Thinking I should get it to, uhm, make sure, you know, she doesn't actually send ME dirty pictures either.
If you mean people to date that were in your past? I would not consider any of them for anything but a booty call (a crazy one to boot)if I was single again.

I read an article a while back written by a woman who was fascinated that dudes on online dating sites sent so many d-pics. She couldn't believe that so many guys thought that would be a well received gesture.
So, as an experiment, she started sending unsolicited v-pics to guys. She figured that they would be as abhorred and turned off as she was....
And she was wrong. The vast majority of dudes were entirely onboard with it. Her hypothesis was completely destroyed. I remember laughing while reading, thinking "This is not going to turn out how she thinks it will."

Well. I just have to chime in here. Back in 84 I wrote the program for the largest dating service in the world. And, to this day, my algorithm is still arguably the best. The only problem was the internet (bulk) just wasn't there at that time and the cost of a business who's sole purpose is to weed out their clientele "by matching them" just couldn't survive. It started with a bang, but whimpered as more and more got matched out. So, you're probably saying "ok...so what". Here's an interesting statistic. Women's appeal is diametrically opposite of a man's by age. The crossing point is 35. In other words, younger women are in much higher demand than same aged men. But after 35 it's exactly the opposite. Oh, and one final point. Never in my life did I think I'd find my wife via internet dating. But 15 years (exactly to this date) of marriage proves it can work. What are the odds of this post, my experience, and my anniversary? There are no coincidences.So I have a pretty unique life, I travel about 10 months of the year, performing jobs for a general contractor out of Dayton, Ohio. I still have a place in Iowa where I keep my crap and when I'm lucky enough sleep on my amazing bed that I never get to use.
I ended a 5 year relationship last November, and I feel like I'm ready to try and get back on the dating wagon, but I've always been inept at dating and add in my life style obstacles and I think you see my dilemma.
Anyone have experience or advice on how to best date in this crazy world? I really don't think Tinder is going to find me a soul mate, though I'm not against causal dating. eHarmony, Match.com, etc; anyone have a recommendation or a single 30 something looking for someone who makes great money and is an ever faithful old fashioned romantic?
Doesn't need to be a stuffy thread, I expect some shade to be thrown my way.
Edit: I'm a dude.

I'd put in a plug for Match.
I've been divorced for 4ish years. Was dead set against the online thing and with work and my daughter I just didn't have any time to get a chance to meet anyone. Finally let a female friend talk me into it and it was great. A couple clunkers to start with but after a month of so I found somebody I really clicked with and we're really happy. Its amazing how much quicker the second one progresses versus the first. We're 10 months in and we both kind of just know this is the one.
And believe me, I am absolutely nothing special

I couldn't find the original article, but this article discuses it.
NSFW, btw.
This is what happened when a woman sent men unsolicited vagina pics
NSFW. You have been warned.

I can't believe I read through the first page and not one person mentioned mail order Ukrainian brides.
After my divorce I used Bumble, OKCupid, and Plenty of Fish (PoF). At the time (couple years ago) was a male early 30's. I wasn't going to pay for any sites.
I had no luck on Bumble (partially due to not many users in my area). I literally ran out of people to swipe on.
I had a lot of fake 'likes' on PoF. You'd look at the account name and it would be random letters and numbers. Also, the female picture used was supermodel hot. PoF would have them removed within say 30 minutes, but still annoying. 20% of my dates were from there.
OKCupid. Met my 2nd wife on that. Roughly 80% of my dates were from there. Overall better quality date for me.

I had a friend who was in the breakroom with a female co-worker who was engaged in a never-ending search for a man.
This was back in the days where there were just a few of these websites.
She had a freebie from Match.com for signing up and told him to take it and submit it for himself.
He thought, what the hell, and sent it in.
The three results came back and number one was his ex-wife.
He found that absolutely hilarious and called her up to tell her. She didn't find it funny at all.
