Cranky_Geezer: Here's the thing, online dating is actually an oxymoron. You meet people and network online. Dating happens in the real world. At least it did when the world made sense.
It's so easy to be out with my friends & to be approached to dance or just have conversations with plenty of laughs..You get a real feel of ones personality face to face.

6miler: Online dating. I am 20 years at it, yes since 2000, on and off. Various sites, Match, POF, Anotherfriend.com, etc. I have met women, but things haven’t worked out.
I've been through 4 dating agencies, and about ten different Speed dating events.
So, at my age now, it looks like the bachelor single life. Covid & lockdown are not helping.
Thanks Jim
Never give up is the main thing, you seem to be a nice guy like myself, maybe that's where we are going wrong haha. Lock down is surely not helping things

That's it I believe its easier of a woman to be approached by a man, but in my experience they shut down and dont want to even talk. Same hear, I'm hear a few weeks not one woman messaged me for a chat, I know it up to the man usually to make the first move but I get disheartened with no replys

Butterflygirl1: I wouldn’t have the confidence to ask someone out so I know it’s not easy and you will get a few knock backs we all do but will be worth it when you meet the right person

Maybe look at some of the meet up groups in your area also a good start to have shared interest

I think women have far more options online and it's just a case of choosing the right man...but many can't even do thisdoh

Why is it so many men online and so few women?
I spoke to a good number of women in nursing and figured out...all they wanted was conversation...while they were on their shifts and not looking to date at all....other are just around to ego boost and search for Mr perfect...others are scammers...others are mentally damaged on drugs with drink problems etc...but maybe some might be decentconfused

For some people it does.
I actually know a few couples who met here and have made it work, in spite of the distance.

I have also been to a few sites, and also find not many of them seem to work. But at least you know they (the real people) are the ones looking. Trying to find someone by the old ways (before dating sites), going to a place and asking random strangers, most are not looking. They already have someone.

I, myself have been on a few dates with women, but this was thru a picture dating site, not the online date sites. They charged a huge fee, and let you pick someone from the many profiles at their office, or they picked them for you based on questions you answered, but never got it right on their guess. Once I made the transition, I never met anyone online. Too many fake profiles these days, its not easy knowing who is real. My guess is, if they chat alot on the date site, they are most likely real, but are here more for the social aspect.
