Posted: 12/19/2007 10:02:16 AM | I personally prefer to shop at mini markets and quaint shops/boutiques, large supermarkets and mega stores or malls make me a tad dizzy, have bad service, are too crowded and the ventillation is usually not that good. The best boutiques are the ones that reflect the personality and tastes of the owner/merchant.
Not sure how this applies to dating and online dating, tho!  | |

Posted: 12/19/2007 3:57:26 PM | | Thats just crazy.....The best post is that there are alot more men on here than women. almost 3 men to one woman. If you are sending out emails with 4 words don't expect a response. If you are sending a canned message that shows that you did not read the profile don't expect a response. On the other side of the coin....there are a ton more men who are seeking to make a play and women have the grief of weeding through it. | |

Sounds like window shopping to me.
lol at the shopping analogy. i'm that unheard-of, brag-to-all-your-girlfriends deal on the 60% off rack at Nordstroms... *wink wink*
Weird... eidt "girl" out and put in "guy" before friends and that's pretty much how I think of myself! Oh wait.. take out "Nordstroms" and edit in "vintage Boutique" and THEN you have ME.
Amen! | |

Posted: 12/20/2007 3:35:39 PM | Hear you loud and clear --Have been on this site before and encountered all kinds of rejection--That's fine, it's apart of life....--womens expectations in my opinion or either too high or there is a tendancy for them to over romanticise (trying to find that ideal person that doesn't exist) It's almost like you are cut off at the knees or better yet people can't see the forest through the tress. I'm not about to make apoligies my intrepretaion thus far however, at least appreciate when someone is paying you homage and give people a chance--I don't put alot of stock in meeting anyone on this site as I've had better luck (much better) in "the real world". --The only good thing about this service is that it doesn't cost any thing.  | |

What are they doing differently?

Posted: 12/20/2007 8:38:26 PM | From my perspective, the fewer the better (bada bump), but seriously
some of the women on this site are my friends and have been
in my social circle for years, and I've watched men who have
massive choice of beautiful women go ga-ga over them.
Now the men who are dating them, I've always been very curious
what are they doing differently?

Posted: 12/20/2007 8:59:24 PM | | carbonrust, you are 100%percent right about the women shopping dept. I was sold to a girl, worn a few times and then left in the cupboard. Then she got rid of me ,I still dont know why. I became available as a used man and many women have tried me on. Some have kept me for a while, used me, then put me in the cupboard then thrown me out. Thats my life , it just goes on and on. Jacksprat55 | |

Posted: 12/20/2007 9:17:02 PM | Heh. Good comparison OP.
Was good for a laugh or two.
Not sure why some people decided to come tear it apart, but it was definitely a enjoyable read.
As for the...
FYI most people don't go to garage sales looking for a gem.
You'd be surprised. If you know what items are worth, garage sales can definitely score you a bonus, as some people don't really know the value of their own things.
I remember reading about a guy who made a million off an item found at a garage sale...

Only my impression --I'm not certain you understand the context of my text. --- I'm skeptical that your arguement has any merit--I have been in far better social circles to know that this method of meeting women is the be all end all ( maybe you spend too much time on here). From my experience (and I have plenty of it), this mode of communication is not effective for meeting "the one"--In fact studies show that a very small percentage of people meet "the one" and that most people are unlikely to engage and kind of meaningful relationship (excluding intimate encounters) --Having said that, I challange you to provide me with any evidence (which is likely you don't have) to prove otherwise, I'll change my view(s)
Sincerly (and waiting in anticipation) | |

Yes there are. The three of them live in Antartica. In six month they will get their package with their date. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 8:36:56 AM | This is the first forum I've posted to and the fact that I could not understand all the acronyms (OP, IMO, etc) did not diminish the enjoyment from reading the postings.
Undoubtedly the best posts were those that asked us not to take this all too seriously.
This is a great place to meet people, so put something in your post that gives the ooposite sex a reason to contact you. Pictures are nice, remember "a picture is worth a thousand words" and since I've taken the trouble to post a picture then I expect ladies I might be interested in to do the same.
Lastly, when you send an email to a new person, pick something out of their profile and make a hunorous comment about it. For example around my age (58) so if a lady says she'll "try most things once" then I ask them if they will go parachute jumping or riding the chutes at a water park or hiking to Macchu Picchu.
Merry Christmas to y'all.  | |

On top of this, most of the women registered here don't actually meet anyone. Almost every girl I've met up with from this site has not met anybody else from the internet besides me. So not only are there more men than women online, but most of the women here will never meet up with anyone anyway. It means only a very small fraction of guys are actually going to get anywhere with this at all, let alone end up with a girlfriend from it. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 9:37:06 AM | I'm gonna draw a barcode on my balding head.
I think it's more like a collector's antique store. Women keep adding me to their favourites with no hint as to why and when I email them completely ignore me - I think they're just collecting. Or is that like a spider wrapping you up for a meal later?
I think I'm either a fly or an antique. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 9:42:44 AM | I hate to admit it, but I think you are onto something, because some women cancel you before they can even talk to you. UGLY FACE you are denied HEHE. Just my feelings not any one elses, but I am not bitter | |
