And of course, when that happens the brain cells become frozen as the testostorone level jumps to 2400 fahrenheit. It's at this point that the saliva cells dry up and the palms become sweaty and the fingers refuse to operate and soon the brain/motor responses freeze over and all they can write is "How are you?" The obvious reason for this is because they know that if you respond to this oversimplistic phrase that chances wre that they will suffer a cardiac arrest. Does this makes sense? | |

Divedrifter, I don't have to fill out my profile, I'm only here for the forums. Yours has even less and you're the one here to meet women. You're clearly quite angry that no one wants you and you take it out on others. Have fun thinking women are worthless. That, your psycho emails and posts, your lame profile, plus your 3 word intros, are sure to all keep you single forever. Glad I live no where near you, you'd probably stalk me. And, I guess most women in this thread are "spoiled princesses" as well, according to your serial killer logic. You don't have to STATE that you think women are worthless, you've already expressed it with your woman-hating names and you've actually stated that women don't deserve respect or effort (even in your saying that women don't deserve any more than 3 words). I seriously hope you don't ever have kids. You need to stay alone forever and it looks like you always will.
You poor lass...
LOL... Wow, amazing how you can twist things in your world. Good thing its not reality and there are padded walls around you!
A simple, "hey, how are you?" from a guy who is possibly shy or sick and tired of getting read/delete all the time, is a very easy opener for a conversation. But then again, I suppose if one were to write out an entire paragraph, just to get a read/delete response... shows a lot of arrogance on your part.
Then again, if one were to write out the introduction paragraph, cut and paste it every time to all the women he wanted to contact, that you would then be appauled at the fact he didnt take the time to write to you specifically... and of course, then he would be a "typical man"
Face it, there is no pleasing women like you.... high maintenance... hence... Princess!
All this vitriol, maybe its you who needs to find a man. Take some of the 'edge' off a bit... LOL.... I couldnt care less about you either way... but apparently you wanted to jump on the band wagon, and start sending me nasty gram messages. Just because you're blocked, like your partner who hates common courtesy and likes to send nasty grams as well, you really dont have to keep stalking me.
Im not interested. Really... but the attention is flattering!! LOL... Keep responding, as I am sure the rest of the world can see your adoration for me. Alas, its just not going to happen though.... Good luck to you | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 1:54:02 PM | | Psychodrifter, you're as psycho as you are stupid. Once again, for the millionth time, I'm not single. And your rants? Talk about reading crap into things. Take some of your own advice there. And why attack me and freebird, when most of the women in this thread agree with us? Are all those women all princesses too? Why single the two of us out? Can't control your attraction to us? Well, you're clearly unstable and, if you truly don't care, why even obsess over this thread so much and keep responding? Clearly, you have no friends and no life (at least I'm not single like you). You're psychoses are too funny (I know you don't know what that word means). Keep obsessing over me, freebird and women you can't have. I know that's your only entertainment in life. Oh, lets see how much you "don't care" by keeping responding and getting so angry. It's pretty funny and sad, really. :P The more you respond, the more obvious it is that you DO care and are upset that no women wants you. | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 6:38:18 PM | It's just a conversation starter. Maybe a weak one but it is a start. If the sender does not interest you just click delete.
If I was standing in line at the grocery store and an attractive woman walked up and said "how are you" I could easily get the conversation going from there. | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 7:05:30 PM | | Problem is, online dating is NOT a grocery store, it's very different. You have to approach people differently. I've always thought if people can't handle the effort of online dating, maybe they shouldn't try and stick to real life. Also, I'd have to say, if I were still single and some guy walked up to me in a grocery store in line and said "how are you" and then just stood there saying nothing else, I'd be a bit creeped out. | |

This is the "exact" type of petty garbage that keeps women like you and all the others from even being able to get a date or having any success from this web site. This is also why good decent men like myself and many others on this site have simply given up on mailing women on here because it is "pointless" literally pointless.
I have written "professional" netiquette to a T messages to women on here with no response, i have written the short "Hi how are you doing?" as well...I like most on here have not gotten very many responses.
Most women on here are merely playing games...they are looking for a "perfect guy" when they are "far" from perfect themselves..this is like the "pot calling the kettle black" its actually dishonest on any imaginable level.
that being said....some of you women need to think in terms of "real life"
If a guy sees you in the grocery store and approaches you, he may say "hi, how are you, I am "insert name here". Or your 1st moment may be eye contact followed by a "Hi"
I think most of the women on here are just simply being "petty"....these are the types of women you want to stay away from guys...this is nothing more than game playing...besides, if they are already complaining about a guy Saying "Hi" imagine what they will complain about when you get in a relationship with her...Lord have mercy on your soul!
This is nothing more than petty excuses...actually its worse than that its pathetic excuses....
why not try to get to know the person rather than tearing them down because they said Hi.... | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 9:41:21 PM | Ok, I guess I am guilty of this also. I havent gone out much and the online dating thing, even though I have been attempting to do it for over a year, is pretty foreign to me still so I never really know what to say. Does this make me unimaginative? I guess so, but maybe I am just clueless? I also am not one to be able to approach someone in person and start a conversation either.
I admit, that if a guy sends, "Hi" or "How are you?", if I am interested, I will respond, if not, I dont.
I know this thread is long, but out of curiousity, what would you say or would like someone to say?  | |

Posted: 10/3/2008 9:49:59 PM | I am not guilty of simply saying "how are you" but to be fair some people hardly put anything in their profile to encourage discussion. Sometimes a simple hello can spark a conversation.
Simply dismissing someone for saying "How are you" seems a bit premature.
Assume you and I meet at a social event and I came up and said "hello", would you simply turn your back and dismiss me or would you say hello in return and see what follows? | |

Posted: 10/4/2008 12:21:00 AM | | Woody79, maybe your lucky is so awful because you are angry and bitter towards women? Just because you have problems, that doesn't mean the OP and "women like her" have any problem finding dates. Who ever said they did? You and that divedrifter need to form a bitter, angry male group and stay off the web and quit scaring decent people with your rants. Maybe get some therapy before trying to get a date next time. | |

Posted: 10/4/2008 12:48:45 AM | Occasionally I have sent a message just saying "Hi, how are you?" but that is because I hit the enter key after the subject line, and the message went through before I added anything else.
Other times, I look at the photo, read the profile, and go blank about what interesting thing to say???
I make a point of personalising every introductory message I send, but maybe I should just use a standard "Hi, how are you. Want to come for a picnic???"
It will be quicker, easier, and probably get exactly the same response.
Nnaahhhh!!!! That would be me giving up and admitting there's no interesting women on here. I know they are here...... they have to be....... Somewhere??????? | |

Depends on what type of social event we're talking about.
Grocery store... nope, I'll nod and keep walking. The only exception would be if you were wearing a t shirt or something of unique identifying qualities that told me something about yourself (ie a shirt that indicated you were a gamer/geek).
Bar, highly unlikely. I avoid conversations in there because I can't hear very well over the loud noise and it's usually too dim for me to see properly.
Gaming convention, probably. But we're in a location where I know you wouldn't be if we didn't share some type of common interest. Same with a game store or comic book store.
Regardless, this is not the same type of situation. In person you will have a chance to act and react in under 2 minutes. Here it's drug out over hours/days depending on how often the two of you check emails. It's just not productive. | |

I am one who have very little on profile, but I get many email that are interesting and much more than "How are you" So I do understand if you choose not to type much to me, but my option between 2 paragraph interesting email and "how are you" is easy.
Assume you and I meet at a social event and I came up and said "hello", would you simply turn your back and dismiss me or would you say hello in return and see what follows?
I would say hello and continue with my day. But this is not relevent. Email is not similar to walking to someone and start conversation. I will use IM if I want "Hi how are you" "Good, thank you. How are you?" type conversation. | |

Posted: 10/4/2008 4:55:08 AM | | If it's extremely "annoying" for a person to simply ask you how you are doing then I would say you must be one sad angry person. Imagine trying to have a rational sane relationship with a woman who gets twisted up by a simple statement. No thanks. | |

That happens to me all the time. It's called living in the south.

Kathareeene, your using 'textspeak', or whatever it's called, especially at your age, is annoying. I looked at your profile and you can write properly, so why use textspeak?

Posted: 10/4/2008 5:29:50 AM | | All I have learned is a man can't win no matter what they say. IT's too little or it's too much or it had a misspelled word or wrong punctuation. Women can find some reason to be critical in any situation. Now if you look like Tom Cruse and drive a vette they will overlook you not even having pants on and counting on your fingers and think it's cool. But be some ordinary guy and have one button too many open on your shirt and your a "player" or a "perv." Men, lets be honest in todays world we cannot win or find a woman. what they want is unachievable for the average guy so let them live with their man hating ways. Cause no matter what they will find something wrong with you even if its just a hangnail. "well, he was so disgusting you know, he had a hangnail. YUCK, I won't see him anymore" OMG, he sent he an email and all it said was How are you... Gosh what a loser.... we can't win no matter what... I guess I could write two pages and still get the same, Gosh, he wrote two pages... I hate these guys who just go on and on... | |

Posted: 10/4/2008 5:48:29 AM | | I'm a southerner and I say how are you a lot. I've been in the grocery store and said how are you to someone and the person just walks right by as if I said nothing at all. I guess it's a northern thing not to talk to people or be polite. Down here a lot of northerners are moving in and all the old southern ways are being lost to all these snobs moving in and seem to be scared of their shadow. They think just because you say hello you want to take them to bed or maybe you want to drag them to the back alley and OMG, shake their hand. I'm about sick of these kinds of people who are not into caring about there fellow person and just saying how are you is not a death sentence to you. Just say hello back and be on your way but not saying anything makes a guy like me say to myself, damn , she's a rude dang yankee who thinks the north is so great they decide to live in the south and bring there lame ass northern attitude with them. HEy, the road goes in two directions. When in Rome do as the Roman's do. Try to show some class and be nice to people in your new home. Now if we can just get the Mexicans to say Y'all we will have it all. | |

Yes, three words is too short and two pages is too long. There is a good compromise between the extreme examples. But I think you know this and only want to vent. Did you have bad night?  | |

If men had any lick of sense, they wouldn't bother with you.
You expect them to put the effort in while have put none into your own profile. Yet you say that given the choice, you'll answer the interesting one's only. So tell me, what makes you so interesting with your lame two sentence profile? Nothing except the pics. So down the road when you've been used, you can be like the others here and tell us how you want someone to want you for you.
Something to ponder.
This isn't a personal attack alexy because I read your forum posts and know that you are cool. But just going by profiles alone, that should give you pause for concern. | |

I do not expect any thing. I he do not want to "bother with" me, I understand. But this do not change that people do.
Yet you say that given the choice, you'll answer the interesting one's only.
Yes. If I can not answer every person and I must choose, why would I choose the "hi how are you" above the interesting one? I do not blame a person for not have much to say to me but many do.
So tell me, what makes you so interesting with your lame two sentence profile? Nothing except the pics.
Nothing from my profile, in my opinion. Other may be intereted that I am from another country or my school. But nothing interesting in my opinion. As for pics, that is enough for many. In the same as it is enough to approach some one in the mall.
So down the road when you've been used, you can be like the others here and tell us how you want someone to want you for you.
Similar to "nice guy" threads I see I can look forward to be used and abused. Of the 5 people I meet from POF all have been great. None go past third date but I am hapy with type of people I have meet. I do not see the conect of being used and this thread but I will look forward to this jerk who make me bitter person :) | |

Posted: 10/4/2008 6:25:32 AM | | Isn't everyone on here venting to some degree...? My thought exactly... With a woman there is no compromise unless she wants it to be otherwise she will have something to say about it. Lets be real, guys can't do anything right in a woman's eyes unless SHE sees it that way. Only if she likes it otherwise your crap...! | |

I do not expect any thing. I he do not want to "bother with" me, I understand. But this do not change that people do.
And what do you expect from them? Conversation? You're going by looks alone and that's not a good approach. But you aren't here for anything serious anyway so it doesn't matter.
Nothing from my profile, in my opinion. Other may be intereted that I am from another country or my school. But nothing interesting in my opinion. As for pics, that is enough for many. In the same as it is enough to approach some one in the mall.
At least you admit it.
But we are talking about the "online" dating where one must put an extraordinary amount of effort in to get noticed. Or does this just apply to men and the less desirable women?
And no, this isn't the same as approaching someone in the mall but I do see what you mean. Getting noticed for who you are instead of how you look should be the top priority in the online world. With you though, it's the complete opposite and I'd think a little bit about that if I were you.
Similar to "nice guy" threads I see I can look forward to be used and abused. Of the 5 people I meet from POF all have been great. None go past third date but I am hapy with type of people I have meet. I do not see the conect of being used and this thread but I will look forward to this jerk who make me bitter person :)
Because someone is gonna come along that you are competely infactuated with that's gonna use you. Remember that there's always going to be someone out there that's just a little smarter and more cunning and knows how to get what he wants. So keeping thinking the way you do if you don't believe me. In a few years, you'll look back and say maybe I was right. | |
