Well, he knew she was probably going to flip out and call him names. Don't know why she didn't have her pic up in the first place as that's the only way to prevent mistaken impressions. Anyway, girls do the same thing, too, and it's a lot better to have someone reject you online than in real life.

This is not a gender specific issue, both ends of the dating spectrum do this type of thing.

What gets me is that even if you both have a picture up and have had some chat/email contact there seems to be a lot of turn your back and walk away without a "thanks but sorry" from anyone.

Well, I guess it all depends on what people are looking for and their previous experiences. Looks can be very deceiving for one and I believe that way too many people are now so shallow and only foccus on this. No wonder the rate of failure is so great. This being a cause among many others. I lady recently messaged me. She stated that she messaged many men who stated they only wanted friendship. Yet, they asked a pic and once they saw it, they blocked her! I was the only one so far to keep chatting with her and no, I don't care what she looks like. This trigger another question. Is physical attraction a must for friendship only?

I was shocked when a girlfriend of mine actually stated to me that she only ever had attractive friends.

So yes, apparently for some people, looks are important for just hanging out as well. Makes you wonder huh?

Yup... I don't blame you in the least. Being so superficial is not a quality I would want in a partner nor a friend.

Be yourself and there is invariably someone that will like and love you for that...

this is another of those reduntant posts, I/E: i got bit by a golden retriever -why do golden retrievers bite people?
sounds like he is a shallow person, but what did he do that wasn't polite? -ok fading away without any more contact wasnt nice, but i dont think its rude. -he could have come back with a mean comment like: "ewwwwww, your ugly, thanks for wasting my time -c-ya"
if your friend had posted a pic on her profile, the whole situation probibly could have been avoided.
women do the disappearing thing too. probibly more than men, since there are more than twice as much men on this site, women have more to choose from here.

I talked to a man on line this morning for about 10 minutes, and although nothing he did or said really impressed me, i decided to ask for his photo ,which he emailed me. Well, i was sorry to tell him i didnt feel the connection that i am looking for. I told him it was nothing personal , just a preference and i wished him luck in his search. He then sent me the nastiest email, calling me names, and basically saying " how dare you'? What else could i have said? What else could i have done? He just wasnt my type. Should i be sorry for that?

It doesnt cost anything to show some appreciation and manners


Yes it does...the cost is time...





We also have no need to explain that we find them unattractive either.




Usually this leads to why are you not attracted to me--or why am I too young...does it really matter???

I couldn't agree with you more ranger fan, but it does cost something to show some appreciation and manners. It takes a bit of effort and some class.

I've done the same thing. I don't feel bad about it, and I don't think anyone else should either. I've done the "honest" thing and said you arent my type, blah, blah, blah and some people have gotten angry or argumentative. Plus I think it hurts someone more if you just say they are ugly. Honesty isnt the best policy when it hurts peoples feelings.

bloke?

anyways, I did it once. but not exactly the way you described. I slowly broke off contact over a week. I did it for two reasons - I was not attracted to her one bit - and she had lied about other things.

she told me, for example, that she worked full time, but "blurted" out that she only works part time later on, then tried to say that she's "down to part time for a few weeks". as for the pic, she told me that she was "average" weight, adding she was on the "large" side of average. When she sent her pic though it revealed the truth - she was a BBW. not just that, she was a BBBW. she told me after that she was nearly 400lbs. she was shocked that I did not stop talking to her instantly (said other guys did that right away usually) and then, basacally, told me she wanted to have sex with me. talk about desperate! it was all too much for me so I just starting ignoring her after too long.

Dave you are absolutely right!
Internet dating is a cutthroat business-when a woman does not answer my message I just click that mouse and move on!!!
After all their are plenty of fish!!

Superficial as it sounds....if you don't like the way a person looks then you are most likely never going to pursue a relationship. It's been said a million times on here....we are visual creatures and from experience you can talk for months but when you see a photo and you don't find that person physically attractive......something happens and its not usually good.
I learned long ago....post a photo....if a guy donsen't like the way you look....don't bother with him....wait for one who does........it will save a ton of heartache!

"it does cost something.tine."

~not interested.thanks.~

that took 2 seconds.

if you you can't spare 2 seconds to say "no thanks" you're a rude,sweaty ballsack with bad karma and your parents did a sh*tty job raising you.
