Posted: 10/15/2006 11:51:04 PM | At least one person's already mentioned your location as possibly being part of the problem, and I'd just like to throw my two cents in with them. Generalizations like that are almost always a bad idea. You have to consider that the people you might find on a dating site are probably not a particularly accurate representation of everyone in your area. I mean, I know that there are probably lots of eligible women where I live, but if PoF were to be believed, if I wanted to have any real choice (and therefore decent chances, mathematically), I'd have to go to Spokane -- two hours away from here. Not only that, 50% of the eligible women there would also be single mothers. (Nothing against single mothers, just pointing out that PoF seems to have a high percentage of them, another reason why it's not really an accurate representation.)
I mean, let's face it, here we are on a dating site, right? That means that either, for whatever reason, the traditional way to meet -- face to face -- doesn't make us confident of our chances of success, or we just felt like trying something new. There are lots of people who don't feel the need to use dating websites, so generalizing about this entire state is pretty pointless, I suppose except to stir debate--which it seems you managed.
I suppose that this is a possible side-effect of using a dating website, too. I mean, if people have a ready list of folks to contact looking for a date, they're probably more likely just to walk away from a relationship if they've got a bad feeling about it. A pilot might call it a 'target-rich environment' -- why put in a lot of effort to something that you're not quite sure of, when you have lots of other options? | |

Posted: 10/19/2006 9:53:15 AM | I'm from Las Vegas but I was in a relationship (long distance) for a couple of years and pretty much lived there. I was there just this year for 7 months and all the men I've ever met are such sweethearts and are looking for long lasting relationships. Not sure why you're having a problem, sorry to hear that.
Don't give up, I'd trade 1000 men in Las Vegas for just one man in Washington 
Good Luck!

Posted: 4/13/2007 2:55:22 AM | It sounds to me like the game needs some solid rules so we can all play nice and fair with one another.
Some simple rules could be
1) Be upfront and honest about what you're looking for.
2) Don't go after people who aren't looking for the same thing.
Anyone else have any ideas on what the rules "should" be? | |

Now I do blame large part of that on the rain :-), and the lack of the sun in general (there is a bigger story on the regions of light and darkness), but I've also been told about certain heritage of Northern European nations, which are also known to be largely hermetic in personal relations.
comon now..{sings blame it on the rain} hehe,,just joking!!....there is more to washington than the rainy seattle area;P hehehe...remmeber alot of washington is desert and doesnt see much rain..and is full of more sun than i can handle..hehe...and i have had the same problems here...have girls say they wanna meet me and hang out and think im great..then i meet them and they wont hardly talk and never talk to you again!!<~~ had a few dates like that...but i have met a few that turn out great!!..funny thing is..the ones i know who are going to flake out..wanna meet me right away..and tring to allready say how much they care about me and wanting to fly loose with the love word a little too fast........those girls allways flake out...they expect perfection i think..and they get let down cause they jump to conclusions too fast about you on just your looks or profle:P...im sure the same can be said about guys too..lol | |

Posted: 5/2/2007 10:45:46 PM | precisely, newgirl1657. If a person isn't interested and I would add, ready in terms of done with their past and ready for a"together" future, then they need to get out and really stay gone. Because I don't do second chances with uncomited people. If there not good to go and ready at start, why wait on a maybe?
Such as a maybe they'll stop acting coy, nonchalant, and blase.
Maybe they will know how to express their intent clearly, verbally and act on it decisevely and immediately.
Maybe they will make a relationship with me a high priority, and not a convenience of agenda management.
Maybe they know what monogomous and exclusive means, and how to apply that concept in a relationship without pretense present, or deception aparent.
Maybe the persons life will be under their control, and not "crazy" or "busy", with the convient excuses that are byproducts from those descriptions or facts about.
Maybe then they are ready.
Maybe all the above or part of is why they are just interested in "dating" or strangely intimate "friends"

Posted: 7/6/2007 6:30:21 PM | | Ya, we pretty much just ignore women who chat just to say, I'm going out with my boyfriend, or, my boyfriend is coming over. Just feels cheap and boring. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 5:25:41 PM | oh wow this is a fun discussion.
Look, everyone is who they are. They are not going to change. I've been to different parts of the country and I find the same type of people everywhere. It's just not washington or NW people.
Men and women do it. Just go with it. What eles is there to do? If he isn't working out, move on. If he is dragging his feet, move on. If he does not make you feel like is queen, move on. | |

Posted: 7/20/2007 10:45:47 PM | | I agree Super joe, men and women here need to toughen their skin. I used to rant and complain so much about women, but in the end, it boiled down to me and how I am simply just not giving it the best effort and even now after man rejections, I've gotten numb, its not all WA women and men who behave this way, though I am inclined to say we do have a considerable population, and SOME of them are on this site, be aware. If it all doesnt work out, well....sorry....feel for you..... now pull yourself up and dust yourself off and throw yourself back out into the world, the sooner the better. | |

Posted: 7/23/2007 3:56:00 PM | | Washington is concidered a "womans state" when it comes to divorce. Most of the men have either gone thru our kangaroo divorce courts or have buddies ruined in them. When I went thru my last divorce 20 years ago it scarred a buddy of mine so bad he went out and got himself fixed. Sorry I don't feel sorry for you. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 8:02:41 AM | I often wonder about people that let the past effect the present. I hear people say that they behave in one way or another because of childhood or a past relationship. They are the only ones that can break the chain. Treat people the way you would like to be treated. We are all human and we all make mistakes, but we should try not to make the same mistake over and over.
Internet dating is a very odd thing. It is hard to tell when someone does not reply after you have been communicating for a few days what the issue was (although I think most of us imagine one thing or another). And… I would imagine that most of us have let a conversation drop with out explaining why. When the connection is there then I would hope that the conversation would flow and move into more than the online world. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 11:34:01 AM | | I am wondering also about Washington men, or is it just men in general. We email each other for awhile and finally meet. Then, I never hear from them again. If they aren't interested in me, couldn't they at least let me know something instead of no response? It's so rude and it happens over and over again. I must say that these men are in their 50's or 60's. Is is the age or the gender? | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 2:29:33 PM | Cherie,
I have found that no response seems to be the nature of on-line dating. I have had women just drop the conversation more than once. Sometimes I can go back and see what I may have done or said and sometimes I can’t. On one date I was on, the woman I was out with took a call on her cell phone and talked for more than just a few minutes. I did not send a message or call her again because I felt that if she was interested in me she would have called them back after our date. It is hard to tell what the reason for no response. Just move on and try again. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 2:55:40 PM | | What about when someone is being so terse that it seems they don't want to talk anymore. | |

Posted: 7/24/2007 8:07:07 PM | Prince,
I'm beginning to get the attitude that it's THEIR LOSS. How rude of anyone to talk on the phone while on a date! I think I might just have walked out and left her there talking.  Nature of on-line dating or not, it's RUDE! I'm about to give up on on-line dating. I've been on here for over eight months and still no bites on my fishing line. | |

Posted: 7/29/2007 12:00:43 AM | Cherie,
I am not sure how you are fishing. Haved tried going through your matches and adding each one that you would like contact to your favorites. Read the profiles and send a message that tells them about you with questions about their interests or something else in the profile that stands out to you. Don't worry about a response, just keep trying until you get a bite. | |

Posted: 7/30/2007 8:01:37 AM | Interesting about the "no response" thing. I thought I was the only one who was running into that sort of problem. I've even had men repeatedly ask me for dates on line, I'd respond favorably, and then they suddenly just disappear forever. I know there had to be some interest there, but they still fade away. I think it's Washington men! | |
|
| Washington men
Posted: 7/30/2007 4:15:09 PM | | I do wonder if the "no response thing" is as bad all over the internet and not just Washington State. I can tell you that it is not just men. | |
