No worries
@Fruitbat. I get that there are many men who do better online than in person.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
I don't have the time or inclination to weed through all the people or banter with maybes. I'd rather get out there and meet men who I know I find appealing. This is true of good available women I know more often than not. But I don't know everybody & everybody is not like me.
I use a different strategy better suited to my personality and comfort level. I can walk into a high end party, charity event or exclusive venue alone where I don't know a soul and make new acquaintances instantly & have a great time. But I also had to learn that skill and arrive at that level of self assurance and social calibration.
To me that's more engaging than sifting through online profiles. But what I do many people are terrified to do. So people should do what's comfortable.
Make the contact & the approach. That's the main thing however you do it. So what if it's a 90% fail rate. You aren't looking for a harem of 1000 women. You are looking for one or a few. Within your 10% response rate you'll find what you need.
