Where are these guys looking to be able to accomplish all of that? One answer:  online. And this isn’t me telling you that, it’s the good guys.  Here’s several reasons good guys gave me to why they ONLY date online:

1. In real life, good guys don’t know if you’re single. He may find you attractive and look for a ring but single women wear rings on the left ring finger, coupled women often don’t. Why would he risk the chance, the rejection? And even for the single ones, are you single and actually looking to date? They have no idea.  In online dating, he knows for certain that you are single and looking. There is not guessing game for a good guy to try and figure it out.

2. Online, good guys have something to say. When using online dating, they don’t have to blindly approach you with a cheesy line. They can actually create a meaningful conversation with you based on things from your profile.

3. Good guys are online because they want to know about you. They can at least assume that what you tell them is true and therefore they can know something about you. They can know if you’re looking for the same things, if you have similar interests, if you live locally.

4. They are tired of games. Good guys aren’t interested in playing games. They are men who are able to make decisions, like the decision to sign up for online dating.  They know they are ready to meet someone and aren’t afraid to put action behind it.

5. While online, men feel safer thinking you don’t have to question his intentions. Bars breed bad decisions and good guys know that. They don’t want there to ever be a doubt to what or why they are pursuing you so even if they are out and find you attractive, good guys will often not approach for fear of looking slimy.

6. They don’t want to waste their time. Smart men know that blindly approaching women in their daily life in hopes of making a connection is a huge time suck to find the right person. They are more interested in streamlining their search.
