I figured out the girls on POF
Posted: 4/19/2007 5:26:11 AM
well if you had a clue you would know your just like everyone else on here, or you wouldn't be on here. Your looking for the right one. I'm sure at least one women has answered you or has sent you a message and you weren't interested. The fact is there is alot of people for all of us to date in the real world and on here. I think what most of us are to selective, I know I've had plenty to choose from but I'm still here because the ones I was interested in didn't pan out, mostly because I lose interest in just talking over the net and the ones I have met with just weren't what I was looking for. I think we are all guilty of not taking the tine to really get to know someone that we've met and talked with on line because someone new is always coming along. So guys and girls try to spend a little more time getting to know someone instead of jumping around so much, if your looking for love you might be more successful.

I have to say you're wrong.. I'm fat and I have no problems finding guys to talk to!! Honestly, I'm not trying in any way shape of form to sound rude but, A REAL MAN WOULN'T MIND And you now what.. they don't.
So of course if you are looking to pick up some hottie who has no brain, of course you have to be skinny and prefferably have no brain either, therfore you won't have any conflict in the intelligence department. haha
Back to being serious...
Most guys do prefer a one of a kind personality over good looks. They're not as bad as they seem. Men are only as awful as you make then out to be. Ladies, please remember they are people just like us.
"Whatever floats ur boat" you know? It's all based on preference. You can't hate someone because of what they find attractive, as much as you can hate yourself for what you find attractive. Everybody is different. Everybody is an idividual. "To each his or her own" and just let it be. Spend less time bickering and more time chatting with new people, because the time wasted whining in a forum is nothing but wasted time.
Have a good day everyone.. sorry for all my lil quotes, but they're true... There is someone for everyone!!!!

OK, if you look at this scenario from an ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC APPROACH, your "response phenomenon" should make perfect sense. What are people looking for when they contact someone in a bar, or on POF or wherever? They're looking for INFORMATION! An answer to the question "Is this guy (or girl) for me"?

In a bar setting you have very little information on which to base your initial choice to make contact, so you strike up a conversation with the hopes of attaining that information. Inevitably, the majority will not be what you are looking for and will be quickly dismissed. Because of this high rejection rate, it is necessary to make contact with lots of people in order to find what you are looking for.

On POF you already have lots of information, so you only respond the those who you can't rule out based upon their profile, i.e. the ones you wouldn't mind dating. You completely bypass that initial information phase.

Therefore, if you want to make a real comparison between the two situations you should not compare the amount of "attention" you receive, but your views to date ratio (this IS a dating site remember)! If you were to do that, my guess is that you'll notice that most of the women who contact you on POF have a much higher interest level than those that you contact in other settings, ultimately resulting in a much HIGHER RATE OF "SUCCESS".

Ah, the powers of TRUE SCIENCE! I encourage intelligent feedback.

Too many women looking for a perfect guy, too many guys looking for intimate encounters, the rest of us get lost in the white noise

lol I wonder if the op with is math formula....would decide that if he emailed all the girls like 5 times..that would mean they would all respond lol

I don't know I think its a free dating site, and some of the women here..especially younger women with pretty faces and provocative pics are getting ALOT of mail...I'm sure it is a ego boost, but I'm also sure some just aren't interested in alot of the people that message them and don't have the time to write back. I mean not writing back is the quickest way to get the point across in my opinion.

And as for those same young pretty provocate women not getting the same attention in public..haha. seriously they get leered at and come on to all the time as well I'm sure. I've gone to clubs, I've seen how men react, heck I've walked down the street with some of my friends and seen how men react. So I don't think its that much different than the volume of attention they get on here.

msg 1, yes to your findings, they often get big heads thinking cyber attention means they are cute. LOL......... the funny thing is many have altered photos or fuzzy misleading pics. I have a program with my photography that de-fuzzes pics and you should see how many alter pics.
All in all, women who are actually attractive have dealt with attention all their lives and dont have to come online looking for attention.
Inflated sense of attractiveness is possible when pics are false or misleading and for many its the first time they have had men interested in them. You go to meet them and there is a 200 pound 55 year old woman who smells like cigars and beer... LOL

Op: While there may be some validity to your ratio theory, not sure in not having more study done there..but I feel that it is more simple as to why the online replies get to be so limited seeming. Either a profile just is presented where it is not appealing overall to the majority or they are too far away to someone interested. I find that to be a factor or that it is LIKE a popularity contest feeling for many. Once they get online and see such as a favorites list feature they try to reach the goal of adding to that . I find that high schoolish and immature and not really seeking quality over quantity. I found someone on a site where my odds were increased locally and I have a ton in common with him in addition to our interest to really get to know someone to start with. The fact is that if someone is JUST browsing they should not persue anyone.

Here' s a few tips for you little boy.
1. You cant go on a dating site with absolutly NUTHING to offer the opposite sex and CRY that no one wants to chat with you.
2. Your appearance could use some work. Ever heard that saying clean up your own house befor you try cleaning up the houses of others? In other words. You come on here talkin bout' woman have inflated opinions of their attractiveness? Well you might want to take a look in the mirrior dude. Your "attractiveness" leaves somthing to be desired.
3. It takes alot of men alot of years to actually "figure woman out"...
So please...dont come on here and insult there intelligence - talkin bout you figured woman out...
Your still wet behind the ear's son...
and finally
4. The next time you decide to open your mouth and stick your foot in it...try not doing it infront of thousands of people.

So I've been WARNED to back off Macnews........
I actually thought I was being rather polite and mild in my delivery.....NO?
d^MN IT!!! let me try again....

Macnews, You are right! **fingers crossed**
This was the threat I received.......



"Retract your statement or suffer the consequences"
he threatend to withhold sex... so............what can I say...........I'm a sell out.....

No wait.......the man who threatened me and I have never HAD sex nor will we EVER..........so, I guess my original post stands........

......................................WHEW! He almost had me there, using the " annonymous random sex"card.* ...........I fall for that a LOT*

Actually, I did receive a threat, not only did he threaten me with the above statement but he also threatened that all the men on this sight would turn gay if we didn't stop "bashing" his brothers.........yep, TRUE STORY!(do not post after me that people don't TURN gay....I already know this, I'm just telling you what HE told ME) ................ Cuz we alllll know that could never happen .........................right?......... I mean........you don't think............naaaaaaw!


200 pound 55 year old woman who smells like cigars and beer...


uhm excuse me but I don't think you're allowed to put personal desriptions about me without my permission........and ummm.........you're wrong because 200lbs is my GOAL weight................ So see, I do look thinner in RL.....so there........................Tricked ya didn't I?

Diva

p.s. what is WHITE NOISE??? Is my noise white noise or black noise??? oh wait....I mean...... african american noise.........sorry.......

And as far as Macnews attractiveness goes........COME ON....HE IS a GOOD LOOKING KID........... why would you choose to attack him there......now that is just wrong on many many levels........he wrote this from an apparent "HURT" state and lashed in anger...............give him a break.........I'm just trying to lighten this thread up....................and YES.........I said 200lbs.....did you just callme a bear??....

Alot of women or men get messaged daily if they are scantilly clad or showing their breasts to the world. They seem to want alot of attention obviously and thrive on it.. Look at me me me, that's what they are saying...

Or on the otherhand as someone else mentioned. They show a fuzzy photo and expect you to figure out what they actually look like?..

I'm calling the "race" card.....cuz i think you just called me a 200lb bear.......I'm not sure........but that is how it FELT? Should I call you IMUS???

Seriously though, I can see if macnews had a bad encounter with a fatty that we would be discussing that............but that isn't his "beef" at all.........

..................why does it always come back to THIS........."fat chick lied to get me into bed.......oops, I mean out on a date.............she ate up everything and made me pay.....blah blah blah................."

sorry but my pictures are from as recent as Easter Sunday.......


..................................1994,...........................


..............kidding...............2007 .......FOR REAL!


OMG, are you seriously taking me SERIOUS on the african american noise?????

I have tears streaming down my face.......and I can bearly type this I'm laughin so frickin hard....................omg I think I pulled something....................

Are you serious? So you got me all figured out huh? So since you can mass judge, then allow me to mass judge you then. Sound a little a bitter about the responses you are getting, and maybe you stop using the hey baby, you're so hot I could eat you up messages, those don't usually work to tell well with many of the ladies. Another massive deduction for macnews. Yeah this is a dating application that you did fill out.

Calling us chicks yeah that is another deduction on the application to choosing you over the other guys.

Coming up with a stupid a** formula to how many responses you are suppose to get and forgetting all about reality, attraction factors, and all, oh major 50% deduction.

Believing we have an inflated sense of attraction? Oy another deduction, so all together the amount of response you are getting now, is just about right. Should be lower than that but hey this is a mass judging going on here.

Get off your high horse, and let the ground hit as that is reality, and now that all the ladies have seen your post you are probably gonna get mail, but it may be hate mail. So there are your messages. Have Fun!!!

LOL.

OK, I TRIED to read the entire thread but I thought that either my head would explode or I would die laughing.
OP, since you have figured out all the "girls" here and determined they are hyper picky, WHY ARE YOU here anyway?? Why aren't you out there meeting these non-picky, grateful-for-any-attention girls? Maybe the girls here are BETTER selection, instead of the "dregs" that so many men and boys seem to think use internet dating sites? ( "Oh yeah I'll go on the internet, those chicks are so desperate they'd date Godzilla";that seems to be a fairly common male thought process here) then they find out that line of reasoning is a fallacy, so they pitch a **** about it in a forum or blog. Damn women never do behave the way they're supposed to!
As to "women rule the world"...
Boy howdy you damn betcha we do and if we didn't the planet would be a smoldering ruin and the human race would be extinct. Don't get me wrong, guys! we love ya and we couldn't live without ya, but if we women weren't watching out, the whole planet would spin out and crash in some giant testosterone spill!

They get lots of mail and are flattered by the attention, so they become more picky than they would be in real life


Thus forcing guys not to be lazy cold inarticulate pigs if they want to get anywhere.

Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
