Over the past several years online dating has become very popular. Many men try this format of dating or meeting in an effort to meet someone special without the risk of face-to-face rejection. The unfortunate thing is, online dating doesnt work for men as the odds are stacked against them.

In November 2003 Jupiter Research did some research into this area. The study showed that men are four time more likely then women to use and subscribe to an online dating website and twice as likely to browse, post and respond to a profile. The odds are stacked against men and strongly in favour of women.

Internet dating can of course work for men, it just takes time and effort. The best way to approach and have more success is by viewing Internet dating as a supplement to other methods of meeting women. Dont just rely on it as youre only method of meeting. Youll find many sites online that have built-up a database of users and offer a service that will not just help but guide you as well.

You need to think outside the box, basically if you really want to meet and date a lot of women youll need to use the old-fashioned way and approach women in person. Dont take this the wrong way, basically you need to not just talk to women using email, chat rooms, Instant Messaging face-to-face is the only way.

As the old saying goes, the more things change the more things stay the same.

When it comes to meeting women, a confident man who can approach a beautiful woman and strike up a conversation with her will always do better than the 99% of men who cannot. Technology might change a lot, but it will never change that.
