In my experience you need three conditions to make online dating successful as a guy.

1. Location (medium to large city)

2. Great pictures

3. Moderate texting ability and confidence (easiest one)

If you have all those and it isn’t working then you’re probably not likely to have success online dating. It’s too superficial you can’t stand out.

If that’s you it can make a huge difference approaching girls in the real world. You automatically standout just by doing that since guys now all just wanna do online dating and are afraid to.

Whatever you do don’t stress yourself out over unsuccessfully online dating and becoming obsessed with it. I’ve seen guys determine their sexual value solely through online dating which is nonsensical. As soon as you start talking to someone in the real world there are at least a dozen more avenues which you have to showcase yourself.

Just compare it to a job interview conducted through text and a face to face interview.
