| Why are men on dating sites so clueless?

I think when a woman puts a provocative picture up.....then she can`t complain about the kind of responses she gets...The guy is just responding to her boobs with his penis.....That`s just my opinion.....If you don`t want lewd responses....change your picture cuz you are just advertising sex and a man is responding!!! Go ahead, gals....fire away!!
ok here ya go Talitha. I don't believe my profile has any provocative pics....and I have had my fair share of explicit pics and explicit emails. I take it as par for the course though. You get all sorts of desperate or exhibitionist people on these sites. There's good guys as well...thank goodness. | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 1:36:20 AM | Actually Psych, these "Nice" guys with no game are killing it here. They are giving the average girls a big ego. Especially, with over exaggerated compliments that are fairy tale like. Let's be honest here, most of these women profiles are "romance novel/movie" like. In addition, MOST, not all these women are in non reality world. These type of women are not use to being treating "nice".All these "nice" guys do is build up their attention and make these women feel like they have a bunch options (friends) instead of dates. Of course, those of us who do go out know, the more options a woman feels the less likely she will go out with you, unless she feels other women might notice you. Which of course, on here, its hard to defuse that ego. So which ultimately equals a bunch of ladies with kids seeking daddies or women with high egos. Unless, you spot a few ladies who are able to recognize "real" before the "nice" guys come. Hell, dates would be eaiser if there were more pervs than "nice" guys.
This place is crawling with the "nice" as you could read by the amount of butt kissing in these forums. | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 7:13:44 AM | guynamed21-- are you sure you mean 'nice' or do you really mean 'respect'. I guess until we know your definition we won't really know.
With that said though I don't think women, in general are looking for someone with an inflated ego that has trouble staying in the earth's atmosphere. If you think you are somehow outside this label I suggest you take a hard look at your profile.
well now after I said that I guess I can disclude myself from the 'nice' group and the 'butt kissing' group all in one fell swoop.  Not that I ever included myself in any such group anyhow. 
Fox--- see that now don't you feel better?, I should have known you are a firery red head... sheesh I need to be more careful who I pick fights with and you've already been smitten by another... mmm the world is a better place today.

Posted: 8/27/2005 9:12:21 AM | | Psych... it seems to me that the more “Pseudoplayers” and “losers” there are, the more opportunities remain for the rest of us. I’d be thanking these guys... not dissin them. And why single out these two groups in particular? I hope you're not suggesting that genuine Players advance the cause of manhood? | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 9:30:49 AM | Thanks OTB
Actually, having a pic up doesn't make me "feel better". It has absolutely no impact on how I percieve myself
?smitten by another? what does that mean? | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 10:29:58 AM | I sort of agree with what the guy a couple posts back said about there being more opportunities for the Non-Clueless... ya know... by posting, we can all spot them and stuff.
They're taking themselves out of the running quite swiftly, so rejoice... no really.

Posted: 8/27/2005 11:13:57 AM | This is way too much introspective navel-gazing for my taste but I suppose it's good for a laugh. Might as well clean out the lint while you're down there.
I dunno. Some folks have their act together. Others don't.
Sure, you're going to get great-unwashed-masses commonalities within any given population (single adults, lookin' fer love and/or sex online in North America) and you will start to see trends emerging.
I wonder if fishing is as good a metaphor as panning for a gold nugget.
You pan through all sorts of other materials (clay, sand, dirt, rock) recognizing each simply enough to know that they are not what you are looking for.
Why agonize over what the other not-suited-for-you 's are?
Recognize, note the situation, continue your search pattern.
Every once in awhile you find a glimmer of gold.
Rarer yet, a nugget.
Why concern yourself with anything else other than focusing on your own personal nugget?
-- Fox -- glad you have a pic up finally. Very nice.
Don't lose hope but do consider another location.

I wish these forums were more conversation than opportunities to bash. | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 4:42:53 PM | Hmm, my sociological experiment is going better than I had dreamed possible.
The drama, the hostility, the fact that some of you are actually taking this seriously enough to waste entire moments of your day that you'll never get back by being angry.
The anger level of the responses seems to be directly proportional to the amount identification one has to the description in the first post.
Seriously fellow males, if you're angry about this post, tell me to GFY, call me a douche, etc., you're providing excellent data to back up my hypothesis.
Good work! | |

I think I love you, but what am I so afraid of?
You're afraid that you're not sure of a love there is no cure for.
(God help me, I knew the answer.) | |
