"unreasonable expectations!"
Common practice among both sexes IMHO!

I say that it varies because even if a person gets alot of attention in the real world that doesnt mean that they will online especially because some people think if a person is found too attractive in their pictures that the profile cant be real or the female is made of plastic or something is wrong with her or she cant be down to earth and that's not always true because I'm real I'm down to earth I'm not made of plastic or had surgery done and theirs nothing wrong with me an I'm on a dating site I get alot of attention anywhere I go in the real world but I have a specific Male that I'm attracted to and in the real world they are to shy or intimidated to talk to me or they think a woman like me wouldn't dare look they way but it's simply not true and so the opposite approaches me in person an I'm just not interested respectfully so I figured online dating would be easier this way I can let them get to know my personality outside of what I look like and I seem to find that it's hard to do that on a online dating app so I say all that to say it doesn't matter if a person would be considered very attractive in the real world that doesnt translates that you'll get tons of messages on a online dating app especially if your not on here looking for hook ups that's my personal opinion of dating sites

That was really too long to read.


The gist is, that you get out of it,
what you put into it.

Just like in the real world.


No, that is not true! You can put a lot of effort in and you usually get nothing out. I guess it is just the nature of dating sites; most of the people on them are either scammers or aren't actually interested in meeting people and dating!
very true

yes,the dating apps DO work,but not exactly as they are advertised...

the way they work is that they make money for the people who own them,even the 'free' sites,because most of them have advertisements on them,which brings in revenue for the owners,depending o how many members they have that might potentially see the ads,just like any other 'free' site.

not to mention that they are a treasure trove of free personal information that people voluntarily put on them that can be used/sold for marketing purposes.

in case you hadn't noticed,that is facebook's business model,too,and it appears to be working out very well for them,doesnt it?

Brilliant!

So I will say that the apps are a tool to help you meet people, but also help you figure out what you're not looking for, for dating or a relationship.

Like any tool, if you use it wrong, you won't get results you intended.
Garbage In = Garbage Out
