Do you think dating sites help people find the love of their lives?

Dating sites are often something I don't really focus my attention on anymore. I have tried using a few dating sites in the past to meet women, but for the most part, they don't really work all too well. A lot of the time, people on most dating sites tend to be more about sex than going into a relationship. I mean there are apps out there where you can find love, but even those apps tend to result in one night stand type scenarios. And I'm by no means against that, but I would prefer to find someone I could date instead of someone I see once and we're done.

I know dating sites are usually the worst place to find love these days, as going out and meeting people tends to work best for some. For me, idk, I'm a mixed bag when it comes meeting women. Some days a dating site is what I go on, but rarely do I find anyone to bring out on a date. And going to bars or clubs doesn't yield much of anything either.

My best scenario, is to meet a woman on the go, and we hit it off from our first interaction. Because going to a bar you kinda expect to meet women, but they aren't usually the ones that want to settle down.

Anyway, that went all over the place, let's discuss dating sites and whether you believe you could find love on there or not.

Dating apps creates situations in which short-term situations are the best. The purpose of a dating app is to spend money on a dating app. it's not actually to find love because if you find love your not gonna spend money on the dating app. Dating apps doesn't necessarily increase your chances but the finding true love it's just marketing to get you into the app

    If you do not how to date in person you will have success online. You have to understand what you desire in a partner, be ready to receive that partner, and learn to peep out the real from the fake. If you bring a naivety into online dating or a lack of dating skills you will come up empty handed no matter where you attempt to date.

    I was reading the okcupid stats black people get the least responses out of every race and white men get the most and dating sites and mostly whote amd have a white culture so I hear lots of horror stories
    It’s true and the reason I went on BLK. It was much easier to match on that site.

    I don’t think this is true. I got a lot of responses from Black women on dating sites. More so then from any other race.

    Some people are fortunate enough to find good people who added great value in their relationship life as their lovers from dating sites. Most people get hookers and those that are only in for the money. I have never used a dating site and I'm never planning on doing it.

    I think they can help but most of the time they don't. I remember reading something somewhere that broke down all dating sites and apps and found that they were only 16 to 19% successful for relationships lasting longer than 5 years and leading to marriage. Some of them are designed more for easy hookups and casual relationships. Even when they aren't, they are LOADED with dudes, some of which are only looking for sex. I think it is something like 70/30 on most of them, 70% being men and 30% being women so you end up seeing a lot of dudes settling for women they normally wouldn't in the real world.

    I think it's rare for people to find the love of their lives on dating sites. I'm sure it does happen from time to time, but I just don't see the success rate being that high unless there's effort being put into the relationship and no one is flaky.
    This is exactly how I see it too. In the world where there's a lot of trust issues and lots of people are into one scam or another, they are even into relationship scams now. It's going to be very rare for you to get someone decent to love from such sites.

    And I noticed on black dating apps u have other races on there two I read somewhere that race and attractiveness plays a major part in being matched it's best for us to have our own cause these people no matter what can't look past our race I read somewhere where people will catfish with a model looking black man and a average white man the average fat white mam got more matches and they said just putting anything white in a person's profile increases there chancez of finding a mate it'd not just white women it's white washed ethnic women who are om that I give black women one thing atleast by stats they are less white worshipping but those other apps ad just white culture all the way

    I have seen a lot of shit on so many social media sites all in the name of a dating site. They are not worth the stress. You can hardly find a mate that's sane and reasonable from any of those sites. Most girls/ladies there are just whoring themselves for y
    Yeah I noticed a while back getting messages on dating qppswhere much easier then now

    I'm on blk and I have 50 likes but I have to pay to see who likes me wonder if it's worth it
    It's definitely worth it. But if your money funny or your mind is not right you won't get a return on investment because you're going to turn them off during the chat or first date. Guys pay for the Premium service and essentially give themselves more opportunity to strike out.

    I'm on Blk and haven't been able to find anybody. I'm not all that picky, but it seems as if the people who said "yes" to me live 500 miles away.

    In my experience with online dating, everybody's looking for something. But they aren't looking for you, just what they can get from you if they are even interested at all.
    This is what it it. They are definitely looking for something and that something is MONEY. It's never not going to be related to money and sex bla bla bla. I'm never falling for it anytime soon.

    If it is not sex, then it is money. I fully agree. I have never found anybody good on these sites. I never found anybody close to the love of my life.

    Exactly. I can never waste my time on such so called dating website because I'm very sure that in the end, it's not what you're genuinely looking as a man that you're going to find.

    I have never used 1, but like many of us I do hear & see some success stories , but I think we can all agree they aren’t 100 % successful in helping people to achieve their ultimate goal of finding the Soulmate of a lifetime. I think the chances of securing & finding a date is 100%, although just as “coupling” in the traditional manner does not in many circumstances lead to further engagement, I think this is probably the same circumstance for many arrangements via any dating app. At best it is another tool for singles to meet & greet like-minded individuals.
