That's cheap... and I don't like cheap women. They attract STDs and babies and drunken exboyfriends. You don't need that. You're looking for someone who's a dating site mercenary: she's there to find a decent guy, no bullshit.
It's okay to say that dating site users have horrible. At least half of the guys on there are total scumbags... which is why it often takes the effort I put into it to assure decent girls that I'm not just trying to play hide the sausage with them after a trip to Taco Bell.
Yeah, and dating is way expensive if you do the typical dickdance routine of dinner+movie+awkward goodnight. I'd avoid that traditional goatfuck in favor of something a little more European... meeting over coffee (cheap, short operational time frame). Even braineating zombies like something on the menu from Dunkin Donuts. Make sure to bring something to talk about... that's really the most important item.
And having LoganSnake as a friend may contribute to your lack of self-esteem. He hurts my feelings all the time.

Ya know, that's exactly how I feel about the dating sites... Most of the girls are there showing off their funbags or how they can hold both ends of a poolstick with their feet. I had a pretty detailed profile, but not enough to bore a person. I put bits of my personality, hobbies, what I was doing with my life (school/work), and the occasional sentence that should make a person laugh, and left enough mystery for them to possibly want to get to know me more. I'm finding it more difficult to find someone who's a little more serious about a relationship... (even if some of you don't feel I'm ready for one, I still have to start somewhere, and I'd rather it not just be for practice)
And, I feel like there is more competition on there than in person. I say this because, there are hundreds of guys within a 25 mile radius of the girl that is looking, so she gets to be picky and choose what she likes best and go down from there. But in person, if there is a pretty girl that's at the grocery store and you're the only one in the aisle, YOU get to show her who you are, rather than her getting to choose who she wants to get to know. That is only an example, maybe a bad one, but that's kinda what's in my mind of how it works...
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who's cheap.
Well, maybe you're not cheap, but I can pretend so I don't feel like I'm totally stingy.

Hehe, actually, to totally contradict what I posted about women on dating sites, before I seen the last two replies on here I decided to message a girl on the dating site. She's hot, has a kid, and is looking for a relationship or casual sex (or both?) So yeah, I messaged her, but only for practice in helping me become confident enough to message more women, hopefully working my way up. I really don't care if that slut turns me down or not. I thought it was a funny message, so at least I got a laugh out of what I did.
Also, I asked my online guy friend if a certain recent photo of me was good or not. He decided to post it on a female friend of his' wall on facebook for her opinion (without my permission -_-). She's taken, and she's a 10/10, so it'll be kinda funny to see what her opinion is.
