| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 2/28/2008 6:29:59 PM | | Well, I've tried to be honest, I'm not fat and not thin, but yet it does seem that that's not good enough...everyone seems to be about the "PICS" but anyone who has ever been judged by "PICS" knows they rarely tell the truth....so I think going back to the blind date personals was much easier...you at least stood a chance of not being prejudged by your "PICS"!!! I'm so over that term, is anyone else? | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 2/28/2008 6:30:39 PM | Welcome to the world of online dating.
I usually avoid dating barbies not because I may or may not have a chance, butthe few I have dated had more going for them than just looks alone. Most barbies are pretty superficial, imho, not that all are. What irks me is that many non-barbies are lookin for Ken. I know I am not ken and may never be, but it is pretty harsh to get turned down by someone who thinks they can do better, when you arent even all that bad. I will say that for the most part the non-barbie types though have much more going for them as far as career, schooling, emotional growth and maturity, and a good sence of what they want and dont want. Just based on my experience, I know that many will disagree and I am not trying to generalize as I know many of you arent like this. | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 2/28/2008 6:48:50 PM | Hey, I don't know about any other girls that played with Barbie growing up, but my Barbie dug GI Joe. They loved going for rides in the jeep, firing the rifles, and doing more than sitting and watching the tv. Of course I loved changing her clothes and making new ones for her too. I don't look like a Barbie, never have and never will. I still play dress up, just it is me instead of the doll. I still enjoy doing things with men that don't look like Ken! Besides Ken liked other Kens anyway.
I think and hope that men really do feel the same way, they would rather be with a real woman than a plastic fake woman. | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 2/28/2008 7:02:47 PM | I agree with you. I have looked on a couple of web sites and am truely an honest and caring person looking for a friend first. I feel as if I am not good enough for the man on here. When some have written all they wanted was one thing and I am not into that. The person has to mean something to me. Sex is taken to lightly and not ment to be. Karen | |

I'm not saying physical attraction isn't part of it, but most generally if you don't turn others heads you can bet you won't get a second glance. Been there done that! | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 2/29/2008 8:21:38 PM | I came out onto plenty of fish hoping that the people on here would have a more positive attitude... and open minded attitude (everyone says they are) but you send them a message and you get nothing back.... I really do not think that there are open minded men out there.

Nearing 50 women that have looked at my profile. Guess how many msgs I have in my inbox.
I've sent out a few dozen msgs now for random chat, nothing like the other hornball guys floating around. Guess how many msgs I have in my inbox.
It's the same for guys. If you're not built like you're all muscles, say you've got a house, a car, a big old bankroll, and also say EXACTLY the right things, you've overlooked, and unresponded too.
Welcome to the internet dating scene. | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 3/1/2008 5:26:17 AM | People dont always have time to chat, this site is for a purpose, and if you get as many emails as I do, and Ims, their is no way to respond to them all, and why lead someone up the garden path if their profile doesnt match what your looking for.
We are no here to entertain, we are to find a certain someone, and it is time consuming and after a while, being polite gets old.
We are all different and some of us are busy, genuinley busy and it is hard to chat to someone you have nothing in common with or with whom you have no wave length.
Some peoples time is limited and very valuable, I think your expecting too much.
Men are visual creatures, and that is not ever going to change, so dont blame barbie, its not her fault she is visually appealing to some men, not all men.....
Women are beautifull in all shapes and sizes and any age, that is the common statement from most men, however the Barbie types do take care of themselves and most men like women who are going to take care of themselves and work to keep the fire burning, Barbies grow old like every body else so without a healthy attitude and loving nature no one will survive the distance, so start being loving and accepting right now and hug a barbie today, the grass is not always greener, it is your attitude that is your problem,
most men want a happy healthy confident easy going female, of average size with natural boobs, big or small, feeling comfortable and accepted is usually more important to them than anything else,
and when you start slandering Barbie no one feels comfortable with you who is next on the hit list....... | |

Even though the OP has left the building, I *think* what she meant to say is: "How how all the guys I find attractive don't return the sentiment?" Am sure she's 'overlooked' many guys, judging from many of the responses. | |

I am not a barbie, iam 45 and all natural, and look 45, and Ihave friends who have boob jobs and hair extensions and who work like hell to get that male attention, and honestly over the years the women with the beautifull nature wins over the women with the fake boobs and hair extensions, men will look but it doesnt mean they want to own it or pay for the up keep......
And other men admire women who go the distance and do teh boobs an ahir extensions etc etc,
You cant generalise the human race, it is so diverse, and broad,anythign goes on this planet,
you could appeal to so many people, if you try a little patience and be more understanding, it is not about you if someone doesnt talk to you, it is about them so dont be so self centred, keep going and smile and be friendly and let the real you shine
thiere is no such thing as rejection, your jsut not aiming properly | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 3/4/2008 2:33:47 PM | i see it this way: all people, men and women, have preferences, but with technology today, anyone and anything can be molded. is that really what people want, the EXACT replica of something they see as flawless?! flaws are what make each and every person unique.
* that overweight woman could weigh 120lbs 2 years from now, due to exercising/diet or surgery. that barbie you initially wanted gained 50lbs in that same time period.
* keep in mind, women like angelina jolie-pitt, jessica alba and men like jake gyllenahaal and hugh jackman weren't exactly the most popular people on the dating scene way back when. jolie was thought too "odd" and "dark" and alba was ridiculed for her "big lips" and "tan skin" and the men didn't exactly jump out either. where are they now? jumping out of the fashion mags and into the dreams of those same people that once turned them down.
* nowadays, those things like weight, hair color, and dressing habits can be changed easily. you could visit your local drug store and change your hair color in a day.
the lesson? there really isn't one. people have their preference, but just like anything else man-made, that can and will change over time.
happy fishing!  | |

I don't get a lot of emails, but I know that if I shortened my profile and added some of what my friend and I call "bimboness" to it, I'd get a heck of a lot more responses. I'm weeding out the quantity in hopes of quality. I'll let you know when it works lol.
pft - online dating....I'd rather do my dating in the real world. | |

| How come if you are not A BARBIE you are overlooked.... Posted: 3/4/2008 3:03:38 PM | Sunshine...wait until your older...lol. If you can't handle it now, don't tune in later. For men my age, the older gals want younger men, the younger gals want the same men, and some of the men want those same men...lol. Confusing to most of us but so is life. Enjoy the friends you can make and cherish them. As for Barbie... I dated her many years ago and she was a high maintenance gal. I'd settle for average and a good partner anyday. Good luck and Blessings to all...don I checked some of the ladies profiles and those who just want friends tend to put age limits on friendship... | |
