Maybe you need to subscribe to other sites as well..
Or maybe you need to move to another area
But there are more ways that lead to Rome my friend. Maybe someone in a place NEAR you?
I really hope you wil find that special girl... all people deserve someone who loves him.
I wish you really good luck!

| hold on t o yourself Posted: 11/18/2004 12:16:16 AM | You are right Kabeh,
It mostly depends on your own attitude, what you ask for in your profile, how much trouble you want to take for someone and if you are really totally honest.
For exapmle: 'I despice people without a pic in their profile'. It is like they have something to hide or just too lazy to leave a picture... I rally hate it when they put something like 'a romantic picture or a cartoon' in their profile... because i just want to SEE who i am DEALING with, not just some stupid cartoon or some 'waterfall' or a flower in the profile. This is the stupidest thing.
I think people should be honest about themselves.
Actualyl online dating is a wonderful MEDIUM, but most people who DO online dating, they really SUCK BIGTIME!!!! no honesty, and because most people do 'mass-dating' it feels like you are numbe 'so and so' before someone met you actually.
I also HATE it when people ask me questions that are already 'answered' in my personal profile. It's like they just take a quick look in me profile, without even bothering reading the profile!
It's hard to find this little fishy in this HUGE OCEAN!!!

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 11/18/2004 2:58:59 PM | | I think this site is great.. and the only factor responsible for it being 'sucky' or 'not-sucky' is only the human condition itself. Perhaps there are those who simply do not have the patience to create a post that would be 'thought enough on' to breed a response. ? - In a world where it seems less and less is free - I think we are lucky to be able to access this form of streamlined communication access with no fee. To judge it as something more than a tool.. to do with what YOU will.. would only wind up causing you frustration in the end. It might help to consider this 'vehicle' if you will .. as a privelage, not a right. 'clocking-in' doesn't guarantee the reward.. it's what you do once you're in here that will get you closer to what you're looking for. | |

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 11/18/2004 9:59:15 PM | yeh! i think this online stuff is a little bit full of crap. people want to email chat for a bit, msn then see a pic after that suck my butt.
i don't know but the way i see it if each person on here actually met one person that emailed them maybe wouldn't so many people hooking up.
women are looking for mr perfect men are looking for miss right away
what the heck
nay! are you not just as frustrated as you were before you started trying to date online!????
hey people get real and honest on this thing or why are you here??? | |

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 11/18/2004 10:32:18 PM | | Well I personally think I'm a nice gal and I know I'd love to find a nice man.. so nice women ARE on this site and ARE looking for something real. However nice men are few and far between as well.. So I know how you all feel as well.. It's hard finding someone real, and nice anywhere, not just here. | |

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 11/19/2004 9:01:08 AM | I, for one, said that I am finished looking for a man via the internet. I don't consider that slamming the site. I also enjoy the message boards here so I plan on staying.
As for those who suggest spending more time on a profile...I have spent hours writing some of my profiles on a couple of other sites that have reams of questions that one answers to give insight into who one is. I love to write so I don't find it a chore and I am honest to a fault so the picture is very much who I am and as complete as words can make it.
It has nothing to do with the quality of my profile. It has a lot to do with the quality of some of the men who frequent internet dating sites. [I cannot speak to the quality of the women as a whole as I don't attempt to get to know them or make a date]. | |

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 2/15/2005 4:06:35 PM | yes, girls can be picky. I know that I'm definetly picky when it comes to replying back to people. I get enough emails. I read the profile and I look to see if the person has actually read my profile or if they just looked at my pic said hey she's cute and sent me a msg. Also if the first email is a novel. I won't read it. It's all about the presentation of the message. was the person original does he stand out from the rest. if it's original and not a novel. I will write back. Just my 2 cents. | |

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 2/16/2005 5:32:32 AM | I just checked out your profile and I think maybe if you acted like you wanted a nice girl for a relationship you just might get one. Girls are not attracted to guys that go on and on about sex in their profile!!! Don't blame us because you don't know how to place an ad for what you (supposedly) really want. Why don't you look at some of the guys profiles and see how it should be done!!! | |

| Im official done searching for girls on this site Posted: 2/16/2005 6:03:51 AM | These threads are FUN! - better than reading cosmo!
First, 13-1??? that's a horrible ratio!!! But am I right to assume that even if the ratio was one to one, it'd STILL be the girls that get all the e-mails and get to pick and choose rather than the guys? Why is that?
Sites like this would REALLY be fun if it was manditory for both genders to write to a few people right when they sign on for the first time hehe - wouldn't THAT be interesting? Being the first to write a message is harder than responding (even easier if you're just not responsding haha), but there's no point in blaming a gender imbalance in practice if teh ratios aren't even equal to begin with. We just need more women to join!!
btw - I've never gotten any responses anywhere either. And no, I'm not whiny or agressive or a sex-fiend. I'm begining to suspect I simply don't have a good picture, or I write to all teh wrong girls lol =( | |
