Exactly. They say there is someone out there for everybody. This theory hasn't, and never can be, proven correct.

Almost just gave up....

I have only been on this site a few months but am also very disoluioned.First it is very hard finding someone geographically,and then there is that CHEMISTRY..
Met 3 guys nice enough but did not resemble their picture and no chemistry.
Finally ,I met someone l was interested in and yes lots of chemistry . He had listed as looking for Dating .After a few dates l realized something was wrong . He would only see me throught the week ,with no explanation . When l pushed for answers and asked directly if he was seeing someone else as well he admitted that he was .
I felt so used . I slept with this person because l was genuinally interested in him and thought he felt the same . He tells me he does not want any relationship just friendship. Does that mean guys looking for friendship are wanting just sex no commitment and no relationship .YUK> How shallow.
Beware girls if the guy is advertising for friendship , They neglect to put with fringe benefits .

BURNT

I am starting to feel the same way.

I try to be a nice person, and I try to talk to women here, but women on here reject me and say "you're not my type" before they even get to know me.

My profile is only a brief summary of me. No one even bothers to dig further.

It's starting to get to the extent where I am about to say "What's the Point?"

Not all women, but many obviously don't realize the effort that many men put into this, simply because men do the chasing and women do the choosing. Many don't understand the constant rejection faced by most of us after sending out hundreds of emails on various sites trying to get someone to respond and just at least exchange some emails. I can't tell you the number of times I've seen women post how they get hundreds of emails a week. How many of you men here (and be honest) get hundreds of emails a week? How about a hundreds over six months? How about ten in a week...how about one in a week? How many of you pay for your membership? I know I usually do, occasionally I don't. You know how many times I've seen woman admit in their profiles (on various sites) that they don't have a paid membership? Now I've gotten some replies on this site from some nice ladies, but nothing promising yet. We'll see.

In general I don't know the answer, but something just doesn't seem right or just.

Now that is the most accurate statement I have heard for a while.

I sent[/i[ a hundred messages just this week. From that batch, 89 got Read/Deleted.
3 were kind enough to reply saying "thankyou for your interest, but no thankyou".
another 5 were simply "Read", while the remainder were well, I won't relay the content.
I have not [i[recieved
a hundred since 2003.

Mind you, these 100 messages I sent were merely a simple greeting, followed by basic questions of interest in their profile.

To be brutally honest, the vast majority of those on here are, to put it politely, socially retarded. They lack even the most basic aspects of common courtesy, not even having the decency to reply to a well-written email. And I'm talking about emails which actually reference their profile, not some cookie-cutter "How's it goin'? " type of generic crap.
I've come to realize that most people on here (male AND female) have absolutely NO intention of EVER replying to or contacting anybody on this site. They're only here for the ego trip of seeing how many people they can con into showing interest in them.
Just a sad, shallow bunch.
(Not that I'm bitter!! Just being realistic.)

An understatement. When the first thing they go via is your photo, it 's a worry.
Don't be fed that "oh I want to see who I am talking to" garbage...they base whether or not they want to talk to you on this.

That's pathetic dude - you are a good-looking guy - I see guys way uglier than you getting with hot chicks all the time..and guys like me? Well, I thought I would do well on this site but really haven't found anyone I'm interested in. I don't know why it doesn't work for you - maybe try offline - I am going back to that as I can meet way hotter chicks who have good personalities in real life around the University and so forth.

These women will never get with anyone because they have standards that are way too high and because they don't live in the real world.

Some advice to the ladies - if he's really hot - and you're not - he's most likely a player looking to score some easy tail - and you make it so easy so why not? I know I have those options anytime I want, but I don't use them cause frankly I don't need the drama. So if you're a chick that's maybe a 5-7, go for the guys within that same range - take a chance and you might end up being happy otherwise you might be alone for ever.

How true. None of the women who've looked at my profile looked at my old profile with a photo, yet I've been sent messages saying "put up your photo", "don't care what others think".

Amazing
