I don't tend to recommend internet dating to a lot of guys, for a few reasons:
* In general, the quality isn't there. That's not to say that there aren't desirable women online, but you have a lot chaff to get through to find the wheat. Highly-desirable women are only dating online if they are A) just trying it out before they realize that most men dating online are also lame, B) looking for something very specific (jdate, veggiedates, bondage.com, etc.), C) have a lifestyle that doesn't allow them go out very often (especially single moms). However, most highly-desirable women don't date online, so you're not likely to find them there. "Networking" as opposed to "dating" websites - so myspace for example - are exceptions to this and have their own set of rules. I personally find myspace annoying as fuck, and have never tried to date anyone using it. So my expertise on myspace ends there. (Though there's a good discussion going on in the Forum about myspace dating methods on this thread). To find quality online, you have to really know what you're doing.
* If you don't know what you're doing, it can be incredibly inefficient. Women don't want to get "form letters" on dating sites, but sending personalized emails is very time consuming, especially when you consider that, on many dating websites, many women's profiles aren't "real". I have a friend who works for a well-known sex-oriented dating site. He told me that it looks like membership numbers are about 60% men and 40% women. Not too bad, right? But he also told me that they never delete a woman's profile. So, among those dozens of women who show up on a given search result and get you all excited to whip it out (where "it" refers to your credit card), most are a complete waste of time to contact. And many of the others aren't real women, they are various porn sites or scams that will automatically mail you back a response telling you that they don't like such-and-such a system, but come talk to me at www.scamyourwallet.com. So, women don't want form letters, but to get one personalized email through, you need to write however many personalized emails to accounts that have no hope of replying. Again, there are ways to deal with this, but this is the problem. Oh, and did I mention that on some dating websites, a woman with an attractive picture might literally get 300 emails from guys within the first couple of days of being online.
* It's easy to get into a rut online. Once you figure out a system, you can easily meet 3-4 sort-of attractive women per week. And since you begin already in a romantic/sexual frame, without any of her friends around, moving quickly to sex is often absurdly easy. But unless you've found a way of getting those diamonds-in-the-rough from online, it's kind of a waste of time.
* It doesn't really help your overall skillset. All it helps with is dates and the seduction phase, and even these are often artificially easy. It gets you used to using email and instant messenger to meet people instead of openers and transitions.
* You'll go on a lot of dates with women who aren't nearly as attractive as the pictures they send you.
I've been lucky. I met one amazing woman online, who is still one of the people I most respect in the world. But I met a few psychos too. I don't do it much anymore; I meet about a half-dozen women a year online, and I'm usually looking for something very specific. But it seems a waste to throw away all the cool stuff I learned, especially in 2003/04, when I was doing it a bit more. So maybe I'll write about it.
In the meantime, I noticed that David DeAngelo has an internet dating system available. Has anyone had any experience with this product? |

Hi,
It is pretty much the same worries for women. Some men that are online can be downright dangerous. You really need to be careful about who you meet and how you first meet someone after talking online.
There are also many men who are not of top quality online. But then again, you run into that when you are dating offline as well. For every few duds, you might find one potential "good catch."
A lot of people exaggerate on their profiles or leave out information that is important. Some guys even downright lie.
But, of course, there are some great guys online that you can find to date. You just need to be careful when dating online. |

It really depends what you are expecting to get from online dating and how honest and truthful you are when you are setting up your own profile at the online dating sites.
Internet dating is great because you have the possibility to browse around the profiles of many members and chose to contact only those that really interest you.
You can ask them several questions before going out with them on a real date. IF they are honest in their responses, you are not wasting your valuable time... |
