Plentyoffish. I have been so done with that one for about 2 years now. Especially when they started making their formerly free features paid ones.

Plentyoffish's website was amazing up until 2012, I mean amazing, real girls, solid looking ones and plenty of them. Now it's pay to play and all that shit, so I never even tried it.
My buddy swears by Match and Bumble though, he's met a couple on there.

I prefer another dating site. This site for mature personals https://www.lonels.com/mature-singles.html was recommended by a friend, and I can see why. The signup process was smooth, and within days I had genuine conversations with people nearby. I felt like the site actually cared about matching me with compatible personalities. What surprised me most was how respectful and friendly everyone was. It created a space where I could relax and just be myself. Meeting new people here felt exciting instead of stressful.

Me too. I have 100% success rate with the TERB dating site. Less expensive too!

A lot of the women I seen on POF search around 2019 and 2020 most are still on the platform today. Online dating seems to be the leftovers that nobody really wants and such. I've met a few mostly off POF in the past 20 years for dates and easy hook ups.

Yup

 

[BigRed77]

I'm shocked!! I wonder why? LOL How they lasted this long?

I never had much luck on dating sites either. To many games played.

Imagine this!

Mistakenly identified the blind date partner，But they all got along very well.Strange Coincidence

They were chatting and getting along splendidly, but when he turned his head, he saw that his actual blind date was having a lively conversation with another...

They’ve always been garbage all of them and men really don’t have any advantage there

Yeah but there's no app.

 

[SchlongConery]

Yeah but there's no app.

TERB is the online 'app' with the highest 98% success rate for getting laid on every date for less than the price of dinner and drinks. You get to date and have sex with girls wayyyy out of your league!

Do I have to spell it out any clearer?

 

[Jubee]

Because of bots and AI garbage now.
Dating sites before apps were amazing though, especially plentyoffish, damn that was a good one.

You nailed it with this excellent quote. Any single woman under 35 that’s at least a 7.5 with no kids, doesn’t need an app to get dates.

What happened with the dating apps is that the number of new male accounts has been steadily decreasing year over year. Men are their bread and butter - because they pay. Women don’t need to pay because they don’t need to swipe endlessly to get a match. Actually the problem with women is that they get so many matches they just give up [and close their account] because it takes too much time to determine which match is worth talking to. Basically it’s like dumpster diving.

It has taken a while but it has become common knowledge that the odds of a guy meeting anything about a 7 [with no kids] on the apps is near impossible - so guys aren’t even thinking about signing up now. And another disincentive is that women that do agree to a date want a dinner date as the first date. [Yah, smells like a sugar daddy date.]

I don’t think these men are approaching women IRL as their alternative. I think we are experiencing men going the same way as South Korean and Japanese men - they are just leaving the dating market to pursue other things that are less frustrating and more rewarding.

North American live birth rates are going to decrease even further. Certainly doesn’t help population growth when each year in the US there are about 1 million abortions [for convenience reasons]. Yup, for real.

It is like the lottery. More likely to be struck by lightning?

Best were the telepersonal voice and early web based dating sites.

Best were the telepersonal voice and early web based dating sites.

I know someone who found his future wife on Telepersonals. There was also Lavalife, Quest, Livelinks, etc. Some of these may still exist for voice phone chat. Not sure.
There was also the match maker called Together.
I have not bothered with any of this stuff for years. I do like to watch Match Me Abroad on TLC though.

for me it's the music and trying to guess what club they filmed the shots at, I know LimeLight was one for sure.
Someone messed with their ages in the voiceover, don't know why but it's stupid.
