I am going to try to word this very carefully, as to not upset any apple carts, and since my mind is not really working well, this is difficult. I will try not to generalize here, but over the last ten years especially, romance novels, magazines, social media, movies, Television shows, and alike, have been telling women, that they need to set their standards to only accept a certain kind of man, the "Knite In Shining Armor" type. They will list all these attributes that they should look for, and what to watch for. There are all these articles with titles such as, "Ten kinds of men to stay away from" and "five things to avoid in a man", ETC. So some or more of the women who get caught into these traps, are basing their dating lives on these things. So, if one of the men fall in to one of those "Stay away from" catagories, she will now run. Or, if one of those men has just one of those, "Five qualities to avoid in a man." She will probably run. This is what I'm seeing from my observant perch anyway.



I 100% agree.

I don't have any friends and nearly all women will trash me for it.

They can't even fathom that some men get mistreated by other a lot and that's the reason I have no friends, instead its Q.E.D.. I must be the BAD one. Its my fault *make L shaped finger sign on forehead*.

I mean let's assume that 90% of guys on dating sites are fuckboys; ok?
Even the remaining 10% of them are too many genuine interests; by far much more than any guy can dream to have in a lifetime.
What's a fuckboy?


A guy who just wants to f***.

I'm starting to think it's relatively easy for a girl to get a boyfriend using a dating site. Take for example my ex, who was not exactly a supermodel seeing that she was 29 years old with a BMI of 37.

She had little dating experience as she decided to start dating in December 2015. Within a few weeks she had a boyfriend (let's call him Lewis). After a few weeks things didn't work out with Lewis but by late January, 2016 she had a new boyfriend, me. She stopped talking to me in June 2016 but by July 2016 she had a new boyfriend (let's call him Stephen), who she's with to this day.

^ now how many of you have had that experience of consistently being able to get a new partner within one month?

^ We guys are just....lab rats to them on dating sites! They try us one after another. :| :lol:


There's something funny about dating sites/apps btw....did anyone notice this?

In the very old okcupid, it had a widget showing the current active users, male users were always four to five times; in the newer okcupid versions, they hid this feature completely. And yet they claim now they have equal sex ratio, yeah right.

In the old Tinder, it had 'last activity' feature on profiles, I was so easily able to see how most female profiles were been inactive for months.
In the new Tinder, they removed that.

Why they remove such things? Because they don't want to discourage male users in making them know such info: the real ratio, the real female activity, and make them realize what's really going on and how it's most likely a waste of time ==> more male users would simply quit.

Most popular dating sites/apps today don't give such information, at least not to free users and I doubt even to paid users. It is surely not just a matter of coincidence, it was due to a calculated analysis.

They keep such info hidden from them, smart business move really.

Seriously, it's like while she was with me she was just waiting for a better guy to come along so she could leap from me to him.

Yet she made me promise I'd never leave her and tearfully told me about her "abandonment issues".

I guess she thinks it's only an issue if it applies to her. Even though I didn't think she was perfect, I wasn't trying to "upgrade" to a better partner while I was with her.

They do have an equal sex ratio if you count the bots :lol: 

Also I've noticed OkCupid has more lesbians than gays (and bisexual girls who are 95% into girls and not really into guys that much), more m2f transexuals than f2m (m2f transexuals are count towards the girls' numbers, even pre-op but some guys might not want to date a transexual) and quite a few polyamorous girls.

On OkCupid the number of straight monogamous girls is significantly less than the total number of girls.[quote="The_Face_of_Boo]In the old Tinder, it had 'last activity' feature on profiles, I was so easily able to see how most female profiles were been inactive for months.

Why even go to a dating site in the first place?

Because you can't just ask girls out in public

You can, but if you are going to do that then you should prepare to be rejected a few times.

Roughly equal, but there's almost always more men than women. Considering most people eventually do find a partner, it makes sense that most people, who don't find a partner, are men.

Also some women believe that they're meant to find someone. If you believe that you will find someone no matter what, then why put the work into creating a dating profile? For example, my wife didn't have any dates before me, but she didn't try online dating.
