A knight in shining armour

[lovelydemon]

I'm just curious. A lot of times when guys write to me on the dating sites they ask "So how has this site been working for you?" Maybe it's because English is my second language but this question really puzzles me, what the heck do they want to hear?

Usually I reply something along the lines "it's working fine, met some nice people, still looking for the one"

 

Also, many times (even though I'm not asking) they'll write something about how many weirdos are on the site. Which, in fact, makes me think that the guy writing is weird. I mean, come on, there can't possibly be THAT many weirdos.

All this makes me wonder if what the guys mainly want to hear is that a poor girl is struggling with all these weird guys messaging her until, FINALLY!, this one comes along (The truly nice guy of course ) to save her.

Any thoughts?

Look up the word "chivalry" and your answer is in the definition.

 

Personally I think women needs to give certain guys more of a fighting chance rather than dismissing them as being creeps. They may seem this way because, maybe, they actually read your profile and decided to write something to you based on your profile? Keep in mind, they put time and effort in writing to you!

Some guys do use the whole "knight in shining armor come to rescue the poor damsel from date site trolls" to talk to women on dating sites. Some are genuine others are just creeps out to make themselves look good. I had it happen to me. I appreciated my boyfriend's approach when we met online. He emailed me stating very directly what he was looking for, why he liked my profile, and that he didn't want to play any games. His approach got me interested, and his personality got me hooked.
