Why Meeting Men Online has Gone Downhill
Not a day goes by when I don’t hear of some frustration (from women) about the online dating process and to be completely honest, I don’t blame them. Whether it’s a man or woman seeking love, the online dating method has gone downhill from when I first tried it back in 2005.
Here’s the interesting part, while it’s gone downhill from my perspective, it’s still the number one place for singles over 30 years old to meet new people and most likely almost 50% of all new relationships come from meeting someone through an internet connection.
In today’s episode, we are going to explore the DEEPER conversation about online dating pros and cons to better understand how to use it more effectively.
Let’s talk about… Why Meeting Men Online Has Gone Downhill

This was absolutely fascinating Jonathon. Thank you (I think) for reminding me that I am an absolute dinosaur! I have never been in a bar, or to a dance. Where did I meet both of my husbands? Grade school. Where did I meet my former boyfriend? High school. We all went to the same private schools and borderline cult church. Closest thing to “online dating” I have done is therapist I worked with for a few years between my marriages dared me to put an ad in L.A. Magazine, and I am never someone to resist a dare. Apparently my ad was decent because I got 30–some responses and actually went out with maybe three of them, one for several months.
I’m not chomping at the bit to embrace online dating but you have certainly convinced me that when, and if, I do I will have someone critique, or write, my profile for me! I’m not generally negative, although I have to admit I’ve vomited a whole lot of my past here on your website – probably better stop doing that!!??
Well, Jonathon, this was one podcast where I can readily say I knew absolutely nothing beforehand about the topic you were speaking about. Very interesting, indeed.
You saying F-ing made me laugh out loud and think, “Oh, Jonathon, it so doesn’t “fit” you, just speak your mind.
Can I clone you… you are such a sweet and kind soul. Much appreciated.
Great podcast, Jonathon. I always laugh about your comments, even if you use the P and V words.
Yeah, online dating is frustrating. A lot of people don’t even post a photo! They are quite lazy about filling anything out, writing “ask me later.” No photo, nothing to interest me. SWIPE left!
I’m a dinosaur in that I prefer to use my laptop because it’s easier to type.
Thank you for talking about victimhood and saying that “Blame serves no purpose.” I wish our so-called leaders would learn that!
I’ve run into too many fake profiles and a lot of scammers on the dating sites. When I first tried it in 2013, it was a lot better and I had quite a few dates. Nobody clicked but at least I was meeting people. Now it seems like everyone’s jaded. Unless we have instant chemistry on the first date, I never hear from him again.
So I’m working on myself and waiting for Meet-ups to start again so that I can meet someone organically (once the masks can come off because it’s hard to flirt with a mask on).
Well said, thank you.
