Here’s some honest advice - DON’T

So the weasels who come up with these sites are basically out to exploit your loneliness and expose you to the very worst people out there based on some dubious “algorithm” some moron of a nerd cooked up.

Case in point - I tried tinder and okcupid based on recommendations for about half a year (before i finally went my own way) and the sorts of people you’ll go out on dates with are not the sorts of people you want to associate with. Some of them are probably fine but all the women on there are broken. I’ve been on dates with:

  1. A cutter who fucked literally everyone she spent more than an hour with but then called and messaged and begged to be taken back in. (And then the “insufferable bitch” cap went right back on.
  2. A paranoid bipolar woman who vacillated between saying I was the nicest person she’d met and calling me a deranged, clingy nutjob (actually normal behaviour for single women over 32)
  3. A creepy, lonely girl who’d been rejected by her family and now mothered everyone she met
  4. A fat rich girl with no sense of humour or talent who thought she was the absolute tits (actually pretty normal behaviour and the least creepy)
  5. A plain jane working girl who was convinced that she knew the right way to do everything then got drunk alone at bars and then messaged for attention.

Be aware that they’ll send you creepy messages and call at fucking 1am months after you’ve broken off comms. I’m constantly worried about running into one of these lonely twisted gremlins on the street. Jesus desperate women are gross.

Guys, stay off these sites. If you feel lonely, take a friend out for burgers or get a dog. Or engage with your community- you’ll be shocked at how good it feels to pick cans off a stretch of highway with your local soccer club or clear loose branches off old people’s homes with your office’s good samaritans group.

Just stay off these sites!
