Is online dating only good for average looking people?

I have a friend who started online dating. He is a good looking person but he doesn't seem to have any luck online dating. I keep telling him that you don't need online dating. My friend kinda gets bumped out sometimes because of this but I keep telling him that don't rely on online dating because sometimes it can be an illusion, the profiles can be fake, don't get bummed out.


Is online dating only for average looking people, is online dating sometimes fake? Is online dating a waste of time?

Actually, finding people through dating websites is for people who can't find dates through regular channels, like bars and parties. It just gets your name out to a larger audience. He may as well try lots of different things to meet ladies besides just a dating web site. Sometimes they work and there are some attractive, genuine people out there. I know several people who met on eHarmony.com, fell in love, and got married. But he needs to get involved in activities where he is around more people, like organizations, clubs, church, group vacations, just tell him to get out there and be with the people.
Reply:Depends on the site and depends on the person. Why dont they want to meet him? Maybe he isnt telling them enough about himself? Try different sites. But its not for everyone.


Good Luck
Reply:My husband and I met on eharmony. We are both good looking people. If your friend wants to try it then support him. He will go through alot of bad ones, mediocre ones and then possibly find the right one. I also have a few guy friends from the dating service. Maybe he will meet someone but they both realize they arent for each other but she knows someone who is for him. Who knows alot can happen.
Reply:it can be fake unless u meet the person before u start going out with them and get to know them in person but just meeting them online isnt a waste of time.. and i dont understand what you mean by is it only for average looking people
Reply:No.





Anyone can get started online. Make sure you are groomed well, and take good photos. It also helps if you dont try too far out your league.
Reply:I think it depends on where you live. I use to live in Sacramento California... on line dating was great for me (I'm shy), but here in Tulsa Oklahoma... on line dating is horrible.
