Honestly, it can get annoying quite quickly when men hit on me. Theres a line between a good compliment and downright harassment. .

So why do you need online dating? apparently you already get more attention than you'd like

Yes, but I don't think the people giving me attention are the people I'd like to date. What are their motives?

i've always been skeptical about online dating. Tried it out in 2015 but it only lead to nowhere. It's just my humble opinion anyway, am sure it works for others

Online dating wouldn't be so bad if it didn't involve the Internet.

Might be late to the party, as I haven’t read the full thread yet. If you’re still looking for feedback on this, I’ll say that I met my wife (of more than 15 years) on Match.com. We have 4 children together, and it gets better every year.

It’s incredibly unlikely we would have met by happenstance, despite living within 15 minutes of each other at the time.

I’m sure there are horror stories, but this is my happy one.

Wish you all the best!

Quite inspiring. Never tried it before but would like to. Any advice or considerations on dating sites to register?

I know not entirely relevent to the OP's topic but I can't help but wonder if online dating algorithms might miss certain characteristics that a good friend's observations would catch.
I met my wife of 26 years through a blind date. I don't know what a computer would have matched us based on but our mutual friend figured it out.
I understand if this isn't possible but if a personal resource is available it's something to consider.

I’ve only ever used tinder and that was around 2013. I fell in love once. And had a a lot of fun with another guy. Both fellas drove me mad. Just warning you. Neither work out for me. If you’re lucky you can find your soulmate online, maybe eharmony or some religious website ....or for example .. Asian/ INDIANS DATING

Also used to be on a sugar daddy dating site. You may be lucky and find a sweet lady there.

Be honest in your profile, and state very clearly your objectives. Evaluate other profiles and their objectives with the same realistic scrutiny.





PS:

Do Not approach this from a point of weakness by chasing them ! Statistically, there are far more single women than men, especially if you have your life together. A man that has a home, drivers license, stable job, no criminal background, no alcohol or drug addictions, is in the top 5% of current potentials, use this to YOUR advantage !

Be cautious of women with crumb crunchers looking for a daddy ....................... they can be the ultimate actress trying to trap you. Use the three date limit in this circumstance.

If a lady does not OFFER to pay within three dates, ................. run fast.
I have to disagree. You seem to have had some interesting experience, perhaps you haven’t Selected the women that will like you for who you are

My partner is 56, I’m 26 and we are quite serious with one other. Very lucky to have each other. I’m very loyal to him... we didn’t meet online, we met at a strip club i was working at. It’s been almost 3 years and I love him and he loves me.

Op, please don’t let this answer discourage you. There are genuine sugar babies out there just looking for some mutual benefits and in the long run you are capable of forming a serious relationship if in fact as the poster said, the girl is not an actress or just trying to hustle you.

Plenty of fishes in the seen. You only set yourself up to be used, it’s all about the beginning terms you decide when going into a sugardaddy/sugarbaby dating

Im only speaking from experience, nothing wrong with me sharing my thoughts and the success and luck my partner and I have finding one another and actually forming a long term and stronge bond. You don’t know us or what he and I have struggled and gone through our lives to have made it this far. Through poverty, illness and a lot of naysayers like yourself. We seriously cannot walk into a restaurant without one or two jerkoffs looking disgusted. Fuck off.

Oh by the way. My partner is the one to help me pick out and choose my Rolex I bought last week. He feeds me gooooodddd

Anyways, back to the topic before I seriously offend someone,

Op you are capable of finding a soulmate online it’s all about luck and how you present yourself. No sugar baby will take advantage of you if you don’t put yourself out to be easily taken advantage of.

Im out of this thread before I seriously take things personal.

I am disgusted - and rightfully so.

I've been around the world - met women of all kinds - and I have zero respect for you. Have had plenty of your kind - and I get asked on a monthly basis to be someone's sugar daddy. You make me smile - and feel pity for you.

However, this is not the time nor place to talk about this.

Ciao ciao

Plenty of my kind? First of all I don’t ask for my partner a allowance, clearly you have been on the wrong end of sugardaddy dating and had your fair shares of women using you.... sorry but your response says it all and it seems to confirm you something against towards women who have clearly taken advantage of you. . I found my blessing and he is my partner. I wish you nothing but the best to someday find a young lady that will love you for who you are and not ‘ask you to be a sugar daddy’

There’s a difference between a sugarbaby asking you be « be their sugar daddy » vs be a boyfriend clearly, you are on the wrong end

Because I sense your anger cause you the better judgmental and seemingly you did not read. I’ve revalueate, there are some ladies online that will accept you for who you are and if youre lucky you can form a long lasting bond. My partner and I are verrryy lucky to have each other. My partner and i are not doing what you are clearly familiar with sugardaddy / sugarbaby dating. I dont ask him for a monthly allowance. You are a victim not me. You been finessed by those sugar babies. Sir.

Keep fishing and maybe you could be one of the lucky ones like my partner and find a girl that won’t ‘ask you to be her sugar daddy’ rofl

I' not sure you understood what I said. I've not been finessed by sugarbabies - quite the opposite.

However - wish you all the best.

I simply prefer to call a spade a spade.

Yea I understood alright. You assumed my partner and I were into sugardaddy dating, like yourself. But you are wrong. Sir, clearly you are more still into the sugar daddy dating scene than my partner and I are.as you claim these ladies ask you monthly to ‘be her sugar daddy’ You have been used by ‘my kind’ and have now have something against me? You don’t know me and yet you’re disgusted and don't respect me? quite contradicting considering you still get asked to be a sugar daddy. Still fishing I assume? ... It's funny to me because you started this with such animosity as though you’re more familiar with the worse outcomes . Haven't you heard the phrase, don't judge a book by its cover?

Your words not mine.

Again I only tried sharing my thoughts with op, coming from an ex sugarbaby. It's possible to find your soulmate and be taken off market like myself, it's people like Tudorbaj who have their shares of sour experiences that give sugar dating a bad rep,

Play your cards right,
I feel sorry for you, that maybe you haven't found the one yet to have blessed you with a positive outcome to sugar dating. Clearly you been finessed plenty to have had such animosity towards me when im only trying to give op a positive outlook on sugar dating,

You're so contradicting. I hope one day you are as lucky as my partner meet a lady that will love/hook up with you not for your money and change your perspective. Again, coming from someone who claim to met plenty 'my kind' .. You sound like you're in your feelings-Based on your past and all you're probably familiar with is paying for p*****.
