| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women.
Posted: 3/4/2006 5:24:35 AM | I think that you could be right about the picture thing. I dont even have a good quality pic up and i get emails. But....most of the men live 2 hours away. Also it is hard for me as a woman to look at a picture and be "attracted" to someome. I know as far as i am concerned I am afraid to actually meet anyone from the internet bc only 1 guy has looked like his pic, and he was nuttier than i thought. I think most women are shallow ****es. So here is some advice. Chances are if you are pursuing a really hot girl who is a ten so shes probably a stuck up **** who would treat you badly anyway. Unless you are a 10 yourself. If you were (or are) a 10 you'd be rude to her as well. Its 7am and my coffee hasnt kicked in,,,am i making sense?
I have come across quite a few really nice guys who i am not attracted to physically. Although the last guy who broke my heart i knew for 2 years before I found him attractive. I am finding the same problem. The better looking the guy the crappier his personality. I think people should have more picnic type get togethers for singles and meet that way. Face to face. Just seems like there are an aweful lot of single lonely people out there who are not connecting.
In the us most of us judge potential mates on looks (i myself included). Its crappy, but who wants to kiss or u-know -what with someone who they arent attracted to, unless you want to have beer goggles 24/7. | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 8:40:39 AM | | I think there are barriers in internet dating for both sexes and should only be viewed as one way to meet people. I agree that women will get far more email then men but many men on here are out to manipulate for sex. I guarantee that most will run as soon as they smell that manipulation. Also writing one sentence in an email won't cut it. The letter should be personable and gentleman-like. The profile should be well written and not advertising for sex. If it is then only email those women seeking that. Women are going to take more time evaluating the profile and letter that you send then men tend to. Hopefully this will increase your responses. Oh and lastly....don't get pushy....she may be emailing several people and have kids to tend to. If you are communicating back and forth and you get one reply to each of your 5 emails to her it doesn't necessarily mean she is rejecting you. She just doesn't have time. | |

Posted: 3/4/2006 9:13:13 AM | To Sexyandbrainy >> Spoken like a true Latina. There will always be a uniqueness about us Latin people, where we pull no punches, unless we truly have to. Good advice. More men should stop in here to take some tips from this girl.
Good luck to all out there.. and remember, if you try and don't succeed.. at least you tried. | |

Posted: 3/8/2006 11:43:08 PM | | Internet dating can be hit or miss. I can't say anyone has been right for me yet. If a woman actually finds my profile and reads it, often it sparks some kind of interest. On top of it, add in the subscribers versus non-subscriber barriers, its a wonder how anyone gets contact. There are so many guys and profiles to look at, that most of the time I'm never found by any female who is truly looking. Good career, money, nice looks, and thoughtful words may not even make the difference. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 10:50:26 AM | | You're complaining about weeding through guys? At least you have guys to weed through. Try weeding through no one. It's a lot tougher to be a guy trying to meet a girl, not only online, but in real life. Why is it hard for a nice girl to find a decent guy? Guys are everywhere.. I'd love to find a nice girl, but there's always a catch. Trying to talk to a girl who acts like she has blinders on, is impossible. You gotta practially step on their feet to make em stand still. Would be nice if girls actually stopped and looked around instead of making a mad dash from their car door to their destination.. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 11:35:10 AM | | Don't get upset with the the shallow people (men and women) on here, feel bad for them. The people (more so the ladies) that only post sexy pic's and only talk about the "looks" they want in a partner, are the ones that are going to get played over and over. Us men do have to do most of the e-mailing work on here. I just figured out how to check how many ladies have contacted me first (I'm NOT a computer person lol) and in the year and a half that I've been on here, I've been contacted first 8 times lol. It's just the way of things. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 12:01:01 PM | Maybe the problem is the people you choose to email. If you really believe that the "good looking girls" are "very stuck up" and "only reply to you if you are 9+ out of 10" then why do you write to them to begin with? I'm not saying you need to lower your standards, but if you know all of that to be true, why are you even bothering to look online?
We are ALL more shallow than we want to admit to ourselves. We hate to think that we are as superficial as "they" are, etc. But when is the last time you asked someone out that had the greatest profile ever written, but whose gaze would turn you to stone?
Look, I'm not tryling to be an a$$hole or anything, I'm just saying sometimes we aren't much better than the people we are pointing at. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 1:07:28 PM | Talking about numbers...
I friend of mine found a guy on another site. Its long distance but they talk for 3 months and she decides to delete it, because they can chat on MSN or over phone.
But then, her boyfriend, cant use MSN at work – blocked by firewall, so he asked her again to create new profile there, so they can chat sometimes when he is at work.
She did that yesterday, no photo, just one line:
“I found what I was looking for…”
And guess what ?
In less then 12 hours she got e-mails from 2 guys already ?!
So either men don’t read, or its just they are desperate and think they will have better chance with new members ? | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 3:20:03 PM | You do have a better chance with new members. If e-mailing people that have been on here for awhile, I have gotten about a 10% return rate. If e-mailing new members the return rate goes up too about 50% and most of the new people that don't respond are people that had left the site and then come back. It seems if you're on here awhile you get jaded and bitter.  Who knew. | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 7:21:27 PM | i read somewhere, in public trying to meet new women you have about a 80% chance of getting shot down. thats 2 out of every 10 will be receptive. the other 8 wont give you the time of day. after hearing this. i went out to the park, to talk to 10 females close to my age and see if this was true. i managed to carry on a conversation with 3 of 10. the other 7 kept going without a word. i wasnt trying to pick up on them. just hi, i like your shoes, how far do you jog in a day? i used to have a pooch almost like that one -just casual talk to start a conversation. it made me feel a lot more comfortable when being shot down. it shouldnt be taken it personally - hey three were very talkative -maybe the other seven were married.
i am wondering why the rate of e-conversation isnt more frequent. is everyones standards higher here? why? since the internet brings new people right into our house without any serious commitment -you dont have to give your name or number until you are sure you want to carry anything further, and if not, the break off is much easier since you dont have to do it in person. do you think you know that person just because they revealed three paragraphs and a couple of photos? | |

(Refering to guys who send single phrase emails)_These may be marvelous guys who engage in scintillating conversation in person, but don't have a clue how to communicate in writing. This is a written medium though, and all I have to go by is the words that the guy puts on the screen.
Well it's still a helluva lot better than the emails most of us guys get from you women huh? ? Cuz you dont send shit.
ok...guys, stop complaining. this dating online isn't any easier for women. i get im...or emailed...and mostly these guys live between their legs...
Same situation.. women - yall rather men not email you at all? I aint the one sending these type of messages-- but shit I wouldnt mind a lil overtly sexual mail from some ugly women every now and again; like I said, its much better than what yall are doing for us. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 5:09:15 AM | | Maybe it's something to do with the content of your emails? Personally, I don't care much for the email that goes something like..."hi, how are you?" ....or "hi, wanna hook up".....that's usally all they say too. Wow, isn't that something to excite a person??........not | |
