The mysteries of online dating

[Boredd]

What are people really after on online dating websites?

I recently decided to open up a profile but I've not getting any messages at all, which is a little disheartening. I think I'm a decent looking enough guy and was really hopeful that I can meet some new people through online dating websites. I've sent out a lot of messages to people too but they've all been ignored and its clear that they've seen it, which is a little rude in my opinion. If someone approached me somewhere, I'd have the decency to chat to them or tell them I'm not interested but I wouldn't flat out ignore anyone.

Ughh, it's so frustrating!

So now I'm considering taking my profile down as its going no where.

From what I've heard, if the app you're using is Grindr, then that's your problem right there. Many people on Grindr have an Adonis complex where they believe that just because they work out a lot and just because they're handsome, they're too good for anybody and most men are not worthy to be in their presence. I haven't used any apps myself, but from what I've heard, Growlr is better because the people there are more "real" and not superficial like on Grindr.

Are they "DATING" sites, or "HookUp" sites ???

Given the anonymity of on line, social graces have flown out the window.

There are basically two type of online dating site users.

1) Is the guy who just wants a shag. If there is anything on your profile that indicates that you want any kind of involvement then they will ignore you.
2) Is the guy who is looking for a long term partner. He won't be interested in sex at first. This is the guy who will want to 'date' you for months before you even get a sniff of his jockeys!

You need to tailor your profile to whichever type you are looking for and go for it.

Like your fetish for Jan Terri.

Speaking of lacking in social graces... OP - ^^^ this would be a good example of what to avoid.

I was excited about gay apps for a few days when I first got a smartphone last year. I think I joined most of the top ones that came off of the search list. Some sites are better than others just on a technology basis. Boy Ahoy is full of spam and enticements to get you to pay. Result= no meeting , deleted app. Grindr ...I had heard about most and had great expectations. Technically, the site is OK but it is what it is. If you aren't young and/or don't have a hot image with your bits out forget it. Result= no meetings, deleted app.

I will spare you my opinion of the other apps. Similar result. Waste of time. Plus you see the same people on them.

Result= met no one deleted app.

If you must OKCupid is probably better because they do not allow nudity and you must fill out your profile and people do. Still heavy age bias of course but that's anywhere.

I found great friends, great sex, and even love online, but you do need a bit of a thick skin and some patience.

On not getting any messages back: I also used to think it's rude, so I always wrote back whenever I got a message. But I ended up having tons of endless, pointless conversations with boring people, and it was a real waste of time. I now think that simply not answering a message from a guy you're not interested in is perfectly acceptable. It may seem a little rude, but most people do that anyway, I think it's considered normal.
