Internet dating never works

I know people who have had great successes with online dating! If there are guys looking to actually get the attention of a girl on these dating sites, do you have any advice for them? Do your best not to be a creep. Remember that a simple message can go a long way. We lived across the hall from each other our first year of university. We became good friends first and we only started dating 2 years later.
That was mostly because I transferred schools, but because we became friends first, we had a connection that drew us back together for a chance at something more. What we found out was that we had much, much more than friendship in store for us.
Being a nice guy is probably the worst thing to be when it comes to online dating. You are a little more than collateral damage, as the large majority of guys slather, drool and stomp their way through the crowds, scaring off most of the nice girls that arrive on these sites, as evidenced by the interview above. This experience is best exemplified by my close friend who I will call Eric.
Eric has been using a couple of online dating websites off and on for the past year, with very little success. Despite his efforts, few girls ever answer his carefully crafted, very kind messages. I started out using Match. Most importantly is that she likes doing similar things that I do.
Secondly of course is that the profile gives me some feeling that there could be chemistry. Do you think the algorithm and the other tools the dating sites offer help at all? Some of them I guess. Like, OKCupid gives you a percentage of match or non-match you are with certain people. Do you have any advice for women out there who use online dating sites and might be reading this?

I met the love of my life my second year of college, and was married before I graduated.

As a woman on an online site, personally I want the man to make the first moves for the first few times.
Women like to be pursued and men should initially be leaders that way. Well, lets see, I live in Boise, Idaho. There's a starter for you! It just plain stinks here. I am a almost 55 and in good shape, yes, that's someone else is perspective. I was married for 24 years: I have dated many women I found "attractive". I don't think so! Do women have to settle?
Online dating here in the Treasure Valley is exceptionally bad due to it is very family oriented atmosphere. Most women I found I was attracted with online websites to other than their physical attributes is their profile. Many women are either bombarded or the file is fake or maybe my profile and images need adjusting? I'm not sure, dating right now at least with online dating is at an impasse. I do understand the pool becomes smaller the older you get. Women in the old days were very old fashioned and real ladies which the great majority of women really were at that time. Today quite different and Not ladies at all either.
Good guys seem to think good women are looking for assholes. So perhaps good women have a reason to be cautious all around.

Try reading this article: I tried online dating for a couple of years. I spent time writing my profile, adding pictures and trying to accurately list hobbies, etc.
It will be a waste of time for both of us. I have tried online dating on and off for a year, 2 years after my divorce. Good luck out there everyone! I just deleted my profile on OKCupid and I'll tell you why I have also found that the guy who says he's the "nice guy" often isn't.
I wrote crafted messages, carefully read profiles and was always respectful. I did not write to women who said "don't write me" for criteria I didn't meet.
