Online dating..

Very few women live in "our world." They do not understand the counterproductive nature of being picky. In nature women are picky, but they have limited choices, so they'll eventually pick someone decent and create a family.

Women, unlike men, do not realize the destructive power of online behaviors until they're subjected to them. An interesting article https://theeverygirl.com/i-tried-bumble-bff-for-30-days-heres-what-happened/ .

This woman, finding herself "ghosted" or "spammed" or ignored by almost every woman on a "friendship" dating site... admits how "swipe culture" changes women's standards.

So, it's not that women are bad, or don't want Prince Charming, but that they do not see our world, for they do not live within our world.

Just as p destroys men by perverting normal, otherwise healthy, instincts online dating destroys women by perverting their normal hypergamy/selectiveness, which is also a healthy trait.

So, while I do not like the situation I pity women. We have such a longer time horizon. Remember this, but also remember that if you meet a woman in person, you're already past the "swipe" phase. She's met you, and now you can engage in conversation.

Smile and say "hey, how're you?" to every woman you meet (regardless of age/attractiveness), you'll find that many women are lonely and also wish to talk. Many won't, but you'd be surprised. Women ARE people.

 

You hit the nail on the head with 'reveals why she is single'. A decent woman on a dating site is gold dust, she won't be around very long someone will snap her up. Women who are just playing the game and chatting to guys in order to feel good about themselves tend to linger. The internet tends to bring out the worst in people, to be honest, and internet dating is semi-anonymous (at least initially).

You can meet great people online dating. I met my wife that way. My only recommendation would be to progress to meeting in real life ASAP. If they are reluctant, if they 'want to chat more' for some reason, they are wasting your time. If they are really busy for a while, suggest a phone conversation. Real world interaction will soon make it clear whether you are compatible or not - it can be very easy to drift off into fantasy land when you are exchanging messages and pics online, for both genders.
