If you are a 7 or higher, fit, have a good job and are at least 5' 10" it's like shooting fish in a barrel. And if you're not a right wing wacko. Or at least can hide it.

So that last bit rules out most of F16. (Ha.)

Also if you're going on a trip and can spoof your phone you can set your location for there and do the online apps a day or so ahead of time to warm 'em up. I went to Cayman when single and saved this one. Got a 3 for 1 on this one. I didn't end up going over there because I had been drinking and I met this girl at the hotel barfrom Orlando that night that I actually ended up dating for a year or so. I've always kinda wondered what would have happened if I went over there. Probably nothing. But one can dream.

You probably would have been mugged by a couple of dudes because that seems like a really obvious catfish.

I have a brother that gets this **** all the time. He's the rich bachelor in the neighborhood. He has boobies sent to him all the time. Most of them are married.

Yeah. I was kinda spooked. When something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Plus i was hitting it off with this girl in the bar. Bird in hand is worth three in the bush!

But yeah I've saved this screenshot all these years. I'm that shallow.

And as I said, I finally found a woman way too good for me, realized it and shut it all down immediately.

I was using these apps to try to find my forever person. Not just engage in crazy stuff. I think women can sense that too and it makes you more desirable.

skill issue. as a man the onus is on you to become the kind of person a woman wants to date. that means you gotta drop the gaming and gambling addictions, take care of business in your career, and keep yourself and your home hygienic. i've never met a man who met all of those criteria and still had issues dating.

---

This is the thinking of somebody who is like 70 years old and completely out of touch with the online dating/hookup scene. In most cases, these women don't even know what careers these guys have, whether they play video games, whether they have gambling addictions, or whether their homes are hygienic.

The 10% of men out there who are hooking up with 90% of the women online are just exchanging photos, texting for a few hours or few days, and then meeting for drinks and hooking up. It's based purely on physical appearance, possibly combined with income/wealth if the woman can easily verify it.

There is not even an opportunity in the online world to prove your worth by having a good career, being a good and/or interesting person, having a nice home, and demonstrating a track record of being responsible.

it's tough out there for single men, i get it. i'm in my 30s and my social circles navigated their dating years using the apps. some met their wives there, most met them elsewhere. it wasn't always pretty.

what i do know is the apps are hellholes designed to make everyone miserable. i constantly see men complaining about how much they and the people who use them suck and still use them anyway, as if that isn't the bare minimum they can do to meet a partner.

your competition isn't Fabio on tinder, it's all the other guys in the meat of the bell curve just swiping and hoping for the best. at some point you have to assume some personal responsibility and stop waiting for an algorithm to deliver you a relationship. if that opinion makes me a boomer, so be it.

I would have sworn you were an 80+ single leftist

You were probably joking but I have a friend who is a successful lawyer. A former Navy Jag, successful lawyer , good looking dude, who went through the dating scene until his 50s but never could find someone in the US. He started taking trips overseas to meet women and finally ended up settling down with a Vietnamese woman.

He had always said that women in this country don't respect men. Feminism has created a culture of princesses who think they are owed the world.

And over the last 20 years it's become exponentially worse. That's where i think this is all going. You're going to see men who who plenty worthy of a good woman start looking elsewhere to find partners and meaningful relationships and there will be lot of American women left behind

Awesome, they are doing you a huge favor. Let me save you a ton of wasted years, heart ache and financial ruin: run --don't walk-- away from any person that is interested in "meeting for drinks and hooking up...based purely on physical appearance, possibly combined with income/wealth". Run --don't walk-- away from any person that is not interested in you "[having a] good career, being a good and/or interesting person, having a nice home, and demonstrating a track record of being responsible". The type of woman you describe is a waste of time at best, a hoebag destined to destroy your kids, marriage and bank account more than likely.

Make money, be funny

he did fine, but always said that the caliber of woman he met were entitled, crazy, or both. The online sphere of dating is heavily saturated with these types.

Most Women in this country have no respect for men. be it feminism or being raised by fathers who tell them they are perfect and deserve only perfection, their expectations are out of control.

Here's a secret. we all compromise. I've been married 15 years and while we both love each other, we both accept that neither of us are perfect.

6. Go to church. Know that you are in need of grace and freely recieve God's peace, grace and joy so you can go out and give that to others (in this case a girlfriend -> wife)

---

Just don't bother looking for a girlfriend or wife at church. Church women are some of the worst because they've been raised to believe God has "only the best" planned for them, so a man better be a 10 and either rich, or high income earning potential. Being a good Christian man is meaningless to most church women.

---

Lol. I met my wife at church and so did literally hundreds of couples I know. HFBC. Your description is not accurate. I saw many men outkick their coverage. There were also many pure hearted women that were not focused on earning capacity or physical perfection.

In the old days, every Friday and Saturday night there'd be a western dance at some dancehall. Your meet lots of girls. You'd talk, you'd dance, you got turned down, you got heart by a better looking guy, sometimes you ended you ended up in the parking lot. You married one of them, house, 2.5 kids. Simple.

I have no personal experience with online dating but based on the exposure to it from observing others, I agree with much of what you say. In the situations I am familiar with, the girls didn't give a **** about the guy's career. job, wealth, etc. They were looking to hook up and did. I rent to a guy, he is mid to late 30s, decent looking guy, very outgoing, who was way into online dating. Though calling it dating might be a stretch, online hookup is more like it.

Right after he moved in, I saw this gal hanging around his place, drove a Mercedes, I would guess she was mid 30s, and she was beyond fine. She had the most beautiful hair I've ever seen and a body to die for. I knew little of the renter, figured maybe she was a wife or girlfriend. Talked to her for a bit but didn't pry. I see him about 3 days later and I mentioned having talked to her and that she sure had nice hair. He said "oh, driving a Mercedes?" I said yeah and he said she won't be around long, and that they never are, lol. And she wasn't. Different girls, like two, sometimes three a week. I met many of them. Most seemed decently sane, lol. And all of them were just really good looking.

Then one day he told me he had had a perfect week, and I said in what way. He said 7 different girls in 7 days. I said no way, he said yep. He said he had had a 5 in a week deal before and a 6 in a week. By this time I had known him long enough and had seen the coming and going and I did not doubt him. Then he started working more and he slowed down and now is seeing only one gal.

The other two guys I knew that did online dating were somewhat similar, though nowhere near the volume of girls. They were just looking for someone to hang out with and would, but neither they, nor the girls, were looking for anything permanent.

Though I have not seen it, I am sure there are guys and gals who are both looking for someone to spend the rest of their life with and good for them.

Me either. I got divorced from my first wife in 2008 after 10 years of marriage, I was 33 at the time. It was extremely easy to meet women and get dates for the 2.5 years that I was single. The real issue in Georgia was finding women that didn't already have kids. Once they were 25, forget about it.

I married my 2nd wife 15 years ago in Savannah and we had 2 kids and are still going strong. She was with me when I left law enforcement and went to law school.

I have women that I am certain I could date if I was single around me all the time at work. I watch these young dudes and they have zero idea how to actually talk and flirt with a women in person. It is bizarre.

What's the deal?

I was more mature at 13 than 23 too.

I would make a strong case that I'm in the top-tier of single men.

Modern dating is broken, and I've found that most women either:
a) have zero consideration for traits a good husband and father should have, and why they end up single moms by 30
b) are rude, with lavish, unrealistic expectations
c) dumb and maybe a combo of a&b

I am 50 but still 17. I will always be 17 I suspect.

As someone that is thin and in good shape, the dating scene sucks. Everywhere you look is fat women that don't take care of themselves. Say what you want about me. I'm not going to date a fatass when I work hard to eat right, work out, and take care of myself.

What he said

When I was a dumb 22 year old who didn't know Jesus, I was like the guy in this story and would think stories like this were cool. But reading what you posted just made me sad. That man (and the women) were meant for more than that.

And he's in his mid to late 30s still acting like that makes me sad for him. Not that I'm some saint. But as a now married man, I'm ashamed of my past sleeping with so many women.

I met my second (current) wife online 19 years ago...we've been married 18 years. Mebbe the market has changed, but it was good for me. I guess it depends for what both of you are looking...

---

I'm in the same boat. Wife and I have been together 18 years after meeting online. I don't think things have changed much. It's a numbers game for the men. I was seeing about 5% response rate and about half of those that did were dtf right away. One that wasn't is now my wife.

She was with me. Now I feel used.

Oooooh, sick burn!!!!

I feel for young people and the online dating trap they've been fooled into doing. Hook ups are the order of the day and, while most men seemingly love that, it destroys women. It eventually does to men as well.
So glad neither me or my children ever had to deal with that.
