I gave up on online dating. Most women on there are the same...I just don't connect much with today's generation. I wouldn't mind dating since in their 40s or 50s since I'm 35. I relate to those people more instead of my generation or younger stuck into social media and wanting a bunch of stuff.

yeah i wonder if it's the nature of online dating that makes everyone come off kinda samey. everyone is looking for similar things so it kinda makes sense

All my relationships including my ex wife I met off POF. Now that I live in a small town my options are very limited unless I drive like over an hour away. Many don't want that. And it's funny to see some who I did message after a few months come back online saying they still can't find someone nice. Sad...lmao.

Who knows, maybe the virus can be what helps you get lucky. But probably not, lotta people just on tinder to fuck around at this point.

More or less to try and find myself. I was serial dating and kept getting myself into s*** relationships. I figured I needed a significant amount of time to work things out so here I am.

Im also trying to workout my porn addiction, which is going as well as you could think. Ill get a 14-21 day streak going then Ill fall off the wagon for days on end.

but also i can imagine that dating has taken a backseat during lockdown, esp when you can't meet in person and video calls aren't a great way to judge chemistry

Yeah I'm very much an in person connector, can't do it just though text. Never tried video calling but I'd be open for it. It's just getting to that step that I usually can't do, a lot of the times it's laziness lol

If I had some decent pics I'd probably hope on tinder just to see what's up... but last time I got like 3 matches in like two weeks and one convos where I just got nervous and stopped talking, lol

I really just do it simply. I copy paste hey girl heyyy to profiles of cute girls and actually get responses. Not from all the girls of course, but some. And then just ask them about themselves. Thats a way to start a conversation. But a lot of them will actually respond to the hey girl heyyy with like hey boy heyyy or some bullshit. Its just a line to get in the door thats different than a lot of guys.

I'm just swiping and matching but the whole game is so fucking demoralizing going through the agony of one-sided conversations, it just ain't worth it anymore.

I probably really don't care much in looking for any connections that are beyond FWBs.

Where should I start with online dating?
First you need to answer 500 questions on okcupid

After that you should try to make at least 10% of those questions into tried and true conversation starters

Now that you can start a conversation, you meed to worry about your looks and personality, so take some pictures that capture how your personality is, which should be reflected in the pictures you take as well

You should be ready to start swiping. Make your first swipe profile and swipe on as many people as you can at first, to get a good idea of what your batting average is and also your league. You can use this to work on your conversation cues as well

When you've got a ballpark of the scenes, make the same profile on as many sites as you want. Swipe on the people you actually want to match with

Now you should be ready to start setting up dates. Remember, this has to come before gf because you meed to know how you transition from online to in person. If you jump straight into a relationship without dating other people, you're gonna end up spending time with someone you barely know

That's just getting started though, my advice is perfect
