Might have a coffee date in the afternoon and drinks at night. If one date ends early, call up the next girl. Women can be flakey so it's good to keep your options open.
Out of curiosity how did you have time for 8 dates in one week or 3 in one day? Did you just ditch them? Three was about my max. Wed, Fri, Sat. I never had one that was bad enough to ditch.
The problem with filtering is that 90% of online dating just boils down to pictures. So, almost everything else is ignored.
From what I've seen, Tinder is more a hookup site than a dating site. It's almost like the straight version of Grinder.
A buddy of mind has a Tinder account. His profile picture is two handsome hockey players and some fat Italian guy off to the corner. Guess which one he is, and guess how many replies he gets.
Charge money before you can message anyone. It's been done before.
Also, I was apparently one of the only ones that would continue talking even though she didn't have a profile picture up. Apparently most men can't handle the thought process of an attractive woman not flaunting herself with selfies.
They just need to make it cheap enough that people ignore the payment, but expensive enough to make some of the asses keep away. Just call it the "Netflix of Dating". I mean... who hasn't kept their Netflix account alive just because they kind of forgot they still had it?
OkCupid doesn't even show me profiles without photos anymore. I'm not sure if I turned it off somewhere, but I don't recall. I actually had no issues if someone didn't have photos. PoF will still show you people without photos, and I look at those anyway.

Well Okcupid has made it a thing to not show profiles without photos in the searches but if you look at someone's profile and you don't have a photo, they'll know you visited them and they can go send you a message, etc. I don't have a photo and I've had 2 visits, both by profiles I've visited.
Why? There are a million free dating sites. Paying money doesn't necessarily increase the quality of service or the quality of women.
It's in the search, on by default. Who wants a faceless profile? This isn't a personals ad from the 80's.
It's effectively a monetary filter. I think sites like eHarmony and Match.com are too cost prohibitive for someone to really try it. I mean... one month on eHarmony is $25-30, and you can't even control your rate of consumption! D:
Some people just don't want their photos up there. My post was quoting someone whose wife was one of those people. I don't necessarily know why some people keep their pictures off, but I could see them doing it to avoid having their picture plastered, a way to avoid terrible messages (some of them message first and offer photos), or their profile might not be done yet.
Every site has their own pay model. Even Grindr, Tinder, OkCupid are charging a bit for premium features.
They may have their reasons, but most people don't want to send or receive messages from a no-face. It's just creepy.
I think this guy is trying to sound intellectual or used some sort of translator that converted his language into unintelligible speak.
Yes, but those places tend to give fringe benefits for the cost. For example, OkCupid allows invisible browsing, provides extra filters, and removes mailbox limits. What I'm saying is to take an eHarmony or Match.com approach, but avoid the exorbitant fees. Both of those aforementioned sites are around $20+ (on a month-to-month basis) just to talk to people. I think you can get people to be a bit more serious with the same price that OkCupid charges: $5. That's in my "Netflix Range".
Nah, it's because most people assume that picture-less people are ugly and/or fat. It's not like you can say, "Well... maybe the profile is fake!", because it's pretty damn easy to fake a profile with a photo too. All you do is find some girl that's on the other side of the country and steal her photos. ...not that I've done it. :sneaky:
