oldfashioned, I don't think so. Many guys would like a woman like that.
I would guess that you first statement was probably more accurate.

I'll go out on a limb and state that I think the majority of women that do online dating fall into this category. I can say I'm pretty damn picky myself, but I can also say I have realistic expectations and am capable of getting what I want. For women it just seems, they are always in the "who's next" mode. In that, no matter how good you appear on paper, they think someone better will eventually come along to the point where they have unrealistic expectations. Just seems to be my observation thus far. | |

You talking about my post? Perhaps not all women are, but it sure seems that way for many men. Lets ask guys how many emails to response ratio they get. Then ask women how many responses they write a week. I wouldn't be surprised by the results at all. | |

Posted: 9/3/2007 7:38:02 PM | | I'll have to agree of the females being on the next man mode. You can almost here it everytime you see your email being read and deleted by the female your attracted to. Alot of us are single because the laws of dateing are changing and no one is changing their attitudes towards dating. Were all looking to click with someone but not doing anything about it. What do you love to do the most that others love to do? Get out and do it! Reason why were all still single men.. because were are just as bad as females when it comes to love, guys have a different definition of the word! Plus you need life goals and you need a partner with teh same goals in mind! PLUS if you look at the posts you'll find that there are a handfull of females that posted they want to date you! IF I WERE YOU!!! I would hop an a plane and go on a date! IF YOU DON'T please tell me! I would be more than willing to meet the females that are throwing themselves at you! | |

Posted: 9/3/2007 8:29:42 PM | Where do I start? I seem to always be falling for guys halfway accross the globe for starters and I fall for guys way out of my league...when I do score a keeper, work seems to get in the way..I also am undergoing so many changes in my life at this point, (religion, mentally, spiritually) who could really love a "me" that is going to be a different "me" next week? And I am attracted to genius men who are normally "socially challenged" in some way..maybe I should just buy a dog or like 40 cats and call it quits.  | |

Speaks volumes right there. You need to find a nice dumb girl.
"You can almost HEAR it EVERY TIME you see your email being read and deleted by the female YOU'RE attracted to."
Either aim lower, or read a book once in awhile. | |

You're making a huge assumption on what HE finds attractive aren't you? You have no idea what he may or may not find attractive. Unless your pointing out that the women must find HIM attractive in order to have any sort of success. Although based on your last sentence I do not think that is the case. I suppose you generalize that all men think that only super models are attractive? | |

BINGO. Give that man a cookie!
YOU'RE going to have a lower success rate, if people find you unattractive and you come across as unintelligent. | |

If a man is unintelligent and unattractive he should marry the first chick that doesnt run for the hills and count himself lucky. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 5:01:54 PM | | Well for me, maybe it's because I'm picky and experiences from the past, but I haven't found anyone who's sparked that interest inside of me. Actually well there was this girl and we started to get close but then suddenly she took a job offer a gazillion miles away. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 8:03:39 PM | | Excuse me, but I believe Tigress' point in that post was to highlight the obvious grammatical errors present in the previous post. The use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling are quite important when you're trying to impress someone in writing. Hence, the lack thereof is sure to do exactly the opposite. | |

Posted: 9/4/2007 8:57:41 PM | | And that's why we are still single because most men can't type let alone punctuate. Ahhh the IM era. lol | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 10:02:58 AM | | One of my professors this semester used to be an editor. I felt very sorry for her. Teaching college students must be absolute hell,if you wer an editor... Probably why she doesn't ask for much writing. | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 4:50:43 PM | | I know exactly why I'm still single. Most people do not view marriage they way they should. Most of my friends "settle" and are miserable. If you go into marriage with the "if it doesn't work out I'll divorce" mentality, then why do it? I see it this way--At least I'm one step further away from divorce than the married ones!! | |

It's tough. One of my pet peeves is incoherent writing, but most people just don't care. I'll say that I didn't much care for English, grammar, etc. in school, yet once I was out a few years and started using a computer, I became very focused on communicating well and that involved becoming better at spelling and grammar. I know that my writing is far from perfect as the backspace is still essential on my keyboard.
Remember as well that the education system doesn't put the emphasis on effective writing that it did in the past. This is bass ackwards from what is needed in today's world. It is painful to try and wade through incoherent posts and profiles. People that won't bother to communicate well filter themselves quite effectively from those of us who do. Sadly, illiteracy is "cool" in too many cultural circles.
I'm beginning to think I'm single because I try to communicate well and that intimidates and confounds a lot of people these days. | |

I'm beginning to think I might be in the same quandary. It is *so* rare that I receive an e-mail that exhibits anything more than a rudimentary grasp of the language that it gets really depressing.
Actually I have a theory as to why people who date online stay single longer though and I think it's what afflicts most of us--we date in an exclusive rather than inclusive way. And I don't think it's just the women that do this; with the exception of the guys that I hear about who send out 100 e-mails a day, I'd venture to say almost everyone online goes about in an exclusive manner. Instead of meeting anybody and everybody that seems remotely interested in us, we are all looking to cull the pack whilst waiting for the one we've envisioned to come along. So it's about all the reasons the person from whom we've just received an e-mail *doesn't* fit what we're looking for rather than all they ways they possibly could. And I'm even talking about the holy grail that is physical attraction. There are guys I wouldn't give the time of day based on a picture alone because they weren't my type physically but I'm around them for ten minutes in the real world and I'm having the time of my life. Those are the guys that I potentially will never meet dating online. And I *know* guys do this too--"'I'm not attracted to her physically so I'm not going to meet her" when there's no telling what kind of chemistry might have occurred off-line.
I think this is the by far the single greatest factor contributing to why people don't hook up as frequently online. | |
