Spending money on dating sites

Isn’t there some other way you could meet women? I know meeting people at bars isn’t as popular now. But it has happened for me even though I rarely go to bars. I though women were trying to pick up Seth at bars? Might wanna disregard my post if your an alcoholic . Isn’t there something comparable to the meet up app in the UK. I went to some of the meet up hiking groups they were real social. Unfortunately I met some stupid guy that wanted to be friends with benefits. I might try again at a later time.

I spent a year on match, its rubbish imo but i didnt swipe much or send messages to online women so that doesnt help, i’m doing it better now but still not great at it.

Use the dollars :moneybag: :moneybag: :moneybag: wisely. Ching ching, money money money.

Honestly a lot of people fall for this and feel short changed. One of my close friends (no MH issues) said she spent £30 on OkCupid and got nothing back from it. Its designed in a way to limit your experience if you don’t pay. But paying doesn’t guarantee anything either. Take it as something to learn from I guess.

Oh. Here’s an anecdote about OkCupid I almost forgot. I had 90 something matches on Okcupid, but it won’t tell me who they are unless I manage to match with them or I pay for premium membership. There was a sale on so I paid. Guess how many weren’t woman (and im a straight dude) easily 80% of them! It was so annoying. Why have they matched with me if I’m not at all interested? Its just a way to make paying for A list seem more alluring.

About 3 months in I just liked everyone near me. I got a few messages but it didn’t go anywhere

What did you lie about?

I told a was a family man, healthy hobbies, steady at work and then i posted a photo, a selfie where i looked very good, even though i’m partly bald and just got an average look. I didn’t mention anything about i’m a bit odd and introvert cause my schizotypal personality disorder.
I think you have to be honest on sites like that

i want to snap a couple pics at my radio show and at the gym, i’m a bit worried about the whole clubhouse thing bc i got to explain i had a mental illness, i think i look a bit needy in the video

i been ghosted again, a woman i was talking to last night just ghosted me this morning and idk why? we were getting on ok

Maybe she didn’t ghost you. It’s just a few hours. I talk to people and stop for days. Then pick up the convo again.

her profile and messages are not on my account anymore, idk whats happened :frowning: a few women have said they liked me then i cant talk to them bc their accounts have been removed :frowning:

u think someone really hates me on pof high up in the running of the site, someone is actively preventing me from making a connection,

The people that like you on pof then aren’t there are fake profiles. It happens a lot and they get deleted.

I deleted all my profiles a couple of days ago. Its broken and I am going away to uni at some point anyway.

What are you saying to them? Do you bring up sz? Do you ask to go out right away? Do you talk about their looks? Do you talk about yourself a lot instead of asking after them?

Something is turning them off if it’s every woman you talk to. It’s really easy to come off desperate when you really are lonely.

Just ask them about themselves.

no, i just try and chat to them normally. idk, just being friendly.

I don’t know, then. Maybe they’re fake profiles. Those pretend to like every man and search for money.

I’d suggest copy and pasting your conversations into a document, then if you get ghosted again have a friend read the conversation to see if they can find what went wrong.

I remember when I was going mainly for sex with a decent guy I got so many likes lol.

I mean meet mes

i think the site wants me to pay and pay and pay, doesnt want me to find love, i wish i could trust them
