We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious. Auto-translated

I'm not just judging based on my own experience, but also on information and statistics. And yes, dating apps are full of ordinary people. The idea that they only contain freaks and perverts is complete nonsense. The only catch is that an ordinary, average woman can easily find a man there (usually more attractive than herself) and delete the app, but for an ordinary man...

Many of my female friends and I have had extremely negative experiences on dating sites. There are tons of creeps who send messages like "give me a blowjob" (this is a real example, if you need it), along with people who are mentally unstable and raise some concerns. And finding a decent guy with average looks and a normal personality is like finding a mythical creature.

The thing is, dating sites attract a very specific audience, and normal people looking for normal relationships don't stick around for long. They either find what they're looking for or give up and leave. But those who can't find a partner or just enjoy switching partners like gloves tend to stay there. So, even though the sample size might be large, it's not very representative. In my social circle, there are many people who found partners at school/work, at interest-based gatherings, through shared hobbies, etc., and almost none who found a partner on a dating site.

Pretty much the same.

But recently, one of my acquaintances decided to try building a relationship with a woman from a dating site. She's, let's just say, a bit "eccentric." Not to mention that she gave birth around 18-19 and already has a 17-year-old daughter who lives independently. And the guy seems to realize that something is not quite right with her (and there are many things that are not right), but he's not ready to break up yet because he also sees some good qualities in her. Including the fact that she spends all her time either at work or with him (she has her own apartment, earns a good living, and is completely financially independent of him and doesn't ask for anything).
I don't even know if his example can be considered positive.

Well, if he has children himself, then it's fine.

He's 35, and less than 170 cm tall (not by much, but he's shorter than me).

Face: 6-7/10.

Oh, Nebos, I didn't expect such naivety from you.

It's okay for him, what options would you suggest, especially if he has no money?

I understand everything; my existence is statistically impossible, okay.

Monastery

Hermitage

Alcoholism

Drug addiction

Self-castration

Dunya Kulakova

Geomancy towards the southeast

Male brotherhood

Ahahaha)) Every time.

The statistics are probably based on wishful thinking about how bad women are.

I and many of my female friends (including both average and very beautiful ones) have had extremely negative experiences on dating sites. Tons of creeps who are all about "give me a blowjob" (here's an example of a real message, if you need it), nitpickers, and people whose mental state raises some doubts and questions when communicating with them. And a normal guy with average looks and decent communication skills is some kind of mythical creature.

A perfect example of how overheated the dating market is. A woman sees Alain Delon and says, "well, he's just... ordinary... a six out of ten at best."
