    Me personally, I could never trust a guy I met off a dating app. Bc at the back of my mind, I’m always going to wonder if he still uses or not. I have so many male colleagues who would redownload dating apps whenever they’d get into an argument with their gf/wives… or even when they’d just have a “break” bc they just love the convenience of having a buffet of women on their phone. Smh! A lot of em also said they find women who use apps as desperate so they treat them as such. Please ladies be careful. We live in a very evil, condescending world.

      You as a woman be the one to get in trouble for the wrong that they do. They use you are desparate excuse because they like the thrill of having options. They dont want to settle down . The simplest answer is the actual answer to why stuff happens the way that it does. I stay off of them to avoid problems nothing you can do about it.

    Tony is not lying ! I’ve only had a short lived experience with online dating and from that I determined it’s nothing but crazies, perverts, and predators up there. It’s probably 1 in a million chance that you’re going to find someone on there who is completely sane and want a serious relationship as well. Ladies be safe and aware !

    I tried online dating many years ago because I met couples that kept saying they found their spouse on there and said I should try it. After watching this video I realized there was absolutely something off with all of the couples that met on there. Lesson I took away was always think about the people that offer you any advice and how their character/personality is as people. Another thing is A LOT of people settle and mask it as happiness

    I finally gave up after this last try. I used a reputable site, background checked the guy before meeting, did not sleep with him, and didn't even kiss until the third date. We went on 4 dates, out in public. I came over to his house for a 5th date and he pinned me to his bed and wouldn't let me get up. He was also doing weird stuff that he hadn't done before, like grabbing me really hard and biting me. I made an excuse about not feeling good and told him I had to go to the bathroom. He let me get up but would then not let me leave his house. He blocked the door and wouldn't let me leave! I literally started to think he was going to kill me. It was terrifying. I told him I texted my sister his name and address and if they didn't hear from me by a certain time to call the police. After hearing that he finally let me leave. I blocked him and reported his profile. Thank God I never told him where I live! I'm so done with online.

Absolutely not. Bottom line ladies: weed out the dusties on AND off line.

    After exchanging numbers, I had a guy call me, spoke for an hour and legit asked to come out on the following day and after I said I already had plans, he asked “what about tonight?” Like, wow, what’s the rush?! So Tony makes a good point of guys who are online and rushing through everything just to meet someone at the drop of a hat. Be careful of those men! They aren’t looking for a serious relationship, they are looking for quick and easy! Unfortunately, there are some people who view ‘moving slow’ is a waste of time. It’s a red flag when someone is impatient and can’t understand when they encounter someone who isn’t comfortable moving at lightning speed.

    3. Get you a VIO number like a Google number
    4. Talk for 10 hours, not text
    5. Make the 1st call be on FaceTime
    6. Allow the man to initiate a date in a public place after a month
    7. Take a Uber and make sure you are not being followed
    8. Have 10 in-person dates around 2-3 hours
    9. Fully vet before an at-hone date after you become a item
    10. Evaluate the person every 3 months

    It's a good advice not only to stick with online dating. Like, you CAN find someone online, not everyone in the apps and sites are there just to play or get as many women as they can. But be open, look around you, meet new people and don't put pressure to yourself. Have a date with someone you met online, what's the worst thing that can happen? If it doesn't feel right, delete the app and try something else. It's not all black and white. This video was fun and interesting, thanks! ❤️

Do not meet up so quickly at first, Talk/FaceTime on several occasions before leading up to the date. Be careful,stay prayed up, meet up in public,let love ones/friends know of your location, remember to protect yourselves and think smart. 💯💯💯💯‼️‼️

    #1 Online Dating Rule: Don’t Online Date. Lol…
    Seriously, though, I know peeps that have met online and have gotten married. But after being persuaded to online date by my friends that were already in committed relationships, these guys online were INSECURE, some were rude, lusty, and seriously lacked confidence. It’s a no for me. However, like Tony said, only do it if you have absolutely no mother choice.

    Tony so many thoughts and questions have come up about this topic. First of all I absolutely hate online dating. I’m not desperate at all. It just seems like there are no other options and I live in a major city. I go out by myself all the time because it’s something I enjoy. The problem is men aren’t approaching women 🤷🏽‍♀️. It’s like everything is online and now the masculine women are pursuing so the men don’t have to do anything. Yet I know a lot of people who have met they’re partner online. I’m torn 🤯 cuz I don’t know where a good man can find me.

Where I live at honestly either the men not my type or afraid to approach. It's not the way it use to be. I believe with the me too movement has got men to completely won't even compliment women no more either. It rough out here. In person isn't so easy the way Tony is making it sound. It depends where you live at.

    I started doing stuff online after my cousin got a divorce and began to date immediately. Initially it was done for fun. After a while I started to notice a pattern in the men. They were socially awkward, self-employed/Uber drivers, truck drivers, men who created and alter ego of what they want it to be, or old men posing as young man.
    When I came to that realization I knew that you had to dismiss people quick. That’s the benefit of dating online. You can say what you’re looking for. If someone gets out of pocket, thank you next. But I would definitely say it’s a good way to introduce yourself to dating if you’ve been off the market for a while or if you’re trying to heal from a toxic relationship. Because dating in person maybe worse but it kind of gives you what to expect from a man.

Welp I I received “hits” it was literally overwhelming and then began looking at profiles and was like no sir …. Why are you posing like this …. Yes I’m a divorced woman and I had been out of the “dating world” I think I was curious to see what would happen…. I said Lisa get off this you know you are a ENERGY person and I immediately dismantled my profile 😝…. Real talk like Tony said you can meet someone by being out and about and don’t just sit in the house all the time “pre pandemic “ I’m sure the sites have doubled in numbers since pandemic and many ladies were feeling like I have no one to quarantine with. I truly believe what God has for me will appear no chase no desperation. My children are grown and I can actually travel and do fun things and attract the person God has me! Thanks Tony

    You sound normal. You would approach a woman in public if you were single. But I can’t tell you how many men I have met that have said they’d never approach a woman in public for fear of being accused of harassment.
    I’ve had several friends meet good men online, but it hasn’t worked for me yet. I recently started going out more but it’s rare I meet single men in my age range at these places or get approached, even though I dress nice and am friendly, so I also am online.

    Hi Tony,
    thank you for the advise on how to generally stay safe while online dating. I would ideally love to meet my guy out and about, but I find that guys don’t normally approach me while I’m doing stuff throughout my day. What I like about online dating and what I hope you would address is the fact that when I do see a guy, I don’t know anything about them, their age, marital status, if they are a Christian or not, if they have a good job, sexual orientation etc . out of the 1 or possible 2 guys that approach me they don’t meet the Christian man Criteria. Can you address how not just to meet men but rather Christian men. According to your teaching, my job is to to be seen and if the guy is interested he will pursue. So there goes that one. I do go about my day looking, not always on my phone but still no takers. According to your teaching I should focus on BBB, which I have been, guys do find me attractive…except I will focus more on brand next year ( I plan to take one of your courses) Anyway, Even looking my best, I don’t get as much attention IRL, my photos are up to date and no filter and I do get a lot of likes online. daily we have to wear masks so I guess my eyes are not alluring🤷🏻‍♀️ according to your teaching then, I should wait until it’s time which it is what it is. I think dating online shows my personality which the guys respond to and I have learned so much about myself and men through the process as I had virtually (no pun intended 😊) no dating experience the last 30 years. Now according to this video, I have to figure out what’s wrong with me psychologically that I’m desperate to go online instead of waiting as I’ve been doing for the last 30 years 🥲. I do apply everything you teach on the dates but mainly that if they are too busy to talk, I send them off with a blessing and I do speak with men to pick up any clues of craziness. I do want someone as excited about me as you are about your wife and I don’t mind if I meet them online tbh. Also, if I meet a guy on the streets wouldn’t I need to take the same precautions? The guy I may meet in person while shopping for groceries could have a dating profile on the side 🙃 🤷🏻‍♀️ I appreciate you! God bless you and send a prayer for me 🙏
