Just curious /adv/. I'm an average looking, straight 26 year old male in a largely suburban area north of Denver. Kinda geeky, kinda shy. I've toyed with OkC and PoF but responses are exceedingly low. Am actually looking for a relationship, not some pointless hook-up.
Do any other (preferably male) anons have experience with online dating sites? Are paid ones worth it? Is the response rate better or still terrible? What advice can you give me?

My personal experience is that eHarmony sucks, Match is ok, but OkCupid is awesome.

Obviously, otherwise they wouldn't still be in business
Aren't these dating sites just based on looks and super picky? I mean, if you have a literal list of possible people to talk with, aren't you just going to pick the absolute cream of the crop?

No fucking shit. Why talk to someone unattractive when you can talk to someone attractive?

OkCupid

So what is even the point of online dating? You don't need it if you're successful offline and it doesn't work if you aren't.

Says the fucktard who has never used a dating site.

Dating Sites are the worst thing, only because Female accounts have the upper-hand, and are marketed more discounts to girls and such.
Guys on the other hand, theres billions of other lonely, bored, horny guys swoopong in with shitty lame pick up lines, autism, asking for nudes, asking for dates, etc. So do you feel that you can 'stand out' from the crowd and appeal her with your Looks/Hobbies? Thats basically all Dating Sites look for. How hot you are, and whethee or not your a sperglord or working a job.
I personally think its easier to hook up in real life, unless you are easily over a 7/10+, and at that least you must dress well and have a car.
But maybe you'll be lucky and find a chubby 6/10 looking for some dick to swallow up, so gamble away.

So you're telling me there's no hope? Got it.
Op here

Yeah, that was basically my point. From what I can tell, OkC and Pof seem to be flooded by douchenozzels who spam girls with "are you dtf" bullshit. I was wondering of paid sites were less horrible in that regard.
