Has anybody really had any luck with online dating sites?

Question

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the commercials about these sites and how all of these people met online and they're madly in love, etc, etc. But I've joined a few and have met no one. I get to the point of communicating a little bit back and forth, but then some women see what I look like, and I never hear from them again. I don't think I'm a bad looking guy and have a lot to offer, but it just seems like some of these sites, the women on them, care more about looks and other things besides what type of person you are. I understand that's basically what people are in the real world, but was just wondering if anyone out there really used dating sites and are with someone you met on line?

( I didn't join certain sites thinking I was going to find a wife, but it's a little shocking to see how many women out there care about looks and money so much) I posted a fake pic of a good looking guy and actually talked to these woman like c**p, and they wanted me (the good looking guy) more than my real pic, and I treated them like a complete gentleman. They didn't want to have nothing to do with my real profile/pic. The "good looking" guy that made lots of money and treated them like c**p was getting all sorts of attention, doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 1

Hey Man,

You're absolutely right. However, there are many girls out there who most likely are the total opposite of the girls you mentioned. It takes take. I'm basically in your same position. I'm not a bad looking guy, I have a lot to offer, but I am super short (5'4) and how many girls like short guys like that? Not a lot. So right off the bat, you have an advantage being taller than that (if you are).

I've tried all dating sites (free and paid) and by far, my favorite is http://www-TheSinglesNet.com - they have the most members of any dating site. Why I like it is because of the vast array of people on there. Meaning, you'll have more people in your area around your age, more profile views, more contacts, more dates, and ultimately a better chance of meeting someone special.

If you're a nice guy, say it. For me, I don't say "I'm a nice guy, looking for a date, message me" I pour my heart out. I say things like "I'm the nicest guy in the world. I care about the person I'm with SO much and relationships are the most important thing in my life. I love cuddling, holding hands, romantic walks"

Just stuff like that - you can word it your own way. How do you think ugly guys get hot chicks? They're either extremely funny and make them laugh, or they're the nicest guys in the world and it makes women's hearts crumble and tears to their eyes.

Trust me man, I'm not "good looking", but my ex of over a year from that site is like a model. Seriously.

Good luck and hope that helps!

I haven't had much luck either, but I have to agree with you. When you look over what some of these women want out of a man, it has alot to do with money and looks. Strange world, Huh??

Answer 4

I'm sure you are not a bad looking bad guy, and you do have a lot to offer.  If you think about it, that's what is good about dating sites.  You can just cut to the chase.  Why would you want to be involved with people like that who aren't good enough for you anyways?

Decide what you want in a person.  Let these women who are chasing model-like men keep chasing them, you don't want women like that anyways, good to get rid of them.

You will find someone on a dating site, I am certain.  I have a lot of great friends who have met their matches on dating sites.  I can recommend a great one if you want to register on it for free.  I will provide the link for you below.

Just keep at it.  You say you aren't looking for a wife.  My friend got married two weeks ago to a great guy that she met on a dating site a couple of years ago.....She was tired of the bar scene, etc. so she gave it a shot.

I have faith that you will find who you are looking for, just keep at it.  Have fun with it!

I used a few of these sites 2 or 3 years ago and met a few nice girls. Some women don't like you to be too much of a gentleman anyway. Try talking the way you did when the other pic was up maybe but just be yourself. Some of the best sites are reviewed at http://thebest-datingsites.com I found loopylove to be really good
