Does online dating work?

Give it a try if you want :smile:

Personally I think its crap :tongue:

Can't really beat hitting on checkout girls in Tesco, women in coffeeshops and just any attractive lady in the street or on public transport.

back in the day plentyoffish.com used to say that 49% of women left the site with a partner.

They REFUSED To disclose how many men left the site with a partner

Read between the lines there......
Give it a go.

Match, eharmony could prove well.

Plenty of fish is hit and miss.

Be prepared to keep going and keep going.

It sort of brings dating to the status of job or house hunting. And in my experience the occasional dates I had were awful, I've had more enjoyable interviews. I imagine it can work but it will probably take persistence and resilience. I would favour hobbies, voluntary work, friends of friends for finding romance opportunities.
Build some confidence to get a girlfriend believe me start talking to girls. If want sex there is a trick but it is a embrassing trick. By yawning you can make a girl on command. I did just have heard it.

Can it work? Yes.
Will it work for you? Zero guarantees.


Online dating skews expectations from people to the extent that 80% of all British men on OkCupid were rated as "below average" by women.

maybe try and join some clubs, maybe get back into education and join the mature students society. Or meetup
