The Worst Places Online to Meet Women (Part 2 – Why Dating Sites Suck )
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007If you read part one you will know that I feel the worst places to meet women online are adult dating/sex sites. Right above them being the second worst places to meet women online are traditional dating sites. Yes that’s right the 2nd worst place I have found to meet women online are traditional dating sites.
I have tried several Match.com, Yahoo Personals, American Singles. I did not have much success on any of those and I’ll tell you why.
Why Dating Sites Suck:
They cost money. That’s right why do I want to spend the money to meet women online when I can do it for free? Especially when the place that is charging is not the best place to meet women online.
There are not that many attractive women on them. The women on dating sites tend not to be as attractive. They are older, heavier and not all that hot for the most part. Sure there are some cute girls on there and half of them are fake profiles set up by marketers and you want me to pay for that? I have yet to see any woman on an Eharmony commercial that I would ever want to date.
Many of the women on these sites are the walking wounded. They have been hurt and are looking for the man of their dreams. Too much hassle and too much baggage to deal with.
Just being on a dating site makes you less attractive. When a woman sees you on a dating site you are already less attractive to her just because you are on a dating site ( even though she is also on there too, you can’t reason with the part of a woman that makes her attracted to you.) The reason for this is that women like men that are not looking for sex or a relationship for the most part. The fact you are in there looking in the first place works against you it turns her off on a subconscious level and even on a conscious level she is thinking if he is so great why is he on here?
She is being bombarded by other men’s e-mails. Men out number women on dating sites and it’s even worse if she is attractive. Her mailbox is full and it might take a while for her to get back to you
Too Censored & Restrictive. On dating sites they censor everything way to much, you can’t be yourself. You can’t use expletives such as “Fuck”, “Shit”, “Cock”, “Bitch”, “Pussy” etc… That’s fine if you don’t use that language, but if you do like I do it limits your freedom of expression. You can’t post blogs that show your personality. You are limited to filling out their little survey and being a nice guy, you can’t be edgy or cool.
Remember women like bad boys, NOT nice guys (no matter what they say) and dating sites force you to present an image of a nice guy and it works against you.
This is the number one reason why I have never had good success on a dating site. Women contact me all day long and tell me how much they like my profile, my blog, my pics. All of which would not be allowed on a dating site.
For example my main profile picture that I previously used (which got me laid many times) was rejected by every dating site I tried. So I said screw this I am done with dating sites I’ll stay with what is FREE and works for me. So the second worse place to meet women online is on dating sites!
Now if you are in your 40’s 50’s and looking to meet a women not based on looks like the people on the Eharmony commercials you might have some success on traditional dating sites, but if your in the 18 – 35 range I would say don’t make them your main focus or stay away all together as there are much better places online to meet women which I will tell you about in my next blog entry.
