Says me, coming up on 27 years of marriage 😛 and yes, it hasn’t always been „rosy“, but we still stick together

Maybe there are women out there who still believe in love and never realized that it could happen to them, or become shocked when they realize that it is happening to them. Now. with me. in my experience, it’s a pretty rare thing when you begin to instantaneously feel an incredible connection with someone Latin Feels sД±navlarД± online. like you’ve known this person forever, as if somehow you were meant to know this person. It requires a huge leap of faith as you find yourself creating an opening for this person to come deep inside your life. You might picture a time in the future, say years from now, still feeling that amazing connection with this person and looking back on this chance encounter as the start of it.Wouldn’t that be amazing to experience?

However online is just so limited. it would be much better to meet this person in real life in the first place. How can you tell what they are really like over the internet? The fact that meeting someone online is so rare is not coincidence IMHO

Personally, I met a lovely lady online and we dated for three and an half years, she had a fairly normal profile, no real demands that I remember

Ultimately though, if you don’t like the impression you get from their profile, don’t approach them. I do seriously question the 90% claim by the way.

Biggest thing, have more of an opening than „Hey how are you doing“, it’s tired and you won’t stand out of the crowd, put some effort into something interesting as an opener, you’re more likely to strike up a conversation that way.

Also is it just me or has the quality of females on these dating sites dropped right off in recent years

Online or not, matching of standards (and values) can be difficult.Some people are materialistic (look at finances etc), and some list looks/body size/height. Others would prioritise character traits above other things.Or a combination of many things.

When looking for a partner, the written word is rarely enough. Online communication only shows so much.And chemistry is a funny thing 🙂

I used to laugh my head off at the profile statements like „don’t need another jerk, are there any good men left!?“, which read to me as „I got loads of baggage, steer clear!“.

Yep. It’s not even worth replying to these threads. The OP just wants to confirm their own bias and stand in an echo chamber to feel better. Only a very small % of women ever get on dating sites, it isn’t representative of the entire gender. Most women have no trouble at all meeting decent people IRL and don’t bother with dating sites. But it seems it’s the preferred locality of men who don’t find success IRL hoping that somehow an internet site is going to change their equation for them.

IRL a heck of a lot of women are preferring to be single now too, they’ve also found it simplify’s life a great deal. In general I think people are just waking up to the fact that coupling up isn’t the be all and end all, and life does go on without it.

A similiar thing, in a very different manner. A whirlpool forum thread vs plastering the wording on his dating profile. Anyone who has a whinge about the opposite sex on their dating profile is sure to get a whole lot of raised eyebrows and facetious laughter.
