"go out to bars" is advise that's about 20 years out of date, mate. However, being successful at online dating is non-intuitive and takes skill.
Of course, if you're in your mid 30's and you want to bang college chicks half your age with daddy issues, maybe "going to bars" is the way to go...
- fouc 5y ago> talk to people, do activities and meet lots of people. You missed the rest of the sentence.
- native_samples 5y agoI would tell you to take that with a pinch of salt. I've met people online and dated them. I've also met girls in other ways and dated them, now marrying one. Once or twice, well, we didn't quite want to tell other people how we met. So we didn't. We just said we met online. It's the perfect blow-off justification when you don't want to get into a perhaps complicated and messy story. People meet in all sorts of ways. I used online dating for years but it was never the most successful strategy. What did work - meeting girls at events, in bars, ideally at events in bars, one or two less conventional ways, and never giving up.
- xvector 5y agoNow I'm really curious - how did you actually meet in the cases where you didn't meet online, but hid it with that clause?
- mitemte 5y agoPeople in their 30s should be avoiding college bars if they're actually looking to meet people and have some kind of connection. It's pretty easy to strike up conversations with people at bars and events. I know people who met their long term partners on overseas tours, at work and at music festivals. Not everyone uses dating apps, not every person at a bar is ancient or has daddy issues.
