OP, there are no 'best' dating sites as you can see. We all have different experiences. I just do better meeting women from my social circles (Latin music dancing, live music events, the average Jane who says hi, etc), than online. I suspect a lot of it is visual related and online dating is a very visual minefield where only models, airbrushed and photogenic profiles get a lot of hits. Black guys like me will never get a lot of hits, I suspect because of the centuries old Western conception of beauty with its European and Middle Eastern cleavages (no pun intended). That's just the world in which we live. During live interaction, a person's personality always comes through and that is only when a lot of people can see pass their stereotypes of beauty and attraction. Anyway, that's my private assessment of it.

I should also quickly add that not every man clicks on all things female. Although I only date women from other ethnicities, I have moved on from judging people based on their physical attributes, and really analyze a woman's profile and her answers to questions. So after five months on OKC, about 80 likes and couple contacts here and there, I have passed on my fair share of women (who initiate contact).

Having said that, as another PP hinted, online dating is a good way for you OP to get a safe FWB (hopefully) to keep you occupied until you are fully ready to share your life again, and be vulnerable to another person emotionally.

P.S. I don't necessarily subscribe to the view that marriage is always the happy ending. The fact that another PP got two serious relationships out of online dating is reason enough to celebrate. Marriage is just a civil contract, not a determinant of long-term happiness.  [/quote]
