re: Are there any dating sites that truly work?

I’m on FB dating and it’s fine. My expectations on there are low though. Online dating is a hassle and any attractive chick is gonna have to sort through a ton of likes/profiles.

I find a lot of chicks are uncertain and hesitant about meeting up. I understand this but I ain’t got time to message back and forth just to find out your favorite color or something.

I have a rule that if we don’t meet up or have something planned after 2-4 days of talking I’m most likely moving on.

Sounds like a situation where most of the women on the app are just younger.

Not sure on that one. There seemed to be as many 40-50 yr olds as 20-30

If I ever manage to run my wife off, and its a good possibility but so far she has hung in there for 38 years, there ain't no way I will get in a relationship with another woman. I will pay pros to meet my needs but having a conversation with a woman from 25-80 would be excruciating...most women my age are so bitter they make grinch seem festive. No doubt life has made them that way and I am sure there are exceptions but I ain't wading through that morass to find an island of hope....

I figure they’re full of bots and that very few are legit.

So cruel to do that to ppl hoping to find someone.

I’d be down with this line of thinking as well- but again, small town. Not likely to find pros unless I go to ATL

I live in Houston so large population. 90% of the “people” are fake, lie about their age/weight, old pics etc.

With that said I met my wife on Match in 2014 and we’ve been married 7 years and still going strong.

So if you can weather the storm and weed out the bullshite it does work.

But in a town of 9000 people good luck, you probably have to look at a larger city near you.

Find one where users have to provide more than a few sentences about themselves I guess.

I don’t think the swipe left or up or down bullshite based on a highly curated picture and a few words is a good setup. That’s like Twitter or TikTok - they want you using the app, not to actually find someone.

It’s such a crap shoot. Used Match and Tinder for a few years and definitely a mixed bag of goods. You have to learn how to read profiles. If a woman only has face shots or pics from far away she is probably obese. If the pics look old she is also a biggun. If you don’t care about that no big deal. It’s also a numbers game. If you message 10 women you might get 1 or 2 replies. You can increase those odds by making your profile more interesting, they have premium services that build the profile for you. I found if you get a date it usually turns into a few dates. Location is key too. Some cities it’s just more popular and the demographics. Be chill and don’t come off desperate or talk about your ex too much. Try to have fun with it.
