The early days of online dating were pretty great, say late 2000s, into the early 2010s. It was still work but there were other people out there doing the work too and periodically you'd find those people. Fucking Match.com ruined the whole thing. And people who don't use computers, and use their cell phones for everything, also helped to ruin it.
Its a crazy world out there. I just got back into the dating world after a 10 year relationship...its definitely different.
Honestly I think I'm going to be single for a long time these sites don't really seem for me...I'm not ugly but I'm no Brad Pitt and places like Match.com seem to only work for those jock looking dudes lol!
So your only thing is that you don't want sex AFAIK. yea most guys would enjoy sex. Doesn't mean all expect it on the first date though. You can say that up front.
You can also check out dating platforms like match.com or eharmony.com. But these platforms are more serious.
Just chill and stop worrying and "feeling pressure".
Just say "I'm gonna be honest I'm not going to bang you the first x amount of dates. If something develops that's cool if not that's cool as well. Your choice if you want to meet in real life".
The guys who really are interesting in you will still date you and the ones who fuck around won't. It's that easy.
Of course they did! There's nothing more that we, as human beings love than talking about ourselves. We love the attention. Maslow's acknowledge our needs of acknowledgement and recognition from others on the 2nd highest in his hierarchy of needs.
Because my mother offered to pay for 6 months of Match.com! I didn't even really want to do it, because I tried Match 9 years ago and had nothing but bad experiences, but I figured since she offered to pay for it, it was worth another try.
Good news for ya. Tinder and Bumble are both accessible on your computer via web browser.
Tinder's had this capacity for a while, but Bumble just rolled it out very recently. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether you have to first sign up and create a profile in the mobile app before being able to access the browser sites, since I created my phone app profiles first. I do think you'll need to log in via Facebook; not sure if that's a deal killer for ya.
Lol, again, I really appreciate the interesting conversation!
​
Fact is, OKstupid and POF are both owned by "the match group" an entity listed on the Nasdaq that also happens to own a quasi monopoly of dating sites (including Match.com and Tinder). They don't own bumble which is the only dating services I can think of not owned by them.
​
I don't think it's unreasonable to speculate that they are deliberately making modifications to the least monetizable assets (OKC and POF) so that those sites attract members that just want entertainment rather than dating, while trying to drive the dating traffic to better monetizing assets like Match or Tinder.
​
It would be very interesting to get an interview with the big no brains behind the modifications to try and get an understanding of what they are trying to accomplish with those modifications.
I think Match's recent strategy is to make match.com their main "non-swipe" hub, while everything else is variations of Tinder, which except for OKC they all kinda are already anyways. I'm not sure if it works cause match.com is mostly just old people, it might not have a ton of appeal to the OKC crowd.
Male- late 30s, final stages of a divorce. Here's my 2 cents. I used Match.com longer ago than I care to mention. I have just begun to look at profiles etc. after being out of the dating pool for years and I am pleasantly surprised. For one, so many more people are using online dating, and there doesnt seem to be the stigma there used to be. The whole ' we'll tell 'em we met at the supermarket' thing was real. A few of the women I have been contacted by chose to have thier profile hidden and only contact guys they are interested in. I think most of the sites have a feature like this. I look at it this way: If your are walking down the street or standing in a bar, there are people there who are looking for a relationship, you just dont know who is and who isnt. With online profiles, you know for sure and you have as much control as you want over who approaches you and who you approach. So I look at it as just another option and a way to take advantage of the numbers game.
I'm a man, but I still do not recommend paid sites. The services they claim are premium are exactly the same as you get on the free sites. I'm a member at match.com and have sent out 300 messages and haven't had a single reply. I get much more success (and by success I mean a reply... not a date) on POF.
Tinder (the Match.com group) are heavy on the algorithms and into AI to control your results. Similar to their Top Picks, it is based on swiping; obviously more attractive people will be swiped right on more (including from you); thus, this is what you'll see more of until you drain them from your selections. You can also try new (smaller) apps (like Mind Phuc) because they are not full of bots, fakes, spammy, or thirsty people. Even though it doesn't have a lot of members yet, most of them had filled in the added quiz which means they are serious about a LTR IRL.
Here's a book that can teach you how to make requests of people without being demanding:

If you're Canadian you can try my free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deeper&hl=en
No Facebook required, but it's very new so there aren't too many people outside Toronto.
Adult ed classes: art, photography, cooking, dancing, etc. Clubs like skiing, hiking, biking, etc. Meetup.com. Group co-edsports: dodgeball, volleyball, pickleball, etc. Volunteering: Sierra Club, etc.
yoi can find decent ones on amazon. they should be around 20 dollars https://www.amazon.com/Sensyne-Extendable-Wireless-Compatible-Android/dp/B09TQY66NH/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tripod&qid=1667487632&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI2LjMzIiwicXNhIjoiNS43NSIsInFzcCI6IjUuMjkifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-3
I hate to advertise this book all the time, but it sounds this might be you

It's something of a common type, "nice guy", who might be perfect on paper, but doesn't have strong self/doesn't know how to be bold and assertive/bad at even knowing what he really wants not to mention openly going for it/behaves pleasing rather than authentic etc.
If it was just about dating this wouldn't be so important, but the thing is this syndrome is much deeper and would prevent one from realizing, going for and getting what they want in all areas of life.
>If they are who you are trying to appeal to then surely you need to bear their preferences in mind
No:) you put forward your best authentic self, that attracts people who would be into you and repels people who wouldn't.
their preferences are in their minds, you know sh*t about them, you do your part focusing on you (did I overdo this? ;) ), they will do theirs.
I'm stressing this specifically as the OPA seems like an unconfident type who might suffer some version/parts of the "nice guy syndrome"
https://www.amazon.com/Not-Nice-Dr-Aziz-Gazipura-PsyD-audiobook/dp/B077S3FVHT/
and have issues with being assertive and bold and going for what she wants.
p.s. and, no, I am generally more of a stick hard cold truth down your throat rather than "cheer you up" kinda man ;)
Stop being a frustrated little crybaby and learn how to communicate with women.
That's what I did and now I have a wife.
Now you go do the fucking same and stop crying about it.
"Text Appeal for Guys" by Michael Masters. I read it last year. It's less than 100 pages, but it gives solid advice on texting for guys, like ways to build attraction and situational examples. What I appreciate about this book also is that it avoids PUA jargon, and explicitly states that a guy doesn't have to be an asshole just to have success at dating.
It is a little tough to find any decent international dating app that is free, because if it is free the app owners have a hard time vetting users and it will quickly fill up with a sea of scammers. You might try Findmate.app. The guy that runs it is obsessed with security.
If you are a woman you could take the easy road and sign up for one of the apps like Elena's Models or even one of the Anastasia sites. I believe EM is pretty easy for women, because the men pay up front and I don't think they try to follow IMBRA rules about personal info. EM also tries hard on security.
I could offer a little better advice if I knew where you were from and what your goals are. DM me if you want more specific advice.
well, I'm back on Match.com, so take a guess... I found that the rich guys whom I found attractive and interesting wanted young and model-like women. Understandable, but... women who are wealthy and over 45 are pretty much SOL. I know, I hear y'all playing the squeaky violin for me.
Online Dating (OLD) is where emotionally fragile people go to abuse other emotionally fragile people; but among them are some really nice people who have learned how to get through the crowd of crazy and find each other.
Having said that, I would still suggest you find a casual, in-person setting to work on the most difficult aspects of your situation. COVID may be making that more difficult but, if you're in the U.S., Nextdoor.com or Meetup.com may be useful.
Hey, may I suggest meetup.com Speed dating is one of the events that come up frequently around the city areas. It's normally a paid event fyi. I haven't tried it yet but there's a lot of them.
I met my GF on Match.com. Sure, it gets a lot of bad reviews here, but that shit worked!
We have been together for 3 months. As far as I can tell, it's all good and there is no reason to think it's not going to work.
it's good practice to create a limited virtual card per transaction. my CC allows me to do this for free.
alternatively you can use a pay service like privacy.com where you create fake identities and associated credit card information.
Read the section entitled: Sometimes Being an Adult Means Asking Questions or Speaking Up...
​
Yep...there's actually a woman that is a regular volunteer where I work. I never said anything to her about being on the dating site I spotted her at. She was the one of many I had emailed, but...nary a response.
Almost feel like approaching her, and starting from scratch...however...I've seen her come in with a "boyfriend" on occasion whom was big on PDA with her...but recently she was by herself.
I just NOW saw her pop up on Match.com...but when I went to check her FB page, they had a pic of them cuddling up togehter a month ago.
So I'm wondering if these women are having these on-again/off-again relationships with these men....only for them to get into some kind of domestic squabble...and break up for a week or 2, she goes back on dating sites...and then later, he'll be back with him.
This is kind of a redneck area, so a lot of cute, but camo wearing ladies here where most of their boyfriends are beer guzzling, hunting, NASCAR..etcetc etc.
iT's so Jerry Spinger-ish around here lol
Small towns, you run into some of these people online, in person, no getting away from them, but dare I mention "Hey, aren't you POF?" LOL
its very odd. Most of the time I pick up on a cue and unmatch before they ask for something, but ive had some that are definitely scammers that talk semi normal for days. Ill even know theyre scammers and play along just to see what the scam is but nothing! A recent one was a pretty girl, probably out of my OLD league. I spoke to her for a while. She'd text good morning and basic shit. I found an instagram of the real woman and realized she was fake. She never asked for money or to go to any link, nothing. Theres a new one going around too, some massage scam. They ask if you want a professional massage, of course you need to book online for the appointment lol. Another one I came across, I randomly got a text about a login code for match.com. The girl then messaged me saying "I put your number in by accident when logging in can you give me the access code". I'm sure some people actually do by accident, but it's an obvious phishing attempt. It's pathetic and there needs to be more done to stop them.
Which are?
I met my ex-wife on match.com about 15 years ago, have been divorced for 10 years, haven't dated since meeting her. Thinking a little about getting back into the game, which is why I'm reading here.
Thanks in advance!
This came up a few years ago with me. I met a girl (organically), and we were both on Match.com at the time. But not matched in any way on the app.
A couple of weeks after going "exclusive", her photo popped up in the emails that Match.com sends out. (I had disabled my account, but still got the emails). We discussed it (again!), and she supposedly closed her account after that. But negative thoughts lingered for as long as we were together.
(M56) This is the 3rd time I've been on OLD. Always fairly successful, FWIW, but my long term relationships were with people I met through friends, etc.
First was ~2004-2005, Match.com
Second was ~2012, Match.com. I'm pretty good at remembering faces, and I saw MANY of the same active profiles. Many of them with the same old pictures!
Third was late 2020 to now. A few of the women from Match.com 2004 are STILL on there, but, thankfully, they do have updated pictures now.
It might just be a timing thing where they are out of relationships at the same time, so I happen to see them on the app. From looking at women's profiles over the past 3 months or so, many of them seem to go off and then back on the app.
Maybe they just have shorter 1-2 month relationships that don't work out?
Maybe they are busy and don't really want a relationship, but enjoy meeting new people and going on dates?
This applies mostly to match.com since you can specify height as a requirement. I will see a woman I'm interested in but she's 5'0" and requires 6' + It's their preference and they are right to list it but I'm surprised that they want to rule out so many men because they aren't a foot taller. I found some info on Google that said some women assume you're lying so they add some height to make up for it - Arrghhh!
Are you me?
- Tinder = hookups, good to get practice on
- Match.com = AVOID
- Bumble = Good, more liberated and fun women
- Hinge = Best, most attractive women
- OkCupid = Fun, but most of a waste of time
Those ratings may depend somewhat on your city / region. Hinge is your best bet for finding over 30 women down for a relationship. Be warned, LOTS of damaged goods in this category, but they are SO grateful :)
You should read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Attached-Science-Adult-Attachment-YouFind/dp/1585429139/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1637337622&sr=8-2

It helped me realize my relationship patterns and also why some of the women I dated were super into me and clingy until I made myself more available and they fled once that happened. (Obviously for you it would be with men.) It very well may not fit what you have described above but it is worth a read to explore.
I met my X on Badoo. It was a wish upon a star moment. Watch out to because Badoo will start charging you for stuff you dont want! Just about 1/2 ( if not more) of the people will be tagged with the popular tag an it will ask you for tokens to message them. Make sure you take your credit card info from the pay screen if not they are going to try and charge you for stuff!
The people on Badoo aren the best. There are some ok people but its very few. Lot of dead and fake accts on there to. Lots of Misfits type use Badoo as well.
You need to report users not using Hinge for relationships. It's part of the agreement (You can read about it in the Help Center). Hinge wants non-serious people off their apps and onto Tinder etc. (which are all owned by Match.com anyway). A sample size of 2 is not representative either. I (29M) have been in relationship mode for nearly four years now. Hinge has yielded the most quality dates at the highest number, bar none.
>Coffee meets bagel seems too annoying to me.
It is and I hate it, but my best friend met his fiancee on there, so it has some begrudging respect from me.
I would do the opposite. I'd say 'Oh hi, <name>! I remember you from match.com last year before you ghosted me. Anyway, how ya doing?'
I'm old enough to give zero shits about making people who exhibit asshole behavior squirm.
Well, I would normally be in the "too good to be true" camp but my story is somewhat similiar...
I was widowed last year and have had a very hard time with all of the changes. I was feeling lonely and bored one evening and created a Match.com account. I left it up for about 5 days but one of the men who messaged me caught my attention and we started talking. We live about an hour apart so the drive is not too bad but still a pain during the week but he came to take me out one Wednesday and it was just like your situation - we were so comfortable with each other and had so much fun that we met the following Saturday. Same thing as before - it was like we had known each other for years and I have never been as comfortable with anyone so quickly. I was suspicious that there was more to my reaction, whether it had something to do with being lonely or my normal guard was down but I decided to roll with it since it was the first time I had been able to breathe since my deceased partner got sick.
With that said, we have been seeing each other for six weeks now and I don't think I have ever been with anyone that made me feel as special as he does. He constantly is lifting me up and reminding me how strong and special I am and that has done wonders for the broken shell of a person I thought I was when I met him. Honestly, even if this does not work out in the long run, I will forever be grateful to him for being gently with me and my heart and lifting the giant rock that has sat on my chest since last year and allowing me to breathe and live again.
None of us knows what will happen (as I unfortunately found out the hard way) but I am not going to let him go because I am scared that this is too good. I plan to savor every moment that we have together and be thankful that he has been so good to me each day...if something happens, then I will know that I did what was best for me and accept the consequences.
I say go for it!
>instead of blindly clicking on things
current internet model is to have a large user base. have users impulsively click around and show them ads often. on the contrary you're suggesting people actually pay attention. will it catch on? maybe a small user base. good luck with that.
you're suggestion also limits users to people willing to pay. 1) look at % of paying members for services like POF and tinder and 2) success of pay only services like match.com. do people prefer limited genuine paying user base? or a free service with a seemingly limitless user base? so far it seems like most people like free and limitless, even though it is frustrating and dysfunctional for most.
if there's a price to be paid, we may as well create costs for not replying to messages and flaking on dates.
eHarmony and others including Match.com go out of their way to stop people finding real users, keeping things vague. They don't allow you to search for users directly as a way to stop people matching up outside the site, they don't show you who has been on recently or who has paid to encourage users to contact non-paying people and thus, in Match Group's world anyway, encouraging them to pay up. It's all about what's good for the site and not the actual paying users. And boy do they charge! Until they find a way to allow people to connect their way these sites will never be worth the money.
>Listen, I don't want to be rude, but my Match.com ladies need to be more liberal in their use of the must-have sliders.
>
>For example, if your profile bio reads "Christ is everything and I am looking for a man whose life is built on Him," you definitely need to mark your religious preferences as mandatory so you don't pop up on my atheist heathen match queue. Remember, your profile is about drawing in who you want, but it's also about keeping out who you don't want, and if I lack a mandatory trait, help us both out by marking that trait as mandatory, yeah?
>
>Right on, I love you all and good luck out there.
Well people are lazy and will not do this so I learned to just ignore these people. Plus even if they said this it would not stop guys that do not match well with them from sending them stuff. Imo you are basically wasting your time asking them do this.
All an app has to do is show me every single woman in my area. Once I get past the initial flood of people when I create a profile it's simple to stay on top of people who move to my area. This makes any kind of matching algorithms utterly pointless. AT MOST all the apps need is a filter system so I can weed out smokers, for example. I'm speaking for myself here obviously but I think this stuff would apply to any user.
Also, I think a reputation for having the most users is more beneficial than having a reputation for successful matches. The app can't force compatible people to use it no matter how fancy their AI is. This is why apps like match.com advertise having a billion users or whatever. And lastly, since the apps can't control which people use it and what those people are looking for the only way they can reliably make money is to play dodgey games with their boost shit, pumping out fake likes, and leaving abandoned profiles up to make their user base appear bigger than it actually is.
I tried paying for online dating three times in my life, out of the 15 years I've been using it off and on. In my experience, there is absolutely no benefit to subscription-based services like Match.com and Eharmony. Match actually had more bots contact me after I signed up than any of the free services (with the exception of Plenty of Fish which I am convinced is a secret AI-training facility). The problem with the mandatory pay services is that the kind of woman who would pay to use an online dating tool when she can get a million matches on Tinder in a week is probably not someone you want to be dating.
On the other hand, I have found there is some benefit to using boosts like in the case of OkCupid (sparingly). I've used two boosts over the course of about six months and each time I've done it I got 4 or 5 likes in an hour when normally I get that many in 6 months (I am average looking and online dating doesn't work in average people's favor).
So yes, subscription and premium accounts are a scam, but everybody else kinda knows that. Also, your 80 percent is way off. I don't consider myself desperate nor do I consider any of the other men I know. I just like online dating because a lot of the women I meet in public are morbidly obese and that isn't my type. Boosts are worth it for a lot of people. Out of the matches I got during boosts I actually ended up going on dates with 5 / 12 of them. That's a really high ratio for 2 hours of matches.
>It's not in the apps interests though, to be too successful in getting people into successful relationships.
I think this is the main problem in dating apps in general. The business case goes against the purpose of the app. In an ideal app you would sign up and get your dream match, and go away happily forever.
I think OkCupid is a good example. Before they got bought by match.com they worked had on improving matches, since then I have the impression they only invested in design and marketing and the original (good) features are hidden or gone.
>Match has a deal where if you sign up for a 6 months sub and don't find anyone in those 6 months you get an extra 6 months free but it has rules and regulations to it.
Yeah, so I wasted 6 months on Match.com. I'm definitely not wasting 6 more months. It's not the service that's bad, it's the people and the flakes. Talk to people for a week, plan to meet up and then get stood up the day of. Nice.
Wow. Just... wow. Makes me wonder why any man would bother and how any woman actually finds a half-decent bloke on there. Seems like a disaster zone. Well, I'm on Match.com as well as PoF now and I'll try it out. I also might sign on for Eharmony (though the ENDLESS questions about religion still weird me out) which might winnow out some of the crazies.
Thanks a lot - that's really helpful.
I was a paid member of Match.com. I honestly didn't really think anything of it - services like that cost money to run and frankly, I'll spend four times their monthly subscription just buying dinner for my date and I. That said, a girl I met on a site said she suddenly felt very differently about it once she realised people were paying to be on there. I shrugged and asked why but she didn't really explain. I think she thought there was something "cheap" about money being involved.
​
I think it might show you're somewhat invested. I'm not sure it discounts hook-ups to any degree. Spending £15 a month to hook up with people would sound like a bargain to me if that's what I was after, so I wouldn't rely on that too much.
There is also a book "Women who love too much" explaining why some women tend to be a fixers and to be attracted to people with problems, and so on. It's really a nice book to understand somethings about each person self and find a way to overcome it. But I totally agree with you, you should always trust your instincts and guts, they are always telling you the truth.
Unfortunately these things can happen. It takes time to get to know someone. Not much consideration was likely given in terms of quality time, energy, etc. Did you talk about upbringing, passions, future plans, etc or was it all superficial?
I recommend reading this: https://www.amazon.com/Talking-Strangers-Should-about-People-ebook/dp/B07NDKVWZW
Try MatchLyfe dating app, people won't ghost on you.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neoliteconsultant.matchlyfe&hl=en_US
Mind Phuc doesn't have a large user-base because it had only launched about 5 weeks ago; most of the people who joined are pursuing LTR. Depending on what you're looking for, your searches can yield different results. Different apps can also have alternate parameters for matching which can also change the number of matches shown to you.
You're being needy. It's only one girl. Read this book.
​
Some of these flakers/ghosters are super easy to spot right away in their profiles or first few words (not that you should unmatch immediately but take note of red flags). Many people are either too trusting, lack self-awareness or let attraction get in the way of logic. Every person using dating apps should read this book: https://smile.amazon.com/Talking-Strangers-Should-about-People-ebook/dp/B07NDKVWZW?sa-no-redirect=1
Just don't use hookup teenager apps like Tinder or Grindr. Try 123Date or Elite Singles, they are focused on people 35+ and I did not meet bots or scammers there. If you want to save time and frustration, focus your efforts on the sites and apps that best fit your circumstances. People on 123Date more mature as for me. Good luck :)

Honestly Tinder isn’t the best place to find a relationship, but it is a great place to build confidence and you can learn a lot about what you’re really looking for with it.
10 years ago people had actual conversations back then, talked on the phone, and actually met in person.
You didn’t have to put up with ghosting, or worrying about how amazing your pictures and profile where, or how smooth your opening line was… and you shouldn't really. I can recommend 123Date, at the moment it's better what I used. But my main advice - go to outside, take part in the life that active boils around you!
It depends on what you are looking for online - casual or serious. If serious, check out this book, it talks about what pics to pick and what bio to write so you can attract the right people!
Try tinder! It's the most popular app! Also it sounds like something is wrong with the pics you chose and your online profile. Check outthis book, it talks about how to know if your online profile needs an upgrade.
Sounds like you have something wrong either with your profile or you are not swiping the right way. If you are looking for a serious relationship, check out this book. It's a road map for both girls and guys looking for something serious.
Idk what you are looking for online, something serious or casual? If you want a serious relationship from online, then you are saving yourself time and trouble by meeting up early. I recently read a book about this and it says the fastest way to find Mr. Right is to delete the wrong ones as long as you spot them. How do you know if they are right or wrong if you don't even meet them? If you are looking for a serious relationship from online, this bookcould save you potential heartbreaks.
You should check out this book before you decide to quit. Online dating is a great resource, but it needs a trained eye to know who deserves your attention there.
So proud of you girl! Not a lot of people are brave enough to know and stick to their standards. I think it's absolutely fine to only want something serious, but saying "want a relationship" on the profile may be too much at the get go - you can say sorry no hookups. If you are interested in developing a real relationship from online dating, you should check out this book. I recently read it and it talked about exactly what you are asking in the book.
I think you did the right thing - obviously he was only looking for sex. Depending on what you are looking for online, you should respond differently. If you are looking for something serious from online dating, you want to be respected. If you are looking for something casual, then it really doesn't matter. If you want a serious relationship from online dating, I think you should check out this book. Apparently it is a new book about finding Mr. Right online. One girl commented saying she was ghosted before, and then month later she was matched to another guy on another dating app. She used what's said in the book and they are now on the 5th date.
Thanks for sharing! I recently read an awesome online dating book called swipe to the altar. My friend told me about it bc apparently this book helped her go on the 5th date with the same guy that once ghosted her before. She said she didn't realize she kept making same mistakes over and over again until she read this book. Then I checked it out (bc it is super cheap right now on amazon lol), I wish I read it when I was doing online dating! But I gotta say it's only for people looking for serious relationship online, not for casual daters - at least that's how I feel and what the reviews say on amazon. Oh here is the link.
