| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/10/2008 5:28:04 AM |
I'm not good looking...but I get very few unanswered emails...and I get a fairly steady stream of first contacts from women.....Why ?.....because there are in fact serious, sincere women on here.....but....they don't want to be hustled...bullsh ited...lied to.....the real deal....
Just a guess, but probably due to location, and I think women in that area are a bit more friendly and realistic. Just at theory.  | |

For some reason women in general believe men on the inter net are a joke...!
And over 90 % of the emails go un read and deleted, according to almost ever man poster...
Some of you so called ladies have been on here for years,,,,,
waaa...HAT ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR,,,,????? THE keyzguy369
keyzguy, I have asked this question myself on this same forum i think. Like you it has gone unanswered. But here is what i think. I think that most of them don't know what they want or what they are looking for. To me that is kinda scary in it's self. I can kinda understand it with teen age girls and maybe the ones that have never been married. I have read profiles of women in there 40's that have been married at least once and some more than once that still have no earthly idea what they want. Me, I have been married one time in my life. That was enough to show me what i really wanted. Not to mention what i never want again.  | |

An interesting thing happened when I wrote that post...aside from, you, confirming what you can clearly see as the fustration that I often show.
I, actually came to the conclusion, that the forums do help us see things differently, and
the last thing I will find here is a good women, because I was brought up in an era, where my, definition of a [ good woman ] for all intent and purposes no longer holds true in today's society.
And at this point and realized I am not going to find what I am looking for simply because their minds have been poisoned by all the television, combined with all the crap, that they read in those magazines that are specifically designed to poisoned women's minds and the methods of manipulation of mankind, simply because most men will allow themselves to be used for a roll in the hay.
Apparently if you're not a perfect 10, and I am not, you must have a ton of cash, that you are willing to piss away, in this illustrious search for a good woman, and that, I actually don't have that either, so it is apparently just not going to happen.
I haven't sent an e-mail out after the original 90 or so e-mails since I started posting, because no one would go out with me anyway after reading some of the things I put in the forms themselves.
And as I said before, I only speak what I believe to be the truth, and the truth is that their minds have been poisoned,,,
That is according to my point of view, and most other men's point of view as far as I can ascertain.
Except for a very few men that have posted that they are having great success here [ which more likely a numbers thing ]I don't actually see that this is about dating anymore, as it is, what it was meant to be originally, a forum to post our point of view.
I would also say, that not a single woman, has been contacted me since I joined this site, whenever that was , and I have quite a bit to offer a woman, except she would have to be a good woman which brings us back to my original focus point that they don't exist!
Please note; to the poster that keeps ragging on DC chick, that I have read most of her,posts, in many threads and I myself wouldn't date that girl on a bet, but, I think you are clearly wrong that she is a user of men, in the respect that money, is concerned...!
As I have continuously stated from the very beginning the truth is more important, and this is the second time I've had to defend her, because she clearly does not use men for money.
I do believe however that she is a typical, and particular type of woman that apparently exists on this site, and in the world in general, and the only difference between that lady and the other women on this site, is that she, [ DChick ] is not afraid to say, out in the open, what she is looking for.
And if in fact that is the case, I will never find, what I seek,,,

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 1:40:23 AM | Hey Keyzguy369 there is a lot of truth in your post and it is something that I myself have thought about. Ironically it is also something that many women often complain about is the false expectations that the media, magazines, TV, etc. put on a women with their airbrushed photoshoped made-up fake women and all the sex sells media strategies to make money here in the US. Another guy in this forum posted a bunch of statistics explaining how greedy we as a country have become. 52% of all marriages ending within the first year was one example. With every year the percentage climbing!
Let me give you a little bit of hope though, if it means anything to you at all. I am 100% Portuguese though I was born in the US. I have traveled some including across the US on a Greyhound bus. I've been to Canada a few times and other places. I have been to Europe many times, especially the Portuguese Azores Islands.
The US has long last it's cultures you see. Many 100% cultures tend to be stricter and have certain up brings that culture a person and influcertain different levels of morals and standards. I feel 100% sure that if I were to go to Portugal again that I would easily find a wife who is that women I think you mean. My cousin did it! She is beautiful! Inside and out. They now have a child. She cooks Portuguese foods and he learns and does also. They both work and share duties. They have a great life. His brother also married a Portuguese woman and did the same thing. Both own houses and work as a team.
Here in the US while it is not the same everywhere, (Boston still has a lot of nice educated people), many many many areas are bad. Our public education system is horrible!! I learned almost nothing in school. I had to go learn on my own at the library and studying on the Internet. I can walk down the street right now and ask questions about history everyone should know, and be lucky if 1 person can answer. For goodness sake we have shows that make fun of how dumb we are by putting 3rd graders competing against adults! Most countries hate us and call us dumb Americans and we only give them more reasons to call us dumb with these horrible shows exploiting peoples under-educated minds. Especially MTV and their reality shows. When my Portuguese cousins came here and they were scared and asked, "why are the police sirens going off every 20min? Is that normal? Is their really that much crime?"
I recommend you save up some money and take a trip somewhere such as Portugal (the Azores Islands not the mainland), Ireland, Switzerland, anywhere where culture is rich and superficiality does not rule the mainstream media and parents don't leave the kids sitting in front of the TV all day to learn. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 3:06:40 AM | Hello there I would have loved to see your profile, to check if you are good, average or otherwise looking and read your profile to get a picture why you might be ignored by 'good-looking' ladies. Unfortunatly when I put your name into the search-box, it comes up empty! Have you left POF? One thing that I noticed is that you don't seem to care for average looking girls, and hystory has proven that most good-looking girl don't have you look for you, because all other men look for good-looking woman too. So if they don't answer you, you either not as good looking as you think you are, or there are better looking guys out there then you. Maybe those woman don't go for looks at all or you might just not be their type or have something written in your profile they don't find attractive. The ratio is interesting too, since there are NOT ENOUGH MEN on here. Surely all this woman must be desperate to catch one of the few guys here, or? So theoretically, men should have more replies then women, unless their expectations are to hight, and average girls don't bother contacting them because of their own criteria of what they are looking for! I also noticed a trent where people call themself attractive, when they are less but.... I don't know why people look for perfection in others when NOBODY is perfect.... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Just a few maybe's... Can't really tell as long as your profile is not available! Sorry... Keep  | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 5:23:35 AM | I've been scammed by three guys on this site, including one who lied about everything in his profile (posted a fake picture etc). I found out the truth when his wife emailed me. Has it made me more cautious? Yes. Has it made me bitter? No. I'm motivated by the thought that a special guy is on here waiting for me.
Putting your heart on the line isn't easy and you will probably get bruised along the way. But if you keep a positive attitude, you will succeed in the end. You get back what you throw out. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 10:05:54 AM | | Eborys............You nailed right on the head! Now try getting to the 100-200 mark and countless pay and non pay sites, and let us know what ur frustration level is then lol. | |

the last thing I will find here is a good women, because I was brought up in an era, where my, definition of a [ good woman ] for all intent and purposes no longer holds true in today's society.
Things have changed so you will never find what you were brought up to believe was a good woman. And neither will women find that in a man today.
Most need to lose these antiquated ideas. You can also expect what you can offer.
Many people also need to learn more compassion and understanding. The majority of people on here are so quick to judge everyone and people do not try to understand each other. There are quite a few people I would not even want to know as a friend on here. It's not because they have different ideas than mine, it's because they present them in demeaning manner. No woman or man is interested in that type of person.
I read again and again from the same people the same attitudes, the women are no good, go to europe instead, the men are all after sex, where are the good ones. It's tiring. If you are halfway intelligent and mature, you KNOW that there are good men and women on here.
And frankly, there has to be some attraction, no matter how good the person is. The whole problem is that most people do not look as good in their pictures as they do in person. And there's nothing you can do about it. If you find this option so tiring and so horrible, go out in the real world.
The POF events have proven most of you wrong in that there are about 10 couples together and 4 are engaged. But continue to complain......
They simply will not go for guys of lower economic status.
No, they won't, most women are still looking for the guy that they were brought up to want. Natch. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 11:45:15 AM | See eborys, you should take a leaf out of Iron Wolf's book - he has the right idea/attitude towards it all and it's how I see it to some extent.
I was gonna ask but Amazonian Chick beat me to it@the whole race thing? And when you say you've sent out 15 emails, is that like in total? Coz I've sent out nearly tripple that and had one reply from someone who I went on a date with and yes, it pretty much ended there and then but whatever slight bitterness/disappointment I felt at the time was gone within a day or so. Clearly, that was not meant to be at all and at least I had a few days of good conversation with said person before then. What about the guys and girls on here who have been members for months even years and STILL haven't had so much as a reply or an email let alone a date! It's not that I can't understand where you are coming from, I do within reason. It's just that you really have to realise that you are far from the only one in the same predicament as countless dare I say hundreds if not thousands, probbaly just on this site alone that have difficulty in even just striking up a conversation with someone on here
I often find that just reading through some of these posts from people who are in the same predicament as you or me and the advice doled out is usually enough to make me think a little bit more clearly and positive as to why we don't neccessarily get what we think we deserve. Coupla other quick points I wanted to mention; someone made a point about it's not just women who sit around deleting msgs or blocking profiles, even from good looking guys or men with something more substantial to say other than "Hi, you look hot" or whatever. I don't think I'm being shallow by saying that I have had msgs from a few women on other similar sites that I really don't feel attracted too at all be it their looks (you can all boo and hiss here if you want but I don't know a person alive that won't admit to their having to be at least SOME attraction involved when you first see a person's profile pic) I DO go for personality more than anything and equally, there have been a few women who I just haven't been attracted to by their actual profiles. And y'know what? I can say for damn sure that would have been the case with me on the other end sending out msgs to women thinking I come across ok etc :)
It's just the way it is, mate. And lastly, reading some of your can I say 'rant's really hit home to me just how bitter and pessimistic I myself must have sounded so many times when I've talked that way to anyone within earshot! Seeing it in text form alone, I gotta tell yer, it sure doesn't make you sound that enticing. Again, I am not ragging on you here and it would be somewhat hypocritical to point out things your doing wrong when I have and probably still do to some extent myself I haven't seen your profile but it sounds to me like you could do with maybe adding some better info or a coupla clear pics? I'm not estatically happy with mine neither am I negative - it's the best I think I can do without trying to come off like I'm trying to impress all and sundry. And besides, I don't have a camera whatsoever so any pics have been kindly donated by good friends lol
Take what you will from this somewhat errr lengthy post - I just know how I felt a lot about all this dating site business a while back so just offering my own 2 cents worth.
Good luck for the future, mate
P.S. Amazonian, you rawk btw!  | |

Thank you for your, much appreciated input, and I would say that you're absolutely correct and the American education system sucks...!
I am excavation contractor and have done work in several schools locally inside the buildings themselves and compared to the school system that which I came from a lack of education and social skills that are being taught to the children of this world is sickening at best.
[[[I went to have the Aviation High School in Long Island city New York which at the timeWAS, styled after a military academy for four or fiveperiods of vocational, studies added onto four or five periods a day of academic studies. ]]]
A total of 11 periods per day of vocational and academic schooling and after four years I graduated with 100% attendance, along with being rated 17 out of 550 student...
As well as three federal licenses...
So I think I put out a little bit more than most when it came to studies, and find our educational system equally deficient as the dating pool that we have to choose from.
And then these people qho currently graduate,t go out into the world wiithout without any understanding of proper moral turpitude and no social skills.
There is another thread in which many of the men have decided to move to other countries or bring back wives from other countries and I am leaning in that direction myself as I don't think I want to live in America anymore as well and would probably have been headed in a direction if the economy didn't take such a drastic down slide in the last two years I would've sold the properties I own here in America and traveled until I found someplace to be comfortable, which in fact it looks like I am about two years away from at this point so thank you Jason I will take your advice into serious consideration.
HONEY 96, funny I can't possibly comprehend why my profile doesn't show up, all you have to do is click on the link that says view profile directly underneath the picture next to my postings.
And whether or not I choose to e-mail a good looking and or attractive women has has made absolutely no difference whatsoever after sending out 90 e-mails to various degrees of attractiveness in women I received exactly 3 replies saying no thank you.
So what difference does it make whether they're attractive or not there was a pretty good assortment of fairly normal looking people.
And I am never going to wake up next to something that I should've been put it out with the dog.. that just isn't going to happen.
And if you would have gotten savvy enough to reach my profile, or read my postings, and a you would see that I do not drink alcohol, and I don't want to date anybody that drinks alcohol which eliminates about 98% of the population these United States of America...
And by the way I have had alcohol in my house for 25 years both beer and alcohol beverages, in case my friends come over, I myself just choose not to drink and or do drugs...
It is a choice not a necessity so don't get the two mixed up.
Then take into consideration that I will not even consider dating someone that does drugs and we have just reduce the amount of the available women by half,,, and pot is a drug...dope, is dop a e,,,
Then of course there is the geographical boundaries which is about 60 or 70 miles at the outside and it with today's prices and given the fact that there are three tollbooths between my house in Miami you are looking at about $50 just in tolls and gas for a cup of coffee that will take you five hours to get to and back from.. and although someone like yourself might be interested in spending five hours to meet someone for a cup of coffee I am not.
So I have to deal with people little a bit closer and every one of them are alcoholics and or drug addicts...
Don't know what you don't get but it's been in my posts and my profile since the beginning..
Oh yes and she must have a good job and a real, bank account because the last thing I need is another full-time job....
So there you have it honey 96... certainly are slim pickings at best...!
Oh and heres the real deal breaker,,,
I refuse to date anyone that has left their bodies go to hell...
I am a bit overweight in the mid section,,may be 15 pounds ,,, but would have no problem at all swimming a mile in the open ocean or riding my bike 10 miles on any given day and typically I move between five and 8000 pounds of something around during the course of the day so I am extremely strong and am not interested in some couch potato stuffing doughnuts in her face three times a day... while watching some worthless soap opera...
Also not at all interested in a woman that wants to spend her day off window shopping, for shoes she doesn't need...
Although I own several properties, I don't own a television set! And for 30 years never have...
I hope that answers your question honey 96...
So even with a the world of Internet dating what difference does it make?
I wont date any one that is not considering the possibility of haveng a child so I am certain that what I said in my previous post about getting realistic about the possibility of myself finding a good woman with a good job that may or may not want to have children is about as close to zero as it's going to get, at least in this country anyway...
So like I said in my previous post, it is all this nonsense in this particular thread that has made me come to the conclusion that finding a woman in America is more of a fantasy than the possibility of a reality...
In two years I will liquidate and move to another country and take my chances,,,
Unless of course CURLYBOOP,
WHO IS A 9.9 EMAILS ME FIRST, WITH SOME SOLID, DATING, ADVICE...

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 3:25:14 PM | WOW! keysguy... I can see why you are still single. How very sad you are so bitter and picky. You have set yourself up for failure to find someone. I am sure there are alot of great people on this site who are real and good and kind, but with that attitude I doubt you will ever find someone. You need to allow people to be who they are, not fit into some impossible mold you've created.
I have not had much luck on this site as I happen to be one of those overweight ladies, not due to stuffing my face with doughnuts, but because of a thyroid disorder. I 've emailed guys with no reply.....yes it is rude and quite childish at this age, but that seems to be the norm on dating sites. I am a wonderful person with alot to offer, I have inner and outer beauty, and if men don't want to get to know me because of my weight....it is their loss. I have plenty of friends and family to share my life with and if I meet someone, great, and if not..........life goes on....it is up to us to make ourselves happy.... | |

Hey keysguy369, I thought about doing that. I am not trying to be down on the ladies here or bad mouth anyone but truth is truth. It's hard to find a woman in the USA with the kind of values that makes a guy want to stay around. Women in the USA put everything ahead of there mates now. Now, If a woman has a job her husband comes in second to it. Women now just don't seem to care about family and home like they use to. I have been out with Chinese and Philippine women and have found them to be more like American women used to be. I found them to be more loving and understanding than most of the American women i have ever dated. The only thing i can tell you though is be very careful of the Russian women. You can get more trouble than you bargained for with them. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 3:45:33 PM | sorry but don't agree that intenet dating is good for women, not all of us are that lucky . I have had arrangments to meet three different men first one stood me up ,and the other two said we'd meet for coffee and failed to ring , great , I am not a person that is into material things or people and i am average looking ,friends say i have a great personality so why do men do this? As soon as you say you are not into one nights stands they dump you like a hot potatoe . , and i guess there in lies my answer , all they want is sex which is great but hey lets get to know each .other first  | |

I would like to humbly point out that your unreasonable expectations combined with your low opinion of women in general are perhaps contributing to your lack of dating success. I know that I, too, am perhaps too particular when it comes to who I choose to date, but that is my choice and I certainly wouldn't come onto a forum on a site where I'm hoping to find a date and proclaim the complete unsuitability of the entire opposite sex.
Just a thought. | |
|
| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/12/2008 7:55:30 PM | BLUEEYED GIRL42...
I DONT THINK YOUR READING BETWEEN THE LINES...
I, NO LONGER .am seeking a a date on this site or an other, I said in a previous post that the fourms have in fact helped...
I now realize that this is a not a viable method of finding a mate for me...
My low opinion is of people both men and women in gereral...
And what i want is waht i want,,,if i****around with words and subdafuge ill spend all kind s of time meeting people i will not like any way,,, so what would be the point??
If dating is all i was interested in ,,,
I get in my car and go pick up a pig at a local bar... it is that simple...!
or go by boat and pick up really good looking pig in a bar on the water...
but that is not what I want...Contray to what you belive,,,I could appear to be a regular fellow with a few smooth lines...
but this is the inter net and i dont care any more,,,finding a women on here is not somthing I have tried to do several weeks....no, not one email out,,,you dont get it,,,the forum worked for me,,,I give up,,,the ****es win,,,ok...?
I tried the truth...that did not work...
i tried being smooth that did not work...
I tried the forums,,,that worked Im cured,,,
Its a waste of time and we spend most of it expalining and re explaing some comment to some mental midget that does not give a crap about me any way... so whats the point???
I want and expect more...

blueeyedgirl, Not trying to pick sides here. Maybe your right about keysguy. But think about this. You have been here since 2007. I don't know how long you have been coming to the forums. But since you have been here this long i am sure you have seen your fair share of post about the women on this site. I do see some post by women on here that say there having the same problem as men when it comes to being ignored. But, From what i read there are more men than women with that problem. With that said, Don't you think that as far as Internet dating goes that it just really doesn't work? It may work for one out of 100. But for the vast majority it doesn't? Don't you think that a guy who sends out messages to women and never get anything but read/delete/ignore is after a while going to get a bad opinion of the women here? Me personally, I don't care. I am comfortable in myself. I don't have to have a woman by my side to complete me. But not all guys are like me. In the time i have been here about all i have seen are women and men who are bitter about there failed relationships. There so caught up in themselves and so afraid to let anyone in that the vast majority of people here never find anyone. We (Including me) are just someone else's throw away. There are a lot of guys and gals that have been thrown away more than once. That is part of the reason why when people get on here with there high hopes thinking that with all the women and men on here at any given time they should find a connection. But when they start sending out messages only to have them read/deleted all it does is bring back that thrown away feeling. That is where a lot of guys get that bad opinion of women. Just my thoughts.  | |

You make a good point. I think a lt of people who jump into this before they are mentally ready to handle rejection. You've got to have a pretty tough skin. Also, you have to realize they aren't rejection YOU b/c they don't know you. But I've had to take breaks from time to time b/c it became bad for my self-esteem.
People turn people down for a lot of reasons. One guy looked too much like my brother and it was freaking me out. You can't always assume the worst. Also, there are a lot of fake profiles - and not just the ones with model-type photos.

, NO LONGER .am seeking a a date on this site or an other, I said in a previous post that the fourms have in fact helped...
I hear that alot....from people who still have "long term", pics on their profile, first date descriptions etc.
Since one cannot fully hide their profile (they show on the forums), I believe that those TRULY not looking would reflect that better.
I believe that most women should realize that the dating game is a tad tougher for men. Seriously, they still live under this guise of having "to be the man" in this "equal" world which isn't exactly equal for some people.
I do believe though that dating in general in harder today...so many factors as to why though.
As for women contacting men on here, I did my share, far more than men contacted me at times and I got "thrown away" too.
I'd much rather get rejected on here for my pic or my preferences or my profile than for two reasons I was rejected for in the past once the person found out - that one really stung and to this day, I still think that I am flawed and that people won't stick around for that reason.....some of you should try being rejected for something more than your looks or profile sometime, it hurts alot more. Of course, it does make one tough and then the simple POF rejection means nothing. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/13/2008 6:16:27 AM | Thanks for your comments and thoughts, Eddie.
I was not trying to say he's wrong about some of the women here, but proclaiming the uselessness of the entire group that is American women is pretty harsh. I realize he is (as we all are) entitled to his opinion, but if the reverse had happened, and I were to post in the forum that I thought all men were fat, lazy, drunk, unambitous slobs (which, by the way, is NOT the way I feel) my guess is that I'd be blasted by more than a few men that aren't any (or at least not ALL of those things). They would, however, at that point consider me completely un-datable.
You are correct....I have been on this site for 8 months. If it was as bad as everyone is claiming, I wouldn't be here either! I have met some nice guys and a couple of jerks. I have been on a couple of dates that were good, and a couple that went nowhere.
We all (men and women) have had the "read/deleted", "unread/deleted" scenarios. I think the problem is not internet dating in and of itself, but rather that so many people have unrealistic expectations of what they are going to find here. Many expect that internet dating will allow them to find a relationship when they are unable to find one offline. The internet (not specifically dating on the internet) has fed the need for instant gratification, and a lot of people assume that even though you're dealing with human emotions and feelings.....if it's online, it's yours for the asking. It's really more like ebay...you have to be the highest bidder (and I'm not talking $, I'm talking about the total package deal that you have to offer). However, there is often a "reserve" and if you don't meet it, the "seller" may opt not to sell. Yes, the "seller" may then be stuck with the goods, but that's his/her choice.
I just think (and again, this is only MY opinion) that if you're not happy here, you should get out, but (whether you are a man OR a woman) don't blame the entire opposite sex, for your lack of dating success. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/13/2008 6:46:43 AM | You should be on the females side darlin..... I think we should call it as we see it. It sucks for both male & female because there just aren't enough honest and sincere people on dating sites.. Most are looking for games & drama not anything real...
"And dont come and tell me that its the same for women too because that is bull sh it."
Hate if for you but the truth is the truth.... Maybe it has nothing to do with who you email but what you say or your just looking for someone perfect & that my friend your not going to fine, no one is perfect as much as they seem to think they are.... Good Luck!!!! | |

You make a good point.
Thank you. But there is still one thing that bugs me. You and blueeyedgirl are very good looking women. One would think that you two would be beating the guys off with a stick. | |

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/13/2008 2:27:48 PM | Thank you, Eddie....I'll have to go with curlyboop here.....you'll have to ask the guys in Michigan what's going on with that! Maybe the fact that I play with sticks scares them off. Guess I should ditch the hockey-chick-pic...LOL!!
Seriously, though.....I have met some great guys on this site. They just don't live HERE! Most of the guys I meet playing hockey think I'm great. But they are all either married or dating. I don't go to bars, and I work in a dental office, so we have one man there (the boss......not a good choice) and dating patients is not really a good idea.

| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women. Posted: 7/13/2008 8:40:24 PM | Well, I guess for us folks that don't like the bars and clubs this is it. We have hit the end of the line. So, Maybe everybody should just stop griping about how Internet dating sucks the big one and just embrace it. Heck, In one sense of the word it ain't all that bad. At least the women don't have some drunk pawing all over them. For us guys it is more easy to sift through the women that only want money or some poor schmuck to make a living for them. At least Internet dating does make it more easy for us guys and gals that really want a true relationship to sift through the lower life forms until we find the diamond of a human being that is hidden somewhere in the middle.  | |
