I guess the only way we can fix this is by adjusting the fucking ratio.

I was browsing guys online for shits and giggles, and omg, the scroll down wouldn't stop! Most definitely over 200.

Girls? Around 40 online at that time.

Logically speaking, it makes more sense to me that a girl would join a dating site rather than a guy, they're the ones always complaining about guys using them for sex. People turn online to steer away from social norms.. Can someone please fix my logic?

with the exception of being in an 8 month relationship, I've been doing online dating for 4 years. Lets see....I met.......3 girls...? :/ maybe talked to 2 others over the phone before they up and vanished..... yea somethings just not working for me.

I remember Deangelo saying online dating is the greatest tool known to mankind, but I'm to the point where I'd rather just work on myself more and get off the fucking computer and go in the real world and start approaching. I've spent TOO MUCH time creating profiles, working on photos, changing them left and right for some results. my results have been zilch! It actually sickens me thinking how much time Ive wasted on it...granted you learn from it, but my biggest luck was when love came knocking on my door (my ex) and she is the one who approached ME...I wasnt anyone but myself.........thats what you call "real" imo. I miss is

anyway. i have a pof profile up since then, and nothing is happening. I think the universe is telling me to talk to my ex or just get out more

oh man :(

I'm sorry to hear about your ex.

I don't know, I guess it all depends on what you're looking for. I'm this close to deleting all my fucking profiles and giving up on this online bullshit. Even girls without photos aren't fucking replying, it's that bad.

Funny thing is, when I was browsing guys, I can confidently say I have it better than most guys on that website, and I'm pretty secure about myself, I just don't know what happened, few months back, I've been getting at least 3 messages a day. These days, it's been a month since I've had a real conversation with someone.

I guess it has to be done. Farewell online world, hello coffee shops, malls, 'fate' if that shit exists anymore.

Holly, I never thought I'd be this fucking pissed over something this stupid.

Click on Viewed me and send;
'You checked me out and did not message me?Not hot enough for you? That’s okay I can take it probably for the best, you are probably a scorpio, nothing but trouble…'

Tried that, you get replies, but she loses interest so fast, and conversation dies out too soon. What I did when I got most replies, and what I still do is emphasize on our shared interests, and ask a couple of questions. Then things go from there.

It's just that they get so many messages that you have to put effort on being funny, creative and witty, and it's like I'm playing a game and competing with everyone else. I have sports for that, I don't need my love life to be a competition thank you.

I was open to the whole internet dating idea, but honestly something needs to be done about the ratio, it's just fucking ridiculous. First thing that has to be done is guys need to refrain from saying stupid shit like, 'oh bb u so sxy, I book hotil room n we fuk' it scares women off. I'm going to end my rant here, or I'll go on forever.

Mine reply rate is 78%. You just have to send message that inspires their interests. And if you catch them looking at your profile but not sending replies, that means you need to go back and fix your profile or pictures.

Sometimes girls checked me out (those that I haven't sent message to) but didn't message me. I used a similar catch phrase as Bravo, but it was twisted a bit to my personality such as "hey you freaking stalker! don't make me send my ninja squad after you!"

I just got back online after breaking up with my gf, and running out of other options to play the field.

On cupid I'm getting at least a 60% reply rate. Same as usual. On zoosk I'm doing fucking awesome! I really, really recommend zoosk, as it is un-tapped by most PUA people.

I'm just sending winks and getting emails, chat requests, facebooks, and numbers on the first contact responses.

Well I'm happy dating websites work for you guys, but I guess it's just not for me. I hate putting the effort and going out of my way to impress someone, I am who I am, and if people like me, they want to be around me. I can't change who I am, and I guess that mentality does not work on dating websites.

I deleted all my profiles, and I'm going to not worry about girls for a while now. Maybe work more on my school, music, increase gym hours, maybe start business projects. They say love finds you when you least expect it, let's see if that theory applies.

for online dating you need a few reasonably nice pictures, a funny profile, and an intriguing opener. the reply rate will usually be low unless you are really really hot (if you are the girls will open you). for this reason, you basically need to open almost every girl to have serious chances.
when you get a response, you can use a few messages to filter girls you would not like to spend time with. you don't like them, you go next. they don't like you, they go next. if you survive the initial interaction, go for the email or (much much much better) number close.
when you have the number, be quick in setting a date. I would say if you do not move to real life within a week, it's bad. of course, there might be good compelling reasons for things to move slower, but usually you want to quickly number close and quickly date. once you are in person, you know what to do.
