Beef! Internet Dating
By V on Dec 3, 2007 in Community, Dates, Practice, Ramblings
Many dating blogs are advocating the use of internet dating. WTF?
There are loads of places to find girls on the internet; Facebook, Plenty of Fish, MySpace, etc. I use the internet as a way to practice my online skills. Online dating, for me, is NOT a crutch to get girls.
Being a pick-up artist/seducer/player is a way to be a better person. It’s quality over quantity.
When you’re dealing with internet dating you’ll come across LOADS of fugly girls. Not just in terms of physical appearance, but also in terms of mental appearance.
Girls will have photos from years ago, or photos that aren’t even of them.
They’ll say they’re average in size. They’re either fat, or obese.
Their stats will read like they’re your perfect girl. They copied their stats from a site like Insider Internet Dating, but for girls.
Online only dating advice is a joke. Seeing dating sites like Plenty of Fish offering “game” advice tells me this.
Internet dating is just a game of who can lie the most (i.e. photoshopped image(s), and falsified details). Then a cycle of approaches (direct-indirect).
When you FINALLY meet a “wonder girl” you soon find the truth. She is nothing like you perceived her to be. Sometimes it can be for the better, most times not.
If the girl is something special, then she has 100+ other guys sending her the same lines daily.
Yes, I know. Internet dating will be the future and more people do it every day. Well that’s fine and dandy for the majority of people. I prefer not to be that majority.
Pick-up is about developing yourself as a person. If online dating is necessary to you then remove it from your life till you get a life.

David DeAngelo advocates it too. However, he suggests getting lots of pictures before going for it.
He says that lots of hot women are online…
Either way, I prefer to develop my skills on real life.
Internet dating is good for one thing. Getting laid when you’re horny.
There are some hot normal girls on there but your window to meet them is about 3 minutes. Then they meet a guy in the real world and stop checking their messages.
If you’re online and being up front with girls and are able to find girls willing to fuck. then thats great. if you expect to find the girl of your dreams online… not gonna happen
Internet dating has/is helping me overcome some serious approach anxiety that I have had since I was a wee lad. I don’t use it for gaming per se, but more of a tool to build confidence, if something clicks, thats all the better. It is just a tool though.
I’ve found that Internet dating can be a great way to supplement your dating life. If you can apply basic PUA techniques to sites like Facebook, and MySpace you can clean up. Most guys who “approach” women on these sites are basically chumps…so it’s easy to stand out.
What are some good online aproches and make yourself standout, internet dating is chump.
If you are capable of meeting and talking to women in real life, you shouldn’t so much as waste a single second on internet dating. I read a quote once from a chick saying something along the lines of “internet guys are just toys.” Women take a guy they “randomly” (random to them, not you) meet on the street much more seriously. It kicks those romantic notions into gear in a way that online dating just doesn’t do. Knowing all this, you can attempt to game online dating, but the odds are stacked against you. As V says, the hottest girls get 100 emails a day. Also, there is a much higher percentage of women with problems online. Maybe they have a kid, maybe they have impossible standards, maybe they are just fucking psycho. I have come across them all. I think V is offering good advice here: you are better off to ditch the loser girls on the internet and learn how to pick up in the real world. Internet dating is a good start point, but it can quickly become a crutch that does nothing but slow you down. Now, if only I could get out there and actually TAKE that advice…

Internet dating is a joke!What I don’t like about it is om sites like match or cupid is that when you see a chick you are interested in,then you’ll see their profile and they want somebody with a college degree or that they make more money,you are immediatly disqualified.I wouild like to get know them on person anyway.I was on plenty of fish.I sent messages to chicks I’d liked and my messages either got deleted or never read.I got a message from a fat girl and I decided then,NO MORE.Besides the companies are out just for your money anyway.
Online dating can be kinda cool. I think social networking sites are geared toward 20 somethings and not a more mature dater. And, there must be thousands of dating sites out on the web. I did some research and found http://www.datingsitedirect.com to be a good place to start. Many sites are just affiliate doorways to other sites. And then some are just riddled with advertising to the point where it’s almost unreadable.
When you look back on your life do you want to say you read a profile of a girl or actually met a girl. I have never tried it so my opinion is solely my own but Internet dating is fucking trash.
Less than 25% of communication is what you say so how can you express that in text.
Sometimes we need to admit we are not sure what we want yet. That is why I am in this community, not to meet a series of women who have “common interests” but to find the women that I belive to be interesting.
