First, my ego will never let me go on online dating site, or try to date anyone online.
But i had a friend, who is doing it for years. He doesn't meet girls outside of this app world. Results: he gets really cheap sex most of the time. Still doesn't have a serious relationship and never will. By the way all of the girls he meets are like trash. But going cheap requires you to lower you standards - his words.
Almost anytime when he is in town an we go out - just happens that i meet him with hot and sexy girls that for sure don't look and act like trash. We go out with them and he is like: "Man, she is like an S-class, I'm more like a Ford". Then, any fucking time, instead of getting her number from her or me, he tries to get her facebook and writes down shit that works for the trash he is used to, but not here. Any of these girls liked him i would have gone on a date with him if he was not hiding behind filtered profile pictures.
He has done this for at least 5 times, and the story repeats. Only the first 2 times i called him, just to show him the difference. Next times are just coincidences. But every time - he acts like an idiot and then tries to be a "man" online. He was a friend of mine, but still this is miserable.
And this 80/20 is a total crap statistics. Maybie only 20% of men have balls. For me it's like 0.1%. For anything that's worth it i've one rule that works - progress and comfort, can't go on together. If you want a girl - go and ask/meet her. No other reasons needed. If she laughs at you - who cares?
hahah once i went to a girl on the bar just for fun, and she really laugh at me, then i said "sorry i had no idea you are a prostitute", then we had some good time - just to show me, that she is not a prostitute.
