Posted: 6/23/2005 7:30:18 PM | I think I have to stop laughing ... but that could take a few days! 
Nice one! I have often thought that myself. Don't get it, don't care, but still don't get it.

| What have you learned about online dating here?
Posted: 6/23/2005 8:00:27 PM | | Just like the other sites I've been on, if you have a pic, that's what they respond to. Not all, but many. I finally started deleting emails got tired of sending a polite response to questions they would flood me with which would have been answered had they read what I spent time writing. I don't care if a guy is a doctor who lives in a huge mansion and drives a Porsche, if you don't read my profile and write me an email that says hi beautiful and asks a preanswered question, you're outta there. It's a signal they don't pay attention and who wants a man like that? Certainly not me! | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 8:54:57 PM | Well, it's not just me.
The illiteracy is one thing that I cannot forgive. Call it fast typing... I call it you are so beneath me it's not funny. But you want sex and you can spell sex. That should be commended, I suppose... LOL! | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 9:04:11 PM | Agreed.
But what's worse is when they feign interest over a period of days and you have remarkably similar interests, and then you IM them and they blow you off. Hey, I'm not dumb. Didn't you read the profile? Better yet, read what I didn't say. | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 9:55:58 PM | | So, having monogamous relationships in the past is obviously not a good reference. LOL! I just don't know what a good guy wants. Sure I can be your personal slut. A tramp even. But that comes AFTER a trusting relationship has been established. I think many girls here can say the same. | |

We men are visual creatures, no apologies here, it's just the way we are wired. However, I do read profiles and when one interests me I remember it. I might not respond immediately but I do watch for them to pop up again throughout the forums.
I "chat" with several women here from time to time and many of them, although very attractive and intelligent, feel they are invisible here. Keep in mind you have no way of knowing just who is reading that profile of yours or following your posts in an effort to learn more about you.
Modine,
You have a well written profile, an attractive picture posted (although a bit distant) and list several enticing interests. You also seemigly have a great attitude with the exception of a couple of posts here tonight  but your frustration is understandable. Getting acclimated to this place, just as all others, takes time and requires a "weeding out" process.
Don't expect too much or require too little of anyone here and you will field fewer disappointments. | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 10:49:04 PM | | Thank you for that, passinthru. I DO feel invisible. My photo is at a bit of a distance, yes, but it's the one photo taken recently that I feel captures more than words can describe. It truly IS me. Outside,... looking in. Perhaps I'm destined to always be the seeker... and never to find the 'soulmate' others describe. But alas, I know I'm comfortable in my own skin... tho I'm bored out of my skull with most men I meet. I know he's out there... LOL! | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 11:07:55 PM | | People arent always who their profiles say they are, they say"i'm looking for a long term relationship" and the first thing they say is" How big are your boobs?" You wouldn't just walk up to somebody and ask something like that...I've learned to guard myself a little better, I've made a few mistakes of opening up too much on these forums, and it's thrown back at me, but I don't take it personally, we're all still strangers... | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 11:45:26 PM | I've learned that if you really want to have fun at this site you have to come to the forums! 
I don't go by pictures when I decide to talk to someone. It's all in the profiles. I've tried to talk to some people who are knock outs but they are about as interesting as a dictionary. So I've learned to ignore the pictures and skip streight to the profile. Then still you have to actually work at figuring out if the person you're talking to is real or just putting on a front.
I've learned that Canadians are people too!! And they rock!! 
One last thing, I've learned that I get really annoyed with "net-speak". I think some intelligence is lost when you translate it into english. | |
