My advice.
Quit online dating, and do it now.
If you look at my posts from 1-2 years ago, I was actually a proponent of it, but I've completely changed my outlook. Let me explain.
The girls on online dating sites are not representative of the norm, not in the least. Where else do you see fat women who nearly every man laughs at think they are a catch? In my experience the online dating pool of women breaks down as follows:
85% - Fatties, 5s and below, narcissistic, cumdumpsters, trashy single moms, or fucked up in a major way.
15% - Attractive girls - You can get them if you get to them early, but most quit within a month or two. They probably get 100s of messages a day, good luck. For most guys, I think a seeking arrangement type of game is the way to go.
You simply cannot equate a 7.5 online and a 7.5 in real life. The latter, if approached properly, will be very responsive with the right type of game. Online it's a crap shoot.
Imagine being at Starbucks and spotting a cute girl. As you begin your approach 50 guys approach her at the same time and hit her up with their lines, that's online.
The turning point for me was when I overheard some whale, who mind you is probably 100+ lbs. overweight, telling her friend she gets 50 messages a day on plenty of fish. Let me try to find a representation. For the record, something like this.

It's fucked.
Now here's the best reason to quit, your own sanity. I don't care how hardened you are, after a while of firing off tons of messages, getting rejected, and having to lower your standards to get responses it makes you think your worse than you really are. The reality is, online game is rigged.
After I quit things couldn't have been better, quality has gone up, bangs up, percentages up, and I feel better not having to browse profiles from the female cesspool of society.
