It wasnt as bad ten to 15 or so years ago, even 5 years ago. Problem now everyone has a smartphone which makes it so much easier for a guy to sign up or a woman signing up just for validation.Online dating is a sh!tshow. The women are sh!t, the men are sh!t, everyone involved are sh!t. Looking at the insanity from a neutral perspective really emphasizes just how absurd it has become, for both genders. Everyone is a loser.
I di notice the quality of women have gone way down hill on old. I don't mean just looks but more baggage and all. 10 years ago the quality of women was much much better and less effort was needed to get a reply or dates. Little effort needed.
I think a lot of decent people have been scared off old. From what women tell me around here they get bombed with guys all age ranges and creeps too and seems to have got worse.
Quality even over the last 2 years way down but you still have the same ton of guys and more competing. Like around here it's like 10 guys to 1 on old from what the women tell me about the bombardment of messages they get.
