Plus in the realworld the girl dont know that much about the guy ! Edited June 3, 2014 by the tank Link to post Share on other sites
guest572 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Yes, it works. Link to post Share on other sites
thelastunicorn Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It works for some people. I believe the general consensus is if you can't get a date in real life you probably won't be able to get one online. Also, it's important to keep in mind that online dating was meant to be a tool not the only way to meet other single people. Now it's flooded with socially awkward people that can barely hold a conversation and wouldn't know what to do if they actually met someone worth dating. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Author the tank Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I thinks your last line is right !! Actually I have no problem getting date in real life and online .I re-create an account yesterday and already have 2 girls who respond . Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Actually I think you'll find online dating is "flooded" with totally normal people. Many, many people have online dating profiles. The single people you meet in a bar, in a supermarket, at an activity club, probably all have online dating profiles. Some interesting statistics: Online Dating Statistics | Statistic Brain It's a total fallacy to think that the singles who use online dating are somehow socially inept, awkward or different to those you would meet offline. Thjey are the SAME PEOPLE!!! As for "does it work"... yes of course it does, you admit that in your first line OP. You have met people. Once you meet the "online" part is over, and you're in exactly the same place you'd be if you met them offline. Link to post Share on other sites
Disillusioned Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yes, it works if you're a woman who looks like a supermodel. Other than that, it doesn't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smthn_Like_Olivia Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It works if you're honest and realistic about what you're looking for. You don't have to be a supermodel, but you should equally bring to the table whatever qualities you're looking for. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Snakechammah Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Frankly, OLD is the best thing that ever happened to me! The man of my dreams messaged me 2 days after I joined. We became exclusive and deleted our accounts. I had only been in OLD for a total of 11 days, but for him, it was about 5 months. I didn't even utilize the month's subscription! I guess I am one of those lucky ones. It really works and that's the best decision I've ever made - to join OLD! It was my first time joining one too, lol Link to post Share on other sites
guest572 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It's just dating that starts out on the Internet. Its a good efficient way to find people who are compatible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is really useful informations. How is that useful? What it doesn't tell you is how many of those messages say "fancy a shag love", "cougar?", "threesome?" etc. It doesn't tell you how many of her replies are "oh yes" or "get lost creep" or "thanks for the interest but you're not my type". In short: it tells you the quantity but not the quality. It's meaningless. Just concentrate on your own inbox. Everything else is pointless. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In this website you send a message to the girl with an invitation. if she accept you can chat. It maybe stupid, but if the girl have one hundred invitations , you have less chance she saw your message than a girl who only have ten invitations Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 You're applying averages and statistical analysis to something that is very subjective! If your pics and profile are awesome then you'll get replies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Disillusioned Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hmm... maybe people outside the US take OLD seriously. Here in the US, almost no one is serious about OLD. Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It's usually people who have failed or had bad experiences with OLD that bash it so much and say it doesn't work. Online Dating Statistics | Statistic Brain You're saying that out of 54 million US singles, 41 million of them don't take it seriously? That 1.25 billion spend on online dating is done just for giggles? That 17% of all marriages and 20% of committed relationships in the US weren't taking it seriously? If you want to believe that, OK 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author the tank Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I have an analytic mind. Like I said I met people through OLD and I got a date next week. Disillusioned I lived in a big city, that help a lot ! Link to post Share on other sites
Targetlock Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 what works for one person, doesn't work another and OLD seems to be one of those things. though sometimes it does feel like a lottery or some strange game. Link to post Share on other sites

Thjey are the SAME PEOPLE!!! Though, there may be a fraction of normal people online, I think a good amount of them are bit socially inept, if not that, they are just doing it to seek attention / validation and nothing more.
