dudes my age(18-22), are we really wasting our time here like all these older dudes say?

Don't get me wrong, I am just like you.
I don't have time to go out to parties, clubs and bars. And most likely, you are like me, tired of/dislike meeting wrong girls at wrong places(bars, clubs and parties).

Or, you are just see online dating as another way meeting girls

But I think we are just wasting our time here. I am serious, in my area the ratio is 1:10. For every girl, there are 10 dudes. It's a lot of competition. I don't know how it is for you, but it is like that in my area.


I got two dates here, 10 phone numbers, and chatted with over 20 girls but I still feel as I didn't gain anything out of it. I think our problem that we are too young to have a serious relationship. Girls our age maybe don't care about meeting some one special right now, that's why there are only few of them here.


If you did meet some one, share it please. I just want to know if some one my age here succeeded.

And how long have you guys been here?

This may be off topic to the question you want answered, but just the same....
I think our problem that we are too young to have a serious relationship.


Exactly.

So, what's the rush??

1. Under 25 is single time - getting tied down so young isn't always a good idea. Enjoy life, go to school, find a career, get situated, travel.

2. Bars, clubs, and the internet are NOT THE ONLY THREE PLACES to find women. Why does everyone think this? WHEREVER women are, is a place to meet women - men who are socially gifted can talk to women anywhere - Target, Gas stations, in traffic, anywhere.

3. Before you're 30 - you should have so many things going on socially that you can't keep track of the women you run into. If you aren't being social enough - then go out and do it while you still have your whole life ahead of you.

so anyone that is under 25 trying to have a serious relationship is what sol well thats bull shit i dont want the ****ing games i dont want girls who will change thier ****ing mind i want to find a woman who will treat me right and be ****in mature but there arnt any and thats because modern day society tells females that thier body is the only way to attract us males well i may be the only one but shit give me a good down to earth girl who will love me and love to be with me like i would her. basically the problem with this site is other males and females ruining it for the rest of us males cuz a lot of them only want sex and older females telling us that we are young and go have "fun" (or have sex). I hope i answered your question sir and good luck to you cuz us good guys that "women" want really need it

^^^Relax Max!

If you see go have fun as have sex, that's your problem - I know I never said that. What I said was go enjoy life and don't tie yourself down. You have decades to do that later on in life once you've already enjoyed youth.

Stay celibate for all I care - but too often in your 20's steady relationship means lack of excitement and freedom - two main requirements of being young.

Ah youth, and hotheadedness. I remember it well..

Dude, aren't you in college? Technically, there are usually more women in colleges than men. Unless you went to an Engineering school or technical collage.

If POF was up when I was in University, I would never even look on POF. Too much action at school!

i work fulltime, and i go to school part time

for some reason, everytime I find some girl at school interesting, it turns out she has a bf.

Or if a girl that shows affection to me, she does not interest me at all...

so yeah

It depends on your age and your mentality.

If you are a jerk, yes you are, you will be found out and frankly, being a jerk is a waste of time.

If you are looking for more than a hole to poke your stick out, it may be hard, because of all the jerks.

Vicious circle .. see.

Now stand up and for all the jerks that make it the way it is.

I think in this day and age, alot of young people (18-24) take life to seriously it is unreal. They want to settle down quickly, get their career on track and move out. Just chill out and have fun, go travelling and go and fulfil some personal ambitions in life. Life is for living, make the most of being single. I'm only 25 and people are surprised i am still single, it's still young!! Some people these days don't get married until their mid-fourties!
I think that's where some people are going wrong but quickly rushing into a relationship at a young age when really they are not ready for it.
I agree that alot of women on this site are not serious about meeting someone. I think alot of young men are just on here for a laugh. Seriously though, i have chatted to quite a few women and nothing has impressed me yet. Only been on here for just over a week though so who knows. Keep your options open man and just roll with it.

Internet dating at age 18-22?

What possible need could you have for internet dating at your age?

The women on college campuses were incredible and they usually outnumbered the men. The open parties, the fraternity parties. My God! I want to go back!

Here's a potentially disturbing bit of news for you. If you can't meet a girl when you're 18-22, you are certainly doomed by the time you reach 30 or so.

The only reason for a guy your age to fiddle around on an internet dating site is if you want to pick up older unsuspecting women or the garish women that consider themselves "cougars".

Meh, give up. These days if you ain''t had a couple of kids under your belt by 21, you're useless. Why bother with school or anything?

Really, you want an LTR at 20??? Really? Why? Meh, 20 something females are annoying as anything. The insecurity is deafening. Go check out the AAGuy section. If you don't text back right away, they think you are cheating on them. But good luck with that for a LTR. Have at it. If you find your dream girl today, you think you are going to be the same person at 30 and still be with that person?

Also OP, not for nothing, you're a chubby Asian dude...the odds are against you on ANY dating site. Do a thread search.

Back in the day before self entitled brats were handed everything by whining to mommy or hoping to become a youtube sensation or post their drunken pics on myfacespacebook, people actually met in person. I pity today's tweenty somethings. That's twenty somethings that still whine like little b!tches and the world is ending with this emo bullsh!t. Just stop. Your whole generation needs to grow up and experience life and not live behind a computer expecting things to be given to you. You're in for a rude awaking when real life bites 99% of your lazy brats in the azz.


for some reason, everytime I find some girl at school interesting, it turns out she has a bf..

So it's the females fault? It's not you? If this has become a repeat performance, the common denominator is you. Try being honest with yourself. Also, you can't be all that impressive OP, you paid for "serious" membership.



The only reason for a guy your age to fiddle around on an internet dating site is if you want to pick up older unsuspecting women or the garish women that consider themselves "cougars".

Oh yes, you're right. "unsuspecting women"? I'm pretty sure if a woman is dating a man that much younger, she is suspecting something and the boy better be careful what he asks for. He'd be lucky to get out alive. Now as for a 50 something male calling a woman a "cougar", perhaps you should stick to 70 somethings. Whoops, where'd he go???? Another old coot bites the dust. Buh bye.

I may be 20 but i only come on here to gain advice and experience on how to deal with relationships, what to look for, red flags, reading things on this site has helped me alot in my relationships, because whenever a relationship fails for me, i come to find out had i listened to some of the people on this site, it wouldnt have had.

...but no, i dont come on here to look for anyone to date, just read the threads and occasionally post

yea. i guess we have a few things in common..

im 24. and the ratio in my area is like 1 to 10 also. I'm in college, and asian...

i don't know what im doing on here. I've never had a date with someone on here. but i waste so many damn hours on here when i could be

trying to get girls at college.

you should get around too. get out there, this internet thing is way too competitive,,,,

1) go talk to that semi-nerdy lookin girl at school who is eating lunch by herself. she's probably from out of town and is dying for someone to hang out with...

2) don't expect to get that model looking girl. and if you're asian do not talk to asian girls,, they are probably more stuck up than blondes.

3) treat good looking girls like dirt,,, cuz they treat nice guys like crap...

4) liquid courage,,, take a couple shots before talking to girls,, it'll help the jitters

jeeez i hope u end up reading this,, i spent a lot of time on this hahhaa
