They've been married for six years and have two kids now. tbh, it's the way I prefer as well, but sometimes work schedules make it so difficult. Like, my g/f and I would never have crossed paths otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Maybe all you alphas who only talk to women in person could use a dating site to maybe expand your circle and meet even more women unless of course you're swimming in so much pussy you couldn't possibly handle any more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communication is like 90% non-verbal so I personally don't equate texting and chatting through a screen with talking to someone in person.

Of course it's not, but it lets you meet a lot of people you wouldn't have otherwise so I don't really see why you'd rule it out before even trying it.

Because it's not for ME maybe? I meet plenty of people all the time... met my last girlfriend at a bar. I saw her walk in, thought she was cute, struck up a conversation and we ended up dating for a couple of years. I've NEVER had a hard time meeting people and the whole online thing doesn't have a lot of appeal FOR ME. I have another friend who is like the online dating expert. The guy goes out on maybe two or three dates a week and he honestly has it down to a science but it honestly seems like more work than just going out and meeting people. Kudos for those that find success on it though. As I said, I know people who have gotten married off of online dating. Maybe my tune will change... I've been single again for a couple of months so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never eaten shit before either but I have a pretty good idea that it's not for me either... no knock against those that enjoy it though I mean that's probably an extreme example but I don't think someone needs to try something that they KNOW doesn't suit their personality or lifestyle to determine whether or not it's for them especially when they have the experiences of others they are close to to make an informed judgment. I don't think that's unreasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that and a lot of people are shy like that. I'm not. And while I didn't just "walk up to her and ask her out", I struck up a conversation, got a good vibe and THEN asked her out. Couple of days later we had a great first "date" and then ended up together. Every woman I've ever dated it was because I met them out there in the real world.

Eggman76 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Does chaturbate count? Too scared to link up with hookers in real life and not good enough at adulting to care about long term relationships yet (though I just started dating someone this week so we'll see what happens), and what's the point of gawking at porn or leaks when you can have some interaction with a real person? Plus those chats are always filled with enough hopeless fuckboys that its easy to stand out among them and avoid paying if you're capable of emotional connection.

I mean no one can read minds, but you can definitely determine if there's chemistry or not there fairly early. Do you have a lot of female friends? They're invaluable sources of info But to your original question, from what I've seen with my friends, online dating is a perfectly viable way to meet people ESPECIALLY if you don't have a lot of time, are in an area where meeting people is tough, or are shy. The reputable ones are NOT scams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly small talk when we talk and that only happens when we get together for special events. Most of my friends have families and busy with work so i wouldn't want to bother them.

Guest Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 No, I met my wife at church when she was in high school and I was in junior high, and we started dating 5 years after we first met, got married a little less than a year after we started dating, and will hit our 15 year wedding anniversary next Wednesday. I know lots of people who have had good luck with short term relationships via online dating, but only a couple who have had success long term. But I suppose that holds true for “traditional” ways of meeting folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
