Over the years, OLD has grown and changed and I've tried out practically most of them. I'm also a member of the kink community, so I've tried some of those as well. Problem is, everything seems pretty quiet or dead right now, which is counter intuitive of the internet culture that has formed. Here's what I've noticed:
OKCupid: this was my go-to for dates a few years back, but ever since they made THE changes, I've not gotten a single reply.
Plenty of Fish: went browsing long ago, realized it's the WalMart of OLD, and never looked back
Match.com: signed up twice years ago. Never got a single date from it.
Fetlife: Think of this as the facebook of kink and not a dating site. Even the 'classifieds and dating' pages are zero response for 99% of men
SLS: great site to find other couples, but only works if you're a single female or couple. Met some great people here.
Bumble: I love the concept, but that didn't help me get any dates, despite how charming I was in my profile.
Tinder: I must've been late to this party, and it doesn't matter how many times I swipe right, there's nary a match.
AFF: it WANTS to be your hookup go-to site, but is flooded with easy to spot fake profiles and couples. Better couples on SLS.
Coffee Meets Bagel: didn't seem to have a bunch of users in my area when I looked into it.
I love to go out and meet people too, but a bunch of the local MeetUps are a bunch of guys doing the same thing or unavailable women. I'm actually surprised a new dating app hasn't popped up and gone viral. It seems like that's basically what has happened in the past. I know women are having an easier time GETTING dates (quality is a different issue, lol), but how many of my fellow guys out there are having luck with the OLD?
