This is something I've struggled with my whole life. When I was in high school, I was very shy... didn't really talk much to anyone except a few people at school and my family. So naturally, when I got a computer, I immediately took to creating online profiles and doing online dating. I was quite good at it and have had many great eFriends.
However, that's where it ended, I never met any of them in real life. However, it wasn't a waste of time. If you have good intentions, you can learn a lot about the opposite gender through online dating. Yet, I've also realized that online dating is never going to find me the woman I want to marry. The woman I want to marry would NEVER join an online dating app. Why? Other than FB Dating, they all charge money to use their service, to me... that is prostitution. And that's why it's a waste of time, they only want your money.
I highly recommend all men on here to delete your Tinder, OK Cupid, or Match profiles. Do not support a corrupt society. It is human trafficking.
