I can't remember the failure sites but zoosk seemed like it had 100% men and nothing but fake/inactive female profiles. match.com seemed like it had zero active female accounts and it constantly asked for money.

pof is flooded with fake profiles and women who just window shop or aren't interested in relationships... 99% men 1% females

okcupid has a nice system of question but a lot of them seem so completely irrelevant to dating like gun control... seriously, it's DATING, not a political platform. Maybe in america it has meaning like you could go to a gun-control state but in europe it has no place there. Again... 99% men 1% females.

I made a fake female profile on okcupid and holy shit, the number of replies! I could tell from 50 miles away... the insecure men who got rejected 24/7 but genuinely wanted relationships, good men who get dates, men who make small lies in their profiles, douchebags who just want to hook-up... I can see how women get lied to. I know men behind the scenes, women don't. It's sad... but it was 100 times easier to get a date and the ammount of messages from ''creeps'' (I.e. people who wanna send dick pics or such) was barely 5%. Not even 10%. Women exagerrate when they say how so many men are creeps... or maybe it was because I put a half-decent profile whereas women who put boring stuff (boring for men) like ''I am an intelligent fun bubbly curvy woman, creative and kind hearted, ask me if you wanna know more''... good men are gonna skip these airheads and of course they're stuck with the creeps. Women should try setting up fake male profiles and see what it REALLY means to have difficulties dating. They should pay attention more and stop giving chances to men who lie. Truth is that most men don't have that much to offer... and neither do women. I think both men and women put very high expectations and we end up either not dating anyone at all, or dating and being disappointed/lied to. Maybe by the douchebags who play women all the time or bitches who play with men's hearts. I had my own share of catfish... it sucks.

But seriously, 99% men 1% women... women have no right to complain. I'm not saying it's easy... but be grateful.

Generally, all dating sites are the same: everyone is trying to buy low and sell high. That is, there are a lot of people who want perfection, and are not actually up to that level themselves.

My favorite post on one of those dating websites:

Looking for an emotionally and financially stable man, height proportionate to weight, with herpes.

No comment.

I have had a few dates from those websites. One date was with a woman who said she weighed 150 pounds. She weighed twice that. "I guess I gained a bit of weight since I talked to you," she said..As dates go, it wasn't bad. There was no mutual attraction at all, so there was none of the old "OK, what should I do next?" nonsense. We spent the evening just being ourselves.

I've had a lot of conversations online, which always sort of peter out.

There's one website, plenty of fish, that is free, well, sort of. It's no better or worse than any of the others. And in the end, when you get disgusted and give up on it, you won't have lost any money.

Recently spent 4 weeks with agnosticmember. Didnot result in a long term relationship. Have tried dating sites. Haven't met right guy yet.

Years ago, (more than 10) when Match.com was free to start, I met a wonderful woman and we had a great 9 month relationship but it didn't last. I recently went back on because I saw, "Free to Browse." It was a lie, they made me answer all these questions and jump through hoops to get signed up and then I got to a pay page and couldn't get around it. I was pissed at the deceit. I've gone on a couple of dates with other sites but sometimes the email stage doesn't translate into having chemistry in person.

Match, tinder, POF, eharmony, and nope! Waste of time!

A lot of them over the years and they are mostly filled with golddiggerz and wannabe models and fakes. Now while this site has a section to allow the ability to try dating its a great site for all things and all subjects of discussion. That and all these sites look for you to pay them for there lack of actual matchmaking abilities

I've tried okcupid and Tinder. I've made one friend from there.

Plenty of fish was full of old boots and tires.

My now 16+ months Pen Pal from Plenty of Fish

I have tried them all, and I stand by the statment that I have tried them ALL. My success rate has always been 0, because I have never given them a dime. I might not recieve many repleys here, but at least I know the potential to recieve them isn't hidden behind a pay wall.

there all about money

Match, POF, eharmony, and no I didn't find any love or frienships

I have been on Mingle, POF, OKC, Elite Singles, Zoosk, EHarmony, and Match. I don't like paying money. I have tried a few local sites that cost dearly and did not get any better results. I've had one friend come out of it, or one person who still has my number who I haven't blocked.

I had success on one years ago, "Soulmades" I think it was called, long gone. Relationship last 4 years, 3 of them were great. Then we moved in together, bad move. Oasis Active has yielded only bad 1st dates for me, never anyone I would go out with twice. POF I have made about 8 friends from, just friends, they have all gone off on other relationships. One of these is great to discuss many of my crazy ideas with, others have some things in common. But no spark with any of them.

Glad, never tried any dating sites, and never will after reading all the comments/inputs from all of you dissapointed love seekers. I like this site alot.
You get to know so many bright, inteligent, funny, decent and honest people. I learned so much from so many of you. Good luck, everyone! Keep trying, you may find that special someone at this site.

match.com. It worked. I'm at my new Catholic girlfriend's house right now!

I agree with some of you most of the dating apps like POF are garbage. Too many scams. Sadly I guess fewer women care to try online dating since they just have to walk into a bar or wherever and the men line up.

Plenty of fish, eharmony, zoosk, okcupid...

Oddly enough I went on a date with one guy from POF and didn't really feel it but we stayed friends and he ended up marrying a friend of mine.

Match.com is a pile of camel dung.

Tried Zoosk, eHarmony, and Tinder for maybe a minute. Not impressed with any of them. I liked Yahoo from some years back and met a good friend that way and a few potential dates that never went beyond the first meeting. A big red flag for me were guys who couldn't put two sentences together, or -- and this was more interesting -- guys who were surprised that I could. Says a lot for most of the people on these sites or the expectations of such. Every now and then someone decent and intelligent would show up, but it was like casting a wide net and having to throw most of them back.

I've tried them all with 0 success. Unless you work out a lot or make a fair bit of money, your chances are slim, if you are like me and have problems like being deaf there seems to be no chance. At this point I've kind of just given up that any woman is going to care more about the heart of the man behind the health issues rather than sexiness, ability, and money.

I met my ex on on match.com, back when it was free.

Well I am a few weeks into a relationship that began through Zoosk. We are extremely well matched for each other and clicked right away. So, I would say it can work for some people, seems to be working for me!
