How Is Online Dating Going for You?

We gay men are the kings of online dating if you can call it dating. I have no trouble meeting men.

Have never and have no plans to. I know many people meet people that way, and it’s successful, but I’ve heard many more stories about bad dates. It seems there are 9 bad dates to every 1 good one. A friend just got divorced and was doing online dating, and it also seemed like a lot of work – getting to know people, then she would do a video chat with them, and then meet in person. Ugh – who has time for that? I guess if you want it and you’re determined, maybe. I don’t want it so I don’t do it.

I’ve done it some since I was single again. Not my favorite thing but I’ve met a few possibilities. Don’t really devote a lot of time to it.

The juices isn’t worth the squeeze.
I tried it for a bit. Kind of scary out there with the online selections with too many expectations.
I prefer to meet people and open a dialogue the old fashion face to face way.

I tried a few different apps/sites and spent months trying to find a match. I rarely ever found any one I liked the look and sound of, and when I did it only led to one match.

That one match came across as an idiot, was barely literate, and went radio silent after two brief exchanges before deleting its account.

The conclusion was that it was a great way to make you feel like you’re completely unwanted and unviable. It’s also never certain whether the profiles are of any actual women.

I had a daughter who considered it, but it seemed that most of the guys were simply looking to get laid. That was a real turn-off.

I have tried dating sites, but never actually made any connections. I found the guys in my age bracket were looking for women 20 years younger. Which made guys in their 80’s looking for women in their 60’s.

The last time I found a tall 6’5” single woman on a dating site she wanted her suitors to earn $150,000+ per year minimum.

No. Too dangerous.
