I did OLD exclusively for the last year and a half. It's great because it gets you dates easily from the comfort of your couch. But it's bad for countless reasons.
- Too focused on age. Most women put a narrow age window on there and if you are outside their range, even if you LOOK young, you just aren't even going to show up in their feed.
- I feel like the quality of women on OLD platforms is low. I've met some SERIOUS crazies on there. I generally don't see much above an HB7 on there and if she's an HB8 or higher, she's probably a fake profile, only going to get with models, or is just bored
- A lot of women use it as an attention whoring tool. They have no desire to meet up in person. They are bored. They get on there and sit at home with a girlfriend swiping and laughing at the guys falling all over themselves and doing weird **** to get their attention
- So many men message that it drives up women's opinion of their SMV. After recently giving up OLD, growing a pair and working on approach in the real world, the girls who will talk to me in real life (even at my current neophyte approach level) would NEVER match with me in OLD.
- Lots of fake profiles who are either scammers, or more commonly, wackos who post fake pics on there and get off on setting dates with you then no-showing, yet still reach out to you to talk.
- Attractive, reasonably sane women don't need OLD.
Yes, I've gotten plenty of 6s and 7s and maybe one or two 8s on there. However, after scrolling through 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s for a while, the 5s start looking like 8s and you start matching with them, only to be disappointed. Mostly it seems like a place for 1s-5s who think they are higher. The 6s and 7s on there think they are 10's.
Profile message should say one thing funny without trying too hard, and don't say anything more about yourself. Let your pics tell your story. Say something about what kind of person you are looking for.
