I know you're trying to "help" with your posts and this is actually sound advice. But you also need to cut the crap too.Honestly IMO this is the best answer and I find it to be true. For example I get approached all the time by the type man I prefer in real life (and I circulate in circles where these people are)...and desirable men do the same thing.
So why then would I be doing OLD? I don't need to. My calendar is as full as I'd like at any given time without doing that.
I think if a man just wants extra bandwidth to get the lay or gain experience OLD might be useful, but otherwise it is impossible to sufficiently filter via OLD. This was what I found to be true when I first re-entered the dating market as an attractive woman.
OLD casts much too wide a net to be able to filter much at all. I found it to be an absolute waste of time. I do know two married couples who met on Match, but I found Match to be far too time consuming/distracting to take seriously.
If you want more than a ONS you are better off to figure out what kind of woman you would like to meet and then put yourself into venues where that type of woman exists. This will immediately and substantially increase your odds.
Of course that also means you are going to need the skillset to approach successfully in real life, but if you just commit to do it you'll get better.
If you get approached by the type of man you like "so often".. why are you still single? Just wh0ring around or what?
And if only trash is online.. then why were you EVER online?
