Online dating/matchmaking? I participated with online dating for six months, and found it interesting at first, but exhausting by the end. I think for most people, it would be easier & more fun, but I am more than a little off the normal chart, and it was hard to find matches that felt comfortable with me or me with them. The good news is that the very last person to contact me turned out to be my soulmate, and is now my spouse, with whom I am the happiest I've ever been in my life. Considering the end results, I'd have to say I highly recommend it.
I use it all the time, some of my best friends are on these sites....their names are grabmytits56 rockhard303 yourassismine900
I don’t and wouldn’t use it. I’m married and my husband wouldn’t like it. Seems weird, advertising that you need/want a partner/ someone with whom to have fun. There have been instances of people meeting their doom, but I suppose that’s a problem offline too.
I've played around with online dating before and I've come to a few conclusions about it. 1) The overwhelmingly vast majority of people greatly overestimate themselves 2) Expectation management is a thing people need to understand a bit better In other words, I suppose my shallowness may be exposing itself but I found it to be full of average or below average looking women looking for Brad Pitt's and average or below average looking guys looking for Shakira's. The so called standards that many folks had for potential dates were absolutely hilarious to the point where I began to really question what the hell some people actually saw when they look in the mirror in the mornings. I mean I get it, love yourself for who you are and all that and be comfortable with yourself, but the amount of people who have almost absurd standards for dates who can't understand why they remain single is pretty funny. I think online dating is a double edged sword. Sure it lets people set particular traits they are looking for and it allows them to quickly weed out those they may find undesirable, but it has also led to some unrealistic expectations in people. It also takes away the social aspect of actually meeting people in real life and figuring out that you might actually like a guy who isn't a 6 foot tall Levi jean wearing southern cowboy or whatever the hell else you think you "know what you want" as your dating profile says lol.
I've had fantastic luck with online dating. Since I'm a sugar daddy it's a little different than regular dating. But not as much as you might think.The hot women have more than enough options. So it can be quite competitive; esp since I'm not rich. Several women told me that they started getting hits about a minute after posting their profile. So it is a challenge to stand out and get their attention; given there are several hundred other men or more going for the same woman. They have to like me enough to pass up men with far more money than I have. Bottom line: It's a number's game. I've contacted about 5000 women, engaged about 500 in conversation, had 122 coffee dates, and 15 sugar babies. However I didn't meet my first sb online. And they have all been between pretty to breathtakingly gorgeous... and 30 years younger than me. I would have married my first sb in heartbeat. Been trying to find something like that again ever since she finally left.
I met my wife on Metrodate so my opinion is obviously positive. I do have a few recommendations however. 1) Avoid any woman who posts sexy/revealing pictures. 2)Be completely honest about who you are. 3)First date in a coffee shop, not a bar.
I think that's simply the result that a girl who's a 4 can reasonably expect to get attention from a man who's an 8. Men will date down. So if you are woman who's a 4, it makes sense to hold out.
I was gonna say that but I didn't want to sound rude lol. Yeah online dating is highly in favor of women. Men will try to get with anything and even the ugly chick who posts raunchy pictures on her profile has an inbox flooded with guys on a daily basis lol. You better be an above average looking dude if you want attention online. All but the most grotesque of women have to spend a considerable amount of time reading through their flooded inbox on a daily basis so they can for better or worse pick and choose exactly who they want to talk to. Guys on the other hand better have some discernible quality in their pictures or profile description to get any of those women to notice them. I know from experience, I spent years on those dating sites with what I thought was a mature and respectable profile description and I don't think I'm THAT terrible looking. I got like 1 or 2 replies every few months and almost nobody ever messaged me first. My pretty boy buddy transfers into town and gets on that thing and literally has 5 dates in 2 weeks. I'm an average dude with a good job, nobody cares. He's a pretty boy with the same good job, he complains that he's sick of dating all these girls and needs a night off already. Pretty bastard, women are less shallow than men my ass lol.
Although I picked the 3rd option, my true option is, "I havn't used it and I don't know if it's good or bad idea."
Married, have never used a dating site, but have watched my co-workers (both male and female) flounder around with them. I have no clue as to the screening process, but one of my female co-workers end up on a date who's second question was a graphically phrased inquiry regarding anal sex. She turned around and walked out.
I am overwhelmed by dating offers in real life, I certainly don't need to add to that. But I suppose for some people its more of a necessity.
thats exactly how i thwart telemarketers, worked flawlessly, well except for that one time back in '93 when the caller was enthralled & infatuated with my filthy mind... 27 years later, we're still maried... go figure...
I feel it's a lot like cellphones. Before cellphones there were payphones everywhere. But after most people had cellphones, all the payphones began disappearing, and now it's hard to find a payphone anywhere if you don't have a cellphone. Once a new option appears, everyone shifts to that new option, and then it causes the old options to be left behind. It's hard to be the odd man out, so to speak.
One of my co-workers was happily married to a man she met on Match.com. I think it makes sense to have a first date with someone whom you at least have some basic knowledge. Efficiency is not a bad thing.
