Why are dating websites full of weird people?

Why are dating websites full of awful people. I’ve had some awful experiences on them. Is it mainly people that wouldn’t be able to get a date?

Yeah it’sPOF I’ve meet weird people on. Is it because it’s free? Some very pushy people on there.

Most guys on dating apps are looking for hookups. Most women on dating apps are looking for validation including how guys compliment how pretty they are. All of them are really insecure.

I’m not weird, I’m unique :stuck_out_tongue:

Yea maybe pushy is the word I would use too tbh.

I think the fact is free means that many people who are not so dedicated to finding the ONE, go on it just to get some action and out of boredom…maybe

Maybe that’s it.

I’ve used a pay site. Easy to get dates. Only problem in my past was that I was too open. I’d date just about anyone. I was definitly not in sync with my intuition.

I never dated for hookups though. Weirdest date I had was someone who decided in like 2 minutes I wasn’t their type and just said: “this isn’t gonna work” and then just up and left. But she seemed like a troubled person so I let it go pretty quick.

I was on paid dating apps and the men were mostly looking for hookups. Also, I met some men who sexually assaulted me. Dating apps are bad in my experience. I also met a stalker who followed me outside after I dumped him. I did not meet anybody worth it on these dating apps. I used Bumble,Tinder, and other dating apps besides POF. I am staying off these dating apps permanently. I have had the worst experiences with men who I met from these sites. They are mostly superficial and are not interested in relationships. So, I would not recommend other women to use these dating apps unless they are looking for sex. Some women have said they were lucky to find someone on these dating apps, such as Match. But, I was not lucky and had the worst experiences. I am happier being alone than being assaulted or stalked. I had enough of this nightmare and am glad I am off all of these dating sites.

I met Mr. Star on a dating site. I had terrible luck trying to find a date the old fashioned way. I am too weird.

Did bumble for a while. Had a lot of fun with people not looking for anything serious.

I wouldn’t go back. I’m very happy with the partner I met the old fashioned way. An arrangement.

I have a profile on No Longer Lonely but it’s gotten zero traction.

I should probably take it down.

Dating websites are dangerous sometimes. I don’t trust them and I don’t use them. There’s also a lot of bots and super creepy people. Some men will pretend to be women on there too fake pictures fake profiles. It’s not for me

I’m not talking about trans women either I’m talking about guys that use female pictures and want to talk to straight guys I’ve experienced that and didn’t realize it at first

I’m always worried I’m going to meet up with a “girl” and get robbed by a bunch of gangsters also the women mostly want hookups which I’m not interested in

I did meet one nice guy on pof tbf and we still keep in contact. On a friendly basis. Now n then.

He is so chilled I like that about him.

I might join POF. No Longer Lonely is a cesspool.

No longer lonely is even worst in the UK. There is literally like 10 people for the whole of the UK, as far as I remember
