Yeah I'm desperate. What can I say. I actually thought about creating an account...and then saw that it was like $75 for 3 months, and then I was like

So yeah figured I at least better check some reviews first to see if it was worth it.
The reviews are fucking oh so bad. Horrific. It's like nightmare after nightmare about how they constantly re-bill you, even after you've cancelled -- to the point that people have to outright cancel their credit cards to stop the automatic renewals (and this is, supposedly, after they had completed all of the necessary steps to cancel correctly). And then how many, many of the accounts on the site are fake accounts, how dudes will send out messages to like literally 250 chicks (lol) and get maybe 2 or 3 replies -- replies of which are either from Nigerian scammers (again lol) or morbidly obese trailer park chicks. Or a combination of both.
I mean for real, it was like literally an infinite number of these reviews claiming the same thing.
Sheesh, man. Glad I checked them out first.
On the Consumer Affairs website match.com gets the prestigious 1 star out of 5 rating.

Generally speaking, on the paid sites you are probably going to get less traffic and less members. But, you may get more people who are serious about finding a long-term relationship. So it depends on what you are looking for.

OKcupid isn't so bad. i have met some dates and some potentials on this one, and they even have an app for ease of use. it is free, but better if you buy a subscription.

I noticed people on POF are a lot better-looking. OkCupid is full of gross looking hipsters. Not the most attractive people.

i dunno if i would totally agree with that. i could say the same about POF, but i havent used it in ages. lately i've found some very attractive people on it, and you can even search by what you are looking for, body type and all. 
does POF have an app? i like how okcupid matches you up based on the questions you answer.

POF does have an app, but it's really annoying and every time you get a notification or an inbox or a like it makes your phone vibrate and kills your phone's battery pretty quickly, so I never use the app.
The body type thing is such a farce. Because average-looking or even fat people always claim to be "athletic" for some reason. It's my pet peeve actually, seeing out of shape people always describe themselves as "athletic" on dating sites.

you use apple products right? or android? on my phone, i can set what kinds of notifications i get, how my phone handles them and all. i can even set them to silent and have the app either not run in the background, or only work off of wifi. i would assume that android users can do the same.
and yeah, i feel you. the women tend to put "curvy" a lot, whether they just have curves or are afraid to say they have a little extra. i guess it's kind of a perception thing. i put 'fit' because i am, but i'm more above average.

so now they consider themselves "athletic"

Take some bitch with some extra junk on her. Throw your dick in her. Next thing you know your brain will be telling your dick that extra fat is the sweetest gift on earth. Your dick will agree and tell your brain the same thing and you'll be a happy dude totally in love with some cute fat chick who gives good head because she appreciates being made to feel like the incredible beauty she truly is. The only crunches she'll care about is Doritos. And you'll be all about the chubby belly. Win-win.

Theres a few free ones that have alot of girls on it. Its hard to find a good one though.
Tinder, Meetme, Badoo, POF.
I tried them, didn't work. I got social anxiety though so conversations are sometimes hard to keep going. Im a bit picky, and I assume 95% of the girls on there are too. There are a couple that I actually became friends with and smoked with. Tinder has been a 100% fail.

I tried OKC last month but there was barely any people in my radius.... both lack of women and guys. I dislike living in this small "city"  I'm going to try POF and Tinder when I get the energy/motivation to write shit about myself but I really need to start applying for a job and actually meet people in real life And the Yoga classes will be starting in a few days (holiday breaks), so I'll be definetely going to them. It'll also be the first time I meet people on my level; spiritual and likely interested in psychedelics and shit like that
Though, I often have the feeling online dating is just an excuse for *most* people to sit at home, be lazy and not actually try putting themselves out there in the real world

Yeah honestly we need less euphemisms and more colorful, specific language in online dating.
If you're gonna say "athletic" you've got to post your athletic stats, like what is you latest 5k time or how much can you bench
Instead of "not looking for a LTR" say you're looking to have irresponsible sex with as many people as possible
Instead of "open minded" just say you're into anal

Yeah I hate the idea of streamlined relationships, I mean what is the fun in that. I'm not gonna say that looks aren't anything, but it certainly isn't everything. It's not that I don't want to use tinder as much as I would specifically like to avoid the kind of people that tinder is going to attract, no offence to anyone but it isn't for me.
Dating sites are pretty much the same. I mean the odds that you're going to find someone else genuinely interested in connecting with someone are slim. The overwhelming majority seems to be people trolling, not in the internet sense but in the fishing sense, and all that is there is the bait of a person. They're not really there.

Idk tho moonrockmushy, you might try it again just for shits. Its not a bad thing to do when your on the toilet taking a dump. You can even make a fake account with no pics or anything and swipe through to see who is actually on there and see what they seem to be looking for and then make your real account afterwards and tailor it to the type of people you saw in there that you think you'd actually be interested in.
If you only have a selfie of yourself in your bathroom, your chances are slim, but if you have a pic of you riding a horse or motorcycle with a Canadian flag cape on, you will probably get matches.
I think the key to success on tinder especially is to appear unique and new. Women on tinder are constantly sifting through the same old shit and receiving he same old "hey ur cute let's chill" messages.
Make yourself appear unique and interesting and make the first message you send interesting or funny. I find that teasing them about their profile in a mutually funnyish way usually works well
I see a lof of tame looking girls on tinder who actually seem desperate to find a bf.

Honestly it is just too much of a mindfuck for me right now, but I will keep it in mind. I'm coming off years and years of subduing loneliness with drugs, and as much as I would like to be banging skanks off the internet, I know people suck and I don't want to risk any of them getting into my head. I'll keep it in mind however.

Yeah I have been getting better at that. The main issue I have with online dating is I find myself continuously disillusioned and let down, where IRL I tend to like everyone I meet, and more interactions I have with them the more I like them. I'm not sure why it works like that.

Yeah I just don't understand the whole process of building a person up from a picture/online profile. It is a very funny thing and it never sat right with me. I always get a feeling when I meet them like I had it all wrong, and never in a good sense. This isn't really a looks thing either I'm not that picky TBH when it comes to looks, because I realize the value of a decent person.

So I brought match.com up in a conversation with a coworker recently, and he told me he had tried it about a year ago
Said that when he signed up for the free part, all of a sudden he was getting notifications in his email inbox left & right about chicks "liking" his profile, and then shortly thereafter emails from girls
Thing is, in order to see who was sending him these emails (and clicking on his profile, which I guess it shows who does if you're a paid member), you gotta plunk down for a full membership.
Which he did.
Surprise, surprise...all of a sudden after he paid in full, and went to check who supposedly emailed him -- those accounts had been suspended. The chicks who emailed him weren't even there anymore. And then he went from getting daily clicks/likes/emails from chicks to getting zero. Overnight. After his membership was up, which I believe he said he did the minimum of 3 months, then all of a sudden his email inbox started getting flooded with emails again from "girls" (I put that in quotes because it's pretty obvious, or at least it seems to be, that no girls were ever really emailing him)...man that's shady as fuck. I mean that's straight up, full on scam type shit.

I mean that's straight up, full on scam type shit.
Yeah, it's actually a pretty commonly known tactic for paid sites to use bots to lure in subscribers.
First, you get an influx of messages from all these hot girls or guys, but of course you can't read the messages until you pay.
Then once you actually pay for a membership and read the messages and reply to them, you never hear a response from them again.
They lure you in with fake bait.

Said that when he signed up for the free part, all of a sudden he was getting notifications in his email inbox left & right about chicks "liking" his profile, and then shortly thereafter emails from girls
Thing is, in order to see who was sending him these emails (and clicking on his profile, which I guess it shows who does if you're a paid member), you gotta plunk down for a full membership.
Which he did.
Surprise, surprise...all of a sudden after he paid in full, and went to check who supposedly emailed him -- those accounts had been suspended. The chicks who emailed him weren't even there anymore. And then he went from getting daily clicks/likes/emails from chicks to getting zero. Overnight.

if it were proven that that's indeed what they're doing (which I have no doubt it is), could they be held legally on any level?
that just seems straight up out of bounds

I don't believe they're breaking any laws by doing such a thing.
Businesses do that all the time, especially anything related to sex. Just like how ads for fast food burgers look nothing remotely close to what you actually receive.

Honestly, you'd be surprised. All sorts of people use it as it's the mainstream way of meeting people online. I've seen people I've met through school, work, friends, clubs, and parties on there. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of superficial people as well, but it is not exclusive to them.
That being said, one of the greatest ways for success is not taking it too seriously. Just treat it as a way for getting in touch with cool people you otherwise wouldn't cross paths with.
I've had a few successes with both tinder and OKC. On both you'll get plenty of matches with no outcomes or even responses. I think it's just vital not to prioritize it or use it as an excuse not to meet or talk to people in person.
