For those that just started using online dating, it actually used to be a viable way to meet women (prior to 2015). But now the algorithm is against your favor. Old OkCupid was set up really well, but ever since they made changes to their site, it's now far worse. Don't know why OkCupid thought it was a good idea to try copying tinder, but now all on my dating sites are the same and they all are not effective. If you can't meet women in person, you're basically screwed.

Or maybe people on those apps just have better options now.

You're the type to blame all your own failings on everyone else, I can already tell. When are you going to grow up?

Why did I have way more success prior to 2015 then? Why is it that, I suddenly have far less success after OkCupid makes a big update.

Grindr works just fine, though I wouldn't say I use it for "dating."

Well certainly not from conventional dating.

Of course, I'm not really looking for love or LTRs at the moment.

I'm Mr. Right now for alot of people and right now I'm fine with it.

Sounds like TC is one of those 'swipes right on literally everyone' type of people.

Im so glad I didnt grow up in the era of online dating. Remember talking to a girl on the phone and you had absolutely no idea what she looked like until you meet her? This was back when dating actually forced you out of the house to go have a life. You want to meet a girl? You better put the Nintendo in the closet and get your ass to the skating rink! Some dude you dont know is having a party three towns over? Well if you plan on talking to a girl then you better gas up the car.

That isnt works, and it never worked that way. Go ahead, try going to a skating rink and talk to a random woman, let me know how it goes.

Well if you're trying to get into it now, it's certainly not going to be ideal during this pandemic.

I've never had success with it. Tried both the OkCupid and Tinder on and off for about 3 years.

I don't have any issues matching with people, but it never progresses further than that. I try to find something unique in their bio to mention or ask about, but get ignored. The few responses I did get were just one off messages that I struggled to further the conversation with.

In the end, I gave up after I actually did manage to meet someone. Though, we hadn't agreed to meet, and she sort of stalked me a bit. She took my photos and showed them around to her friends until one identified me, then she found me on Facebook and figured out my job. Then based on when I was available to text her also figured out my work schedule and just started showing up. It unsurprisingly led to nothing also, some of you probably remember me asking for advice. The whole situation eventually just grew worse until we just stopped talking.

I have nothing to offer to this topic other than I matched with the woman I'm dating in the early days of the pandemic.

im not a super attractive white guy and Ive never had trouble with online dating

Also its changed because of all the unsolicited dick pics women get. So blame the pervs for that one

Top 20% (looks) of dudes get like 90% of the swipes. It's a system where you can't win unless you're a chad.

If you don't mind settling for something you're not really attracted to but hey, it's the best that you can get, then it's fine.
