Story Online Dating

[Sherri]

So yesterday I decided to give an online dating a chance after many years without being to one. Met one sweet talker, baby this baby that, I was laughing on how fake he was. Now I opened that app, and it was flooded with messages baby can you borrow me money baby. Baby your ass! Deleted. Idiots. Stay alert ladies, as some of us might be more vulnerable and easy give in.

I'd rather just stay single for the rest of my life than stick up a profile on an online dating app lol.

I pretty much gave up on the online dating apps. As a hetero dude, it's basically a waste of my time. It often feels like tailoring a C.V. to your job application. I lost touch with people a long time ago and arguably I was never in touch with anyone. Don't get me wrong, I've had some success with online dating as pretty much my only means to have some sort of intimacy, but the majority of people are hard for me to relate to. Not that I'm some sort of special snowflake or something, cause I certainly am not. I just don't know or don't share what people like to do with their time.

True, but I think usually it's the opposite way.

I think both men and women are equally vulnerable to bad experiences and bad people of both genders in the on line dating world. If we are already broken/lonely people we are even more vulnerable. That makes it even harder.
But at least you tried.
I am not brave enough to try it even though I am lonely. I would really struggle with the inevitable rejection I would get.

I tried online dating for a while but all the women on those sites have stuff like, "I'm so done with all you assholes, men are a joke!" in their profiles. I don't really blame them, though. Men are kind of dumb. Online dating men are even more dumber. I actually got one girl to talk to me after dozens of attempts, but the conversation consisted of "thoughtful opening thing here" "Hi how r u" "fine, [open ended questions and what passes with me for witty banter here]" "Oh okay." I eventually gave up. I now presume that all people on online dating sites are actually chimpanzees pressing buttons for bananas. I think like in all things, the trick is to stop thinking, stop worrying about what might happen, and just be playful with it. If it doesn't work out, that's no big thing. But if the other person starts asking for money or n00dz, well, they probably didn't get spanked enough as a child.

I've had alot of luck as a male with dating apps, even when I put in minimal effort. I don't consider myself good looking so I don't really understand the success I've had with it.

 

[Ghost2211]

I've never tried dating sites or apps. I have met the last 2 partners online, but not intentional... it can be easier to connect online if one is a bit of a loner and as such doesn't get out to socialize.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Yeah, online dating sucks. You have to really leave out a lot of your personality to make people even consider you.

Also Tinder raises its prices for Tinder Gold if you are older than mid 20s. Not sure why, but it's still scummy imo.

 

[WitheringAway]

Do girls really give random dudes they barely know money nowadays?????
it seems like it's not his first time lol.

Honestly the paid services are a scam. I get a shit ton of matches on the free version. Paying money won't give you a better profile or better looks.

It will. It will make your profile appear for more people, it will allow you to see who liked you so you get to choose who to like back, and many other benefits. May you do are good looking to be getting so many matches in the free plan so that you think the paid one is unnecessary.

I have a low self esteem so it's hard for me to judge myself on looks. I'm not very photogenic either, I think most of it is due to other factors and variables though.

I know people with way more solid profiles that pay for it and get less dates though. Like I said, I think it's about many variables. Ultimately you just have to try different things and see what works.

I had a go for a while, mostly I found those that nobody else wanted, and after a few messages I realised why.
One or two seemed polite and nice enough, but we both were happy with messages and it never progressed. I wasn't worried. It was a free profile and they chatted without coming across as freaky.

 

[GravityUtilizer]

For me a (very) few matches here and there that are guaranteed to go nowhere.

I barely get any matches at all and when I do it's with people I wouldn't be remotely attracted to or interested in.

 

[AJ95]

Yikes, that sounds gross. Which app was it?

 

[Silvermorning]

Never tried those. I feel they are for normal people (as in non suicidal), with normal lifes, goals, etc

 

[GrumpyFrog]

How desperate for money that guy should've been? Jeez...

Unfortunately Max these days it's the only way to meet people.

Some older women do, women like in their 50s. The internet is full of those stories.

Well these days online dating seems to be the only way to date, and im not a loner, that's just the way the world became...

 

[Cherrypea]

I met my partner of 11 years on a dating site. First date for both of us, think we were both just pretty desperate

 

[Deleted member 1465]

LOL I wouldn't last five minutes. Unless i tried to train them for a laugh.

My friend found love online though...

But seriously, I can't imagine myself fitting into any profile and getting matches. TBH I'm tempted to try it for a laugh.

It's true. Especially with how things right now are there's even less opportunity to go out and meet people in person first before anything else.

For curiosity, applied at 2 sites lately (after @Brick In The Wall convinced me that if you cook Tacos in front of TV, you become a threat for the ladies ), with geographical specific differences, with zero intentions to engage, zero efforts produced (no info, just pics), like a fisherman who forgets his hook. Tbh, I'm doing too fine alone, not being a slave to pussy but very driven about an emotional connection instead, which I fail to imagine getting with someone within the norms. Didn't hit no jackpot but 15+ decent hits, sufficient and comforting considering my averaging down. But it really was how the quality spanned which has been eye opening. Have no plans to repeat anytime soon but it appears a viable outlet.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

Sorry...this got my laughing so hard!

being a slave to pussy

 

[Viro_Major]

Honestly, think I learned more about my attractions at SS than anywhere else.
If being an almost anti-social person, crashing into too many diametrically opposed personalities can make you lose your bearings, until a focus, which is sharper than before.
The diversity here is phenomenal if you dwell on digging. *C*I*R*C*U*S*
If I had to perform some custom shopping, likely it would end up in something like that

A slice of everyone since ya'll are just too cool !

Wouldn't call it desperate, it's the only way to find people these days.

That's why I did it, for a laugh...

 

[Myforevercharlie]

I met my former partner online, we were together for 12 years. Not all people on dating/ profile sites are there to make fun of others or to feel better about themselves. But I do think you have to research where you post. A lot of free sites attract people who are not seriously looking for a partner/ friends
