[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The skanks and scammers you find online ... are not the dating pool of women. [/quote]
[quote=Anonymous]can’t you kind of tell when a woman would be like that in advance though?[/quote]

Most couples meet online now.  The available dating pool is full of unattractive losers, weirdos, and absurdly picky singles.  Compare DCUM.  There are tens of thousands of posters, including many polite and helpful ones.  But active posters are disproportionately trolls, political extremists and insulters, even with host Jeff's generous moderation.

Men match on Tinder at a rate of 3%.  A man who swipes right on one third of profiles needs to see 100 to get one match.  Women get inundated and do not reply to most messages.  So a man might need 10 matches to start a few conversations and schedule one date.  Often a scheduled date cancels, you have a free evening, and one of your other matches becomes available.  Hmmm, she hasn't provided a lot of information.  She might not look like her pictures, she might flake, or she might be incompatible or reject me.  But she surely gets a ton of other messages, and you are sliding down the queue.  If you don't schedule something now, then it will take another couple hours of swiping and intermittent messaging to get a date.

That is the conundrum.  Meet conveniently with a questionable match, drive 10 miles for a less attractive match, drive 25 miles for an attractive longshot, or postpone until next week?

You could require a college degree, preferably graduate degree and career.  Must be weight-proportionate, same race, non-smoker.  No Trump supporters.  No huge debt.  Must be reasonably tidy.  Must have same religion, but not be too religious.  Must provide all this information and be eager to meet you, even though they don't even know you.  Nobody with options would do that.  Maybe I am one of the absurdly picky singles?  So just schedule something and hope for the best.

Without specifics, it is hard to tell whether OP was reasonable.  Maybe the man was a bitter, entitled misogynist.  Perhaps he was merely jaded from online experiences.  He didn't reply to her text, so he knew the score.  [/quote]
And then you end up with someone you don’t even like, just because she said yes to you. What’s the point? You sound like you just swipe randomly, no actual interest in any specific person. Why would anyone want to date you knowing you don’t actually GAF about them specifically? [/quote]
