They have one stupid war over 2500 yrs ago (Trojan) over one woman and suddenly it's all because of us that humans can't just stay home and reno the basement instead of fighting non freaking stop. Yah right. | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 6:15:24 PM | That is very unfair to say!!!! I answer EVERY message I get whether i am attracted or not...To me you can never have enough friends if it can not work out in a relationship manner!!!!
VERY UNFAIR TO JUDGE LIKE THAT | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 6:25:37 PM | Personally, I think people (notice I didn't say women, OR men?) don't reply because they are rude. They have no grasp of simple courtesy.
It takes all of 12 seconds to type "thanks but no thanks" and click "send"...
Nobody is so busy, or has such a hectic life, or any other frivolous reason they can come up with, that they can't do that. Therefore, the only possible explanation is an extreme lack of social grace and common courtesy.
As my Grandmother used to say, "Breeding tells." | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 7:05:27 PM | hmmmmmm well maybe karma is starting to catch up with the many past years of men and the good old line 'i'll call you'  sorry, couldn't resist........... i really don't see why it's such a big deal for someone not to reply to an email from someone she doesn't have an interest in..... doesn't bother me when it happens to me.... as i said before i would much rather not hear from someone and forget i even emailed them..... much better than getting an email a week later and think oh yeah there's that guy i emailed, cool he's emailing me back, just to get a rude awakening a moment later when i read the rejection.... | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 7:20:16 PM | | How right you are. Since I have joined I cannot tell you how many men have sent me mail only to drop the correspondence after one or two trys. Men tend to lose interest as soon as you express that you might actually want to meet. All they seem to be interested in is the thrill of the chase. If they were really looking for a relationship they would follow through. After all, is having a cup of coffee too much of a commitment? | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 7:30:16 PM | macnews, based on your post and profile, it sounds as though you have a good head on your shoulders. In about 15 years, when you have the maturity to go with it, you'll have a better understanding of life. That understanding is, men and women will probably never figure one another out. Once you THINK you've got it figured out,
life throws you a curve ball. That's just the way it is.
ranger14, I've been reading some of your other replies on posts. Your common sense wisdom makes you HOT in my book!

Posted: 4/21/2007 8:03:33 PM | Thank you for your kinds words, ladies. Just me. That is all. If you take and learn from life's experiences and relationships by looking at the positive instead of the negative all the time it makes a difference. I tried to message you raerae, but it wouldn't let me, so I wanted to say a quick "thanks". Your are pretty "hot' yourself!  | |

Posted: 4/21/2007 9:18:22 PM | Wow someone that has figured out women and only 19. OP Shouldn't you be rich and on your island sipping cool drinks instead of here writting threads on POF. Some one correct me if I am wrong. The ratio is 5 men to 1 woman on this site. Thats what I have heard. Isn't this a free site so people are free to choose who they can respond back to. I can't believe that someone put dating online into a scientific formula. I thought we were more complex than that. I would never want to figure women out. It takes out all the fun of trying to get to know each other. Women are a very mystic and thats what makes them desirable and sexy. Op maybe you need to change your approach. If you want this online dating in a formula how about this one. Man sends email with pic women reads it. Decides he is not her type. She doesn't respond. Man moves on. I don't remember signing a agreement that a person has to respond to every email. You have just exposed a very ugly part of yourself and now it out in the open. You might get email now but not the type you will want.
Diva you are a scream. Never lose that great part about you.
Moon Fish what is your hang up with fat women?

Posted: 4/21/2007 11:45:59 PM | This has been a very interesting thread! There have been bits and
pieces of truth in many posts, and if put together would make a better
picture of the truth than most of the SEX WARS, BASHING, and
HOSTILITY I've seen so far. Why can't everybody just act more Adult?
Have any of you ever thought of what the actual reasons for your
experiences might be? (BTW someone got touchy on the White Noise
Topic. White noise is a type of random waveform with a certain peak
to average ratio similar to Pink Noise that us Audio Guys deal with when
testing drivers (Loudspeakers). It's a technical term only and has no other meaning :)
In real life we can use all our senses to retrieve information regarding
a possible mate. We have Sight, Smell, Taste, Touch, and Hearing, not
to mention one's Electromagnetic Aura (The energy field surrounding a
living person's nervous system). On the INTERNET DATING SITES
We only have a two-dimentional image, and written word. Has anyone
ever thought that some who got rejected on here may have made a
different first impression in real life and not gotten rejected?????
You will never convince me that written word, and a two-dimentional
picture can compete with a real person in front of you whose body
language you can witness in 3D, not to mention the way they talk,
how you can engage them, read their eyes, see how they move their
head, the sense of smell working in the subconcious to detect
biological information in odors they give off, the interaction of your
energy fields, etc. You get my point.... On here we have limited factors
on which to judge others.
I don't know about his math. I can't find
scientific basis in 1/4, but he did have a point that you can be more
picky on here. Why? Because of the anonymous nature of this whole
thing. It is possible for each and every one of us to hide behind a
keyboard and cleverly portray only the portions of ourselves we
want to be seen by the other party. In real life it is harder to do that.
It is true that there are a lot of choices on here, so you could theoretically
hold out longer if you are inclined to be more picky. I don't see any logic
in the idea that one sex or the other is to blame (Guys are innocent, Girls
are bad, or the other way around). I think both sexes on here can be great
people, or great Game Players. I have sent many mails, very few have
been answered, I don't blame the girls for that, as I sometimes don't
respond to messages I get from girls on here, as I am not attracted to
them.... but wait..... on what do I base my attraction or lack thereof??????
great question!!!!! you see I base it on their picture, and what they wrote
at that specific time in space. What they wrote under pressure to say
something on that one day, combined with still shots of them
doesn't represent the whole person, nor is
it anywhere near as accurate as dealing with them in person. So my decision
may be in error, but what else do I have to go on? NOTHING. That's one of
the biggest problems with this whole thing, it's restricted. The reason why
so many haven't responded may be the way I talk in my messages. It's how
they will interpret my words. Being that I don't exist in her mind, I can't
predict her exact response, and therefore don't know exactly what to say.
I just try to be me. There was a girl on here 34 years old who tore into
our poster and said he needed to "grow up son".... "you are green
behind the ears" quite hostile indeed. She even said he needed to "learn
alot about women". You know, different men get different response
from different women. Some men develope better talent for dealing with
opposite sex based on observation and experience, and others don't
Nobody has the right to criticise someone who can't play piano,
maybe he isn't a musician. Is that wrong?????? NO NO NO
He's not bad because he isn't a musician. I spent many years of my
life in my technical pursuits and never really practiced much dating
until now (32 years). Am I a GEEK? Maybe, but having developed
the side of my brain that deals with math for example, and not sex
doesn't make me inferior. Just different, just like races are different
but all are GOOD. She probably could say the same thing to me, but I
am older and can stand on my feet when confronted with error or critcism.
I own a business and deal with people every day. I've had several business'
in my life. I know what goes on out there, I've seen first hand.
I realise my lack of dating experience may be the
ultimate factor in my difficulty dealing with women, but I can pick
up that skill like I learned how to design loudspeaker cabinets for
live sound concerts! I am human, I am intelligent, and I can LEARN. So there.
If a guy doesn't get much response it's probably because of:
1. how he approaches women,
2. the types of women he tries to contact (they need to be like you mentally), and
3. the lack of correct judgement on here due to the lack
of info on which to decide if you want to pursue someone, and
4. girls being selective, because something else came her way
which she thought was better (jumping from one guy to the next)
As for jumping around and being abnormally picky, it may be quite easy
on here, because in real life you know you can't just find guys or girls in
rapid fire succesion. You meet one, then maybe later on you meet another.
On here there are so many, you can message one guy or girl, then do the
next even the same day.
If you sent several hundred messages out in a few days, you may get a
good number of responses. Then you could pick more carefully with
errored judgement (see above) who you think you like best. As the
choices increase it's a buyers market. That's a FACT.
To sum it all up YES WE CAN BE MORE SELECTIVE on here.
We are also very selective in real life too, but the increased choices
here multiply our selectivity. We are still just as selective as in
real life, but given the vast numbers of possibilities there are also more
rejections to acceptance ratio so it appears as though we are more
selective. It just amplifies an existing phenomena.
WE CANNOT judge people here like we would in real life due to
a lack of data on which to base a true decision. Many possible
first contacts may be lost because someone said Na,,, not that one.
If they had met in a school room the impression may have been
different, and maybe they would have talked!..... who knows.
Game playing on here is SUPER easy because of the HIDE BEHIND
KEYBOARD and not accurate picture phenomena. You people
may never truely know who I am because you only can read what
I write, and see a picture which doesn't look all that great (I couldn't
upload it properly.. POF errored after upload each time, so I gave up)
And yes I sometimes don't start conversations with every girl who
sends me a message. I know I may be making a bad judgement,
but data is lacking, and this software hits a glitch with only words
and picture. What I really need is to meet these people in person.
But, many times that doesn't happen because girls have to be more
cautious than guys when dealing with strangers. NO offense at all,
but most guys are way more physical, and don't fear meeting a girl
they don't know, but turn the tables, and girls think twice...
tell me if I'm wrong, I do alter my oppinions when good data is
presented.
I am not trying to offend anyone here, just show this from an angle
that no one else has seen yet on here (I read the whole thread).
Hopefully this will create greater understanding on here, so people
can stop acting like minors, and reason like adults on this most
interesting issue.

Posted: 4/21/2007 11:59:18 PM | If anyone would like more carefully thought out data on various
subjets on here, I am always more than happy to respond with my Ideas.
I like to learn from others too. I saw many good pieces on here
regarding OP from people who viewed it more calmly.
If you only want to argue, prove yourself, get hostile, insult me,
belittle me, or in any way try to engage me in non-productive
childlike talk regarding anything I won't respond, as I don't
choose to lower myself to the level of a child and fight it out online.
This place is for people to discuss things like adults, not like little
kids having a fight over something because someone stuck their
toungue out. If you'd like to talk feel free to message me. I love
discussion.

Posted: 4/22/2007 4:57:36 AM | I MUST APOLOGIZE!!!
I MADE A STUPID JOKE ABOUT WHITE NOISE....
BUT REALLY PEOPLE...
IT WAS A JOKE!! NOTHING MORE.........I absolutely KNEW that the poster was not making any racial comments.........I just thought it would be funny with the way everything has to be so "politically correct".
People on here who know me, KNEW I was kidding, I did NOT think ANYONE would take that seriously.......
I am truly sorry for the confusion and havoc that whole situation wreaked.

Posted: 4/22/2007 5:12:00 AM | john1747, you did have a lot of good points in your post and I agree with most of them, but I am gonna have to disagree with you about women being pickier on here than they would be in real life. Statistically (if your stats are correct) then we would have the option to be pickier I suppose, but I know that for myself that is not the case. In fact, I find it just as difficult on here to find someone I am interested in as I do in real life. We all need to be picky to an extent. If I am interested in someone on here I will talk with him and see how it goes, even if someone else comes along that is also interesting. One thing I really agree with in your post is about the fact that there are probably a lot of times that someone gets passed up because they don't seem attractive, but in person they just might be totally different and totally attractive to you. That happened to me once when I asked a guy out on a whim only being slightly interested and probably would not have went out with him normally. I met him and he was much better in person, physically and his personality. We dated for a month and it was really great! I think people should keep their options open and give people a chance that they think are only slightly attractive until you meet in person. I mean how many times have we all met someone that was mr. mcdreamy in their pics that turned out to be mr. mcnothing like his pics and totally not your type in person? This works the other way too people I promise!  Also, I have found that the more attractive a guy is the more likely he is to be a player (sorry guys, just my experience)..... | |

I think most of us got what you were saying.
I can see if macnews had a bad encounter with a fatty that we would be discussing that Seriously, warn me when you're going to do that...I'm adding another keyboard to your list of "owe me's", I spit coffee on it again!!!! You're too funny! | |
