So, as one who has had moderate success with online dating, I wanted to open a discussion around it. How it "works," should you even utilize it, personal experience, etc.

My hypothesis, thesis, whatever...is that the pool of women available on dating websites is not optimal, in terms of diversity and quality. If women have a filtering mechanism, why do they choose online dating? An overwhelming number of profiles complain about the quality of men "out there," isn't this indicative of a poor filtering mechanism. She (average frustrated bitch, as opposed to average frustrated chump) keeps choosing unsatisfactory men both off and online. Either she has a very poor filtering mechanism or she's got issues.

Of course there are exceptions..outliers. Due to "legitimate" circumstances unbeknownst to us, she joins. Some looking for husbands, on more serious ($) sites like match or eharmony, others more for relationships on okcupid and plentyoffish. Some, joining strictly for attention. Some, maybe strictly out of curiosity.

So, highly attractive women, under this hypothesis, become highly suspicious. Highly attractive women would have more suitors leading to more experience leading to better filter. I mean physical attractiveness, by the way.

I don't know about you, but I undertake transforming my life to live more fully, not just to bang hot chicks. I actually find hot, shallow women very unattractive. To me, a hot woman has it going on in almost every category of life...the way I aspire to do the same in my life. Still, I feel there is a place I haven't seen. The pool of hot, available women I have yet to swim. And I don't believe online dating is an optimal place to look for that.

Almost all my online dating experience has been short-term relationships and one night stands. I do believe "decent" people are meeting and forging long-term relationships lol. But I've never been a pure beta. Even on my most beta day, I had the belief that I'm improving and deserve the very best. I don't think I could go back to online dating, unless I was just looking for decent coochie.

What are your experiences? Do you agree? Disagree? Do you have a "system" for online dating?

Haven't had much success on-line dating. I don't live in a big city or anything and find it extremely difficult to just drive a long distance and not necessarily looking for one night stand but if it happens, cool.

I agree a lot of woman on there seem to be frustrated with men and it's almost like they made their profile out of frustration.

At this point my strategy for on-line is to just keep a profile and let the girls reach out to me. Put a detailed description of what I'm looking for and let the girls make the decision if they fit into it or not. I don't go hunting on there.....the other night though I had some girl basically curse me out because it says I want a girl who's in shape and she obviously was not. Had a good laugh about it that night.

I blame everything on the rise of beta...beta has become "normal" and it makes sense that an avenue such as online dating has risen in popularity. Approach anxiety is practically non-existent online, so men feel comfortable. I wonder if women get filter anxiety?

I do believe if you create a profile, reflecting your alpha, it is key. I've made all kinds of profiles..very honest, very silly, very ballsy. The ballsy one resonates with the hottest girls in my experience. Ballsy is to the point and unapologetic. I could go on and on about online dating, I swear I've cracked the code but its a limited universe.

This is more lounge stuff than pheromone discussion though.

I use one online dating resource and I'm thinking about changing. I use this thing called Coffee Meets Bagel, you get one match per day. It's not ideal by any means, but it's as lazy as you can be. You just have to like the person and if they like you back, you'll get a fake phone # set up so that the two of you can text and arrange a meet.

It's nice because it takes me very little time and the emphasis is on meeting up.

But so far, I do agree that the quality of girls is not that great. For some reason I seem to get paired up with a lot of foreign asians. Maybe it's their algorithm, maybe it's a reflection of who uses the service. But for someone who works 60-70 hour/week regularly, it's a nice easy way to maybe meet a couple girls.

My friends have tried Tinder, but they don't report much success with it. I've heard for ONS, PoF is a good place to go, maybe I'll try that place next.

True. There are no "digital" pheromones

I've heard of coffee meets bagel. Sounds interesting.

is that the phone app one? I think ive seen a iphone app that like that. Sounds cool. Was thinking about using it but ive forgotten about it. Might check it out again.

Yeah, it's worth a shot if you like less americanized asians.

Tinder is the iphone app. CMB is not an iphone app, but more like a facebook app (in that, it connects with your fb).

And I do lol. East asian or all asia? Also may be that in your area, lots of asian girls use it while here, there may be a different demographic

Haha, well then my area is just the place for you. So far, mostly Chinese and south Asian girls. I'd say more variety than just east Asians. I met a Cambodian/Indonesian girl if that gives you an idea about ethnic distribution.

You made a good point about it being the local demographic. It's also possible that the algorithm gives the girls more weight, so if they liked me, maybe it will make me pass through them. Given that I am Asian, they might be more prone to selecting me. I think its a poor place for casual hookups, jmo.
