Personally I haven't had luck with online dating. The guy never looks like his picture in person. Plus, they always have a speech about liking them for their personality. Personality is important but so is mutual attraction. Not fair if you chose me out of attraction and I just have to settle for you because you are a nice guy...c'mon...geesh. That is what friends are for, but guys don't want to hear the friends line...oh well.0

You didn't do it right. You have to downgrade a guy on the website by at least two points (a 10 in your estimation is an 8 in real life). Downgrade even more if you don't have a full body pic from a distance, preferably with form fitting clothes. Downgrade even more if they don't have the forementioned full body pic and a close up pic of the face with a full smile. Very rare to find a male 10 on an online dating site. They could walk into a bar and walk out ten minutes later with someone. If you see a guy that looks like a ten on an online dating sight, most likely he's either catfishing or there is something wrong with him pesonality wise or mentally. When I was on Tinder, I checked out the competition and I was properly horrified. Ladies, you have my sympathies.2 -

If he's over 40 and you're not 40
Red flag haha0 -
I'm actually still with my boyfriend of 3.5 years, we met on plenty of fish. There are tons of success stories but I am still of the opinion that online dating can be too rushed and things move too quickly but that's just my opinion0

Online dating is kind of like going through a McDonald's drive through. A very large menu, plenty of options, but a good likelihood that you won't actually get what you think you're ordering.2

Very true. In my situation, when they are good looking, something is disturbingly wrong with them (looking for another mother, old guy looking for a naive young girl, ultra kinky, or just plain crazy). I applaud the ones who had luck with it though but maybe its not for everyone. I get ridiculed by some of my girlfriends for even dating online...wish I could have proven them wrong...oh well. c'est la vie

Many non-whites have a harder time with online dating. The most desirable men are, in this order:
White
Hispanic/Latin
Middle Eastern
Black
Asian
For women, it's:
White
Hispanic/Latin
Asian
Middle Eastern
Black
It is what it is, but there's always the outliers in any situation. I found that online dating sites, like OKCupid, Match and more of the high profile sites like EHarmony and the like are more this way than sites like Plenty Of Fish and Tinder. I wonder if it's because the latter is used more for quick hook ups or quick dates while the former are styled towards people looking for long-term relationships?0 -
