Match.com and pof are jokes for men. Research shows that only about 3% of sent messages from guys get a response(no idea why as u would think its 50% men and women on the site) . I'm sitting here getting messages from 6s and 7s where at bars and clubs I can pull 8s and 9s. Online dating is ideal for women not men unfortunately

Think about how much things would be better if prostitution was legal. No crime, health checks, safe, taxed and regulated. And not up the bum f in the desert. I'm not sure it'd be better for women as they'd lose a lot (most?) of their power in the "dating market" but it'd definitely be better for men and prostitutes.

It does beg the question though, Is OP looking to get laid, or looking for a relationship in which he'll also get laid? Big difference.
I don't think there is a big difference. What his objectives are that's his business and personal preference. There are 3 things: love, companionship and sex. Each person man or woman wants some mix of the three (some components may be 0%) and not necessarily the same mix from every partner. A certain mix of the 3 is not any less legitimate than another mix of the 3. And what if the guy is just looking to get laid? Is that necessarily "worse" or to be looked down upon than "a serious girl" who's looking for love and companionship first and sex distant third? Does that mean the man is a dog and the woman is a saint? There are many women who see their current partner as "not serious relationship or bf material". Does that mean they are "bad"? Or in that case it's OK because they're women?

So how does it make a difference?

True, though I know some guys do amazing on POF. But then again they're not guy who're having trouble finding girls in general. But you're right, the average guy doesn't fare well on POF. But then again, the average guy doesn't fare well in the dating market, period. The average guy in the dating market fares as well as the fat or ugly girl. I think that's a good analogy. He gets crumbs and has to settle for much less than he wants. In fact, average guy and fat or ugly girl are a good match. I'm sure you see those couples all the time and go: "WTF? Must be LOVE, eh? REAL LOVE!"

No when I see an average/ugly guy with a 9-10 woman that's when I say WTF. And in real life as opposed to online dating I think its a fair field. Online it's not

Go to bars and look for the women who look like they don't want to be there but they are there to cover a wild friend. Those women are loyal and will ditch her wild friend once she has a man.

See right there, you're already asking for too much. An average guy can't pick up on subtle social clues to that extent. Guy will think: "bar, girl" and then "girl, bar", cycle, cycle, cycle *ERROR*

You never see a good looking guy with a fat chick? Or you don't go WTF then?

It just matters because there are different venues for finding those three things. I don't care what his motivations are, but I could recommend better places to find people if I knew what he was looking for, silly.

You think I'm judging him? You got the wrong girl.

Well, I was stuck behind those stupid trucks at many a stoplight when I cabbed in LV. It was kind of easy to see the 69 pattern to the numbers...accident? I think not.

As for dating sites...I did really well on Match years ago...okay on POF and simply got laid on the old Singlesnet.

The biggest problem with online sites is that women think it's okay to post 5-10 year old pictures! Maybe guys do that too...I wouldn't know. What I do know is that women post old pictures, get a lot of attention and it goes to their head. Then you meet them at a meetup or for coffee and go WTF? Who IS this?

I would only agree to meet at Starbucks with a 20 minute time limit...That kept me from having to gnaw my arm off...

In all my time on the different sites I only met three girls that looked like their pictures and one that looked much better in person...we dated for four years.

If you just want to get laid, meet the women with profiles that say; I don't have sex on the first date!" ...meet them, tell them that you don't see anything happening between you two, thank her for her time and attempt to leave...they will ask to still hook-up!

You see, they will tell you what they are or do by telling you what they aren't or wont do...
