Questionable1 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I've gotten my fair share of messages from men who I am attracted to, but when I read their profile and what traits they look for in a woman, I realize that I don't really fit their picture. For example, I received a message from a guy a couple of months ago who was hoping to meet a women that he can go tailgating with and to the bars with his friends every couple of evenings. He was attractive so I went on a couple of dates with him just to see. We obviously weren't compatible and realized that quickly. A few weeks after that, I went out with another guy for a month but we ended up not being compatible. I could have realized that from his profile. After those experiences, when I receive a message from a guy, if I don't fit their ideal woman, I don't even bother. Needless to say, this is really cutting my numbers low. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't do this because I may be missing out. Yesterday I received a message from a guy that seems really great. He's attractive and based on his profile, we seem to have many similar interests, values, and goals. But there are a couple of problems: I'm 2 inches shorter than his desired height range but most of all, he also wants someone extroverted and I'm very introverted. Should I even bother?
jdean76 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I say it never hurts to go on as many dates as you can, especially as a woman. It's being paid for and you get a chance to see if there is something. As long as you don't mind committing the time, then go for it.
John018 Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Hi Questionable, you seem to be creating a lot of reasons NOT to go on dates with these men. Tbh, I don't think that you should take what people write in their profiles too seriously. And then there are the large proportion of men who really don't know what they're looking for in a woman. They will write one thing but may find that a different type of women is more of what they want. Just have an open mind and you never know what might happen!
Tim The Enchanter Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Should I even bother? What have you got to lose? Only you can decide that. The majority of dates that I've been on have turned out to be either dead ends or complete wastes of time, but that's dating for you.
