I have never really gotten the number count when it comes to dating. At the end of the day, I am probably going to forget if someone had 50 flings. It seems like a useless thing to keep a track of. Reading that article, I got the impression it was more about the dating problems of the privileged. I tired Tinder for a while but I never got a conservation that went anywhere and eventually got bored of it and deleted it off my phone.

On Ok Cupid and POF, I have been more consistent on there because there seemed to be more average people that could relate to an average guy like me. I am short, Hispanic and middle class. I have gotten dates from there but nothing ever really materialized but there was always someone that wanted to give it a shot unlike Tinder where no one wanted to give me a chance. Somehow someway though, I have been more lucky on craigslist which really surprises me. Getting a few hook ups here and there and I was almost serious with one girl years ago but I didn't feel like we had a good connection. I don't think I really fit into this hookup culture but sadly I kinda have to play this game because most people play it.

I mean I have tried to ask women out face to face when the Internet wasn't as popular but I have never been on a date with a person that I didn't meet online. I have met about 15 women or so through online dating. I should try real life encounters more but I never know what would be the right approach. I don't want to come off as a creep. I do poetry slams and have thought about asking some women out in the scene but the faces keep changing. I will see someone one night and not see them again for a couple of months. The ones that are consistent faces seem to already be in relationships.
