Been asked and answered a few times, LoL.
After you sift through the bullshit and the fake profiles, there are some legit women looking for someone to spend time with... I've had success on POF and Ashley Madison, but POF has a much higher rate of success... (in my case at least).
I have a few FB's that I met on these sites and continue to see them now.
Be patient, be sincere, and don't be a douche bag, and you cany do ok.
Best of luck to you.

Tried Ashley Madison back in 2004...11 years later we're still together. Who knew we would fall for each other but we still can't let our spouses find out.
Don't waste your time. The exact same (ordinary) women you see when you are walking around on the street are on the women you will connect to on these sites (the real members, as opposed to the paid shills most of these sites employ).
Most people on these sites try to appear much more attractive than they really are. It will cost you time and/or money to discover this.
There are no shortcuts to meeting someone who would be worthwhile to date. Online dating sites try to appeal to the laziness in people, pretending that online dating would be easier/more time efficient, but it's not.
It's always been the same old formula that works. Be honest with yourself about who you are. Find some self confidence. Learn from mistakes (about how to present yourself). Most people in this world, no matter how little "game" they have, get at least one shot at finding someone to connect to in their life. No reason why the OP should be any different. That shows you that that the old school methods work.
If you just want to get laid, it's far cheaper and time efficient to hire an SP.

Here my answers below
Plenty of Fish = Met girls that I hooked up. Plenty of Fish is kind of like a online bar. People tend to be less serious there since its a free site.
Lavalife = Had a long terms relationship from that for 5.5 years. Plus met a bunch of girls from hookups. However the site is not what it used to be from years ago. But generally I find paid sites girls are more serious (If you are looking for something more serious)
Quest = Haven't Tried
Tinder = Mainly known as a hook up app. I've dated a number of girls off Tinder. I like it because its easy, literally can just swipe swipe when I'm bored and have some easy banter on the spot. Doesn't work for everyone though if you don't have a good pic and not good and texting banter. Since pretty much all that is seen first the superficial level of your picture if you're hot or not.
Match.com is a good site though if you want something serious. Met one of my girlfriends which I dated for a year which we had allot in common in regards to fitness and working out. Again being a paid site I find people there more serious.
fetlife.com is also good if your more into Fetish and Kink stuff. Although its focus is moreso on going to BDSM events.

Online dating in general is good because you tend to meet girls you wouldn't otherwise meet in a bar or club. And also know something about them and their common interest. The real drawback is its slow pace along with sometimes pictures are not what you see is what you get. However you get better at vetting the accuracy of pictures before hand and get a better radar for that with experience.

I've had success on POF and OKCupid. Haven't tried the others. Like the others have said, it takes some time and you do have to sort through the crazies. They are plentiful online.
It depends on how you calculate it. A girlfriend who lets you have bbfs for hours? That would cost you an arm and a leg with an SP - gf wins. An ex wife that takes tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars from you? SP is cheaper.
SPs are way more efficient and usually when it comes to sex in my opinion without any of the drama of regular dating. For companionship of course getting a girlfriends is where its at. Also for self development its good to always go out and date and make yourself the best version of yourself. So it all makes sense depending on what you want in life.
Adult friend finder great for hook ups.....

I got laid using PoF. Also started dating someone seriously using it as well.
I've probably had my greatest success using OKC. Met a couple girls where it seemed like it stood a chance of going somewhere. Also got a blowjob from one of the girls I went on a date with as well.

Tinder for sure can be a hard game if you don't have a good profile picture which captures her eye. As that is all that you have to start off with. And you have to both like each others pic to get into convo mode. However other online dating sites you can start with an opening message. And your opening message for sure can make a difference and make you stand out from others.
It's the only way I've ever gotten laid with a civvy, and I STILL think it's a huge waste of time. Even in my prime, it would take me roughly 40 hours of work to fuck a new girl from it. And they never wanted to see me again after the first date (because they have infinite options), so it was always back to square one regardless of how well we seemed to click.
Do you look like a 22 year old Calvin Klein model, live downtown, and have a ton of free time? Are you into bbw's? Then sure, online dating might be for you.

Good discussion
Many of the sites have fake messages sent to you by blots.
Some of us like myself have zero interest in bars or clubs, just not that outgoing or wanting to waste time.
Especially perhaps harder for us "elders" who have little or no physical interest in women close to our age? I am spoiled by decades of meeting SP, which seems to be far less costly and far more efficient. However, perhaps, some of us would like to find a real long-term relationship that is more than just sexual.
I've dated SP - who wanted to meet me "off the clock", I never suggest it. I have no problem supporting emotionally a sex worker - no jealousy, etc. issues that often are an issue. However, so far all of these relationships have not worked out with them having other issues such as financial, drinking or drugs. I simply do not want to deal with anyone that does drugs.
One of the best real relationships I had was in Canada years ago even with my brief travels. One in Victoria B.C. and another in Hamilton Ont. There was/is a rule at Hamilton Strip that unaccompanied women were not allowed (which seems odd). I accompanied one who was a friend and wow did she have fun interacting with dancers even on stage. (She was bi, which I also have no issues with).
Shortly staying briefly in Niagara before longer stay in Mississauga. Going to the Dinner Theater on Lundy Ln to see "Oh Canada" would be nice to go with women, but not going to pay any SP just for the company.
Ironically haven't tried much in Phoenix - always seem too busy with business - so enjoy breaks to Ontario.

I find Tinder to be successful; and the guys I meet feel the same.
The guys I match with aren't those model-ish types that have all the girls messaging them; they're nerdy artsy Asian guys with glasses that by most people's standard aren't "hot." I find them to be A++ because they're my type thoughMoral of that story is that even if you aren't a mega looker, just write a cool bio and have some complementary pics and you should be fine.
And I also find that it works for any type of dating.
I have met people who became hookups, friends, business contacts, party-goers, let's-go-do-our-mutual-hobbies-together types, casual dating, and even serious dating
It operates on the principle of first impressions; just like meeting people in real life.
I give it an A+
However, based on some articles I have read; it is not so successful for the 38+ crowd as it is more of a youth site.
Head to POF for hookups and Match for serious stuff; if you are older than your late thirties.
I would agree here that Tinder is definetely more a younger person app...at least for now... Which one reasons I sometimes prefer bars and club. Since as my age increases my value decreases online. However I do look allot younger than I am and get mistaken for my mid twenties. So that's never an issue if I meet at a bar even if I tell them my age and they've met met in person and know age is just a number. Online they might write me off.
But facebook used to be a younger person college hangout place. Then expanded to all ages. So might just be a matterof time.
