Who in their right frame of mind would consider NOT dating some chick off of online 'dating' a failure?
Take it from me. I wouldn't waste my time and never bothered even attempting to date chicks off of POF. I used the site to kill downtime and troll chicks for my own amusement.
Trust me as well as the countless dudes who HAVE dated chicks online. The 'ladies' who use online dating are all either headcases, overweight, single moms, PREGNANT and DATING, drug users, heavy drinkers, whack jobs, bi-sexual (yes MANY), serial daters, attention wh0ring, the neighboorhood slvt, bi-polar, feminists, entitled princesses, complete morons, fresh out of relationships, drama queens, good for nothing while expecting everything yet have nothing to offer, and so on.
I had talked to TONS of chicks when I used that site from ALL OVER the US. Trust me. Chicks who use online dating use it for GOOD REASON, and there's nothing good about the reason(s) they do.
If you meet a chick in real life who tells you shes used or is on an online dating site (she's most likely had or has her profile on several sites) take it as a FULL WARNING and go complete ghost.
But if you feel like playing Russian Roulette for a quick piece of God knows what STD she carries and how many countless dudes have used her as a cvm dvmpster. Be my guest! (Yes. It's even the ugly ones and the land whales even more..)
