I've never done dating via online but I have plenty of friends (these guys are young, good looking, hard working - normal, good social skills) who have zero luck. Essentially all online dating - be it apps or websites is an arena where the odds are stacked up against men, period. Don't believe the bs hype you see advertised about these sites and apps. This is a harsh thing to say, and I certainly do not mean to offend anyone, but no man with any dignity or self respect should waste his time with meeting women via online.
From what I have been told, many women have profiles on tinder and similar sites / apps just to get contacted / attention from guys with no intent to even respond to the men who showed them interest.
And you'll be competing with rich dudes and their sports cars.
I understand the current state of things and I don't envy young guys today trying to find a decent gal, though I do not think that it is hopeless.
Instead of using online dating means, try using the web to find in-real-life events you might enjoy (for example meetup.com) that are local to where you are, and meet women in a more natural means like an art exhibition, or a movie club, book club, or something that you enjoy as well where members of the opposite sex will also be in attendance.
