And instead of removing your radius limitation (and going over 60 miles is just fucking stupid -- unless you live in the most remote part of Alaska, there are going to be potential partners in your area), try using some other dating services and hookup apps. Or go to a bar or club.

I live in a small midwest city of 60,000 people or so. Using the 60 mile limitation got me about 15 matches in total after a month of waiting. That's what I call stupid. I didn't see an alternative to opening my distance limitation. I'm also not interested in using hookup apps like Tinder. I'm not looking to score some dirty poon tang. The same goes for bars and clubs. Don't want to meet the women who go to those places. I don't even drink.

I can't. I can't even.

The idea is cringy to me as well. Hence why I don't want to bother signing up.

Dude gives solid advice. When looking for a woman, you're not actually looking for just any woman no matter how much of an incel you are. You like video games so he suggests you pursue women interested in video games. You're being difficult being so rigid with what he said instead of picking up on the intent.

I don't see it as solid advice. I see it as desperate dismissal of my concerns. Maybe you can back yourself up, and address all of the issues I brought up in the first post. If you can handle all of that, you might convince me. Not saying you have to do anything. But I won't believe you until you do. Especially with almost everyone in here backing me up on my aversion to the idea.

That sounds cool, TheCyborgNinja! But I don't see that working out for me, personally.

Messaging multiple women could be 2 or 200. We dont have enough information here. What do you say in your first message?

Like I told Zeus, I was originally matched with about 15 women. I messaged one of them. (Didn't like the rest, or wasn't compatible with them.) And she checked out my profile, refused to reply back, and then ended the match connection, politely indicating she'd moved on. It happens. Since then, I've messaged 4 more women, after opening up my distance limitation. Some of them are a few hours away from me. But there's at least one chick I'm really hoping gets back to me! She's a cute disney nerd who listed tons of anime in her favorite tv section. Could be my kind of woman. =D

And yet you asked PotD for advice.

People are helping me right now. So your joke rings hollow. =P

Online dating is difficult.

Yeah tell me about it....I've had absolutely no luck in real life, and I'm really hoping to get married some day. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks and haven't had a romantic relationship yet. It bothers me. I look young for my age, thankfully. So it's not too late. Rather than pine for my soul mate every day, I do my best to remind myself that I'm very blessed in my daily life, and I should just be grateful for what I have. But it's still rough sometimes.
