| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 2/26/2008 5:30:21 PM | When I first started on the internet personals I look at and read many of profiles and notice that a number of them had no games or game players. At first I did not know what they meant and had to ask a few of them what did they meant about game players. Now over the past year or so I have run across women who play games on the persaonals and I would estimated the number to be at least 25% of my contacts. Like to know what other people think that the percentage is and would love to hear from a woman game player as to why. My thoughts are that they are married, bored girlfriends and such. | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 4/26/2008 11:31:41 AM | | I am a psychiatric nurse who is single and is on here but for the right reasons . I hear a lot of women and men do this because they have something missing in their life or they want something from you and just tell you what you what you want to hear. It's sad because the innocent one always gets hurt like me and you . We are in it for a life time mate to love and be loved back but for no reason but that and enjoy each other till life is over holding hands and enjoying life together. not playing games as it is today. But like I said the innocent always get hurt until they finally meet some one who is real and love the person for who they are. your friend carol | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 6/3/2008 7:36:24 PM | I think you may be a bit low on that percentage. I've noticed that some women have a grocery list of demands and do's and don'ts. My biggest turnoff is when you send a brief "Hello" email and so many can't extend the common courtesey to respond. A simple "no thank you" response is better than nothing at all. After all, you are on her to MEET PEOPLE. Conversation never hurt anyone.
Tip to women: Don't come out of the gate with demands and rules. That will get you nowhere in a hurry. Kids are fine and important but don't shove them down the throat of potential men and basically say "you're the last thing on my list below taking the garbage out" and expect someone with good qualities to be serious about meeting you when you already have pointed out that "you the man" are not important.
If you're over 30, don't expect to be chased. That went out in high school.
Women on this site and others are bad about playing games. Talk with you via messenger or POF point of contact for a few days or even weeks and just disappear like Houdini. Not cool and just plain rude. How do you expect to meet somebody that will respect you if you can't extend respect to others.
Maybe that's why you're still single and on this and other dating sites for over a year. | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 6/4/2008 9:09:56 AM | | There are a few that are really mixed up. They want to date, but, shy away at the last minute. I've found some that only want a "sugar daddy". One I've contacted said that she wanted to meet with me only to give excuses why she could not. Others wanted me to move close to them (I'm about 25 miles from BR). Now, why should I move near them without even meeting them? The same goes for men. I know a couple of men on here that are out for only one thing (sex). Not my cup of tea (one night stands). You are correct when you are saying that they are expecting too much. Take a look at the list of demands. One demand is not here for friends. I always thought you had to be friends first. | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 6/6/2008 7:25:11 AM | | I don't know about percentages or other women...but when I joined, and to this day, if I don't do the contacting....I'd still be sitting home every nite. The guys on here just want to chat or talk on the phone...and the conversation has nothing to do with meeting, greeting, or dating. It's mostly requests (and I'm putting it nicely) for cybering or phone sex. Another problem I'm running across, as a female, is the distance....most guys think that 1 or 2 hours drive is WAY to far. Do they want somebody around the corner from them? If that's the case, take a walk down the block. Knock on doors. But getting back to my first sentence, it's highly unusual for a guy to even get in touch first, whether it be by email or IM. I can count on two fingers how many guys actually contacted me first. And there's no weekend meets here in Lafayette....which I find is strange. I KNOW there's single people floating around in just this area. I see 'em every time I go to a downtown alive or a festival,,,,,just roaming around , looking, but not approaching. EZ, I've met you once, and we've emailed on occasion...yes, I know you work....as do most of the guys on here....but one meeting and a couple emails does not a relationship make. So who's doing what to whom...LOL Just my humble opinion. | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 6/26/2008 8:35:45 AM | | Well I have been on POF for awhile. Most of what I have found is that guys are bored with their spouse, just looking for a piece of AZZ on the side, or recently out of a relationship and they think knocking out as many as they can is a score card. I cant say what the player thing is cause I'm not player. I try to answer everyone that emails me and I'll be honest, there are very few on here that I have felt was sincere about who they are and what they are....but then I'm pretty straight forward and if I got the time I'll be here and answer and talk ect, if I'm in the busy season and working alot.... well all I can say is please understand... I'll get there when i can.. LOL | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 6/26/2008 8:48:13 AM | A lot of what you say is true here.. but remember one thing.. a Lot of guys do the same thing. I work in the oilfield and I cant count how many guys I have said "say goodbye" to because they stereo type females in my field. I have a son living at home, and I do not allow him to be involved or meet anyone until and when it has come to a "committed" relationship and I feel certain it is going to head somewhere serious. I don't like a bunch of rules and regulations in a relationship either and to be honest I wont tolerate it. ..Quickest way to see my behind heading out the door and not looking back is to insinuate or accuse me of doing something I know I'm not doing. Why be in a relationship if your not gonna at least TRY to trust the other person. Trust takes time but hey people be real... it has to earned yes, but you cant go into a relationship with insecurities... just don't commit until you have the security already in the relationship. You can be exclusive without committing.. it's a personal choice... As to the not answering of emails.. dude.. I try to answer all my mail. And with my schedule not always easy to get on messenger and stay active.. I get that accusation all the time of being Houdini... I sure don't do it with intent...
My biggest beef..... Stop judging and punishing me for what your ex did to you... get out the past, I dont want to hear about it, rehash it over and over, and if you cant see I am not her... move on.. get over it...Life is to short... | |

| Percentage of women who play games on the personals Posted: 9/5/2008 11:31:49 PM | | Not sure what games you are talking about, but if its the BS game ~~~ I think the men win hands down. I have had several dates and it seems most are interested in SEX as the main from of entertainment. Not my place to say this is right or wrong, but the other party should know ahead of time what their intentions are. So EZ if you think that 25% of the women are playing games, I venture to say that the men stats are a lot higher. Somewhere around 65 %. The thing is , just be honest about what you are looking for. Dont romance a woman with all the talk of love and committment, loyality knowing that all you want is to get laid. | |
