The problem I have with OLD

[redskinsfan92]

My problem with OLD is not the women or myself. I knoelw what works in a profile snd what doesn't. I know whst first messages work, znd which ones don't. I've gotten multiple dates in one week on Tinder. No, my issues are these apps, websites, and companies. DON'T GIVE THE A DIME!

They are scam artists. They have no interest in their male users having real success. They want you to think it is working so you keep using their site. So you keep paying them on generating advertisement traffic.

Example 1 is Tinder:
Tinder controls what matches are available.
Tinder creates fake profiles and matches you.
Tinder only gives you 100 likes a day, then a pay wall. It gives women 1,000 likes a day.
Tinder chats with fake profiles.

Example 2 is POF:
I caught POF not sending my messages. I was literally one message away from securing a date, but suddenly no replies from the girl. Discovered the website wasn't sending my messages, but was saying it was.

Example 3 is Zoosk:
Zoosk has fake profiles message you, then you must pay to reply. Then you get no reply and find out it is a fake profile upon closer inspection.

Example 4 is Bumble:
Mostly fake profiles

Example 5 is eHarmony:
No explanation needed. What a joke!

What’s point of worrying about it?

If you have a problem with online dating apps don’t go on them..

But but we're all 'equal.' Equality = tyranny. Wasn't even a word 1700s.

Match is notorious for this too!

If you click on users online, you'll see unpaid users shuffled to the front and paid users shuffled to the back.
This is how they keep people constantly paying for a subscription.
When I used to be a member, I noticed my profile getting more attention the closer it was to the subscribtion renewal date.

With POF I had that happen a few times too. It seems to have filters for certain words and if you include those words in it the mesages acts like it sends but doesn't.

But this is a rookie mistake anyway. Your goal should be to send a few messages and get her number so you can take it offline so you dont have to worry about any of that BS, not try and set up dates through the site.

I'd typically get their number by the 3rd or 4th mesage back and forth with somthing like a 90% success rate.

You wouldn't know what to do if you got a date OP....you have no confidence and no style....learn to cold approach.

POF, 2/3 of profiles are no longer active. The attractive women are usually bots and catfishes.

Not my experience.

Not arguing there. I have gotten dates and had no clue what to do. Which is why I am here. I see my faults and I will fix them. My eyes have been opened to hypergamy and nice guy syndrome. I have learned more from The Book of Pook and The Rational Male thsn I have from any other books. Now, the real struggle begins. Practicing the cold approach. That really is the next step.
