Sometimes he'll end up in a relationship for months, sometimes he'll end up hooking up with a MILF that messaged him that day. I think he's also not seriously looking to get married, so it works for him.

Had I not married a woman crazy enough to tolerate me almost 12 years ago, I would definitely try online dating. I think of it like this - say you go to the bar and there are 100 women there. You judge them just like they are evaluating you, so let's say there are 10 that you are interested in. Of the 10 that you then talk to, you get one number. That's step 1 in the real world dating process. Now I'm not a beautiful hunk of a man like motion, but I don't recall having the women beat down my door when I was a single man. Personally I don't think online is really any worse than normal dating, because they both suck.

Plus you don't have to get all dressed up and spent time and money to get to the destination, only to come up empty - not even an phone #.
