| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women.
Posted: 5/17/2007 3:51:05 PM | If I were on here to find sex I would say from experience that I could be very successful. But the fact is that I am looking for a committed relationship. In my search for that I have been somewhat less victorious.
So for me I feel that this a good way to meet women but just have not met the right one yet. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 3:53:52 PM | | Internet dateing sucks for men because men a stupit. They put pictures with hats on, dogs in front of them, why now show the real thing and why can't men have some kind of fashion sence. If they would be a little more honest and look good when they show up, it may be better. I had a date with one guy that asked me to be sexy and he shows up in a baseball hat!!!!!! Men, get with it, women like men to look sexy also and baseball hats are only good for playing baseball. | |

I guess you think i am stupid too ... i have a hat on in my photo and i did have photos of my pets on my profile too.
Many people put photos of their pets on their profile and also kids ... your pets are also part of the package deal too .. lol
Cloths do NOT make a person ... it is what is under the cloths that matter...
Women and men have problems with internet dating ... just like in real life ... it is not easy .. otherwise none of us would be single... ' | |

I am overweight
and I am black....
(and I am really tall...which cuts my chances drastically again!!....

So with all of that said...why are you here? Especially when you KNOW the "white woman" has you out manned at least 50-2? Go over to ebony's free site, and leave us guys alone that happen to like "white women" You had no business hi-jacking this thread with your RACIST remarks about...."so you think you should get more e-mails b/c you're?" OF COURSE HE SHOULD! When you see one "black" woman per page of 50...you'd sure like too think you would...
Geez!...gawd I hate tall-fat-black chicks, that think "white" guys OWE them something every time we open our mouths!

Posted: 5/17/2007 4:44:50 PM | It'd be so much more pleasant if both sexes admitted that finding a wonderful match for themselves isn't an easy thing. And cut each other a bit of slack, don't try to make the other person feel there's something wrong with them just because you won't date them, thank them for their time wish them the best and move the heck on?
I have made contact, I've written men, asked men out, so I know what you guys face. It makes me appreciate more what a man has to go through just to get my attention. I think all women should do that, at least once if not more.
We could all be a little more proactive, a little bit more positive and pleasant and hope everyone at least enjoys the experience even if it doesn't turn out as they'd hoped.
Yeah, I know, I'm apparently way too happy for the general population, but I can dream, can't I?  | |

I've seen some venomous crap in my time but just because you cant get any woman at all and have to resort to a dreary long profile full of shit that nobody believes doesnt give you the right to say that to anyone.
Gotta laff.. A wall street genius thats obviously loaded (fulla shit) and 3 faves? Damn!! I have more than you and i'm black! And I delete them as i see fit!!
Investment strategist my a r s e.. More like you put the "lynch" in Merril Lynch.
Obviously you CAN get internet access in a trailer in vegas, so before you sweet talk some ho into giving you crabs in exchange for a portfolio full of 10c junk stock, i suggest you put your pic back up for everyone to see what a wonderful specimen of disease ridden microdik you really are...
Dont bother.. Women aint that dumb. Black OR white.

Posted: 5/17/2007 6:15:43 PM | | Ricky who are you talking too?? Anyways as for the woman who misspelled some words . I think it is because english is her second language.No need to be cruel. Even if it is not her second language there is still no need to pick at someone like that. | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 6:16:31 PM | I would surely love to know what the ratio of men to women is on this site! I as a red blooded American woman, don't think the odds are stacked in my favor! LOL LOL
so many Men are intent on getting the eye candy, plain janes such as myself get lost in crowd. if I send out 25 emails, I am lucky to get one response, and out of 25 responses I might get ONE that is someone who sounds sane on the telephone and seems genuinely interested in meeting me for a RELATIONSHIP which is what I'm here for. Dozens of offers for one night stands that don't do me any good! LOL LOL
If you don't have a photo posted and you don't have anything in your profile other than "message me", why would I even answer your IM??? There's nothing there to tell me anything....I have to assume you're married, I have to assume you're an ax murderer. I have to assume the worst. Because you haven't given me any other information.
According to the profile of one of the Moderators, there are 1.4 million members on here. It will take ages to sort through and find "the one" on this site. You're looking for a needle in a hay stack, develop thicker skin and a more positive attitude!! | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 8:27:40 PM | | To niceguy99a: My friend says she is waiting for the right guy to settledown with and then will have sex, she says it scares off the ones who only want one thing. But seriously I would love a 3 to 1 ratio in favour of men. I have heard that the lady I am meeting for the first time say that she gets messages from a few new men every week and it makes me wonder if she has the same attitude of my friend and if she is giving me a fair chance or waiting to get home hoping to get a message from an oil executive. | |

It is easy to check the ratios.. click on "search" on the top of the screen. Then click on "Basic Search" .... you will need to used a range of only one years otherwise you will get more the 600 match... do it for "Male looking for Women" and then repeat reversing it.
I did it for Calgary .. 25 miles .. and just totaled the numbers.. Yes the ratio is 3 male profiles for each women profile ... but around 30 percent of male profiles said "Intimate Encounters' i guess about 20 percent lie and are also looking for IE but put down friend, dating and long term.... so the ratio of men per women is about 1.5 | |

Posted: 5/17/2007 8:56:33 PM | | I am not sure how it is good for women, I find that I have initiated contact and not even had the courtesy of a response from the local men my age in my area. It is very discouraging when they don't even bother to acknowledge your email, or worse yet they don't open it. I also find that I am mostly being approached by much younger men or much older and I am looking for someone closer to my age. I have to update my profile to reflect that. Good luck in your search. | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 2:45:24 AM | The OP really discouraged me after reading the thread my first day here. I haven't done the internet dating thing before, and thought maybe it was a bad idea after reading how bad it was for guys. I just want to say to anyone else who is new not to worry. It is not nearly that bad, and I think OP is just bitter.
From what I read on the forums it comes down to having a good profile (plenty of threads on how to write one), and how you carry yourself in the messages you send. We shouldn't have to be told not to send crude remarks to women, but operantly some guys need to be. Maybe it's because I was raised to be a southern gentleman, but I believe not sending dirty pics or words to a lady should just be common sense. If you don't hear back after sending a respectable well written message, please don't act like a child and tell her off because you think she is missing out. Just move along. Maybe you aren't good looking enough to pull the caliber of women you are shooting for....
I am by no means God's gift to women looks wise. But after being here for 4 days, I have a date this weekend. It's also with who I consider to be the best looking and most interesting woman in my 50 mile radius search. Maybe it is just beginners luck. But even if things don't work out, at least I'm not as concerned about the online dating experience as I was after reading the original post. | |

Don't let these threads get you down, we're all pretty bitter on here! Haha.
Good luck on your date!

in most cultures, guys dont date females over 20. Is that really true? The youngest I ever dated was 25, but they asked me out. Now, I'd like to, but I'm worried that at 37 I'm they wouldn't consider me. | |

Posted: 5/18/2007 6:05:50 PM | thanks for that my friend...you have an amazing grasp of whats going on in our world...yet you havent become cynical...nor me...
...maybe there are some of us(women AND men) "marching to a different drum."....that other drum is only about exploitation+greed...and ultimately unreal...as its profit driven, illusion...which you so succinctly describe...
the "beautiful people" are doomed to a life of only looking good...this is not sour grapes as I dated a particularly beautiful woman once...and she told me herself that it was very lonely being that attractive ,as men didnt behave normally around her(in too much awe)..
.she gave me the ultimate compliment in being herself around me,simply cos I was doing the same....
good wishes on your journey | |
