Ok Ladies, pull up a chair and put on a pot of Burbon. This is for my guy friend. I think he should try online dating again. But I bet my newbie advice is nothing compared to what you guys can offer, so Northwest, amjay,sparkles, jodi, etc...Let's help a man out!!!

He tried Match a while ago. First off about him, he rocks!! He is my best friend and the nicest gentleman ever. The thing is that he really treats girls too well. They take advantage and string him along. He is a hottie, with a lot of personality. This guy can always crack you up. So back to the online stuff. He tried it, and went on two meets. He said that the picture was not them at all. And for others he couldn't get past the emailing. And when it did, not past the phone calls. I told him that it takes patience and a lot of getting used to. But that mainly it was for fun. I want him to find a great girl, so I am looking to one of the greatest bunches I know. As a woman OLDing what advice would you give to a man? Any helpful suggestions or words of encouragement. I told him I was posting this and he will check the thread. So he will se it directly. No please girls, lets get this awesome fish swimming in the untamed sometimes scary waters of OLD!!! Thanks as always

Sigh.
I am getting tired of reading about men or reading messages from men who give up after a couple of bad experiences. Jeepers, if we women did that, we'd all be sitting home with our knitting!
Question: If he is so fabulous, why does he need OLD? Why aren't women flocking to him? That's something HE needs to figure out. What does he WANT to offer women and what does he want from a woman?

True true. There are geeks and social misfits everywhere. I am not going to argue that point. You know there are people in life that can't fit in. They can't make friends, get dates, get through college, or get a worthwhile job. They get mad about their own personal failures. They are miserable and want to make everyone around them miserable. They can't succeed in life in anyway, so these are the people that become stalkers, abusers, serial killers, and date rapists because they are bitter. In closing I will just say this one more time take care when dealing with internet nerds.

I think there are a lot of fabulous people who use OLD. I hate it when others judge this way as a way of meeting people. It is a way besides meeting someone at the bars and usually you meet just as many freaks at a bar as you can online. Sometimes people can be shy to approach others so OLD is a good way to break the ice and even if you aren't shy how do you know that you won't get shot down or you won't end up flirting with someone that's married or taken. At least with OLD you know that the people on there are single and looking like you. I've been using OLD for a few years now and met 2 boyfriends off of it and I think I'm a good catch. To say that "why aren't women flocking to him, if he's such a good catch" is so judgmental. I know several beautiful women and some handsome men who have their act together that haven't had the opposite sex flock to them. People usually don't flock to the opposite sex unless they are desparate or looking for a good lay. These catches are looking for the right relationship and it takes time to develop that and meet the right one and OLD is a definate way of doing that. In the real world people don't get flocked too.

What is wrong with looking for a good lay? I think everyone wants someone who looks hot, and who doesn't bite your lips or slober on you when you kiss them.

I guess there is nothing wrong with wanting someone just for a good lay if that's what you are looking for but I don't think the OP's friend is just looking for a good lay. Slobbering and biting lips, I'm confused, I'm not sure where that one came from.
