| Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women.
Posted: 9/11/2008 8:15:39 AM | ^^I agree, which is why I posted the second part of my statement, below:
If, however she is both expecting the best AND complaining there are no men, then yes I agree that it's pretty stupid. It's like being too shy and wanting to meet someone....you can't have both, you have to give something up. | |

Posted: 9/11/2008 8:34:53 AM | Reading the last few pages...
One must not forget the men and women who didnt start out with high standards... had thier fun, got burned... and then suddenly decided that there was something much better out there that they feel they are more deserving of, and now, they wont settle...
Many times, after the fact, with kids in tow, they are suddenly looking for that man/woman to come in and play dad/mom to thier brood of kids they had after their bought with their "low standards" significant other.
Makes it difficult for men/women who have alway had the high standards, and expect more from people. Suddenly then, they are labeled as old fashioned, or their morals are out of date and standards are too high.
Start out with that bar set pretty low, its hard to come out shining in the end. | |

I want to apologized if I misread and misunderstood your post, maybe a a dumb foreigner who dont understand English, not born here so my language is not perfect at the least.

Like I said, Heavyiron couldn't handle me, and I hate to see grown men cry! 
So if that were to happen then the Subject title would still be applicable:
Internet Dating: Sucks for men (Heavyiron getting his butt whipped by a woman) and great for women (Because I kick butt!!! ....  )
Heavyiron, come out from behind the door, don't be afraid - I am just kidding!
And if you want me to post pictures of that I'll have to charge ya! | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 1:18:23 AM | And here i was thinking this thread was going to die. OK everybody, I got a bet going here. We got to get to 100 pages of total bullshyt. Surly there is someone out there who can think of something else to bitc% about that would take up 6 more pages. We can't let this one die till it hits 100. Lets see, Hummmmmmm, trying to think of something i can stir the pot with, Hummmmmmmmm ,It's so hard to think of something,Hummmmmmmmmm, I can't think of anything else. Wait!!! What about this, Internet dating wouldn't be so hard for guys if they put as much of there energy into fixing there problem (the reason no one will answer them) as they do in bitc%ing about it. That should do it.  | |

Wow...that's a long reply......I think I'll wait for the movie...
Get used to it!!! He likes to hear himself type.
Keysguy What the heck are you jabbering about? I am absolutely sure that Heavy knows I am joking with him. Unlike you who don't seem to have a clue.
Subliminal what? Well that's what you get for thinking... and my bathtub is spotless clean as is my home. But if I had to choose between a diamond ring from you and a filthy bathtub ring from anyone - well there's no doubt - I'd take the bathtub ring.
What's a matter Keysguy, get another rejection? Maybe they read your posting.
As for tapping that sweetjam. Mmm the words "complete frickin moron" comes to mind. Jealous that he might have a chance and you get rejections?
I think the not getting returned emails is because you come off as a whiney ng turned jackazz. So for you this thread must really ring true, unfortunately you will continue to blame it on the women and not look at yourself which is the true source of your problem. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 1:42:48 PM | Keysguy,
You are so funny!!
First of all it must have been a very small dish as I am starving!
And I choose to believe whatever I want, same as you!
Noone asked you to apologize, feel free to make any statement you want, but don't be all huffy when someone "serves ya back".
Funny - my bantering has been all comical relief. And you can have all the sour notes you want. You put out piggish comments for what purpose? You PUT yourself in the shark pen so it looks to me like you're wanting to get bit. And who is serving who?
Here is a test.... it's only a test.....
You say no woman will control you? I bet you have a great comeback for me!!! I will bet that you will not be able to resist coming back on and responding!!
And Keys - I am NOT yours to be giving to Heavyiron... I am no feminst but I certainly am no one's pet.
Well Internet dating: sucks for guys, good for women..... it is what you make of it.
It can suck for both genders. It can be a miserable experience, it can be a start of something wonderful with someone, it can be making alot of friends, it can be fun and humorous. It is what you make of it. | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 8:01:14 PM | LOL Keysguy... I knew you couldn't resist!
I hope things do work out for you and the "Republican Lady", and sorry about your past experiences. It happens to women too.
And what is Eddy's wish again? Uhhh yes - the 100 page goal.
As for HeavyIrons... Keys why are you so determined to see that all go down? And even if it did, HE would be MY exhubby if it went as you said (which 'ain't' happenin) He is still hiding behind the door anyway, so how in the heck would he ever manage to make it to an altar?
I guess personally, I like the site not for the reasons some might, mostly the forums and enjoy the "Adventure". | |

Posted: 9/14/2008 8:42:19 PM | | Geez, I don't know if i want to jump into the middle of this again or not. Keys guy, Is there a short version of whatever you might be thinking at the time? I think it's safe to say that most of us have no real idea of what your babbling about. To be honest i am surprised that your posts haven't already been deleted. Most of them are just long winded babble that has really nothing to do with the subject. What your doing borders on trying to high jack a thread and, or trolling. If i am not mistaken that's what they call it here. If one of the moderators happens to see all these long winded post that really has nothing to do with the thread, Internet dating: Sucks for guys, good for women. They will be deleted and your posting privileges revoked. Hey, Don't mean no harm here, Not trying to piss off anyone. Just telling it like it is. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 2:09:15 AM | Keysguy--
Perhaps we should change the topic for you......perhaps to something like "Internet dating : Sucks to be anyone but me?" Then you could post about the ACTUAL subject! Because, after all it IS all about you, now, isn't it?
I, for one, am getting really tired of hearing about what nightmares all women are. I happen to be a very intelligent, very well educated, reasonably attractive women, who has much of what you claim nearly all women lack: common sense. I don't, as you have so often said all women do, drink, smoke or use drugs. When will you figure out that we don't CARE how much money you make, how expensive your toys are, and most of all......how low of an opinion you have of women in general? No amount of money or fancy toys could convince me to come within several states of an egomaniac like you. (Or your friends, since have so often stated that YOU are the best of the lot.....)
I was trying NOT to feed the troll and so not respond to his jab at me about having a ready-made family and not being able to afford half of his ridiculously expensive lifestyle, but I'm afraid I'm going to do it anyway. I'm not asking YOU or any other man to support my children. I'm doing that just fine on my own. But just because I have 2 children (and can't have any more of my own) doesn't make me somehow damaged goods. AND.....even If I had enough money to afford $12,000 a month for a place to live I wouldn't do it....I'd do something worthwhile with my money. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 7:27:58 AM | What I see on these posts is a lot of women being confrontational. Sure, if a guy's being a dumba$$ then he needs a woman to straighten him out, but then again we guys don't want to come home to a confrontational girlfriend or wife. Who needs that? Life is confrontational enough.
The days of being able to make it on just the man's salary are gone (unless you're Bill Gates), so that's why guys on here want a woman who does not expect a man to take care of her (and her children from another guy, if applicable) financially.
Last time I checked, we had free speech in this country, so people like keyzguy369 can be as verbose as they want. And sure, women can say what they want too, and I know they will.

Posted: 9/15/2008 8:57:53 AM | WOW!!!! This thread is still going?????
I vote for closure and to send it down to archives!
Anybody else vote to archive this dead dog????
And while we're on the subject of short-story threads....................
Why is it that I'm no longer allowed to leave one-line responses anymore??
Some Mod has set it, so that I have to do a ton of writing to post in a thread anymore!
Sometimes, valuable responses don't have to be long-winded!! | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 12:58:26 PM | Okay, so if you didn't enjoy, say, racketball (since you kept getting hit in the face by the ball) would you continue to play the sport? The simple answer is "no".
So if you and every other guy doesn't enjoy online dating then why do you keep doing it? To continue to do something regardless of the negative feedback is not healthy.
I'm not trying to date here. I'm just hanging out and looking for friends. Like you, I know that online dating for guys really doesn't work out given the numbers.
Instead, I go places where the ratio is more women than men and I hang out *in real life*. So I've taken salsa and samba lessons. There's a really advantageous ratio there in both cases. And yet you're going to have to be confident to do that as a man. You'll then be shaking your ass in front of 30 beautiful/fit women.
So you can be successful (go take a dance class) or you can be unsuccessful (hang out in online dating sites). The choice is yours. | |

Posted: 9/15/2008 1:23:05 PM | I totaly agree, and will go one step further....
women on here need a reality check!
For example women in their mid forties are looking for guys 32-39, because they are getting mail from those guys, but they ( the guys) are just looking for an easy one night stand off an old bird while looking for something younger. | |

Good point...you do have to be somewhat balsy in a Salma/Samba situation because men are supposed to do the approaching traditionally. I attend Salsa nights with friends, and we sometimes drop in early for a lesson and (if I don't lead, which I tend to do by default and get yelled at by instructors when I dance with men who aren't real sure of the steps) it's a much more male dominated dance...
She follows your lead...and in my classes they rotate male/female partners even if you come with a date, so you really get to talk to every woman there.
Not a bad idea...and bonus - it's a GREAT workout! | |

| Some women have it rough also...
Posted: 9/15/2008 1:46:12 PM | | I had polio at age 4 and can't walk ... and even though I am very independent, self-sufficient, financially secure, educated, and KINDA CUTE ... guys are scared off by the wheelchair. My husband of 23 years died 6 years ago, and I'm just now trying out the Internet dating thingy. So far, no luck. At least it seems that older guys have a lot less "trouble" with the chair as younger guys did when I was a teenager. Guess that's a positive thing. Any comments, guys? Bonnie in Cottonwood (AZ) | |

Posted: 10/7/2008 3:40:04 PM | Well hello all, not that I really know what the heck is going on, thought I drop by say a few things myself on this internet dating thing. ( since that's the feed line) I have internet dated for the last three years, and am still single and looking for a man. Not just any man , one who can hold a conversation without the " how big is your boobs, ass thing?" Now I have met my share of Lying men who are married and just want to fool around, ( getting a call from the wife isn't fun). I have met my share of nice guys, unfortunately the dating thing didn't pan out but we have remained friends. Which is a good thing. Now on the flip side, I am sure there are many many woman out there playing games with you guys too. ( Like how much money do you make and I am only a 120 pds and you meet her and she is 220 pds) In this " dating scene it's a flip a coin thing on whether or not it works. So does the real world, if you met someone at a bar, movie, grocery store, it'd be the same thing..it's a game of chance. If people, both men and women were truly honest , you wouldn't have any thing to complain about. Right? | |

Posted: 11/7/2008 10:45:46 AM | Unless a guy is making over $100,000 annually, is above 6 feet tall, and shows the best pictures that cannot be misconstrued as unappealing there is no way he has a chance with the attractive women.
IT IS BULLSHIT HOW WOMEN "GET OFF" running there little agenda with less to offer but expecting everything to gain.
Truth is guys, the cesspool of rejects and jaded women flock to online dating if they are socially inept and bars if they have social skills. Furthermore, woman with their one line replies don't have the brain power to carry on a conversation much less write more sentences.
Some guys like a challenge and I'm all for that when it comes to attractive women. When the return becomes less than the investment, it's time to revaluate your goals:
1) Should you continue using the internet? If so....do you change your strategy like targeting women in the 5 to 7 range since they probably have somewhere around 60& to 70% success.
1 to 5 - Ugly Women
5 to 7 - Average Women
7 to 8 - Cute or Attractive Women
8 to 10 - Hot Women
2) However, if a woman in the 5 to 7 range is getting say 20% success in a bar your chances are better there but then you'll have to do it face to face.

Posted: 11/7/2008 11:19:42 AM | Nate-
You are a tool. You wonder why you have ZERO luck with women? Online or in person? Becuase you are shallow and judgemental. You have no sense of humor. You write like you are doing a 10th grade book report. Way to post your little "rating" system man ... Women love that.
Success or failure meeting people online is dependent on your ability to communicate that you are intelligent, have a sense of humor, are not afraid, and can come up with something better to say in your first contact than.. "Let's meet for coffee"
You, obviously, have none of these skills. So stop haitng, and climb back in the Craftsman roll-away with the rest of the tools. | |
