8. Drunks, druggies, other assorted psychopaths.

The strange thing about the online dating sites I’ve been on is that there are few women who could be considered ugly. (Unless of course, they’re the ones who post a profile but no pic).

Confused? So am I. See points 1, 2, and 3 above for an explanation on why a good-looking woman would feel the need to resort to online dating.

Bottom line: Online dating is a bad deal for men. Guys, your money and time is better invested elsewhere.

157 Responses to Online dating: Great for women, sucks for men

    pofsucks1, you have hit the nail on the head. I’ve just deleted my POF profile after only being on it for three weeks. I sent out 29 emails and, though I did at least manage to get four replies that were positive, out of those 4, there was only one who I would really liked to have met outside of the online world. Unfortunately, after she asked me to complete an online Myers-Brigg assessment, which came up as a personality profile shared by 2% of the population, she informed me that she had met somebody through the site that she found intriguing and preferred only to deal with one guy at a time. Well, fair enough, I thought. So I emailed her telling her that she was somebody I would’ve like to have met offline, told her she had my contact information (I’d given her my phone # and email address) and said that if it didn’t work out, please feel free to contact me.

    Then I thought about all the time I’d spent getting to that stage, and decided that, with my career interest (and believe me, unlike probably at least 3/4 of the population, I HAVE found my life’s calling and do enjoy what I do), my workout schedule at the gym and an activity completely unrelated to work that brings me joy and peace, I simply do not have the time to waste on this site.

    Potential coffee dates with strangers online who I will probably never meet? What’s the point?

    You are right on about the inequitable treatment of men vs. women on the Forum. There is what can only be described as a gang of seriously damaged and extremely childish women that loiter about waiting to pounce on any poster that opposes their views. Considering the views are generally along the lines of delusional self-holiness and categorical man bashing, there is no doubt of a double standard when it comes to policing the dialogue.

    While men are expected to stay on topic and be respectful, it seems that these women can apply ad hominem attacks, off-topic comments, incendiary name-calling and adolescent dismissals with impunity. Once in a while they may be reprimanded for rudeness, but it is an uncommon event. Depending on the moderator dealing with the complaint, one can often expect an entire thread to disappear, as it is the lazy approach to keeping things in order. However, the guilty parties are left unpunished and reappear in the next thread that pops up on the topic to continue their bullying and ranting. There are rage-filled men posters too, but they are not as frequent. However, even they usually survive permanent ban. Somehow, the lesson is to be caustic since logic, consideration and respect are definitely not honoured by POF.

    In fairness, a couple of the moderators have been diligent but it is not nearly enough, as the forums have degenerated into a cyber representation of an unsupervised grade school melee. Once in a while a new member will chime in only to be exposed to a full volley of hatred and vitriol. Honesty is met with hostility unparalleled in a real world discussion (well, at least those that don’t end up in a fist fight). The thread deletion by committee is only encouraging like-minded man bashers to collude in removing any topic that threatens their world of fantasy. Why that feature is even in place when this misuse is obvious, is proof that there is no intention to expend any effort in making a member’s visits a good experience.

    You would think that as a site dedicated to the promotion of finding the heart warming experience of an intimate interpersonal relationship, POF would create and maintain an atmosphere of congeniality between the sexes: but it doesn’t as far as the forums are concerned. Removing the gang of bullies would go a long way towards this, yet this is apparently not on their agenda.

    It doesn’t only “suck” for men, it sucks for the few decent women that do not realize that POF is so infested a pool of detritus that the decent fish are few and far between (or, have long since sprouted legs and have learned to walk away).

    Are you a blog of pof? Markus is making lots o money by making it impossible to register. That’s why he gets so many hits. I’ve been trying to register for days, so many hits for ol M’kus. I’m through making him money. But maybe I still am, because maybe you are him? As far as the women go, who knows. Same with the men. But how would I know? Ol M’kus has made it impossible for me to register.

    I agree internet dating is a scam, and like you said, what the internet dating sites don’t tell you is that there are too many men, and far too few women.

    I made the rather foolish mistake of joining “plenty of fish”, and various paid internet dating sites, and never again will I waste my time and money sending hundreds of e-mails to women who either don’t exist, or don’t even bother replying.

    Internet dating is a fraud!!

    I have been on POF a few times.

    I am one of the “20%” of males that women want due to my height, build and wealth combined with no kids never married etc. I say this not to boast but rather as background information

    My experiences were as follows

    For every 10 emails I send I get about 8 or 9 responses. I would also get many unsolicited emails where the women would contact me first and the majority of those that did are in my view undesirable ( obese, divorce issues, entitlement princesses, feminazi overtones)

    The issue is that these women never want to date — soon as I try to set up a date they disappear or some excuse comes up.

    I believe that 90 % of women on dating sites are there just for an ego boost and to make themselves “feel good” they have zero intention of meeting anyone. In fact I would say many are already in a relationship and are feeling neglected by their partner

    They want too see how much in “demand” they are and by what type of men and as such this inflates their sense of “self worth” in the dating scene. They are basically ranking their own attractiveness and desirability.

    By doing this it assist them to overcome depression or the likes so that they can somehow feel good about their lives.

    I believe only 1 in 10 women on dating sites is genuine.

      From my personal experience I would agree that most women are there to boost their ego or are in an unsatisfying relation. I went out on a date with a woman and met her subsequently and she told me that she is already seeing someone. Since I liked her company i said lets stay friends for now to which she agreed. after a month or so i went back to her online profile and see her still being there with log in date as yesterday. when i asked her, she says oh i forgot to pull it down and things not great with my bf so am just keeping it up, and guess what she has this bf for a year before she met me. its a scam completely. the time tested way of meeting via contacts is the way to go
