People go out in groups and, generally, stick to their groups. I meet new people when out with friends, but they're typically not individuals I'd want to date. It's difficult to meet people that you would want to potentially date, IMO.

Then you throw in the possible constant communication (though that hasn't been much of a problem with the girls I date - we're both busy, ambitious, working individuals). It seems to me more people go into dating with set expectations and instead of growing a relationship and molding those expectations the attitude is more looking for a perfect immediate fit, which just doesn't happen.

Do you think it's partly because people isolate themselves from "real life" more now?

Absolutely.

For some, yes. The girls I date tend to not be constantly text messaging or on social networks or glued to their phones. For me, it's been more difficult to meet quality girls and then once we're going out it's been very difficult seeing each other often. It gets to the point where we have to schedule time in advance due to both of our schedules being full with work or travel. By the time it gets close to evening out the schedule where we can plan our schedules around each other to accommodate is when it falls apart.

I think the thing some of the young 20-somethings like DaKCman are experiencing is the increased difficulty you have finding dates once you leave the target rich environments of college/school. That's always been the case.

I don't know if dating is harder now or not, but I really don't see why it would be.

Yes - that's my main difficulty: finding quality dates.

Shotgun method on dating sites.

Don't ignore my adjective 'quality'. Have I ever dated anyone just for fun? Yeah, of course. However, the majority of the women I've dated are amazing individuals. Although I know each time I'll find someone just as (or more) amazing (it happens every time) in the future that's what gets me more disappointed than anything when a relationship doesn't work out. Many of the type of girls I date don't grow on trees and they're as selective (often more) than I am.

Match.com actually has some quality women I think you might be surprised.

I'm not saying there aren't any online - there are - what I was objecting to was the shotgun method.

I'm having a drink and playing chess with a girl who likes Starcraft on Friday. Should be interesting.

I challenge Clay and billay to an online dating duel!!! They can post screencaps and PM them to the neutral party of their choosing or just post them here for all to see. Time for the call outs to be answered.

Match or cupid?

How come no one ever mentions eHarmony? Is that site still around? My sister used to use it, I think. I'm not sure whether she considered it a successful experience or not. She eventually met her current boyfriend the old fashioned way, in a bar.

It's for pretty princesses who want a man who loves god as much as them!

Pasta Little Brioni 06-12-2013 06:41 PM

Clay has fired the first salvo, can billay answer? I have received thy proof billay, now it's your turn. Let the battle begin!!

Should have turned this into one of my classic threads ROFL
