El Brujo Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 You're definitely correct about OLD not being profitable anymore. What I've noticed lately is that match.com is buying up other online dating sites and using them to drive traffic to their site. <snip> Bottom line, I think OLD is going to be done in 2 - 4 years unless OLD site operators find a new scam to reel people in. OLD sucks. Heh... it will be a real laugh if match.com starts buying out organizers of singles & dating groups on meetup.com and tries to take them over. They're going to need to hire a LOT of women to go to the meetups as date bait... failing that, they might have to resort to hiring men in drag. One thing I've learned about OLD operators is to never put anything past them if they think they can make a fast buck off it, regardless of how ridiculous it looks to the rest of us. They'd hire people to dance around in chicken suits on Main Street at rush hour, if they thought they could lure in more suckers with it. The sad part is... there's no shortage of horny twentysomething guys out there who are dumb enough to fall for it in person, thereby keeping the scam going. Those guys are like the 1 person in 1,000 who reply to spammers. Link to post Share on other sites
jbelle6 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 OP, careful posting personal letters. I think you have pointed out some of the things you could work on, and it's a good start. Is there maybe somewhere where people post their profile and help each other tweak it to make it a bit better? Sometimes two (or more) heads are better than one and maybe some women could help you out since they might know more what attracts them? Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
singme2sleep Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) First of all, referring to us as "broads" is offensive. OLD is difficult no matter what your gender is. I'm 26 and have tried it twice over the years on different sites. It's discouraging but when you're lonely, it seems appealing. Women get a mixture of responses, whether they are attractive or not. But in the end I still believe it comes down to personality... Edited June 6, 2014 by singme2sleep Link to post Share on other sites
Author Da Lonely 1 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm not on any dating sites just now. I wouldn't stand a chance of getting a woman anyway. Just because. Some sites like Tagged are just full of sluts, and fake accounts. Either that or people picking on desperate men for kicks. Setting up a profile takes effort and if nobody cares, then why should you? Also, read this. Seeing my former key worker Sara is awkward! - General Autism Discussion It has not been a good year for me at all. I honestly feel like just retiring from all social activities. I've also ended up with agoraphobia, so even going to a shop is hard. Link to post Share on other sites
