Dating sites. Are they worth it?

Post Reply New Topic

For many aspies, its hard to start a relationship, whether you're a boy or girl. Some have relationships, but when they breakup, they will feel desperate for love. But the question is, are dating sites really worth going to for finding love, or are women just using them because they want sex? I personally don't trust any dating sites, but it's a matter of opinion.

Women prefer to wait until later in the relationship for sex. In conversation, usually the man brings up the subject.

I don't trust some dating sites, and some have an enjoyable group of people checking in regularly. It's a matter of personal preference and experience.

If you're looking for a relationship, slow down a little. It's a dating environment, meaning it's very casual flirting. Say hi to a bunch of people and see where the conversations lead. You might even get a phone number.

That's her way of expressing further interest. Texting and chatting is nice in addition to email, to build the emotional connection and just make conversation.

It'll build to a date, and hopefully another.

I believe so, especially if you are shy but want to get your feet wet. Keep in mind though that online dating is a whole different game. Typically there are more guys on online dating sites than women, and thus women who look even slightly attractive are bombarded with hundreds of emails per day with lame messages like "oMG uR tEh H0tt!", which ruins things for decent, mature guys. In other words, you really have to stand out with your profile. Try the shotgun approach and see how that works. I've been on a few dates so far. I could probably date more women if I met them in person, but I'm not at that level just yet.

Only the free ones like Plenty of Fish and OK Cupid are worth it.
If you join a pay site you'll get flooded with scam emails, and most of the matches they entice you with haven't been on the site in months or years.

Sounds like OkCupid and PlentyOfFish to me.

But you are not paying for the privilege of getting scams, and I don't get any at POF or OKC actually.

Consider yourself lucky. I personally don't use POF, but I come across scammers on OKC all the time. Either that or I really turn on hot latino and russian babes.

They always ask for money up front and can never type a coherent sentence. A little spam never hurt anyone.

interestingly, there are more women than men on dating sites. dunno why we all believe the opposite (i used to think so too, til i actually looked it up).


to the OP, dating sites are not for everybody. doesn't hurt to try some free ones. it is in fact fairly difficult to find a woman on those sites who primarily wants sex. they exist but are not common. i'm not sure why you would not trust them overall. they are each different.

and who cares about the scams? it's not hard to report/block/delete.

EDIT: what i mean is that.... as long as you are aware it is a scam, then no harm is done.

i think dating websites have potential, but you have to pay for most of them (T.T) and the free ones it will take a bit longer to use.

Women aren't really the ones using them for sex, thats more common with men.

Online Dating does have flaws:
- You'll be mainly judged by still photos of you, regardless of what you write in your profile
- Guys will get little or no messages unless they are super attractive.
- Girls will get hundreds of messages, most of which from creeps.
- But if you give it time, you can meet someone special.

My personal experience has been s**t. Which kinda matches my dating/hooking up experiences irl. So maybe im the problem and not the website.
