My experiences are from ages 28-30. I'm done with online dating now.
The only real relationship that I've had that came from online dating was from Match. Guy I've been seeing is also from this site, although I'm not sure we will work. Both times I was on this site, I met guys during the free trial period and then disabled my account. My friend met her husband on Match.
OKC - I got the most messages here, but that's not saying much. For me OKC had the craziest guys/messages, guys on the "waste her time" challenge.
POF is where I got the most dates.
ETA: I forgot about Tinder. I went on dates with a guy who turned out to me married and two eventual crazies.
I need more Tinder reviews. I joined because of this thread and I have been connected with 8 people but only one person has sent me a message so far. Am I supposed to send them message first?
I've used Tinder and met 3 guys in the past. Two were married (a lot of married men use Tinder) and one "single" but he was socially off with a lack of social cues and asked a lot of questions for a first meeting. When you do online dating you met more introverts and people who lack social cues, but if you are in major city you get opportunities to meet people you would've never met in real life.
I have better success meeting people IRL, but with online dating you can date many men, but you risk introverts, married men, and socially awkward men. I would suggest when using these apps to ask up front these questions, in order to weed out undesirables:
-What's your location? (if he say he's just in town for a few days, he's looking for a hookup)
-How long were you married (Don't ask them straight up if their married because they will say no or change the subject, just assume they are married, until they correct you)**I would suggest asking this question again if you meet**
-Do you drive and have access to a vehicle? (this question tells you if the man has money indirectly because here in NYC most people don't drive or have access to a car, and it weeds out broke men).
-Ask they what's your intent/purpose on Tinder?
-Try to set up within 2-3 days of messaging, in a public place at all times (this will tell you if its a catfish situation and are serious to meet. If they give you an excuse for not meeting within the closes weekend, he's BSing).
