Why don't you just post some pictures. Then you will not have to go through this type of ordeal, because that is what you are making it out to be.

Becuase they are collecting pics of women to brag to other men about their conquests (fish stories). Men are always making other men think they have this harem thing going on... trying to live this machimiso... Plus some people feel lots of power about haveing women email then and then rejecting them...don't take it personally,I doubt is has got nothing to do with.

Rebeca...lol.. NO... They just didnt like what they see. Its simple, put a pic up on your profile... if they go for looks and dont like the way you look, they will not contact or reply. Don't leave it to the imagination.. and please... use a recent picture.

My only thing is the distance involved when meeting someone. I would love to meet a person that is fun to be around in MY area.

Who knows....

Women do the exact same thing... its just human moral cowardice... not gender specific. I know you're just letting off steam. I assume you don't have a profile pic, so unless you have a very good reason not to... then what's the logic behind drawing things out? Perhaps you have such little faith in your photos that you hope by building up a degree of relationship with a man, it won't matter what you look like when you send the photo. If that's the logic, then you just prolong things and the dissappointment is worse when it comes. Men are designed by nature to respond to strongly to looks; women are too, and they will reject an ugly guy online who, if they'd met in the real world, would have overwhelmed them by his winning personality. Ugly guys often have amazing attractive personalities and do well with women in the real world... hm... but i guess they'd have no need to be here then would they. Unattactive women often have nasty, bitter personalities in my experience... a shame because with a great personality... she's a real winner with men. Don't hate men for being the way nature made them, evolution and gene competition makes us the way we are. Nature also makes women tend to be very tricky in the mating game, except when she is thoroughly besotted and submissive to a particular man.

Try getting a professionally done photograph... few do and it makes a world of difference.

good luck and best wishes...

and don't shoot the messenger

another point... you might say some women get bitter and nasty because of the rejection they get, and thus it prevents them from developing the fun attractive personality that would gain them love and respect. It comes from the horrible fact that women are brought up to expect the princess treatment even in this supposedly enlightened age, so there is a misconcieved sense of entitlement that is arguably grounded in selfishness and bratty expectations. In actual fact men who pander to such whims usually lose all respect from her... but that's another story...

Almost everyone gets rejected, and typical men recieve a vastly larger amount of it... (that's assuming they have the guts to approach you in the first place) much of that rejection is brutal and nasty, and yes it seriously can cripple their outlook on life or poison their personality, to the actual bitter delight of many females but this is highly unhelpful and may lower a man's estimation of women... add to the spread of darkness in what should be the beauty of life... oops i'm ranting again...

It takes greater strength than women can credit to be an outgoing man... few women can even stand the risk of rejection let alone putting their neck on the line, thus in this liberated age, men still have to make the moves. Getting bitter is a choice, as is being light spirited and fun... so be careful to make the right choices... always keep it light and fun... and you will be loved.

He isn't necessary shallow. In some cases he just simply wasn't attracted to the woman. Maybe in other cases, he has unrealistic expectations or is too picky. This can also apply to women. I do think it's rude to stop talking to someone without any kind explanation. It doesn't have to be a detalied explanation either. Something that is honest and upfront with TACT. I would say something like you aren't 'my physical type' or 'I'm not interested'. I wouldn't say that 'you are ugly'.

For the same reason women do... since i'm only 5ft 7 i rarely get anyone read full profile and if i get a message (very rare) it is only to ask for a photo and then i'm lucky if i get a message saying thanks for sending it... have never yet seen what one of those women look like lol ..they haven't had the courtesy to send a photo in return. I rarely get a reply to any message (other than can i see a photo). I put my photo on here when i joined this site so it's just ignored messages without the can i see a photo requests... so it isn't just men hon, and don't worry it's far easier for a woman to find a man than the other way around :o) chin up keep going and may you find that which you seek very soon.

It is not just men who are shallow; I have experienced the exact same thing. Have you ever met someone for the first time and the moment they see you their face reflect total loss of interest. But to be polite you stay and make small talk. I have... many times!

I can understand no longer being interested in someone you are completely unattracted to. Yet I think a fair amount of okay looking and below average looking people ( men and women ) will turn down an okay looking person that they could be compatible with because they only go after the beauty queens. Also, a pic usually gives a general idea of what a person looks like, but you can't always tell how attractive a person is from a few pics. Some people can look better or worse in person than they do in a pic for a variety of reasons.


I do think it's rude to stop talking to someone without any kind explanation. It doesn't have to be a detalied explanation either. Something that is honest and upfront with TACT. I would say something like you aren't 'my physical type' or 'I'm not interested'. I wouldn't say that 'you are ugly'.


I do agree with this whether you are no longer interested in the other person after exchanging pics, a few email/phone conversations or 1-2 dates.

to spjm1058... I hear you... but first, think up a PROPER PROFILE NAME... something funny or stupid ( Elvis is already taken) or risk appearing unimaginative... dull, unwilling to make the effort... lacking humour... are you really just a number??? Why would that be attractive?
and if you make a dull impression on a date it is because of the way you carry yourself... in almost every case, it's ATTITUDE or lack of it that causes her to be underwhelmed.
You need the hottest styling you can get...
a hint of roguish arrogance does no harm... its way better than submissive blushing nice guy unfortunately...

and most importantly... if you percieve a cold or disappointed reception... get the **** out of there immediately... be polite but firm... show pride and backbone and do not tolerate substandard treatment from women or anybody. Don't stick around in the hope she'll suddenly see the light... women put you into a category within two seconds, and you're pretty much stuck there for better or worse.
And YOU are the man... you are the prize... she is lucky to have the opportunity to be with you. This is attitude... this is self respect. Go get 'em tiger...



best wishes: e

Why do woman like to hear, Not interested?

Seems a tad rude to me...


But I guess if that's the way you all work... =P


What about... I could be interested, I really don't F'ing know so I'm not gonna tell you because I don't like closing any doors on any possibilities? ... but I'm really lacking the enthusiasm at the moment to write you back... maybe I'll just leave it for now and see if you cross my mind later...


WHat!!! you wanted the truth.. lol

Penny,, I couldn't have said it better,,

OP---People are so hung up,, on why they are rejected,, this is the internet right,, it's not like your insulting your best friend,, no one really knows anyone one on here,, well for the most part,, we all have friends.. My experience has been when I get a message and say no thank you polity,, I get hate mail..about 50/50.. Don't loose sleep over the internent dating,, focus on life,, and the friends you have,,this place is fake,, with a hope of some realism.. Go read Penny 's respose again,, she hit the nail on the head.. Good luck,, Norm

Lie I stated in a previous post, a man isn't necessary a shallow jerk because he isn't attracted to you, but I do think in some cases people have unrealistic expectations.

all these dumb-ass women that say "all men" are probably the same type that use words like "never" "always". Let me tell some of you women out there a couple stories. I met a woman about 2 years ago and one night we went to the bar. she got wasted and I had to drive her home. When I finally found her place, I carried her into her house, layed her on the couch, kissed her on her forhead and said goodnight. Another woman I met though a chat line and became good friends with, we slpet together many times. The thing was she liked to sleep naked. No matter, she was a friend and I respected her and her BODY. I never once tried to get into her.
So all you dumb-ass women that like to group all guys in the same pot, **** off!

Never speaking again is saying, not interested. Of course. Some turn and run. Some are horrified. No biggie.
