| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women.
Posted: 8/27/2008 5:47:17 PM | | I feel your pain somewhat, and by that I mean I have been where you are at. I know it can be frustrating, but I'd like to share a story. I have (2) friends, one is a successful architect, the other is just above drifter status. Takes odd jobs when he can find them, doesn't own much of anything, drugs and alcohol. The thing these guys have in common is that they were both born with extremely good looks. I would go out with these guys back in the day, and just stand there with my mouth hanging open. Drop dead gorgeous girls coming on to them like you wouldn't believe - almost as soon as walked into the place. They wouldn't even give me a second glance, or say one word to me, and I'm standing right there! You talk about being crushed and deflated. It was a real eye opener for me. I quit going off to party with them because I just came home feeling like a total looser! It bothered me for years, but I tell ya what I discovered. What I saw with these guys is that they didn't give a rat's ass about these women. Most of the time they totally ignored them - it blew me away! What I wouldn't give to have just one night like that to know what it feels like! But this is something these guys have had all of their lives. It meant nothing to them. Girls have been falling at their feet since elementary school. There was no "Thrill" for them at all. As I type this I know the God's honest truth that neither one of them is happy! The architect married a Russian girl that ending up leaving him and took him to the cleaners for a pile of money with the divorce. The odd job friend is living in a run down trailer with nothing really going on in his life. For the most part attractive women still come on to them, but are they happy? I don't think they are. Look at Elvis for God's sake! Had it as good as any man can have it on this Earth, yet sadly died as a recluse on the toilet. Sad stuff. We all know that life isn't fair. I wasn't born looking like Brad Pitt, but I also haven't been burnt to pieces and disfigured by a gasoline explosion. There are times when I can take self pity that I don't have it all, but in the same day my heart can bleed for a beautiful 12 year old, bald and dying of cancer. Be Thankful. Try and keep the Faith. What is it that you really want? Do you want to bed down as many women as you can? Is that gonna do it for ya? Or do you want to fall in Love with one girl for the rest of your life? Is there a guarantee of any of it? Many of us have been out with beautiful women, and after being with them for five minutes, your trying to figure out a nice way to get the hell outta there. So beauty in and of itself, doesn't always bring the euphoria we all like to experience. It's tough at times to keep on smilin' when things don't go our way, but there will always, always be someone out there that has it way worse than you do...... | |

Posted: 8/27/2008 7:32:16 PM | | I agree this is the way of things. What I do is date a few women and they usually have unpleasant attitudes and personalities but I try to be as pleasant as possible and after a few weeks I take myself off the site and tell them how bad the women are there. So far the sites don't change and it may be because too many guys are unwilling to get off the sites and give the women fewer choices. I notice some women are always on these sites and that leads me to believe they are on it only for the free meals and entertainment they get from the guys. Let's go on strike guys. Pat | |

man, you guys are ridiculous. You make me wish to delete my profile and move on. At least reading off the MOST of you males, I can see how you think, and I can see why my relationships have sucked due to what I do.
I've heard that cry before, everyday from peers, actually. All this "crying" is no different on the site than it is in real life when it comes to a lot of males. And I thought this was an individual thing, but now "you are scaring me."
Guess what, most of my dates, I tried to understand your few, and I have been what you can describe as a "cheap date." Most of it was at home, or at the guy's house, or some public activity that did not cost a thing. Dinner was not some hugely fancy restaurant, and I've paid enough of it too being that I do not live in a that huge a salary at all. And I have never been more direspected by anybody than those dates on "the long run," which is really about a month to MAYBE six.
Now, on the other side of the coin, when I CLEARLY show that I'm interested in going out and the food, when I treat the guy "half-well" and don't give him the chance of the day or "play hard" (only because I'm not truly interested in the SAME way), then they call you, they want to go out with you more often, and I bet they go home and nag about how women are just like you.
Go, leave the site. lol, make a circus. This is for people who need an extra venue to find someone specific due to their schedule, to their environment, to their, whatever the reason is. But this is no battle of the sexes.
Maybe this is the big difference between a paid and a nonpaid site. POF is seeming more like a twisted version of MySpace than anything else. I am wondering when they'll have it so that people are sorted by "how many have them as favorites."
And those without picture on their profile, simple: they want to take the chance to be viewed by the public (e.g. co-worker, relatives, etc). It is hardly because they are "ugly" or "beautiful."
And by the way, it's funny that someone who's so active in the Forums talk about people who are "on these sites all the time." | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 8:56:06 AM | Try emailing a woman who does not have a picture, she might be gorgeous and what you seek, but then she might be gorgeous and a larger woman, imagine that.
On various threads, you ( and some other BBWs ) have complained about men not wanting to date you because of your body type. Yet on your profile, you stated that you aren't interested in black men. That's hypocritical. A person can't change their race. However most fat people can lose some weight if they think they aren't getting many dates due to their weight. Yes there are some people who have medical conditions that cause them to be fat, but they are the exceptions. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 8:59:45 AM | "man, you guys are ridiculous."
No; we males just tell the truth and females cannot stand it that we state the truth!
"You make me wish to delete my profile and move on."
Go ahead and help yourself. No ones stopping you. Like females attitudes to males, they don't give a rip. Neither will we!
"At least reading off the MOST of you males, I can see how you think, and I can see why my relationships have sucked due to what I do."
Women need to examine their motives, reasons why, ideas, what they want, etc. Maybe this will help you determine the correct decisions next time and avoid the pitfalls of making the same mistakes.
"I've heard that cry before, everyday from peers, actually. All this "crying" is no different on the site than it is in real life when it comes to a lot of males. And I thought this was an individual thing, but now "you are scaring me." "
Yes it is really scarey to simply look around in real life as well as on the net and see how pervasive the games of self-seeking women are. And it's not even Halloween yet!
"Guess what, most of my dates, I tried to understand your few, and I have been what you can describe as a "cheap date." Most of it was at home, or at the guy's house, or some public activity that did not cost a thing. Dinner was not some hugely fancy restaurant, and I've paid enough of it too being that I do not live in a that huge a salary at all. And I have never been more direspected by anybody than those dates on "the long run," which is really about a month to MAYBE six."
Well I am from the midwest, was taught by my parents the right way to date is to ALWAYS PAY for HER whatever it is she and I are doing. Except for a VERY FEW times, I always have. I am not a CHEAPSKATE. " 2 " I can think of were nice and respectful and joined in financially with paying for the dating experiences. ALL THE REST just took, took, took. NOW, .......if this was YOUR experience, YOU WOULD BE "CRYING" about it too!!!
"Now, on the other side of the coin, when I CLEARLY show that I'm interested in going out and the food, when I treat the guy "half-well" and don't give him the chance of the day or "play hard" (only because I'm not truly interested in the SAME way), then they call you, they want to go out with you more often, and I bet they go home and nag about how women are just like you."
What I have experienced, even on the first meets, they "PLAY" the "GAME" and play hard to get. If a male is a nice, "average" guy, they snub him. If he is a jerk, they snub him. What the he!! is a nice, kind, decent male supposed to gather from that? It's BS.
"Go, leave the site. lol, make a circus."
Nope. We, the nice, "average" guys don't need to leave this site. Be a strong minded personality that females say they are and tell the mind game players to leave, that this site is for SERIOUS INQUIRERS ONLY! Oh, by the way, look around. The circus is all around everyone everywhere. Don't need another one!
"Maybe this is the big difference between a paid and a nonpaid site."
Nope. If you READ the forums, postings say that ALL paid sites have all the SAME game playing females.
"And those without picture on their profile, simple: they want to take the chance to be viewed by the public (e.g. co-worker, relatives, etc). It is hardly because they are "ugly" or "beautiful." "
Oh really??? Tell me then. Why is it EVERY ONE of the females that does not post a pic of themselves turns out to be obeise when after almost begging them in a respectful way to rightly see a pic of them? It's like a dentist pulling teeth for a guy to get them to post a pic on the net because they know that once it's up to be viewed by all, voila, no more interest is shown to them.
"And by the way, it's funny that someone who's so active in the Forums talk about people who are "on these sites all the time." "
It's also HILLARIOUS to see ALL the women that tell a nice guy they ALMOST NEVER have time to be on POF logged in anytime day or night, 24/7. Dang funny!
But them "looking a guy straight in the eye" so to speak, and lying like a dog, is NOT funny. | |

Posted By: Cynderella on 8/27/2008 10  00 PM As for the Bull sh*t towards women having a hard time...well no bull sh*t...it's hard for everyone!!! Dating Sucks
Then why "date"? Living in Europe I discovered that your social life can be built on "going out with friends" rather than one-on-one "dating." It works a lot better. Life goes more smoothly when you cut loose from the social pressure to be "hooked up" and just let matching take place naturally without pushing it. | |

This guy has a problem. Apparently he has not yet grown up away from his parents. They, not he, give him his values.
He thinks there is a "right way to date." Perhaps it has never dawned on him that when grownup adults meet they are capable of deciding for themselves what the shape of their relationship can be. I can't imagine any women he meets would be pleased to find that he carries his parents around with him in his mind, dictating to him the way he is "supposed" to relate to her.
He thinks he must "ALWAYS PAY for HER." Well, that's the business ethics of your transaction with a hooker. It is not the way real free human beings relate to each other when each is a free individual with dignity and self-esteem. Modern women do not need to be patronized or "kept." Every woman in our time no longer needs to be "property," as women were once the "property" of men. Today's woman is your equal, dude - get used to it. Patriarchy is dying if not yet totally dead.
To justify his blindness to the modern world of reality, he then tries to bolster his sagging ego with the pathetic plea "I am not a cheapskate." Right, like Richard Nixon was "not a crook." Chances are he is cheap or insecure deep down, but he feels compelled to act out the role of the male that his parents taught him, so he cannot allow the women he meets to do the things he does in their relationship, such as picking up the tab. If he isn't cheap, let him start being generous - and allow that the women he meets might also wish to be generous. Maybe he could make room for them to be whatever they want to be.
Does any man in 2009 really feel driven to hold women down in a subservient role by forcing them to accept his mastery of the situation? If he has ever met a woman who not only was his equal but who insisted on being recognized as his equal, is he able to meet her as his equal - or does it scare the bejesus out of him when she doesn't submit to filling the role of the passive subservient dependent that his parents taught him women are "supposed" to be?
How did this sad situation come about in this guy's life? Ah, here's a clue. He not only IS from the Midwest; after all there are plenty of really cool people in the Midwest. But he makes a point of saying so! Does he think that it's something to cling to, to hang on to the attitudes of a culture in which some school boards actually expect their teachers to deny the science of biology even 150 years after "Origin of Species"?
Internet "dating" can be fun when you give up imposing your expectations on it, and on people at PoF, and see things as they really are and let them be that way. And every man and every woman, whether at PoF or in life in general is cool in his or her own way. And is worthy of being regarded as not role-defined but potentially equal to you. | |

And they often have outrageous expectations and standards like "he must be tall, handsome, intelligent, witty, goal-oriented, ambitious etc etc and all the usual bullsh it.
Did I miss something? Since when is intelligence and goal-orientated such an outrageous expectation? I don't think it's too much to ask for at all.
Personally speaking...if all a person does is post some "sexy pics and write practically nothing" in a profile.....it's like saying all they have to offer is their looks. Looks are nice, but a relationship has to be based on more than that. If all you depend on are your looks, and they get taken from you....then where are you?
I think it's equally hard for girls to meet guys on a dating site too. I've messaged quite a few guys and never received a response. If a girl doesn't look like a super model, it seems the repsonses are less than if she was slim and attractive. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 10:00:07 AM | | IMO one of the biggest problems with internet dating is that many people ( men and women ) are too picky. I'm not suggesting that a person should date someone who they consider to be completely unattractive or unappealing. But there is no harm in talking to someone who might not be exactly your usual physical type or doesn't exactly match a long list of requirements. Sometimes a person that is somewhat different than your usual type can be a good match for you. If there isn't any connection after some emails, phone calls, or even a few dates, then you can end things with that person. | |

I agree. When I was younger, I mostly dated tall athletic white men. But when I got older, I started dating more men that didn't exactly match this description. Such as a shorter athletic white man or a tall slender white man or a tall athletic black man etc. I never felt that I was settling when I dated these men. Perhaps more people would be in serious relationships if they were more flexible in terms of who they would consider dating. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 11:23:20 AM | As I get older, I find the opposite is true. Unless I meet a woman
that really turns me on, I just couldn't be bothered! I would rather
spend quality time with my cat (lol) then spend the time, effort and money,
dating, and going through the motions with someone that I'm just not into!
I'm sure that I'm not the only one, and I'm sure this accounts for a lot of the HIGH
rejection rate on this site!
EDIT: And I just wanted to point out something about me, that is decidedly
different then many women looking for a man! I don't need anything! I can
rebuild a Diesel engine if need be! I can do plumbing and probably design and
build the electrical system of a small submarine if need be! lol I am happy where
I am living, and don't owe anybody any money! So many women, pretend to
JUST want LOVE, but really have an agenda, above that! Not me! I have a very
few select friends and lots of acquaintances, but really do get along well with myself!
So I am not lonely for company either!
Actually it would be far easier to have some common goal with a woman, like buying
a house, or something like that. Of course, that doesn't mean the relationship is any
good and may in fact be overshadowed by the goals at hand!

Oh, so I take it you do not ever READ the forums; otherwise you would logically know about all the MANY, MANY postings of males who were taught that and brought up that way. Further, if you would have read 1/4 the postings that I have read you would find that ALMOST all the guys say they pay for each and every date, they ALWAYS have, and it was the way they were taught.
"He thinks there is a "right way to date." Perhaps it has never dawned on him that when grownup adults meet they are capable of deciding for themselves what the shape of their relationship can be. I can't imagine any women he meets would be pleased to find that he carries his parents around with him in his mind, dictating to him the way he is "supposed" to relate to her."
No, I KNOW there is a right way to date. I'll tell you how I shape my first meetings and dating/relationships after years of being used and taken advantage of: I insist that it is DUTCH or they are welcome to NEXT! me and move on to the NEXT guy. I have in the past, and will ALWAYS want to in the FUTURE, contribute equally WITH a female IF we are EACH OTHER'S significant other. Anyone chooses to do so differently may do so. I choose to not be taken advantage of anymore.
For your additional info., I don't "carry my parents around with me." If you knew a tenth of all I have been through in my life, that point would roll over you like a snowball rolling nonstop down a hill!
"Every woman in our time no longer needs to be "property," as women were once the "property" of men."
Haven't got a clue, have you?.................about me and how I truly treat, feel about women, do you?
"To justify his blindness to the modern world of reality, he then tries to bolster his sagging ego with the pathetic plea "I am not a cheapskate." Right, like Richard Nixon was "not a crook."

I am not blind to the reality of this modern crappy world with many, many crappy people. I spent , for MANY years $60.00 on gasoline for EVERY WEEKEND when gas was .48 cents a gallon!!! For a girlfriend I dated not to even mention all the gifts, dinners, movies, flowers, weekend trips, etc., I bought for her and for friends to take them with me in MY car, AND pay their way also, to have a weekend outing. No, I am NOT a cheapskate. Got a question for you "dude". Would you side with your wife, when married, and was given the ultimatum, leave your wife or you lose $200,000 dollars and your part of the family business, and it was your FAMILY giving you the ultimatum, what would you do, "dude"??? I stuck by my then-at-the-time wife and suffered severly financially AND otherwise for many years to come. i think that allows me the privilege to say I made room for them all to be whatever they wanted to be! No, I am NOT a cheapskate and I do know the proper way to treat and address women.
"How did this sad situation come about in this guy's life? Ah, here's a clue. He not only IS from the Midwest; after all there are plenty of really cool people in the Midwest.

Are you predjudiced or a racist? I thought it was okay and we all live in a free America to state where we live or are from/grew up. Again, YOU don't pay attention to what you read on the forums as thousands of people have stated the same info. about themselves for whatever reason or point that they were making at the time. Again, are you predjudiced?
"Internet "dating" can be fun when you give up imposing your expectations on it, and on people at PoF, and see things as they really are and let them be that way."
I WILL keep up and maintain my expectations of internet dating and POF, the females on POF, as that is my sexual preference, females, and continue as I always have to "see" things, dating, the net, POF, and females for what they truly are. It is up to them and the rest of the world to live up to and be honest, truthful, trustworthy, accountable, dependable, responsible, caring, and the like.
IF THEY choose to be anything other than the just named qualities, I will continue to call a spade.........a spade. THEY make their decisions and choices. I just tell it like it is. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 1:40:54 PM | In my short experience on POF, I have come to the realization that women on here operate on "PASS/FAIL" system. A system where one slight fault, as they see it, is an automatic fail.
One female's profile, blatantly stated that he wouldn't respond if she saw that more than 27 people had favorite listed ya! I mean, c'mon!!!
I think that women approach this intentionally "LOOKING" for reasons to reject, not "LOOKING" for potential. Many of you ladies, indirectly imply, that a guy must have a PERFECT profile before you would even consider talking to the guy. You don't even take the time to get the story or an explanation behind his "perceived" fault. For all you know, you could be misunderstanding what he's saying! I know that it's happened to me!
You can make the argument that internet dating sucks for women because, look what you have to work with. And, I'll make the same argument for the guys. Yet, I think that guys put in a LOT more effort than what they are credited for or appreciated for.
Have a field day with this post, I'm ready for it. LMAO | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 2:08:27 PM | | I am Gladyou said it buddy but I would have to totally agree with you.I am on about 9 different sites and they are all the same.Mind you the other sites I get tones of responses but they are mostly from out of this country.Who wants to travel all over the world to meet some one when you should get the same response here.Women in North America have got it too good.I swear most women on this site and others would rather date their computer cause they spend so much time going through all their emails and probably like you said wait for a ten then actually going on a date.I am almost thinking at least for a guy the old stile of dating is the way to go cause internet dating sucks.Woemen wonder why men turn to only wanting one night stands or friends with benefits.Wake up lady's all men need loving and if you don't give us a chance then we have to find other alternative.I just want to say you hit the nail on the head buddy good work.Also yes most of the women around here are stuck up because they can be.Almost makes the lady's from other countries look tempting and hey I have seen and been contacted by women from other countries that would make most of the women on here look like 4 out of ten. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 2:16:28 PM | | Lots of interesting points in here but I can't understand how SO many of you go on about "all the dates I've had" "all the people I've met from here" etc etc.How on earth are you finding all these people to go on dates with?!!. The OP said, he hardly get any replies and thats true for me also, so how on earth are you supposed to find all "these people" to date?!!!.I guess those saying that, live in big cities and have hundreds of women to contact who live within a few miles of them...If I put in a search for a female within 30 miles between say the ages of 34-42 who doesnt smoke and have a pic (not exacly asking for too much!) , I get 35 matches in total...yes 35!!...if you say even as many as 10 of them match what you're looking for and you send them emails, you may get 1 back showing some interest...and then what do you do after that?...start looking for people who live hours away?..well Ive tried that and it doesnt work.So I say, all you out there who whinge about going on lots of dates and yet can't find the right person or get messed about, think yourself damn lucky that you've at least had a CHANCE to meet some people...In total I've been on here for about 9 months (on and off) and have actually met ONE person in that time!!!....so in conclusion, i agree with the OP when he says internet dating sucks..but I think it can be bad for both men AND women ESPECIALLY those who don't live in heavily populated areas. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 2:24:34 PM | ^^^^^I do shake my head about that too!
I live in the boonies and don't want a long distance relationship (again).
I do a broad search within 50 miles and get 872 matches!
I narrow it down to, no children (I don't have any), thin and non-smoker,
and get 12 matches.
8 don't interest me, and the remaining 4, of which 2 I am only
lukewarm about, don't reply! Welcome to POF for Men lol
It is, what it is! | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 5:09:49 PM | Living in a big city helps, but I find that a lot of big-city women are more demanding regarding men they'll date (or won't date). At least if you live in a big city then there's a decent-sized foreign population there. If you live in a small town chances are if you date someone of the same race, chances are they just might be related to you.
Right now I'm totally ignoring foreign women because I'm not working and I have health problems. However, if I don't find a local woman by the time I get back on my feet with work and health, then I'll go back to foreign women, most likely Latin women. If a Latin women likes you, you'll know it. They generally don't play games in love. That's a general statement of course and there are always exceptions, but one is heavily influenced by the culture he or she grew up in and as a part of. | |

Posted: 8/28/2008 5:22:33 PM | | I can't believe there are so many pages to this stupid statement. Internet dating, especially on a site as big as POF sucks for EVERYONE! Yet, here we are, for all of our individual reasons. The forums provide a psuedo-social life that isn't available for lots of people who work hard all day at their jobs, or school, or raising children. It's a natural that the people you find most appealing live too far away to consider developing a close relationship. Friends are great, and I have made a few I'd never have met any other way. For that alone, this site has been awesome. As far as the ONE, or whatever you'd like to call it....a huge dating site is a crapshoot. I'd never expect to find the love of my life on a site like this outside of a complete miracle! Still....it's good to have a bit of psuedo interaction. The real stuff doesn't come from a computer.... | |

Posted: 9/3/2008 11:43:06 AM | | I agree. It is because of that unbalance combined with quite a large number of pickyness that makes it a big numbers game. I have been on here for several years and rewritten my profile several times. I have been on 3 dates. All of which went nowhere. I have much to offer but it is of no use when the dates turn out like that fantastic car deal ad anyone can see in the newspaper. When you get to the dealership you find the car sold already and that there was only 1. But we have these!!?? Its called bait and switch. One thinks they are getting one thing and meet up to find something entirely different. False advertising in a nutshell. a.) pics were 5 to 8 years old b) they really just wanted a free meal c) More emotional baggage then one person should ever have to carry! Oh well that's life! ;) | |

Posted: 9/3/2008 1:58:17 PM | This is such a crock of shit!!! I can't believe there is anything to argue about here......online dating is difficult for both sexes. I don't always get responses either but I'm not crying about it!! Grow up and move on! Oh and for the record ......I never choose a guy based on looks or profession....if I'm with someone....it's because I like them for who they are.....not what they look like!! | |

If your tired of the same old thing, try something different!

Posted: 9/3/2008 8:56:43 PM | | Hey, I'll sum it up. This site and all other sites are just one small element of my "exposure marketing" program. If you are relying primarily on this or any other internet site and aren't getting out into the social scene often, your odds of success approximate those of playing the lottery. Take that back, the lottery probably has better odds. Personally, from all of my dates/relationships, TWO were from the internet, ALL others from boldly approaching women in public. Don't fear rejection, it fades away after a while. Know the locations: grocery store, yes it works; library, possible but timing is crucial; public parks, if you have a dog, odds double. Get the idea? Here's the riff - girls most active on the social scene aren't hanging out on a web site. But I do enjoy reading these forums ... :) | |
