...on this site. I've been here a month, messaged every girl in my area who interests me, and not just the typical generic "hi what's up?" stuff either, I've actually put some time and thought into it... and the only ones who I made any progress with have either stopped talking to me, or they've stood me up when they suggested we meet. Maybe it's that women on this site are teases, maybe it's that I'm shooting way too high, although I don't think either of those is the case, but it would seem that whatever the cause, this pond has dried up. I'll keep the profile open and maybe lurk the forums a bit when I'm bored, but otherwise... I'm outta here.

I wasn't the type of douchebag who sent out vengeful messages when I got shot down, I just took my lumps and moved on... but in retrospect... you ladies really are missing out on a responsible, honest, smart guy with a decent body and one of the strongest spontaneous streaks you'll ever see. Good luck.

Because women are liars. They say they want to meet a nice guy, then if you show any intertest, you never hear from them again. I'm trying to relocate SOMEWHERE, and so I've asked the simplest questions like "what's it like in your area? What do you like about living there?" And not even a simple response. I just don't get it. I'm almost 50 and ready to just quit trying. Its pretty hard to not quit trying when you can't even get a simple response. Heaven forbit I should attempt to ask someone for coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On other sites I get e-mails from women in Russia, Gyana, China and other places of the world that I would never visit. These women are obviously looking for a rich husband to take them away. I ALWAYS send them a response. ALWAYS!!!!!!!

I guess the women in America are just too good to consider how other people might feel.

Well, for starters it doesn't look good when you're looking for an Intimate Encounter. Even if you are... just say Long Term since a lot of people have that blocked. And responding to women looking for a sugar daddy in America reeks of desperation. Even if you don't convey that to a woman you're pursuing, they can sense it because of how it subconciously affects your body language, confidence, whatever.

Anyway. Funny thing happened... a girl messaged me and said she wanted to get to know me. She lives on the other side of the continent and wasn't the best looker, so it's not like anything was going to ever come of it, but in good faith I messaged her back, saying hello, being friendly because I know how much it pisses me off to have that happen when you message someone and they say nothing back. And then she never said anything back. Meh.

Not all women are liars as not all men are liars. I myself am about ready to give up on the dating sites. I joined the free ones and get response's but they evidently don't read what I put in my profile because the ones I get are usually from someone that definitely don't fit any of the information I have provided. Most are from guys 10 to 20 years younger than myself, or from out of the country. Then you have the guys that send a whisper, flirt etc. whatever freebie the site has and I respond back and get nothing more. If you weren't interested then why send the flirt in the first place. There is a site where you send an "interest" and then the person can respond back if they show a "mutual interest". I received quite a few "mutual interest", went as far as to pay for one month of the site so I could write to them. Wrote to them and received no reply back. We are good friends now but my question is why do they tease that they are interested when really they aren't. See I could say all men are liars but I know this to be untrue. But when a person chooses to show an interest it would be polite if you would at least respond with a polite decline message if you really aren't interested.

I've come to find out that most of these dating sites that have free profiles will allow you to send someone who you find interesting a free "flirt" or "tickle" or whatever they might call it. If the person you are showing interest in is also a free member they only have the same capability to send a showing of interest as you did to them. They can't email you and give you any personal contact information. That is how these sites make their money. They have you pay to be able to contact people. So if you want a response, you must pay their monthly fee. It would be nice if these dating sites allowed people to buy a "day pass for a buck or 2 and give them full membership privileges to be able to contact people of interest. Hey now that's a thought!!!

I think your saying WOMEN ARE LIAR'S just shows how little you know I have met far to many MEN LIAR'S which makes US all not trust one another, on the other hand when lets say a Man messages a Woman on this site and hopefully has read the profile, seems to want to meet her, sending her poetry,music he has recorded and then finally has what seems to be a nice meeting then after wards nothing from the Man, not even a small note saying sorry we are not a match after all <------- always responds to a message I think not which is why I am responding here to let you know , no you do not always respond yourself and when you finally did you were very MEAN which was not called for, but rather a simple ( We are not subitial for one another , good luck and goodby ) would have been the best way to have let me know, Well lets just say not everyone is a match, some love the chase not the catch, and a lot of Men consider themselves to good as well.

You know I always respond so please do not lump all women into your catagory as Liar's and non Responders, I have had my share of Liar's and non Responders from Men as well not to mention I do not like being lumped into any group but then you never got to know me, I wish you all the best in your search

"Because women are liars."

JMHO, I think that's not entirely fair. I do believe a lot of women probably have such unreasonably high standards or such inexplicably low ones that average type guys just don't even show up on their radar a lot of the time, but that doesn't make them liars. Sometimes I think women, and men too for that matter, can get so hung up and obsessed with finding "THE one" that they completely overlook the one right in front of them, that would be great for them but who will never be given a second look...........or a first one for that matter. The worth of a gift cannot be measured by its wrapping.
