Sure. When Backpage shut down, Match.com decides to completely shift its decades-old business model of legitimate dating to advertising hookers and escorts.
This is another one of those posts where I sincerely hope you're a troll, because being this stupid is tragic.
First, I'm not saying that Match has shifted its business model; I'm saying chics may be using it for that purpose.
NJB I guess O got bored of trolling. My therapist thinks people troll here because they are angry at themselves for clubbing. I'm over that. I love them titties!

A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.
I feel like online dating is such a wasteland LOL, but I have personally heard of some people having good experiences.
From my pov all the dudes just wanna get laid for free or cheap not really investing time nor money. I ain't got time for that. And no offense, but a lot of people who are on the online dating sites long term have something fucked up or wrong with them. not even trying to be a cunt just being real
^ oh and when I say a lot of them have something wrong w/ them. I mean beyond like normal avg person flaws. Like something that is a huge dealbreaker that nobody would put up with long term or at all even.
ok I was never on any dating site for long. I have tried multiple ones short term ages ago and deemed them to be a waste of my time. So I don't know about all the types of guys on these sites. What I can say is many of them are fucking jobless or make hardly anything. Or there is just something about their personality that is intolerable.
Idk maybe there is some luck involved with online dating or it is just weeding through a lot of people? Regardless, I just couldn't be bothered with it. I do hear of success stories though so I guess it varies for everyone.
Yeah I tried match.com actually like around this time last year, I think I even made a thread on it. Anyway the girl has to pay so tbh the looks department was lacking overall compared to what I saw on Tinder. Not every guy on online is just to get laid, some honestly would love to meet a nice girl, start a family one day and all that. They are just trying every avenue to meet the right one, that's a hard thing to do right, meet somebody you would like have a LTR with. And I fully understand this can't be taken seriously coming from somebody like me. I have tried also dating on tinder a few years ago with a few one off dates (some hook ups, some not) , why not it's too easy to check messages and do a few swipes. Although I feel like I do way better in person anyway, it gives me a chance to be charming where as I couldn't do that online.
Recently though I've been fucking with SA because the quality can be incredible and I don't have time anymore to make a commitment that a GF would need so I would just rather trade money for time. All that being said if I met a really cool girl that I vibe with I wouldn't care where I met them because I know rare that is. And as guy if you want to meet a girl like that you really got to be in every avenue because there is so much that goes wrong with every thing lining up. Am I wrong?
Online dating sites are a tool (but not for finding hookers...). And like any tool, its effectiveness is directly linked to how well you use the tool.
I know people who have had great success with dating sites. But, those people wrote ad copy to clearly communicate what they wanted, they picked their pictures carefully, and they made respondents jump through several hoops before a first meet. They approach it with clear goals, a system, and standards.
I know one woman who was on two different dating sites, but her profile was only visible on one at a time for a couple of months at a time, and every so often she would go dark on both. Her reasoning was that it was like selling a house. If people see a house sit on the market for a year straight, they assume that it has major issues. Because she was picky, it did take her a while. But, she found a guy that she's still with today. They're very happy.
Sites like Match and eHarmony are completely wrong for most of the guys here. They are primarily populated by people looking for long term, monogamous commitments.
It's not for hookups. And it's not for old guys who want to bed women decades younger than them. For that, get thee to SA.
I guess that is some of it too. I don't care to be dragged down or deal with someone's bullshit long term. I don't think there is a man in the world that doesn't wanna clip his woman's wings. But this is off topic and a whole other discussion. So maybe me doing badly online is a factor of A) I didn't invest much time at all B) I discovered I wasn't really looking for anyone (but maybe felt lonely in the moment I made a profile).
And by clipping wings I think it goes beyond shit like the guy doesn't want you camming/stripping. I always felt too confined when I was in relationships. And no I am not a cheater or this or that. I just don't like for someone to want to try and control me or fucking keep track of me all the time.

I think it depends on what you are looking for via this dating site.
I still say f2f first meeting better, so best to avoid dating sites, or escort ads.

I think I put to much thought into this...

I suspect that a lot of people create dating profiles under those circumstances.
What can be a challenge is the broad expectation from others that *everyone* should eventually be in a long-term relationship.
