^ yeah. . .online dating is tragic! ! ! Tinder. . .POF. . .omg, it's really tragic. . .as the other posters have said. . .the love game has now become the money game. . .it's pretty dire. . .I don't know what it must be like if you're on the spectrum. . .I only know a handful of dating sites specifically for people on it. . .but those are really cr*p sites pardon the expression. . .

What do you guys think about penpals though? Loving relationships can bloom from them although it's a different kind of love. . .but then we're opening up a can of worms re 'What is love' and 'What are the different types of love' and it's like. . .love from a hooker is different from love you feel for somebody you met at a line dancing session at your local community. . .and that again is different from meeting somebody off Tinder. . .

But yeah. . .my experience is. . .being a man on dating sites. . .you don't get interested from women. . .and usually you have to pay to access. . .women, I don't know how they view it. . .maybe their experience is better. . .maybe they get constantly inundated with messages and alerts from guys! ! !

Young women, without baggage, are generally flattered that any reasonably-polite, reproductively-fit male is giving them positive attention. Sorry not sorry.

Interrnet dating is like the thriftshop, where things are irreparably worn, around the edges, or the dollar store, with expired food and knockoff brands. If you put something nice in one of those venues, who would be able to buy it, except someone who wandered in there, on accident. I would prefer not to sound elitist, but people in most of these places, so far, have been "Nothing but Trouble" and "People of Walmart" stereotypes, physically dangerous. I don't think the readers are able to comprehend this problem, literally, from such a comfortable distance.

Meh, the sites exists and people can choose to use them or not use them...I don't see the tragedy, what because not everyone succeeds in getting a relationship from them? Its not like its super rare that people meet their S.O on a dating site, so that implies that it does work for a lot of people...both male and female.

I met my boyfriend on Okcupid...and I certainly would not call our meeting there a tragedy.

Because, most people's loyalty is paid-for, not unconditional, not customary.

You have to live like the Prodigal Son, for them to give you the time of day, and they are not any more rich than you are.

You are missing my point on 'tragedy'. It got nothing to do with being present on dating websites. Its the profounding impacts on the society. The change of behaviour. Internet has changed the way we communicate and it not always in good way because it influences on our nonverbal aspects. Dating website are like marketing scheme of alcohol, cigarettes and fast food in equivalent. It all about money making not just love or sex.

I am not trying to be like a person on the spectrum who 'cant deal with change' but this dating websites is good example that the society cant deal with it. Lot of people with social minds are very likely to succeed with these sites and apps but people with intelligence is unlikely. The socially minded people tend to miss out on important communication skills like people who regularly see a psychologist and learn about life skills and other aspects. I learned a lot about this in past 8 years and that what shaped my mind. I asserted myself and found ways to get connected with people in similar manner, but unfortunately not everyone is responding in same way as me. In a professional workplace, this works very well.

A socially minded society tend to get out of control, for instance people fall onto fake news on Facebook etc. I am not saying people are dumb, it just dont realise they are into these situations.
