Online Dating Isn't Really Dating

Hey, by all means, tear them apart, I'd like for them to not be true. I've been researching this stuff for the last 5 years and those are the only statistical data I can find that had any sense of truth to them.

The only other thing I can use as proof is to show the youtube videos where very attractive males have 100's of likes etc. Not to mention my own subjective experience.

They may not be 100% accurate, and statistics can definitely be used for evil so to speak. But, they tell the closest story to true that I've been able to find.

Otherwise, why would so many people hate online dating, and so many males be talking about how they can't get dates? Not to mention almost every post on here from a woman is talking about how she can't find any attractive man in her area or can't get them to stick around etc...

I'm not saying exceptions don't happen, I myself have been able to get an attractive girl to go out with me once or twice a year, but that's such a low rate that I'm almost sure to never be able to get anywhere at that rate, considering SO many people are incompatible.

I just can't figure out a way to prove any of my speculations, or disprove them. I'd love to know for a fact that I've got a great chance at finding someone, but after spending years swiping / going out on weekends and getting very little interest, it's obvious that there's something very off about me, or women have absurd standards.

Every single video or guide or method or process that I have tried has failed, I can't find ANYONE that can give me a ABC123 method for getting a girl who is in my league to be my girlfriend, much less date me.

I don't even know what women want anymore outside of a hot guy that will give them emotional connection. I literally cannot find anything that supports any other argument. When I go out, I see all types of couples, usually both are over weight, and then the other half are pretty, but in between occasionally you'll see a not great looking guy with an absolutely gorgeous girl, and vice versa. I feel like I'm smack dab in the middle of all the groups. I'm not hot, but I'm not ugly either. I don't want to date ugly girls, and I don't need a hot girl, I just want a plain girl, and they don't want me.

I've ever tried the whole "ask women" thing and lol that was hilarious. They all attacked me for thinking because I'm in shape or make good money that I am somehow entitled to a woman that isn't fat... That just goes to show their incredibly ridiculous standards, ones they can't stand being called out on.
