Honestly dude, you need to enjoy being single. I say this because you need to enjoy life and enjoy who YOU are. I know you are venting, and yeah....being alone does suck (at times). However, with that said, if you start to look like a dude who just is not happy with his life at all, what chick is gonna want to get to know you? Not a damn one dude. That is just harsh truth, but it is truth.

Dating sites do not....DO NOT....mean that you sign up, and within one day you are getting freaky in the sheets with your future wife. Dating is not an exact science. Hell, I am sure we all wish it was. But it isn't. But dating sites can work. Hate to say this, and it is cliche...but dating (and therefore dating sites) are just a cliche. You talk to people on sites, you meet them, and if you strike out, you move forward. That is the way the game is played. For some, it happens fast. Others, it doesn't. Just how it is my man.

Goofball, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Yep, signing up on a dating site does not guarantee you anything, least of all, the woman of your dreams. It just gives you another option or opportunity to meet people on a vaster scale.

Like everything else worth having in life, you have to work for it.

I made friends at these sites, but I'm skeptical to find a partner here, most men just looking for fun and I'm looking for a relationship.
Human beings are complicated.

Since this is my first time I see dating sites as throwing caution to the wind, if it works great, if not, keep on keeping on dude, it always happens when you least expect it...*shrugs*

Well..it worked for me.

You are going to have to get comfortable being single. That is the biggest key.

Being " fed up " of being single is something that women can sense when talking to someone and it just reeks of desperation.

Another thing is your obvious lack of self confidence.

You have to SEND messages to GET messages, dude.

Be who you are...but be POSITIVE about who you are.

If you are truly a " loving guy " women will see it.

If you are just a " nice guy " ( read : Whiner ) who complains about not getting dates, they will eat you alive.

Take a look under my picture and you'll see that I have been here for over 2 1/2 years.

In that time, I had exactly two dates. Now, admittedly, I am VERY picky about who I date.

But, I had pretty much stopped bothering to look for anyone. I would send out an email here and there if someone's profile caught my attention.

After 2 1/2 years...someone's profile caught my attention and I sent out the email that got things going with the woman next to me in the picture.

If you are going to join a dating site, you can't expect instant gratification. Goof was 100% correct in that.

However, if you are patient, sometimes, just sometimes, things happen when you least expect them to.

Good luck, dude.

There are a few of us guys like that out here on this site.

You'll have to weed through a bunch of idiots to find us, though.

We don't bring a whole lot of attention to ourselves.

That's true, we're practically invisible!

i broked it

That, my fine feathered friend, is exactly how we will know when a good woman comes along.

She'll be the one who pays attention to someone other than the attention whores.

When u feel something just go for it that's how I met my boyfriend I had almost gaven up being heart broken time after time then I met him he changed it all I said God sent him too me too love

i've been on A LOT of dating sites and they haven't worked for me yet

The way I figure it, the type of person I'm looking for either

a.) doesn't exist, or

b.) doesn't use dating sites.

If it's a.) it doesn't matter what I do, regardless, and if it's b.) I just have to wait until they catch up with the technology or vice versa!

if people are honest, and put in the time, it can work.
most ppl i`ve met had OLD pics posted, NOT good

the new rule should require all pics to have a current
newspaper front page in the picture to verify the photo date!!

Well dating sites dont guarantee you a date, they are just places where you can find single women. You can also find them in the supermarket, and other places. Whether or not you meet anyone through a dating site depends entirely on you.

The shameful secret that NO dating site wants to admit....

All dating sites are divided into two groups -- the "real" group and the "placebo" group.

The "real" group gets to read actual profiles of actual people who actually want to meet other actual people.

The "placebo" group only ever gets to see thousands of variations of the same horribly useless profile of a person who doesn't even really exist.

It's all done in the name of SCIENCE, people!

I, of course, have somehow ended up in the "placebo" group on all 15,212 sites I've tried. This is, mathematically speaking, somewhat suspicious.

But it DOES explain why I can't find anyone compatible, oh yes....

Have you tried mutual match?

You should



immediately!

We are working on a profile troll-bot which will
issue a mutual score based primarily on age,
facial hair, number of posts, frequency of posting
in the travel forum, who you clicked on accidentally
on purpose, and what is your favorite flavor of ice
cream.

Based on a proprietary system patented in Uzbekhistan
this rating system will tell you if another member
will trade nude pics with you and if they like walks
on the beach as much as you.

Heyyyy, now you`ve got something there!
LOL, kidnappers do that
