It all seems very competitive and unless you look like Channing Tatum, earn £500,000 and can somehow convince a girl to fall in love with 1 message then it's really quite hard.
Even more true in rural/sparsely populated areas (in my experience). I also find it's quite easy to see through those women only interested in an 'Instagram' type relationship and therefore they are not for me.
Lastly there's loads of women who demand arty pictures, a witty bio and original banter but their profiles are a collection selfies in front of a wardrobe, no bio and their chat is s
te. The problem is if they're remotely good looking they don't have to do anything so you end up as 1 of a hundred in their inbox, they pick the one with the best pictures and a copy/paste bio then complain there's no good guys out there.

In regards to platforms I find "hookup" apps like Tinder to be far better.
Not just for finding sexy time but for meeting a long term partner.
Match.com, which I've recently paid a subscription to, is a waste of effort as far as I'm concerned.
I should provide some context however, I'm 27 and have stated that I do not want a partner with kids, which seems to omit 80% of matches in my area.

I've heard Match is not really worth it. I'm 34 and would discount any matches with children, doesn't seem unreasonable, even more so for a 27yo. Not just for finding sexy time but for meeting a long term partner.

I'm sticking with Bumble as I hate the thought of coming up with one liners just to get their attention and be deemed worthy of a reply.
A mate of mine is on one of these apps every waking hour. Gets plenty of action out of it. Puts in a good couple of hours a day sending messages back and forth. All was going well until a knock on the door with a +ve pregnancy test... oh dear.
Knocked the wind out of his sails for a couple of weeks but back in the saddle now. I don't know how he has the energy tbh!

I'm talking to a girl on tinder, seems nice, 25 y/o running her own business.
She just told me she has a child, and if that's an issue then I shouldn't bother.
I'm 27 y/o and have no kids, no real responsibility, and acres of spare time/freedom.
Should I progress things?

You're not the first to go down that route. People have pasts, and complicated lives, and stuff going on. If it doesn't appeal, then don't go there, but I'd say not to let it deter you at this stage.

That's one view, and is especially important if you're maybe a bit shallow. If not, why not give it a go?

That does sound reasonable, I guess a date wouldn't hurt. You're not the first to go down that route. People have pasts, and complicated lives, and stuff going on. If it doesn't appeal, then don't go there, but I'd say not to let it deter you at this stage.

Tell her she should have kept her legs closed and then reject. She just told me she has a child, and if that's an issue then I shouldn't bother.
