Why OkCupid and POF sucks


1. Too many whales

2. Only whales are interested in you

3. Whenever you do talk to pretty girls, they don't reply.

4. If you're short like me, you're f****d.

5. If you go on a date and you're short like me you're f****d.

6. Don't even f*****g bother if you're ugly like me, you stand no chance!

7. Don't even bother if your social skills suck, you stand no chance!

8. You're a guy out of 100 guys fighting for 1 woman.




Why Tinder Sucks

1. Girls are more selective in whom they swipe yes to.

2. Hot girls who swipe yes to you who turn out to be bots.

3. Even if you're average, you only get 2-3 matches a day.

4. It's all about who can say the wittiest cheesiest pickup lines and keep her interested.

5. It's superficial.

6. You're 1 guy out of 100 guys trying to impress 2 or 3 girls.

7. Chicks ghost you so frequently it makes you want to scream!

8. Tinder is full of fake mofos who look nothing like they do in their pictures.

9. If you're ugly, you're f****d.

10. If you're short like me, you're f****d.

Still doesn't explain how women have it better at dating than men. Still not answered. Pretty sad that there is discrimination going on in the dating world.

I am not short I am tall.

Okcupid is the most legit site from what I can tell.

Tinder is full of bots. I think it's also full of dummy profiles just to make you think there are a lot more super attractive some in your area. That last part is just a guess though. I also think that's true about pof.

I think pof and Ashley Madison are using the same tactics. Have bots indicate they like someone, force the user to pay to see who that is, then once they do the likes stop. It's one of the reasons why I will never pay for one of these profiles. That and I don't think it would help anyway.

If you are as short and ugly as you say you are, you may have better luck messaging girls who are just as unattractive as you. Why keep messaging the out of your league pretty girls?

How, exactly, can a girl who swiped you or with whom you exchanged only a message or two on Tinder be considered to have "ghosted" you?

Whales?

I only tried an online dating site once, but met my wife there. Granted this was 10 years ago when many people still thought it was lame (including me) to use them. I'm sure a lot has changed and many people view it differently. Probably way more sites too.

My friend used POF to find two girlfirends, both of whom are completely psycho. Like REALLY psycho. I wouldn't suggest it based on that.

I'd have to say if you are really serious about finding a relationship and not a hook up, a paysite would be the only way to go. Those people (the real ones) are probably more serious about finding the right person.

What about for low class people who want to find a relationship.

Paid sites are for middle class people who are well off.

Something wrong with nurses and teachers?

" Ashley Madison"


ah, I remember now, this was the one that got hacked recently

PoF is awful from everything myself and friends of mine who have tried it have experienced - if it is a body of water where you are to "fish" for a mate, that body of water can be likened to a pond adjacent to Three-Mile Island or Fukushima.

Yeah that's the one. There was an article that came out a little bit after the hack and it showed that the majority if the female profiles were fakes created by Ashley Madison themselves. I think pof does that too, but to a lesser extent.

A lot of women seem to have those jobs, so I don't think seeing lots of them on paid sites would be odd.

Perhaps he just prefers a different type of woman then those who normally go into those professions.

they are probably generally very time consuming and lonely professions, hence with they are using dating sites rather than going out to find some one...

I don't know. I'd guess simply because there are fewer women on dating sites. If there's one woman in the world and five men, the woman is going to have more luck finding dates.

I've had three relationships through online dating, and one through online forums. I currently have nine friends who I originally met through online dating (due to not being compatible romantically but getting along as friends). I have had countless fun dates, and met a stack of nice people through online dating. The vast majority of these people are men, so I happen to know there are plenty of men who have "success" (depending on how you want to define it) through online dating. I guess their secret is that they were looking for someone less mainstream, and targeting their messages towards those they actually felt might be compatible, rather than sending cut and paste messages to as many women as possible, or rather than looking for someone "pretty and not a whale" instead of focusing on compatibility.

I'm not one of those women who gets inundated with messages. Far from it. I send messages myself if I'm interested, and I get maybe (hmmm trying to remember) a message or two per week? Including the spammy ones. I try to make my online dating experience a quality one, and it works. Be honest and interesting in your profile - interesting to the person you are trying to attract, not interesting to as many women as possible!! ! Look for honest and interesting people to contact. Send honest and interesting messages. Learn from your mistakes, e.g. if you are looking for someone rational, mature and calm, perhaps "kittyoncatnip" is not for you. Really figure out who you want to attract and build your online dating experience around those specifics.

Like others have said, males outnumber females on those sites by a wide margin.

For example:

The male/female ratio is 10:1

Each male has to compete with 10 other guys for 1 girl. Out of the 10, 9 of them are going to get rejected, ignored, or ghosted.

Each woman has 10x the number of chances to get a date than men do. Although they get more chances to get a date, they also get more "unacceptable" offers, and many get overwhelmed with all of the messages.
