While I hate paying for shit, especially since I live in a smaller town where there are less people/potential matches in the first place, it seems like the only way to get anywhere. I deleted POF because there are way too many scams/fake profiles. I would say 80% of it is completely fake, it's just not even worth the effort. Tinder is approaching that fast. So many women with fake profiles or premium snapchat requests.

The best thing about online dating is culling many different women from the field in an hour or two vs spending the like amount of time on a really bad date. My system is this:
1. Chat for a day or so.
2. Exchange numbers to text. And exchange pictures which AREN'T on the site.
3. Talk within 24-28 hours of exchanging numbers.
4. FaceTime or video chat within 48 hours of talking. This is important. If they balk at video chatting, I'm out.
5. Meet and greet for happy hour. Happy hour is important because it gives you an out if it doesn't go well or, if it is going well, extend to dinner. Maximum upside with very little downside risk.
This is the way.
