 So what is your take on the online dating world?

I don't have much experience with it. I made an OKCupid account years ago, and ended up briefly dating someone but we wound up as great friends who talked pretty much every night on the phone for hours for a long time. I haven't tried online dating since, but I'm curious because I work all the time and stay busy. I don't really like bars, never have. What is the online dating scene like these days? I take almost no pics of myself and hate having people force me into pics. I don't do social media unless you count The Shroomery.

it's never worked very well at all for me. Never really met anyone cool or into me.
Women just have too many options on that shit and they all want the same few guys.

It's unavoidable with the society we live in unless you have tons of free time and capital.
Meet as soon as possible, pay attention to body language and things you can't pick up on from an online chat or profile.
Good people find each other, bad people get found out, start the important questions early.

There's this one girl I'm thinking about talking to. I don't want to come off as to eager but I want her to know what my intentions are. I guess you don't know unless you try but it's been months I've been thinking about messaging her. You think I should? We like each other's pics an stuff and I think she used to have a crush on me.. the anxiety I get is unreal tho.

I'm pretty sure I'm not hideous or anything, I've had decent luck with regular dating in the past but I'm really just too busy at this time. Since I don't participate in social media stuff and don't take pictures of myself or have my friends take pics of me when I think I'm doing something awesome (fucking weirdos lol), I feel like I may be wasting my time with online dating. With regular dating, I have been praised for not having much online presence but always get told I'm weird for not wanting my shit super public eventually  I've posted more pics in the pics of pubbers threads of myself than I ever posted when i used facebook for real.
I honestly feel like since peeps can't just look me up on facebook or whatever they don't trust me or at least doubt me. I kind of feel the same about peeps who intentionally cultivate some sort of non-anonymous online presence though. It seems so weird sometimes, social media leads to really fake personas and I just don't understand why people like it. I would like to meet people for real, but I think I'm approaching the online dating world with disadvantages

Go join a club you're interested in or volunteer at your local animal shelter, food pantry or something like that. You'll probably meet some good-hearted gals/dudes that are more than skin deep.

It's normal for me to wake up at 5 am, go to work one job, leave job and go straight to next job, and get home around midnight. I don't like it but it has to be this way for a while. I work weekends too, just not quite as long so I try and catch up on sleep but my hours are always changing on the weekends. Idk if I can make club meetings while I'm on this schedule, but I like the idea. I like reading philosophy and sci-fi, but lately I just try to sleep when I'm off. I barely read at this time, though I got some books I really want to get into. But I also want to meet people. I'm bi but I mostly feel connected with women.

Yeah if you don't have time then those are out the window I guess. I'm the same way about pictures, and I also don't have social media besides here so that makes it considerably more difficult to use tinder or whatever. Maybe some of the other ones are better/less shallow, idk. I've had success on tinder a few times but it's never that fulfilling of an experience for me, just one night stands where masturbation would have honestly been just as good lol. I wish you luck in your pursuits though, let us know how it goes!

When I lived in a small mountain town I had a lot of success with OkCupid, but I was one of the few guys in the area on there. There were maybe 10 girls within an hour and a half. I think I ended up meeting up with half of them. I think being from the city helped me stick out since they were probably used to all the same guys. Those were some of the weirdest experiences of my life though.
One thing that worked when I was living in the city was to find some event that still had tickets left for that weekend and message girls with a brief comment on their profile and then saying I had some spare tickets to ________ if they wanted to meet up there. I had decent success that way. With the pandemic it'd obviously be harder but there are still things to do outside and around people that might get them feeling comfortable and excited to meet up.
The quicker you can meet up the better. A lot of girls are on there just for the conpliments and attention and have no intention of a relationship or ever meeting up. Any girl you talk to is likely getting dozens of other messages from better looking guys. It sucks but the only option really is to message any girl with a profile that you are even slightly intrigued by, and get the conversation offline and/or interesting quickly.

I've had pretty good success with it. I think most of the real connections I've had tho I found irl
Actually now that I'm thinking about it I did make a couple friends that seem pretty long term. We didn't work out but they are great to have as friends because they can give you a female perspective on things which will hel in future endeavors. Having female friends make you seem less "threatening" I think too. Someone feel free to tell me I'm wrong just my

Does that mean you showcase your female friends somehow or you just have social media so your friends on there are publicly viewable? I have plenty of female friends but I don't see how that helps with online dating except for Facebook or something. If anything, having female friends does allow the possibility they can set you up with their female friends, but that tends to not be so great. The friends I get set up with are a bit on the crazy side.

I mean actually being friends with them; it's crazy I know. I don't have them on social media. Just anecdotes and stories of interactions with them. It makes any chick who is interested start going crazy when she hears you are cool with some females. She doesn't know if you guys "hook up" or not and won't be asking till you're already in the clear

This one girl tells me all about the guys she's in love with cuz she's a little bit more immature than me. But she's sexy af and whenever I bring her up it makes chicks I don't know respond friendlier. Idk man, it's basically a statement of "I'm not a creep; I have chick friends who like me and trust me"

Huh. Like I said, I have plenty of female friends. I just never "used them" as conversation pieces for dating women. I guess that makes sense, a lot of the time when females mention male friends they actually mean guys they were or are fucking, and seem to want you to be worried about it lol

Fuck doing nething that caters to a woman ever.
They want friends, a house and money in that order. They do not surf the internet to look for prince charming, they can do that in public.
On the internet Im Summer of sam, irl I could easily hook up with someone ten years younger. You jus dont equate women hobbies like man fishing with logic.

My problem is that I just don't feel like I have enough to offer. Even tho I have a decent amount of money and stuff.. I dropped out of high school and didn't go to college. Just makes me feel kinda worthless tbh. My self of steam is low. If I could only meet someone who could sympathize with me.

I get on there once every few years thinking I might find someone worthwhile, but it usually only takes a week before I get frustrated and give up. I always get a ton of messages, but most of them just say "hi". I guess its an ok start, but give me something to work with. Read my profile, comment on something- start a conversation. Also.... Smile in your pictures if you post any. I have no desire to chat with someone who is glowering at me. As a female, I want to feel safe. A sullen, mean mugging photo does not help me open up. At all. It's hard though. I feel like a good person, fairly attractive, smart, financially stable, honest, etc. But I have never really found anyone I meshed with. I suspect I never will. And the older I get, the less likely

It is great. Easy way to meet lots of women. I had more sex last year using bumble and hinge than in all previous years combined. Fortunately i settled down with one person a couple months before the pandemic or else I would have been SOL this whole year

Take the hitler cat pic off of your profile, you'll probably get more matches.
Online dating succcccks. Mostly. But I know people who have met someone and wound up married.
I think it's good for 1. Getting back into the swing of dating and remembering how to talk to new people. 2. Realizing what your true preferences are.
It's also good for making you super self-conscious, super judgemental to the point of treating people like they're replaceable, and feeling totally worthless.
My advice is to not treat it seriously, and don't go out to dinner on first dates.

I mean it's one thing if they're ugly and just downright unsexy (in terms of their behavior). if they're ugly I cant get horny no matter what
but fat girls can still be pretty and sexy.
it can be the start of a wonderful new chapter in your life my friend

The online dating world is tainted, IMO.
Sure it's easy and fun if you just want physical connection, but if you want something deeper than that, my advice is to steer well clear of it.
--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

lmfao, lot of emotion in this thread
up until 15 or whenever years ago, you didn't really meet girls/guys unless it was in person, dating apps got heated up 7-10 years ago maybe, in the sense that it was 'easier' to meet/hookup with people
very quickly real meetings switched to a disposable digital media with no real consequences unless you were really stupid with your media, people still met up in person while plugged into their phones because things were open, this year has been a mind fuck to everyone because now people just have their phones figuratively speaking
i am pre-Bumble/Tinder apps by upbringing, and when i did go on and try my luck at a love connection, it was weird and cool in a way, but ultimately not how i will meet someone, there's way too much you can't tell about someone through the interwebs to feel hot to me, i am old fashioned in that way
dating apps can be exciting, and if that is what you are used to you might be benefitting from it, who knows. this being said, i know a few people who hook up what i would consider regularly, but i don't think there's any real seeds being planted there except for the one minute oats. personally i am fine being alone if being with weirdo is the option lol

this is my understanding as well, although I've never been on any of the online dating sites, friends have. Some are successful (the same ones who are successful offline anyway), but I don't know any relationships that came out of online dating except for gay couples (seems the vibe is a bit different if you're a guy looking for guys). \
really doesn't appeal to me but thankfully I haven't had to date in years

How do you mean tainted? I think you mean in the same sense that social media taints things, but I am not sure.
I gave a woman my number the other day but she isn't local, don't really expect her to text or call, but it was fun talking because we connected and got that super fun vibe , lots of smiles and some giggling.
I really haven't made many attempts at dating lately, I made this thread because I miss it. But I work a lot and when I'm off it's usually late. I could be hitting up guys but I'm more in the mood for the ladies I guess
Next time I meet a lady I would like to date I kinda want to throw a curve ball, ask her to do something weird. I have ideas. Conventional dates seem routine and boring to me

If you want a quickie with a fatty it's good for that.
Or random weird shit like banging some guys wife while he watches on old cragistlist.
Those are my experiences with it. Other then that I think it's shit.

I like big women sometimes, really depends on their personality like with all women though. Actually women who've been big their whole lives tend to have an approach on reality that is quite refreshing.
I guess I'm not really looking for quickies.
I'm interested to hear what women's opinions on online dating are, it may be a very different perspective

why? are most of the women there just for some fun and are superficial or something?
I havent done online dating but it really seems like the only option for me atm to get a ladyfriend and possibly future wife or something.
I just want to find someone who loves me, but am indeed scared of getting hurt or just unlucky many times. I guess one just needs to be persistent in trying to get what they want.
How much info should one put on the profile? Like everything what you want and like? I figure the more info the better matches suiting what you are after.

I think it can be great but it's like wading thru the sale bins looking for a gem.
I have found the ladies to be thirsty the last few months. I had covid back in May so wasn't that worried about dating.
I do think that some of the women have absurdly high standards for what they look like but that's just my opinion.

A fat chick at 2 am is not as guaranteed but pretty damn close to a dude off grindr lol.

Man I had the most bizarre situation lately. So I add this girl on facebook. looks familiar. Turns out she lives in Anchorage my old home town and not my current home town. Bummer. So when she asks who I am I do my speal of I thought you looked familiar but i mixed up the towns but my point was was if you didn't know me you probably should.
She says she's involved with someone anyway. So I say that's cool that's a beautiful thing i'm happy for you. At this point I think you know conversation and interaction over.
She calls me. Like what? I was so intrigued I had to answer. The past 3 days we've been talking on the phone like high school kids lol. IT's so bizarre. I really had to put up some barriers though as I was becoming pretty attached, she's cute, funny, and we have a fuck ton in common. It seems to be just my luck that i hook a keeper like that and she lives 3k miles away.
She went on a date with not even this guy that's supposed to be her person. Which annoys me even more. If I was there I could have totally stolen her from this dude lol. But I digress. It's just been weird man who calls in the first place lol.
So I dunno what to do. She hasn't talked to me much today besides saying she's on a date. So i'm glad i've erally been writing out my feelings and you know she's been completely honest with me so it's not like she's doing anything wrong. I just hope we still talk and stuff sometimes. I reallu enjoy her voice and I don't feel uncomfortable talking to her at all. Plus it's a good one to have on the back burner.
Just joked with her today well so when's my date huh? If we keep in touch and keep connecting you'll have to come down and visit me for a week. I'd totally be down to set something up like that if she wanted. Plus I saw she writes some poetry which I used to be quite the poet/writer myself so I wouldn't mind doing some collab with her if she wanted.
All in all it sucks. She's smokin' hot and doesn't have any kids at 30. I mean that is like finding a god damn unicorn. I can't lie I am pretty bummed out about the whole situation. Especially since listening to her complain about her exes they've all just been really shitty people to her. I'm not perfect or anything but my mom at the very least taught me to respect women. Plus I'm a fully functioning adult that an clean my house and I'm not looking for a mommy.
Ahhhhh man i'm honestly so bummed. I'll just have to keep positive. I know how long distance shit works. They have the upper hand because they are there. I'm really glad I typed it all out today becuase I Didn't expect her to stop talking to me until atleast the other guy got back from work like 10 days from now or whatever.That was a good idea to get on top of that shit and look at it realistically. The realisticness of it sucks big donkey balls but that's just all there is to it.

I'm guessing you think that because you yourself see the world that way. I have no reason to disrespect women. I love pussy. It's like. top 5 favorite things.

Tried since 2012 online
Only met 2 people actually 1,, both nightmares
Met some girl who showed up with another guy
To what was supposed to be our date
They both laughed and gave me a dirty look
Than they got their own table and just laughed at me
I looked better then both of them no kidding
Actually only told her i like nature and stuff
Never really said anything they were just dicks
Only met one other girl
She was very kind
Dont think she knew what it's like to be a guy
She actually was very rude a few times
Don't think she actually knew
Been there too as well
It's different though
I ended up getting mad at her through messages drunk
I feel pretty bad about it
Was just so frustrated
Thought for sure
I could have at least got laid or something temporary
Used to come home from work or whatever everey day
Wishing i had friends or that a girl would like me
Every day for so many years just so depressed
So when i would meet new people i felt close easy
They don't know what it's like
They don't / didn't know at all
I was always nice to, way to loyal
Thats how i met the worst people ever
_
You do know for most of us it's like different worlds
Especially when it comes to dating
Most guys dont have many options
While most women are beating them away with a stick
I think it has to also do with my area
Maybe in a very very big city i could be successful with it
I tried it again recently and never will again
Women let you know if they like you
They make it very easy and obvious
So i wont be walking up to any
Just got to wait it out
Or pay some professionals
I'm open to try something in the future
Feels like i am ready now, could care less if it ever happend
Things work strange
They really don't know what it's like
All in all I'll never do online dating, so they can just laugh at it

That first example sounds really bad, hopefully it was some massive miscommunication but it kind of just seems like it was douchebaggery.
I actually talked to the only woman I met from online dating last night, she sounds like she's in a good place for the most part. We're still friends.

Good
Good luck : )
My area is no good fot it at all
Yeah about that first one that was nothing
Stuff like that has happend to me all of the time
People really need to be careful who they mess with
Many do snap, you never really know
It's really sad how it's so acceptable to act like that
Aka fascist people should all fuck off

Oh I'm not trying to date her again, we've been friends for going on 5 years since dating. She's great, but neither of us are looking for that at the moment. Just catching up, we used to talk pretty much every day but fell out of touch a little when we each got busy.
Stuff like that happens all the time for you? That doesn't seem like a common occurence for most, I'm not sure I understand. You mean people set up fake dates with you a lot with the intention of making fun of you?

The online dating community is fun (in a city from a basically straight guy's perspective, at least). I've always enjoyed it. I am not one to just go to bars with my friends and talk to strangers; I'm a very introverted individual.
With that said, though, I will open up very easily with the right person and I love gettin freaky 
I've only really hung out with a few women from Tinder but both of those made for interesting stories plus I got some booty. Went into it with the awareness that I wasn't gonna pursue anything serious and gave off the energy that I'm pretty no-strings-attached. Still am friends with some of them.
Some girls I talked to were kinda crazy but it was fun. One collected and bred high-end snakes and she definitely had a couple screws loose but chatting with her off and on for a few weeks was a good ass time and helped me feel more comfortable really giving Tinder a shot.

Naw man people can just be dicks
I am very noraml and friendly as well
went down to the river today
Everybody seemed really nice and happy
If you came here or set up a profile
You'd understand, tinder actually dosen't even find people in my country
Border area, it's all good though
Plently of fish is a ghost town
Most meet through school
Somewhere i never went
I've had some chicks who seemed interested
Like through day to day life
I wasn't ready yet
Next time I'll ask
Most important thing that could happen, yet don't care
If the border was open I'd be on dating stuff
