Nikki, have all the guys who e-mailed you so far been creeps looking for sex only or have some some fatal flaw? Not a single quality guy yet in the pile? Hey, at least you can get laid if you want, hehe.

Joel: nice idea...a bit scary but okay. I can go with it. Still not sure how I'd feel if I knew I had stalkers. I'm not sure I'd sleep well :)

And eborys, I'd say about half of the responses that I've gotten are either jerks looking for sex or people that can hardly spell their own name right, let alone write a decent message. How's this: hy grl, wntd to tel u that ur hot we shud talk sometym.

What the HELL is that? :) Not worth my time. There are some quality ones on there but honestly, I'm having more fun talking on this forum than I am to people that respond to my profile.

I can understand that, Nikki. You've pretty much become the star of this thread, and I don't mean that necessarily in a bad way. We might have ta rename it. Maybe "The Dr. Nikki Show"? I will say though, that I have just about come to the conclusion that expecting much beyond an initial response from girls on this site, if you even get that, is setting yourself up for the letdown, so I'm just not gonna send that much anymore. Had expected a little better, ya know?

I'm the only girl!! I have to stick up for women! :)

Expecting too much for dating sites is probably everyone's downfall. I think we all just need more of a "screw it" attitude. If it works, it works. If he/she does'nt respond then eh, it wasn't meant to be anyway. Not a big deal and all you've lost is the couple of minutes it took to type out a response. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm sorry you haven't had much luck but don't give up!! That special person is too important to ever give up

Not so much a matter of looking for a special person as it is just common courtesy to respond to someone. Kind of like saying hi to someone you don't know when you're out somewhere, you don't expect them to just look the other way. It's just rude, man. People like that on here can kiss it, ya know? Just because you exchange some greetings online doesn't mean you're obligating yourself to someone in any way. Who knows, they might even make some new friends, (heaven forbid!).

Is it wrong to propose marriage in the first message?

Just kidding.

Whine whine whine.

What the fuck ever.

I get upwards of 100 emails a day and if I'm not interested, I'm not responding.

Period.

Why should I spend 6 hours a day coddling people's egos by writing messages to reject them?

Why not just write a generic message and copy and paste it.

Because the message rules state you can only send the exact same message to users i think it is 4 times in 24 hours.

I used to take the time to reply to every single one, but it would take me weeks now. I simply don't have the time to do 80 or so a day.

Wow, 80 messages a day. I'm fairly sure every single guy on this website would switch places with you in a sec. Maybe you should add soemthing in your profile that might weed out the people that you don't want hear from.

Not so fast, Joel. Might all be hate mail.

Hey Evil Princess, it must be easy to complain about the "whinning" when you get 100 e-mails a day. Most girls become spoiled brats when they are popular and they take all the attention they get for granted. Girls dont have to do anything but sit and wait for everyone to come to them. Pretty convenient situation.

Well put. I think this thing definately gives women inflated egos. And possibly delusions of grandeur. I wonder how many women actually sign up for this just to inflate their self-esteem.

I have a b/f, if people can't take the time to read my profile, they don't even deserve a second of my time, let alone a rejection letter.

And no, it's not all hate mail, although sometimes I wish it was.

Delusions of grandeur, hardly....now bow down to your Lord and Master.....Foamy.

why do you think the guys get so pissed off? virtually any girl could just walk outside naked and lay in teh road and someone will stop to pick them up, even teh hideous ones.

And what, pray tell, makes you think I am an attention whore. Seeming how you think you know me from the few words I have written here. I even went so far as to delete myself from everyone's favorites, get outright hostile in my profile, etc. Which people generally seem to find amusing.

I understand most women are bitches, but why must people (and notice I am not saying just men) insist on whining/bitching/moaning/complaining about it? Just decreases their chances of finding someone on here.

I was single when I started here, now I am not. I stick around in the forums to participate in them, converse with friends, write in my poetry thread as well as my creative writing thread, debate in politics, etc.

I think someone is a little bitter. Is it women's fault that men are picky? Nope, so get over it already. We're not ruled by our genitals, so sad, too bad.

Oh but please, feel free to try and make me feel bad about myself and attack me even though you don't know me. Lesser men than you have tried....and failed miserably.

Nikki,
I didn't say all women come here to infalte there egos. I said most. Take the evil princess for example. Has a boyfriend and is on a dating site complaining that she gets too many messages. I think there should be a web site created that only allows women to contact men and men can only reply, this way people will be more serious about these kind of sites.

Oh, and by the way, Evil Princess..............we see you.

What the hell do you need more male friends for when you have a boyfriend already? Isnt one boyfriend enough? I'll never understand all this "hang out", "friends" sh*tbetween men and women. And what would your boyfriend think about that? I wouldnt particularly like it if I had a girlfriend that advertised herself for all the guys online...even just for chatting...that's ridiculous.

Well put. I found out while I was married that my wife used to go to chatrooms while I was at work. No big deal to me. But if it was a dating site, I would have freaked. I wish your boyfriend knew and put you in your place, or out on the curb at least. In addition, you are definately not making this site easier to find people. Its hard enough for all those people that may actually be looking for someone to weed through all the crap, go through a million rejections or no replies, but then people like you come on to the site and take up space. Never mind, judging by your attitude, taking up air.
