Dating sites have been developing for many years. Among them there are both large social networks, even international, where millions of users are registered, and relatively small interest clubs. You can find dating sites for serious relationships, sites for creating Orthodox or Muslim families, dating sites for narrow interests (for travelers, for those who do not want to have children, etc.). It’s hard to say how to act more efficiently. If you are unbearable to marry, of course, the first thing to start is to "spud" sites where people are looking for a couple for marriage. There, as a rule, registration is more difficult, even an interview by phone or skype can occur. But on them there are few marriage scams and other scammers. But still, it’s more important not even the site itself, but the strategy of behavior on it. But it is not as simple as it might seem. You can find many articles of happy wives on blogs that describe step by step how to find a husband on the Internet. If to summarize everything they said, then it is important to adhere to a specific plan of action.
So a couple convinced me to try an online dating site. Just for amusement, I'll toss in that these are non-christian left-wingers who hate Trump. We get along great, but typically don't talk politics much obviously.
So these friends of mine, decided I needed a wife, for whatever reason, and talked me into putting up a profile on a Christian dating site.
I put up my profile, best I could, and decent picture. I contacted a few girls, but none replied back. And I had a couple of girls contact me, and I'll just be honest, they were not attractive. At all.
So nope...
And then I got a really nice looking girl that sent me a message. Well the dating site required that I buy a subscription. Truth is, I really was just doing it this whole thing out of curiosity. I really wasn't all that hot on finding a wife. So I looked up the cost, which was something like $50 or something... can't remember. Been awhile.
I went back to my friends, and told them someone contacted me, but I'm not interested in paying out $50 for a subscription. Well this guy wired me the $50. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. So I paid up the subscription, and talked to the girl.
She was cute. Really cute. She was from Cameroon, and a life long Christian. However, that's when the story got weird. She told me she has a son in Tunisia, she was in Belgium, and she was there to marry a guy, but he decided he didn't want her son.... so now she's looking to come to the US.
The story was just too crazy, with too many parts to it, and lots of family issues. I couldn't figure out if she had married the guy in Belgium in order to get EU citizenship....
So anyway, I decided that I didn't need to pursue that any further, and let the subscription expire.
I don't think that online dating would work for me, because I'm too awkward and I have no idea what to say.
That said, I do know people, several in fact, that met their spouse online, and it worked very well for them. To me, to try and meet someone online, and have a relationship over the internet, is just a mind blowing idea. I don't get it. Seems impossible.
I will say that it is easier when you are younger. When you get older, it's hard to find people that are not broken. This is just the normal thinning of the pool. As you get older, the people who want to be married, get married, and are no longer in the pool. So if you wait too long, you'll find the most of the people still in the pool, are there because there is something wrong with them.
Online dating cites are filled with creepy people, looking for a play toy, rather than something real and long term.
I'd cite myself for example.
