Has anyone actually come across a dating site that actually got you to your end game.....whatever it was? I am just interested in finding out if there are really any sites that are not set up with fake women leading you on until you buy their 1 year subscription to there "Gold" membership. I have browsed the sites, but I just find it hard to believe there are so many women, in my area" that are posting pictures (many nude) that are on these sites.

Who has had success? Who has been scammed? What sites were they?
 
There are apps that let you message EVERY girl on a dating site with one click of a button on your smartphone. Lots of guys are doing that on Tinder, etc.
Think about it. The girls drown in messages. Most are on there for free dinners and attention anyway. Unless you have brad pitt looks, you probably wont have a high batting average.
You probably will have a better shot at just approaching a woman - the risk of rejection prevents men from talking to strangers and you stand out easier.
 
Agreed! Lots of time & frustration saved by just booking service providers. A wife & gf costs a lot more and comes with more baggage & demands most of the time!


Yeah....the trouble is juggling both. I can't afford stuff at this sight often.......but I can't fford not to come periodically......mainly for my sanity
 
I've made lifelong friends and had one long term relationship (ended last year) off of POF. It takes some risk/putting yourself out there, some bad dates, and a whole lot of luck but it can happen.

Except you are a woman. Way different for guys. After seeing these kinds of comments. I can only assume women think guys have it no different than they do in the dating scene.

3 of my female friends met their husbands on POF.
 
I worked with a guy in his late fiddys who got all kinds of action on pof, non stop sex right off the bat. Another guy on tinder who is 30 gets all kinds of responses, very handsome guy though.
 
Think about it for a moment, if women are meeting people off there and having productive relationships, who do you think they are meeting? That is right, MEN! ;) I am letting the OP know there are women out there on those sites who are real.

Check out the ratio of men to women and who has a laundry list of standards. I'd say guys have it a lot tougher on those sites. Even fatties get messages from guys they would normally get no attention from IRL. Its a distorted environment where scarce female members and excess easy male attention bumps every girl up 3 points on the attractiveness scale.

There was a thread on POF a long time ago I put some tips into.I had an insane time on POF about 9 years ago.Most "for free"sex I had had in a 1 year period in my life.Went back on about 2 years ago and my god have the male assholes strip mined that site.Very, Very angry women.Horror stories that would make your toes curl. Alot I chatted with were absolutely jaded compared to my time on there before.
 
Most guys on POF are looking for sex as soon as they meet you…..or they think your an item after a coffee date. I had no luck on that site so i gave up on it .Just because Im a sp doesn't mean I want sex on the first date on POF. What happened to getting to know each other ?

Some guys need sex first to break the ice and establish that comfort. Not all guys but some.
 
Nope. I am 5'4", and have never received even a response to my message, or any unsolicited message. I think women actively screen for height in their search so I don't even show up.

What happens on those sites is that about 20% of the men get 80% of the girls. Which is what happens in countries that allow men to have multiple wives too.

It may be the natural order of the world that a small number of successful/attractive men pair with pretty much all the women. From a genetic standpoint it is a great way to maximize natural selection while taking advantage of all the available wombs.

The internet is a great leveler of bogus social norms. The idea that we are all going to pair off in twos seems likely an artificial construction. In reality a few A list men will get all the girls, and the girls will have to put up with their A list guy straying a lot.
 
It may be the natural order. But for civilization to exist men have to have reason to be productive . they won't have incentive to work if a few men take all the women. Societies in the past were violent and women were routinely kidnapped by rival tribes. In fact rape was another motivator in past tribal raids.
