Are Traditional Dating Sites Dead?

[Georgepithyou]

So over the week I decided to try out POF,Okcupid and even Badoo.

What I noticed is these sites, at least here in Sydney, Australia are dead. There was maybe 5 women online on all 3 the rest seem to be inactive accounts that haven't logged on in years.

Did swipe apps like Tinder take all the market share or have they moved to a different website? I haven't really used these before but it can't be this dead.

I'm searching women 18 - 24, for context. I'm Not sure if these websites skew to an older demographic.

Probably, GPS dating is superior for the woman's strategy

Online dating was never "alive"....Voice tone, posture, facial expression. All things that usually make the difference. At least for me that is.

Not in the US they aren't.

That's all well and good, but if there are only 5 womenon the entire website then you don't have many options.

Grow a pair of nuts. Put on your big boy pants and go get girls. Apps are phaggotry. Low hanging fruit. Single moms and fatties. Loads of sluts seeking simps on OFs or ig. Obv, source girls everywhere but the algorithm panders to women harder than Western divorce Court systems.

Step game up. Once upon a time, there was more traditional apps available and OLD sites. Its a waste of time. Its a shtick and the good girl act ropes in simps. Kevin Samuel's is about to run his pic for rich men to play house after best yrs are done and Tyrone isn't hitting it anymore.

Take your D out and start smashing hoes. Actually experience a man's rejection. Not apps that cater to women. Far hotter girls off the Internet everywhere. Go get them.

Your 100% right, it is better in real life. However we are in a global pandemic and daygame is pretty much dead so thats why I've Been using OLD in the mean time until things pick up again.

Day game has not changed for me. Been seeing several steady through pandemic. Sourcing more. London model ftw.

Women are not incel through pandemic. The pandemic is probably a better time to run game. You have a higher probability of her IMMEDIATE rejection or success. No fence sitters with a mask on. Works perfect for me. Dtf or next. Repeat till d falls off or dead. 3 approach a day. Bump this in a year. You will be a new man.

When I was on OLD, I did pretty well on Bumble, JSwipe and OKStupid. Not sure how they are now though. Never tried Tinder or Hinge.

 

[Focal core]

Finding candidate to approach in my area in pandemic era were so frustrating, whale looky girl everywhere, its harder to find an 8 compare when socialising are the norm.. Wonder the majority has morph to an overweight lads.

OLD definately not on my list.

In my area at least 18-24 is mostly on Tinder, SC, IG, TikTok.
POF is usually bottom feeder material with post wall singer mothers past 35yo+ that use that app.
OKcupid is mainly for upper 20's to 50's girls
Badoo in the states is usually used by foreigners or transplants from other countries

Not sure if you have Hinge in your country and if it's popular but you might wanna try that as that has different algorithm that is better(for guys) than any of the Match group owned apps(POF, Tinder, OKC, Match).

 

[Krueg]

I've never had success with online dating. I've heard of coworkers and friends getting dates but not me... most are fat, ugly, single moms, couples looking for a 3rd wheel, slvts or just scammers.

 

[bcude]

They're not dead, in fact they're thriving (see why further down), but women who genuinely want to meet up are maybe hesitant due to covid and new lockdowns. AW's are uneffected.

Be smart and own mtch group (owner of many dating apps) instead, the stock printed a new all time high yesterday. That's how you stay ahead of the game lol

I tried hinge but it kept showing me the same 11 women, I did date one girl from.there but it seems it doesn't have that many users here in Sydney.

If I were single, I think the pandemic is a great time for men to focus on their mind,body, and wealth. Dating right now seems a bit dicey, maybe not even worth the time spent trying?

It's a catch 22 since the gym's are closed so you can only do home exercises. Wealth could be limited depending on what industry you are in.
What I think is the pandemic can be good if you are relationship oriented and want to have a gf. I've noticed more and more people would rather settle down with someone and have some sense of stability rather than jumping from person to person and risk getting sick during the pandemic. Plus this pandemic has girls that are willing to put more focus and effort on a person due to limited and risky prospects.

Bumble and OKC has different categories for what you're looking for(casual, short term, long term, relationship, etc). I noticed a big decline in all categories other than relationships in my area at least from last year.

The problem is that most women get so many offers in everyday life, that they don't need to go online. Those that do are the ones that are totally invisible to men.

What I've experienced when meeting women from these sites is that they tend to be significantly uglier than their pictures and have a bad attitude. Probably why they're single in the first place. Plus you have to waste time talking to a lot of boring timewasters before you get to one that even wants to go on at date.

If it isn't a swipe app, it is dead to the under 50 populace.

The women that are more desirable and actively make an effort to meet men have their every day lives structured in such a way that they don't need the swipe apps. There are some cute women (mainly what most men would rate 6-7) that use the swipe apps because something is wrong with their day-to-day routines. The majority of it is pure trash.

Patently false. The theories and logic people come up with and spout off as truths are just shockingly out of touch with reality in regards to dating apps most times. Sorry, this has not been my experience or most other people who regularly use dating apps experience. Only the people who use them here and there and then say they don't work because they might not get any responses or limited responses. They are also likely the ones who send boring messages or have nothing to say that is interesting in either their message or profile(and YES they do read profiles...I put a question for them to answer at the end of the profile and more than half send me their answer to this in the first message unprompted.)

I can promise you that if I message 15-20 women in any given morning that I will have at least 3-5 phone numbers by the end of the day and could have set up dates with pretty much all of them for later in the week. And they aren't going to flake.
