I think its a confidence killer because most guys are lame and boring on there, like you said. On top of that they don't accept POF for being a trash heap and get their emotions and ego involved. If you have a typical boring profile and just post hey, and follow it up with chit chat and blah blah garbage til you both fall asleep, you will prolly have no success and lose confidence.\O/ said:I really don't understand why you guys keep using these sites. Especially when the main goal guys have here (myself included) is to be 100% confident and happy with ourselves.
It is no secret that, for most guys, online dating sites are confidence killers numero uno.
Most girls will ignore your messages. Even ugly whences and warpigs will reject you. The competion is insane and the guys are desperate. Guys will accept to drop their standards by several points, and the average and ugly girls gets to enjoy the massive attention from guys several points above them. This manifests itself in other social areas. The average and ugly girls think that they can get top 10% guys, but in reality they only get used for sex and end up complaining about how bad guys are. They still think they deserve that type of guy, because they get massive attention from them online.
I've used social networking/dating sites in the past and have had moderate success. However, i find it to be too much of a numbers game. If you live in a huge city with millions of inhabitants, it's different, but if you live in a smaller city you will plough through the entire dating pool in a few weeks. Girls online can also be found in bars, nightclubs etc. It's not cool to approach a girl who has already rejected you online is it? Do you feel like James Bond when that happens? I don't think so.
Stay away from sites like this. Bad for confidence. Bad for reputation. Bad for mentality. Bad for quality.
I posted this in a thread in the tips forum a couple days ago...
For guys struggling with anxiety, body language, tempo, articulation, and tonality of voice online skeez hunting may be the best thing for them. It was for me. I was getting no play in the field, because I didnt have the confidence to express myself how I wanted to. I wasnt completely miserable with girls, I got ***** and action here and there but wasnt capitalizing on my potential. After a few months of destroying POF Im a different person now
Online dating is WAY easier if you have the tools
.....that's just my experience, and everyone is different. But all of the things I listed from anxiety, body language, tempo, articulation, and tonality of voice I struggled somewhat with each of those, whereas now due to POF I'm a lot more comfortable IRL with ZERO fear of rejection or embarrassment, and am an all around better person.
POF was the most practical advice Ive got here ever. Youre completely safe behind your computer screen from REAL LIFE rejection. You get to practice and see which things are effective and which arent when talking with chicks. You get a little more used to rejection. You realize how most chicks have NO confidence and low standards for themselves. You HAVE TO take it all with a grain of salt because you are online and the chicks are clearly a bit off, but I still was able to keep things in perspective while still applying a lot of what I learned in real life game.
Some clearly arent going to have the same experiences or problems as me, but I strongly believe from my personal experience that POF can be exactly what some guys here need
