If you are using dating apps/websites what are they? I've tested them all, but all feedback is welcomed.

Pros/Cons? I don't need personal information. I just want to know what you like or dislike about them.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Tinder - Doesn't allow one to be the initiator, not a natural way of communicating

OKC and POF - too much noise for women

Craigslist...:huhldup:


I disagree with your assessment of Tinder.

It's even more natural than any other site.

First you gotta match that you're attracted to each other... Then the man makes his move.

It's pretty close to real life in that sense.

Nah, one can't initiate contact first.

That is simply not the way it works in the real world.

I used them all at least once out of boredom and curiosity.

Depends on what's your endgame: sex or relationship.

Pof has some pretty cool people. Pretty chill.

Tinder I hear is good for hookups. Skout is probably better for that. However, guys have to watch out for trannies and prostitutes on these sites.

hmmm I've used okc, okay I guess.
I feel like I was a white chick id have more success on there lol.
Did you not get blasted with messages when you first signed up? How do you choose which one to read? Do you read them all?

I signed up with a fake profile on POF and received almost 200 messages in less than 3 days.

I want the endgame to be whatever it is that people want it to be. If you just want casual encounters you can do that. If you are looking for something long-term you can easily do that as well. It's the noise and the way the apps are set up that has bothered me. I have been tackling this issue for over a year now and getting close to creating what I think is the best solution.

okay basically i put a pic of half my face then filled out the information out on the profile. A lot of these guys messaged me without reading my profile so depending on what their first msg was I determine if I'm going to reply or not. LOL.

Example:
"Wow, why do you only have the half your face, where's the rest?" - I wouldn't answer it because they're possibly looking for a fwb and he doesn't follow instructions because I put somewhere in the middle of my profile "tl:dr version - you should read it so you have more than hi to me lol"

"I saw that you said your sim has a better love life than you, maybe I should be messaging your sim instead" - I'd answer because 1) he actually read my profile 2) he took some obscure thing I posted on there and rolled with that, shows he's interested in getting to know me better and trying to make some type of effort

I like to be very thorough especially with dealing with online dating.

That's cool, but I am really just interested in your reaction if you log in and see 20-40 messages. Do you read them all? Or do you just pick out the ones that catch your eye first?

Yeah, once I put pictures up the messages come.

Oh if you are making an app/site. Will you make it so people can choose, woman seeking women/ man seeking man or women seeking both? For gays and bisexuals.

Also, I do like when you can choose why you are on the app: friends, dating, serious relationship, , no commitment, fun, etc

The best thing about Skout since its a mobile app is you can see how close/far people are to you. Ex. It will say 3.2mi

Lastly, being able to control who can or cannot send me messages.
Ex. No one under 22, or over 35.

I actually look at the time that send me the message lmaooooo. After 10pm, auto delete.
I actually will go through them and respond if I see anything that catches my eye.
