Since we all know these dating sites are an attention whore’s wet dream, do you think maybe men in general are finally starting to realize what a farce online dating really is?  Perhaps that is why the sites’ promotions are starting to sound as desperate as a fat chick looking for a donut and a date?  Perhaps men are checking out in droves and impacting the bottom line of these scams…er, I mean businesses?

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this recent trend?  Or is it my imagination?

Been there, paid for it.  Never again.

So I went through the 4.5 hour bulls~~~ and filled out everything totally honestly. A small part of the company I worked for back then was in “online dating” , and I got a real look behind the scenes. So even thought it was qualified as research I approached it as a genuine participant. Then the SCAM revealed itself.

The “algorithm” is bulls~~~. They actually regulate who will respond to you. They give you little doses. So I got the choice of 2 whole women to enter a questionnaire with . Yippie. I just coulnd’t wait for the 6 questions which – if I answered to her satisfaction , I would now be allowed to continue to communicate with her electronically. Joy.

She looked like a bank teller who was 30 pounds overweight and I wouldn’t have dated her in a million years even if we were 1000% “compatible”. but I received 6 questions and I answered them because I just HAD to see how they pull this s~~~ off. One of them was “what kind of wine would drink with a seafood / fish dinner”? I answered Red. I only drink red, because I am allergic to histamines in some white wines and I can’t breathe normally. My only allergy. As far as she was concerned, this was a TOTAL DEALBREAKER because “LOL I CANT GO OUT WITH A GUY WHO DOESN”T EVEN KNOW YOU ONLY DRINK WHITE WINE WITH FILET OF SOLE”. Rolls eyes.

Can you imagine this system where yo go back and forth through 3 sets of this s~~~ just for the PRIVILEGE of finally being able to email her afterwards? F~~~ that. E-Harmony is a joke. “Free communication weekends”. Like they are doing you a favor.

At MGTOW.com communicating is free 24/7/365.
It’s the only website where I can drink gasoline with french fries and no dumb bitch will tell me I can’t.

That sounds familiar.  Several years ago, I did the same thing as you.  I signed up for one of their “free weekend” plans and jumped through all the hoops.

What was I fixed up with?  Someone who reasonably matched my requirements?  Of course not!  It was a single, presumably divorced, mother in a duckburg about an hour and a half’s drive away.  She went into the “delete” queue.

EMalarkey wasn’t having any of it.  It dangled a few more prospects in front of me shortly before that weekend was over.  Most, if not all, on the other side of North America–hardly what I consider “local”, unless one is working on a cosmic scale.  Was I able to communicate with them?  Indeed I was–had I forked over some cash first.

Fortunately, that weekend came and that weekend went.  Aside from being irritated, I survived that time period unscathed.

After finishing the absurdly long list of questions (which I am sure are in an NSA file somewhere, now) they “matched” me with three very plain looking religious types in, like, Iowa or someplace.

I am NOT a good match for a plain looking religious over 35 female from a farm. I didn’t even bother following up.

Given the changes in the make point of view that we here are all too well aware of, I suspect that in short order, dating sites that are actually serious about trying to match people up are going to have to start qualifying the men as being desirable beta male providers and start charging the women for the right to try to lasso one of them.
