I've only ever had short term hookups on pof. I had two long term relationships totaling around 3 years on Okcupid. I don't know what its like now but I recommend it from my experience. Actually if I were dating again nothing beats meeting real life. Natural chemistry is a must and flirting is fun but I ain't get em all North so maybe my perception is skewed but I'm best self in person.

 

Real life is definitely better IMO. I think if you do the online thing you have to just look at it as a way to cross paths. You need to meet right off because you cant get a good read until you are face to face. People on those things are looking for a guarantee of things before they even meet.

 

Pretty much my experience with it ... Call me old school but these days Id rather meet in person as well ... I live in NYC so every once in a while u ll run into somebody u have cool chemistry wit

 

True indeed.

 

You are rather cool on net too.

 

Thank you

 

Not sure if this is unique to Los Angeles, but I have been doing extremely well on dating apps. The white women here are THIRSTY for black men.

 

Very nice to see your convos are pleasant, polite and sweet. Not sex-filled or hook-up ish. You sound like a very nice guy and the women do too. You're pulling in some Lookers, we can see. Good job there.

 

Wow!! I'm so used to seeing that type of discussion being policed online, that kinda shocked me.

 

These convos took place on dating apps so no policing. Lot of white women (at least in LA) feel this way about brothers but obviously can't say so publicly or to white people.

 

If they are trying to keep you a secret then you are basically a prostitute (to them). Get your money upfront. No freebies.

 

This isn't thirsty, just normal dating banter....

Glad you are having success.

 

Ok, I'm going to call bullshit on this!! Where are you really from?! That's total crap!! Black men have no problem getting white women in LA or anywhere in California for that matter....but especially in LA. That's not thirsty either. You come across as really creepy with your milk chocolate baby conversation. Looking for a breeder are you? EWWW. Women aren't afraid to show their interest in black men out here...get real. Your comments make me really question if you actually are a black man and definitely if you are really in California - especially LA!!

 

Yup the Tone Police are everywhere.

 

The pearl-clutching and shortness of breath is hilarious. And exactly why these women in Bumble PMs don't post their views in public. Do you, homie.

 

Apparently LA is in a drought of "real" and "good" men for some years now. From my experience of talking to LA women, men out there have options galore so they are never faithful or wanting to be monogamous relationships.

LA is full of so many well to do childless women who will give any ole dude the time of day as long as he has a stable income hoping he doesn't stray.

 

You totally missed the point. I did not say that black men have a hard time with white women in LA. You think the white women in the Bumble convos would say the exact same thing to non-black men? Get real. Even when they prefer black men, they are going to be careful with what they say to white guys since they get super insecure about us.

 

Why would you care what they say to white men?
