I did online dating for, like, two or three years. Everyone's expierence is different but after all that time, I came to the realization that if you're willing to go through all of *that* - the no replies, the ghosting, the first dates, the approaching multiple women and at least trying to write a personalized message for each, the failures, the hassle, etc for just the occasional "success" (which is rarely ever permannt), you're either a serial killer or literally can't live without having a partner. Online dating by its very nature is dumb and after a while, it just gave me a headache. I'll either meet a woman the old fashion way or not at all, idc.
