Online dating - what a useless waste of time.

There are so many things to do in life, if a person you actually like doesn't pop up by accident what's the point in looking everywhere and probably settling for second best......

Yeah it really depends on who you meet really.. i'm also unsure if the paid versions are any better - but it just seems to be more of the same.. but imo people should stay away from POF..it is just so.. what's the word i'm looking for..bleurgh.

POF is popular because you don't have to pay. The paid versions will probably be full of desperates and men, because lets face it... most women do online dating for a bit of a laugh or to gain a bit of self esteem

OKC, is also free to use - but then 99% of the people there, are classified as "replies very selectively"

I do agree though; it's not really a worthwhile venture ~

Doesn't mean any of them will be interested though. :tongue:

I do get replies though.. usually one in 3/.. but I think it's better to meet girls in the fashion humans have been doing for a millennia and beyond.

This. It's unfortunate, but most people would rather look for 2nd, 3rd or 4th best rather than being 'alone'

It's a poor strategy because women's looks (atleast in my generation, I feel) start to decline the minute they're allowed to legally drink.

I remember back when I was 18 when most of the girls I knew looked healthy, lean and still had that healthy glow. Now just after a few of years of binge drinking and crap dietary habits and various other influential factors they just look considerably worse. Not butt-ugly but they look worse. I'd even say that their attractiveness is entirely dependent on their dress sense and make-up application.

Typical Dark Horse posts in this thread.... as shallow as a puddle in the Sahara desert.

Seriously though, you spent two months on an online dating website and only managed to find FIFTEEN people that 'captivated' you. Are you aware how ridiculous that is or not?

Also, they're not ignoring you out of spite. They simply have hundreds and hundreds of guys messaging them and your (probable) piss-poor attempts of seduction are there with a thousand other messages from desperate guys. Either admit your poor online seduction skills and seek to improve them, go out and talk to women in real life, or complain more on student forums.

Good luck sir.

P.S. PM me what you're sending to all of these girls.

Get them when they've just joined :tongue:

The worst thing about this though is that they're usually somewhere really far out or random. Why are all the girls in Lincoln or in boring towns in Lancashire?

At the moment i'm stuck with Yorkshire women :frown:

If you're somewhere like Leeds or Sheffield then the girls will get tons of messages. Decent guys drown under a sea of topless guys and Quagmires

Just uploaded a picture of myself from a couple of years ago when I was ripped and surprise surprise the amount of profile views and messages I get shoots up. That's women for you; shallow as a worms grave.

Men are more vocal about how shallow they are. Women keep the information about how shallow they are quiet.

Hmm I dunno guess what really matters is how much weighting they put on the shallowness...like going out with an insanely good looking guy with nothing else about him.
