"Pain in the hole unless you are on a shit ton of money and look like thor you are wasting your time " The thing is, I don't even see it as being down to something that shallow. For me its the juggling act of your time / commitments / personal development / work. Having someone's needs and emotions constantly fluctuating on top of that fine balance seems to be too much for me. They say communication is key but no matter how you dress it up, people just don't like to be told no (or lets compromise)! | |||

"Social dynamics have changed so much over the past few years. Gone are the days of going out and chatting someone up. I think life is just so stressful and relationships as a whole have changed. Social media and phones have a lot to answer as privacy and space is much harder." true everything is at a touch of a finger | |||

"Dating these days just seems ridiculous. Once upon a time, you talked face to face. You met people in various ways then you asked those people out on a date and they said yes or no. In some cases you did the whole "lonely hearts" thing but I recall people turning their nose up at that. Either way, you had to interact with other people to get anywhere. These days it seems like people are incapable of meeting others unless some sort of app is involved. Seems like everyone is waiting for that elusive match up on whatever dating profile they have. Society has also changed as well so thats not helping but damn, given what I'm seeing I couldn't be chewed with any of it personally. It would be easier to stay single rather than be judged by random internet strangers with unrealistically high standards. No wonder birth rates are going down. " I think you are right , with so much choice on the apps people are way more picky. I’ve met some really nice people on dates but there’s always something that bugs me about them and I just think to myself carry on until someone perfect comes along, or just carry on dating them for a while but don’t have sex. I also aware the older I get the less attractive I am as a potential partner but my own standards actually get nighter. So probably destined to be single | |||

"I’ve been single well over a year and think I’ve thrown the towel in now Canna be arsed I’ll stick to my cats instead. Perhaps get a couple more and be a crazy cat lady " I'd highly recommend it. There's too much choice, and too many avoidants out there. People enjoy the fun but at the beginning, then 3/4 months in they move into the next one and repeat. | |||

" Its almost impossible to get a date face to face now. Pandemic aside, everyone is glued to their phones and even a simple hello can get people backing up as they aren't used to real spontaneous conversations. I've worked with guys who had a massive hit rate on dating apps but then get nowhere as they can't converse organically and all the banter they can type melts away in real conversation. I've done the online dating thing on and off, but I live 10 miles from Heathrow so I have all but given up on it. I have made friends with a couple of local grey squirrels who hang around mine though, so it's not all bad. | |||

It’s hard to find someone who’s got their emotional shit sorted, and who is honest.

"It's only hard if you make it hard x" This. I don't go on many dates, and not really looking for anything serious right now, so maybe I'm just not doing the difficult bit, but a coffee, drink or occasional dinner (or game of darts, my new fave!), without expectation that I've found true love, is really nice. Sometimes there's a spark and a second/third date and sometimes it's a hasty retreat, but getting to know people should be fun. Haven't had the same experience as some guys above about questions about money etc, which is obviously awful and can see why that would make anyone cynical and jaded. But keep going, OP! | |||

"The online dating game seems to be just that a game. I played the game for a year and had 3 semi sensible relationships doing it (definitely no one nighters or serial dating). In general as has been already stated some folk have got massively unrealistic expectations - almost all are carrying heavy emotional scar tissue (myself included). If you think about it - it's not setup to succeed!! How would they generate revenue if every person found their new partner straight away and left the site? When I gave up on "dating" and concentrated on things I actually wanted to do for myself I met "HER" and she is the best thing that's ever happened to me. To top it off she is as much of a deviant as I am so proper HAPPY DAYS " Glad you found a good ending | |||

"I think it's a great experience if you can relax yourself into it People pile so much pressure on themselves and others, often enter dating with cynicism, trepidation and 'looking for things' Expectations are often so particular that dates rarely meet them We tend to look for what we don't like as opposed to what we do, the smallest faux pas can be a trigger I don't think I've ever really dated, I've just enjoyed hanging round with people and getting to know them 3 of them have turned into long term relationships I'm also friends with a couple who didn't make it that far" Yeah I'm with you on that, if you can't be friends, fuck n forget. | |||

"To be honest, being ignored and rejected isn't hugely laborious. Who wants rejection. Fucking depressing Well, true. Still, at least it doesn't involve a lot of work on your part and leaves you free time for other things. Yes, I'm trying to find the positive. " See what you're trying to do there | |||

"Pain in the hole unless you are on a shit ton of money and look like thor you are wasting your time " Some women value intelligence too. They are not shallow and fickle as those who covet bulk - whether in the wallet or muscles. Maybe change the game and the results will be different? | |||

"If I could take all the bits I like from different people I’d get the perfect date. No individual person ticks all my boxes. I’ve been on Pof and end up getting messages from people from Fab. " This!!! It's all well & good having sexual freedom & less judgment to see a few people before looking seriously, but in a way, we screw ourselves over because we're highly unlikely to find all of our desired attributes in one person...then if we do, we don't match enough of the other person's criteria!! It's a total headfuck | |||

"I was dating someone recently after a long time out of the scene. Not that I was a serial dater to begin with! You get out as much as the effort you put into it. Rather like this place. Anyway she decided we take a break… polite way of ending things. So back to fab life for a while… " They have the power to do that ok , l don't really agree with you on the you get what you put in part , l have went on ...l don't anymore..dates and to say they were a complete waste of time would be an understatement ..l knew within 10 seconds or less that it wasn't gonna go further...the eyes tell it all | |||

"I don't think today's youth know how to date no discos, few night clubs. Mass pub closures over the last ten years. Covid restrictions put a nail in the coffin. Swip left or right and meet on a street corner seems the in thing these days. Single mums have been around for eternity but today's youth seem to have made it a legal trade for family life. " Saturday night nightclub....virtually non existent these days | |||
