I met my lovely wife @eatpolerepeat here on MFP. 😘
I also met my side piece @Minion_training_program here on MFP.
I’m sorry some of you are having so much trouble with online dating. I found it very easy. I just saw the ones I wanted and declared them mine. 😁5 -

See kids? I got a wife, a side piece, and yet the ladies keep throwing themselves at me.
Might I suggest changing your dating profile pics to that of a sloth? Bonus if it has its own stuffed animal. 😁4 -

I don't know why anyone would feel pressured to be the perfect man. It's a two way street, spend time with someone and if you both like each other you do it again till it either works or doesn't work. ONS must be a young guy thing, I'm in my 30's now and would rather find someone i can do fun *kitten* with.
You'd think. A guy I spent way too long talking to before asking what he was looking for said he was just there for hookups. He was 36. I ask sooner now.2 -

I can only input that if I met my husband and most of the most AMAZING people I've ever met online (not on dating sites or apps, mind you), there is hope for anyone. Trust me.
My question to those of you using these websites and apps: Have you ever considered just kicking back, taking it easy and getting to know people online outside of a site built for dating/hookups? You know, building a relationship/friendship with someone and then seeing what happens?
Just a thought.
Of course I have considered it. I don’t know about others. But, dating is different now. Men rarely approach women in public. I won’t date a man from work and all my friends are married.
Im a very active person and have hobbies and things, but If I just waited and hoped some guy would randomly ask me out, I might be waiting years.

SO didn't approach me online, I approached and pursued him. We had a long term friendship (despite my obvious crush) for close to a decade before he turned around one day and asked to meet up with and eventually pursue a relationship.
And we originally became acquainted through a gaming/comics website (no longer around, sadly). Kinda just followed one another around online for years to keep in touch and reconnected when able. I don't think I ever thought about just "waiting around" for a dude to ask me out.. because yeesh, I'd be dead probably.
Also, I think despite the bravado a lot of guys have, many of them are quite nervous/anxious about asking a woman they like for their number or more information for fear of being accused of assault/harassment/etc. We live in strange times.2 -

I’m glad it worked out for you. I do know people who met their SO or husband at work or something. Most of my friends who are now married met their SO online.
I don’t approach men and tbh the types of men who usually approach me are the player type. No thanks. Also, I don’t have years to wait and build a friendship first.

Well, maybe not a friendship (unless that's what you mutually want with a person), but taking time to really get to know whether the person is worth your time and energy on a site not strictly intended for dating. I feel like you would encounter less player/desperate types outside of a dating/hookup site than you would on one since the culture on those sites kinda fosters that type of attitude from a large percentage of its users.
Also, for those of you who utilize Tinder... can you please explain to me why there is a weird obsession with butt stuff on that app? What about "I want a meaningful connection with someone" or "I want to get some coffee sometime" screams "I love butt sex!"??
I don't get it.2 -
I’m definitely not into butt stuff. Just coffee and adult conversation that’s all.4

Look sometimes you have some groceries that need to be ate and then there's tinder to the rescue. Better than grub hub.1

Why not put yourself out there if you want to meet people is the thing though? Men don’t approach me IRL so if I just relied on that then I wouldnt meet anyone. The rare guy that does approach me out and about is the total player type, so what you’re saying doesn’t work for me or some others. I know I’m not the only one with this issue.

... have you ever wondered why men don't approach you IRL? Do you think they find you too intimidating? Is it a thing with where you live, perhaps? Just brainstorming.
I mean, no one approaches me IRL (man or woman), but I always assumed it was because I was unattractive, uninteresting to random strangers and had resting *kitten* face, so... **shrugs** It's mostly always been that way. I think college *might* have been different because we were all forced in the same spaces for numerous hours a day or even had to live in the same spaces, so it just made sense. Once freed into the "real world", that wasn't the case anymore and we all realized how lonely the world could be (and is).
Oops, now I'm rambling, sorry.
