>Join various dating sites (tinder, okcupid, pof, etc) just too see what's out there
>spend close to two years using it with little to no success
>99.9% of all matches/profile views/likes etc are either fake accounts from people trying to scam me or uggos or generally much older ad desperate ladies that I unfortunately can't look past appearances to give a chance
>continue using said sites, even paying money for the premium services, and try various ways to make myself seem at least someone more appealing to no avail
How do I come to terms with the fact that I am physically unattractive to most woman and that if I don't seriously work on my personality, including that fact that I basically have social phobia which is why I bothered with online dating instead of meatspace dating; that I will probably die alone?
Okay listen. I am an attractive guy. I don't get talked to on those fucking sites either. Nothing to do with your looks.
Just go out and socialize. That's the best way I've found to meet somebody.
You know you're supposed to be messaging the girls you like, right? The girl to guy ratio is like 1:100, they aren't gonna come to you.
Paying on those apps and sites doesn't help ever

It took me a while to grasp this myself OP but something about Online dating that you just simply have to admit to yourself is that it's by large shit you shouldn't put your time into beyond setting up a profile and checking on it every once in awhile.
Personally the only women i've had "luck" with in the medium are the ones who just flat out say they want your money in their profile or want you to take them somewhere. All the rest just ghost you or write so curtly it's like you're the one wasting their time instead of the other way around.

This is a premium example of how some people think that their experiences of the world also applies to everyone else
Can confirm this depends on age, location and HOW your talk to women.

Go to the farmer's market, learn how to hang-glide. Wait for the tinder they're going to make for all of the decaying 40-something millennials, you might have better luck then

Women get lots of messages - figure out a way you can stand out from all the other guys and you will be fine.
If you want to succeed at online dating search google for a guide on whichever dating site you are using.

I know that. I am too beta and wouldn't know what do say.
But wasn't really my point. I was going by profile views/profile likes/matches on tinder. I have gotten a very small amount of it which leads me to believe I am not good looking enough to be noticed.

Are you saying I should just get a prostitute? Because it's not really about sex; I jerk off enough so I can't image a need to unload in some stranger for $200 a night

It's that way for every guy, but that stuff doesn't even matter because you're supposed to be messaging the girls. Look at their profile and message them something related to that. You'll probably suck at first, but the more you do it the better you'll get.
