Bantosm Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've had varying success on old but I feel it's generally not worth the effort. A couple days ago, I did another attempt. Now usually I can get some conversations started. I messaged three all of which were about equal in looks to the last few women I've dated. This time was different. I didn't get any conversation or even a reply. Now to all of you feel bad about your results using old, maybe you can find solace in my new low-none of the women I messaged even looked at my profile. Strike three. Can anyone top that for worst old results? Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, I've been berated by men when I told them they weren't my type or turned down dates with them. Which is why I stopped responding. Luckily I have a boyfriend now and I'm not worried about it but being called disgusting or offensive names for no reason whatsoever is worse than 3 non responses. Link to post Share on other sites
Shining One Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You're complaining about three messages that didn't receive a response? Come back and complain after you've hit 1000+ like me. My current girlfriend was the fourth woman to respond out of the almost 200 I had messaged that month. Link to post Share on other sites

Strike three. Can anyone top that for worst old results? you know , as much as we blame other people on why , and when and how ... i think we need to really need to take a deeper look at ourselves first before we start OD . Something that i noticed about your post struck me and made me think about myself and the bad luck i have had with OD. i highlighted that part . My last RL was the best thing that has ever happened to me and he was a very great guy . looking back it was just like a romantic drama movie . i ended the relationship for him to have a better future . i sacrificed my love for him to have his hearts desire ... i think my problem with OD is that i COMPARE each possible match to my ex . Once you have something so great you probably look for the same or better idk ... we may have expectations that will not all be met . i think it starts with us first ... some are frustrated and it will shine through even if you try to hide it people are able to sense negative vibes subconsciously ... May not apply to you OP ... just something i observed about myself Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It's the nature of OLD. It's not you. I can strike up a conversation with anybody IRL. Granted it was a long time I ago but I found OLD to be completely demoralizing. It was rejection after rejection which is not something I generally experience IRL. I'm not bragging or saying that I got every man I ever flirted with but rarely did an encounter leave me feeling bad about myself. On OLD it was just the opposite -- rejection, negativity, I hated it. I also stopped after 90 days & never looked back. So if you are unwilling to get off the computer all together, at least heavily supplement whatever you are doing with real life activities designed to have you meet new people.

Author Bantosm Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 This is not new, nor is it bad. 3 unreturned messages and you're complaining? The new low I mentioned is not the lack of replies it's that 0/3 looked at my profile. I don't send out many messages but I usually get some kind reply. Even when I don't get a reply they most always look at my profile. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Bantosm Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Something that i noticed about your post struck me and made me think about myself and the bad luck i have had with OD. i highlighted that part . I used to that to show the females I messaged on old were similar to what I most recently dated. i think my problem with OD is that i COMPARE each possible match to my ex . Once you have something so great you probably look for the same or better idk ... we may have expectations that will not all be met . If that was the case with me then I would never date anyone after my ex from a few years ago. As far as I'm concerned she was perfect for me but life is complicated and it's a lost moment now. The only expectation that has to met is I must be both physically and mentally attracted to any any potential date and that not usually a not a difficult task. Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 This time was different. I didn't get any conversation or even a reply. Now to all of you feel bad about your results using old, maybe you can find solace in my new low-none of the women I messaged even looked at my profile. Strike three. How do you know they've even read your messages? I reckon half of those that are supposed to be 'online' aren't, they just aren't logged out. Personally, I can't stand OLD, it's impersonal and sad. I gave up on it years ago. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
