PhillyDude Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Because a women is not seeing hundreds of photos at one time and can actually respond based on what you are saying. I responded to this girl online Saturday night and we were going back and forth for a while and then we exchange email addresses. Then we confirmed email addresses through exchanging brief messages and I gave her my number to call me on Saturday. Mon, Tue, and Wed has went by and she has not contacted me. I did send a happy valentine's day ecard but she yes yet to respond to that too. So I guess the variety of people to choose from makes something like this a REALITY in the world of online dating. I sent one last email today but that will probably be it. I guess I hust feel like I wasted all that time going back and forth when I could have been doing something else. Oh well time to move on I guess. AGAIN, This is why I prefer to meet women on craiglist because you don't get canceled out as easily
Barky Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 You should be contacting 5-10 women a day if you're online dating. Don't spend too much time on any one of 'em.
greatgirlfriend Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 I haven't had much luck yet on CL. Most seem to only want a booty call.
alphamale Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 most of the chicks on craigslist are either fakes or prostitutes
Author PhillyDude Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 I haven't had much luck yet on CL. Most seem to only want a booty call. I think for women you have to respond to ads to have better success just like a man has to post ads to suceed. If a man tries to get a date on CL from responding to ads then he will never have one.
Author PhillyDude Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 most of the chicks on craigslist are either fakes or prostitutes That's why it's better if you post an ad rather than reply to an ad. There are lots of regular girls on CL reading the men ads along with prositutes.

I once responded to a guy looking for a girfriend with eventually marriage, and he never responded back.
Author PhillyDude Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 I didn't know that. I once responded to a guy looking for a girfriend with eventually marriage, and he never responded back. 95% of all the dates i went on from women I met from CL was from ads I posted.

and.then.some Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 CL scares me. If I ever try on-line dating, it would not be there. To the point... isn't it better not to waste the time? Everyone's so spoiled now. 10+ ago no picture wasn't a big deal, as not everyone had a scanner or digital camera. Back then, I met a few people in person who I had become friends with online. It was all based on personality. Years past before I even saw a picture of some of those people, or them of me. From chat or forum, to IM & email, to phone... and eventually to a birthday party or something. I can see the convenience in knowing right away that you have some things in common with the person. I went on a date with one such friend. We got along GREAT. He's an attractive guy, in shape... and 3 inches shorter than he claimed. But, there was absolutely no chemistry. Had I been looking for a boyfriend or someone to date, this might have been rather frustrating. We talked for months, as friends, before I agreed to meet him and go on a "date". We talked aaall the time too. He's a cool guy and made a nice friend, but when looking for love.... I think the old fashioned way is probably best. A "model shot" can only tell you so much about attraction...

There are lots of regular girls on CL reading the men ads along with prositutes. I posted an ad with nothing but a picture of Vegeta and text saying, "If you look like this, let's f**k." as a joke to see what would happen. I got about thirty-forty emails back. A lot of them didn't look anything like Vegeta. Methinks that there are WAY more men than women looking on Craigslist.
Hot Carl Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 That's kind of what I look like, except the hair.
