No you don't have to be Brad Pitt, but seriously I'm not attracted to you in the least physically it's not gonna work. The one guy who actually looked dateable on there, well turned out he just wanted a hookup and wanted me to come over that day. Ugh, dude c'mon use tinder for that, you're only 20!! I deleted POF because there wasn't too many guys my age who were actually dateable on there. I still have tinder though but it's hard because most guys just want a hookup...:(iwillsucceed0444 wrote: »Well I'm a 19 year old female.

Amen. There shouldn't be judging in the first place. Who are we to judge. I don't like when girls are quick to judge after they've been hurt many times before. Why are the good guys always put on the back burner?0 -

It feels lousy to be rated on the lower end of the scale of attractiveness, sure. But it also feels lousy to be out of shape and overweight. For most people, this stuff is within their own control. There's a lot one can do to get better looking.
And I agree with you that a guy who himself is no specimen of gorgeousness should probably shut up about my fat thighs.
But a good looking guy who is really fit and built is probably going to screen out women who don't fall into the same category and I can understand and accept that.
I agree. The 2nd paragraph is what I'm referring to.0 -
So I have been on almost every single dating website that has ever been created. The ones that are free, the ones that you pay for, the ones that are literally just for hook ups (POF and Tinder) and ones that seem could potentially be for long term (Match) and I seem to find the exact same thing: guys talk to you for about 2 minutes and then it's, can I have your number, can I have your e-mail address, etc. I'm sorry, but I am not giving you my number after exchanging 3 messages (literally 3, over the course of 10 minutes) with you.
The best though are the guys who jump straight into sexual conversations (POF and Tinder are the best examples, which in my defense, I didn't really know too much about them at first, so I didn't know that's what they were all about), and want nothing more than a hook up.
I had one guy who told me I had beautiful eyes and a great profile and that I was the type of girl he was looking for (this was on Match.com) and literally within 2 days of e-mailing back and forth, asked me if I liked a guy going down on me and when were we going to have sex.
REALLY??? That conversation was quickly ended and deleted.0 -

Um... POF and tinder are just different styles of the same thing. I'd suggest using a site you pay for. At least then, the cheap people are weeded out.0 -

I've never had success on POF or okcupid. I didn't even try tinder because I am sure it's completely superficial. Which is cool if that's your thing just know it's not mine. I agree with Verykatie. You get what you put into it. And a paying profile seems to be our best choice. I always tend to never get a response. Which sucks because it tears at your inner confidence. I would accept it if I was creepy but last time I checked saying things like, "hey there how was the weekend"? On a Monday wasn't a creeper like tendency. That's ok though we will find success somewhere haha just have to find the right way about it.0 -

I completely agree with the above statement. I said in an earlier post that I didn't really understand what Tinder and POF were all about until I signed up for them and were on there for a while. I figured it out very quickly!
Kind of a random question, but @iwillsucceed0444 - why are you on an online dating site at 19? I'm sure there are plenty of places you go that you could meet someone. What about school or work or something? You have plenty of time to find someone, you don't need to do the online dating thing.

WOW! I haven't heard or seen that one yet! But I would report it to Match.com as inappropriate messaging. They'll get kicked off in a second!0 -
I tend to attract guys in their 20's on dating sites. Those are the ones that are most amusing and like to talk sex right out of the gate.0

When I used to play World of Warcraft for hours upon hours, I always got along with one of my guild members who I'd go on raids with. The screen-name was somewhat "ambiguous" you could say -- something like RogueFlash1989.
At a BBQ meetup with all of the other guild members, it turned out "Rogue-y" (as she was nicknamed) was this really cute, petite, sweet girl from San Diego. She hardly spoke on the mic, if at all, while we were playing the games, and everyone just assumed that Rogue-y was a dude. Most of the communication was done through typing/text messages on the board anyway.
But yeah, after that meetup day, we ended up talking more and more and eventually dated for over a year.
That's my online dating story. Lol.0 -

Yeah this one guy contacted my sister and invited her to some relationship forum at his house with other couples (mind you he is not in a relationship but he is giving relationship advice) She of course said "No" he offered to come pick her up at her house! He never got to know her, never asked any questions about her. So her girlfriends were saying that he was trying to recruit for swinging. They start off by asking relationship questions at this forum then they move to sexual talk and then they see how far you would go if you ever tried this or that and would you be interested in trying. Thank goodness she didnt fall for it. That is scary to me.

I stopped using all of them a few months ago. My female friends set up a couple of profiles for me on different dating sites, and even chatted some girls up for me using my account.
My first date was set up, we texted back and forth. Had an evening planned. Eventually the girl just told me to come over instead. I thought wow this is easy and a great confidence builder.
Then a string of bad dates, like meeting a girl who weighed 100+lbs more than what she did in her profile pic, pics obviously taken years ago, looking nothing like their pics, lying about their age (up and down).
My worst was a very beautiful, fit, successful business woman. Our dates started off incredible. She was deep, thoughtful and amazing. On the 5th date things went to hell. She had started to talk to her best male friend that was undermining me, and I found out that when she drank she would forget everything she said. When I asked her what the hell was going on with this stuff she left me at the restaurant (she insisted on driving) about 40 miles from home. When I started to try and get home, she pulled up and begged me to stay with her. She then proceeded to seduce and antagonize me to argue throughout the night. when I got home I deleted her pics and number. For the next 2 months she stalked, begged, and when she harassed me enough to talk, she would say she was breaking up with me. I was actually scared of that psycho0
