SarcasticBlonde Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 If it worked for you and you're truly happy with your guy then I'm glad for you. I personally believe in positivity early on, and making a list of "do nots" just isn't something I felt was very positive or constructive. It was always a turn off for me and I would never email a girl with those lists. It also worked out for me as I found a very positive profile in my current GF and things are great. I guess it's all comes down to what each person is looking for. I was positive. Positive about what I wanted. I wanted to meet a successful, family oriented, emotionally available man and I did. I don't care if it bothered anyone. I didn't want to hear from men that were threatened by my profile anyway. Men that contacted me were secure and confident enough not to be threatened by a woman that knows what she wants and deserves.
Author irc333 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 True, believe it or not, I saw a woman that had the audacity to say that "Men should who are ugly should know better as to NOT to email her" that she "doesn't need ugly guys contacting her." As, if we should KNOW better enough that we're good-looking enough to contact them, and if we're not attractive, that we're idiots for doing so. Apparently, she spent some time in Hollywood, and this made her realize what she's looking for in a man. And she wasn't much to look at either. Go figure. Some of these profiles are starting to sound more like terrorist demands than a dating profile. LOL Sometimes I would get nasty emails from men calling me names because mt dating profile was so specific. But that was great cause it showed the true character of those men and my profile struck a nerve. I was on there looking for a good fit for me. Not trying to please anyone else.
Author irc333 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 HEre's a sample of said article: A number of my single women friends admit (in hushed voices and after I swear I won’t use their real names here) that they’d readily settle now but wouldn’t have 10 years ago. They believe that part of the problem is that we grew up idealizing marriage—and that if we’d had a more realistic understanding of its cold, hard benefits, we might have done things differently. Instead, we grew up thinking that marriage meant feeling some kind of divine spark, and so we walked away from uninspiring relationships that might have made us happy in the context of a family.

I don't get why men are so threatened by profiles. If you don't like what you read, than move on! Easy. I was very choosy about who I date. I think most people should be. I have high standards. Those that don't like it can get over it.
SarcasticBlonde Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 women to be nice spend a few minutes replying to every ass who mails them. ain't much time for the rest of em. Yeah screw that. If I didn't respond I'm not interested. That's it. And there were men I emailed that didn't write back. I didn't take it personally. That's life. I got a kick out of it when some loser would call me a bitch for not responding to his email..lol

Because, IRC just doesn't get it. He doesn't WANT to move on. He feels his options are so limited in his area, that these women should "come to their senses" and realize he's their dream man. He can't accept that there's women out there that have demands that don't fit his offering. He thinks they should just be interested in him and lower their standards just because they're old/not as attractive/been online dating for a long time. He thinks it's THEM who should change, instead of looking in the mirror and asking himself what can HE bring to a relationship. Just do a search on his past threads and read them. You'll get the idea.
Author irc333 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Read the article by Dr. Gottlieb, not sure if you checked it out, she is suggesting that some of these overly picky women should change if they chronically single. She points out how women are significantly overly picky when dating, but some women do come to an age (usually in their 40's or maybe 50's) where they realized that they were being silly in wanting that 6 feet tall guy or the guy with the full head of hair, and decided to date the guy that was nice to them all these years, and marry him 1 or 2 divorces later, like she should have. I have what I can offer in a relationship, but depends on the woman, just like lock and key, have to keep looking until I find a woman that fits that piece of the puzzle.

Leeway Harris Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Back to the topic of this thread: Based on my observations of POF and OKC, I'm convinced that there's a small minority of men on every dating site who write every single woman within fifty miles. Literally every single one. This strategy is known as "throwing a handfull of crap against the wall to see what it sticks to." These men, and these men alone, aside from driving women away from the site, are the reason that men get so few responses from women they write to. Think about it. It makes perfect sense. They should try limiting users to three initial contacts per day and see what happens. I bet the quality of conversation would go way up in a hurry.
Author irc333 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Well, online dating is pretty much a numbers game.

Leeway Harris Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Well, online dating is pretty much a numbers game. So? You're supposed to read the profiles and write to the women you're especially attracted to, or you think you might have something in common with. If you write to every last woman in your area, you're not really respecting the process. You're basically just messing up the experience for other people. And what are you saying to the women with an approach like this? You're saying "I'm putting out a cattle call for girlfriends. Pretty much anyone will do. Any takers?" When you think about it that way, it's not surprising that so few women respond.

And what are you saying to the women with an approach like this? You're saying "I'm putting out a cattle call for girlfriends. Pretty much anyone will do. Any takers?" When you think about it that way, it's not surprising that so few women respond. I always take the time to write thoughtful unique emails to women on dating sites. But, considering my response rate is about 3 for every 20 emails sent (on average, I'm currently on an 0/10 streak), I can't say it's not tempting to write out mass emails (it certainly takes less time). I won't do this of course, but I can see where someone might think it was a good idea.
Author irc333 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Well, most profiles I've seen are the typical profile, "I like to do new things, meet new people, I like to go dancing, love to laugh" "looking for a guy who knows what he's wants, stable, has it together, etc" Sometimes those same things are put into more complete sentences (I just made the list here for the post), and their profile is typically a couple of paragraphs. They're typically well written profiles that look the same as every other profile....so I figure an initial email would equate to the profile itself, and I would just bank everything in the actual correspondence. I usually put all my stock in the back and forth email correspondence. My intial emails are well written and do point out the parts of her profile. Like she if she just says, "I like the outdoors" I would mention that I do as well, and I would ask what particular activities in the outdoros that she enjoys, kayaking? Hiking? Even the park venues in the area that she likes to get out too. I would say, "I like Mr. Smith State Park, they have a nice long nature trail there , and part of the area is on an island that you take a ferry to, so you can enjoy the lake scenery as you make your way to the hiking venue." I ask probing and intuitive questions to help them say more about themselves in their profile. I pretty much send emails in the same fashion tailoring them, but ..it's still a numbers game. So? You're supposed to read the profiles and write to the women you're especially attracted to, or you think you might have something in common with.

I have what I can offer in a relationship, but depends on the woman, just like lock and key, have to keep looking until I find a woman that fits that piece of the puzzle. First off, it's not yours, or any author's decision to tell other people how to live their lives. Women being overly picky is an OPINION of yours, not fact, and if they want to live their dating life by certain standards then it's not your place or anyone elses to judge or tell them how to do so. Secondly, you SAY you have to keep looking, but you aren't, you're dwelling. If a woman rejects you through no response, you need the emotional support of others to discredit the person who rejected you. You need others to agree that the other woman is unreasonable and should change. You can't control other people, you say you move on, so why don't you? Why post threads like this that clearly show how bothered you are? Well, online dating is pretty much a numbers game. Wrong. I had that mentality, and all it lead me to was a lot of bad dating experiences. If you focus on people who are a good fit for you, be more selective, there's a chance your experiences will be more successful. But hey, why fix yourself? Why change what YOU can do? You have this forum to try and bash the women who reject you. Based on your threads, it's no secret why you can't land a date and these women admit to your face that you're creepy.

I know this isn't directed towards me, but, I do believe that online dating is "a bit" of a numbers game. Just like dating in general. I only email women with whom I have something in common and it looks like we would get along. And I always write a well thought out unique email, checking all my spelling and grammar. My response rate is still pretty horrible though. I'm not necessarily coming to anyone's defense if they are generally negative towards people, but I will say it's not always a matter of picking the right person to email.

Part of it is timing as well. Optimally, you want to reach out to a lot of women that are potential good fits...but that doesn't mean every woman is a potential good fit. If you're going to go the route of emailing a lot of women, you have to take a step back and understand that 1.) you're going to see a lot of rejection and 2.) you're going to come across a lot of women that are not a good fit for you. If you're a fan of baseball, try to look at it like this: I realize it's easy to look at it as a numbers game and think you're batting a buck fifteen and think you're striking out a lot. But sometimes it's better to have more discipline at the plate and have a better pitch selection. Dating didn't favor me when I was just trying to make contact and put the ball in play. I was much more successful when I sat on and waited for a fastball down the middle, then I swung for the fences....it only takes one pitch to hit it out of the park, but you get to choose which pitches to swing at. If you chase garbage breaking balls in the dirt then you're going to strikeout a lot, be a little more selective, find a pitch you can hit, and make solid contact.

Yeah I completely understand what you're talking about. I don't send messages to a million different women. I do think I'm fairly selective. I just looked at my email, and I'm 5 for my last 27. And all of those women except one had several things in common with me (both specific things and general things) and seemed like they would be a good fit for me. I think I just have bad luck. My main point was that you can't message one person every 6 months and expect it to work.
Author irc333 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I'm just like this guy, and I agree, it's not about picking the "right" person to email. I have picked women with the same exact lifestyle, morals, beliefs, and hobbies, it was like pretty much a mirror match, with still no response. I had someone even even had an answer for that, "Oh, you were probably TOO much alike" lol Some people have an answer for everything You don't know how "lousy" a date they can be, until you've actually met them and spent some one-on-one, face-to-face time with them. I as this though....I think Gottlieb is right, it was pretty much an "A HA" moment when I saw how her, a woman, who even admittedly said she was just like these overly picky/shallow women...who straightened up her act, and is suggesting that that these women get it together and not be so silly in their expectations. I mean explain why there are so many single and unhappy women and there are no "good men? Why do many men that the women DO choose, want to remain single and continiue to play the field? WHy is it our older generation were easily finding love, not play games, and not find reasons to not date someone or not bail at the least sign of an arguement or trouble? While the younger generations seems to divorce constantly, and remain overly picky? Most of these women tend to eventually complain about "Why can't I find a decent guy", well, the reason is staring them int he face, even their own friends and family members call them overly picky...and yoU KNOW when your friends and family see it, then it's obvious THAT person needs to change, esp, if she's complaining about it. I know this isn't directed towards me, but, I do believe that online dating is "a bit" of a numbers game. Just like dating in general.

GivenUp0083 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I'm just like this guy, and I agree, it's not about picking the "right" person to email. We already know you aren't, he probably emailed 27 out of a potentiall 500. You have admitted you live in a rural/small population area so you probably email 27 out of 35 I have picked women with the same exact lifestyle, morals, beliefs, and hobbies, it was like pretty much a mirror match, with still no response. I had someone even even had an answer for that, "Oh, you were probably TOO much alike" lol Some people have an answer for everything I know what you're saying, but it's not always about just having commonalities, and don't listen to what people say in regard to "singled out situations". They say thinks like you were too alike because they don't know what to say and want to help you feel better. What you should be saying to yourself is this: It doesn't matter why she wasn't interested, it just matters that she's not interested and I don't want to waste my time being with someone who isn't that into me. You don't know how "lousy" a date they can be, until you've actually met them and spent some one-on-one, face-to-face time with them. There's some truth to this, but I know I'm someone who wants to be with a girl that is active and enjoys sports. I have a strong passion for watching and playing sports. If I couldn't share some sort of sport or activity with my SO then I'd try to convince them to do so and I've learned that's not the right approach. They have to already like sports and already be active. I as this though....I think Gottlieb is right, it was pretty much an "A HA" moment when I saw how her, a woman, who even admittedly said she was just like these overly picky/shallow women...who straightened up her act, and is suggesting that that these women get it together and not be so silly in their expectations. I mean explain why there are so many single and unhappy women and there are no "good men? Why do many men that the women DO choose, want to remain single and continiue to play the field? That's just one person's opinion based on their own experiences. That doesn't mean every girl that you've seen on the website who is still single after a year has too high of expecations. It just means she could very well be comfortable as a single woman and happy with her life, and she hasn't found someone who compliments her yet or has caught her attention. Maybe she hasn't found a guy she thinks she's compatible with. You don't seem to get it. Not everyone feels the desperation for a relationship and/or marriage that you do. I was single 4 years, 2 of those years I was content and happy being single. Then I realized I wanted to share my life with someone and then I found them after 2 more years of searching for the right girl. I could've settled for someone I wasn't that into, but I held true to myself and I found the perfect girl for me. If I had just SETTLED after 1 year and said "well, it's been a year, guess I just better take what I can get to this point" then I would not be as happy as I am today. WHy is it our older generation were easily finding love, not play games, and not find reasons to not date someone or not bail at the least sign of an arguement or trouble? While the younger generations seems to divorce constantly, and remain overly picky? Older generations found a FALSE or EMPTY love. Generations ahead of us got married to their first boyfriend/girlfriend. They married out of high school because that's what other people did. You are making a claim that in a country with over a 50% divorce rate found real love in earlier generations? Get out of here man. Everyone generations before us all got married for the wrong reasons. Why do you think they complain about it so much? Most of these women tend to eventually complain about "Why can't I find a decent guy", well, the reason is staring them int he face, even their own friends and family members call them overly picky...and yoU KNOW when your friends and family see it, then it's obvious THAT person needs to change, esp, if she's complaining about it. You know what people should change? Those who point the finger at women being too picky as their scapegoat for not being able to land a date. Maybe you should get over the fact that you are too dependent on the idea of having someone to make YOU happy, instead of changing yourself and improving your life to make YOURSELF happy first. One of the best questions someone ever asked me: If you aren't already happy with yourself, how can you expect to make someone else happy? I'm done with you IRC, you're ignorant, blind, and borderline retarded. I equivilate you to a dog that chases it's own tail then wimpers when he catches it. Your crying is annoying and overplayed. Instead of trying to change women and point the finger at how overly picky they are, work on yourself dude. You're a sad excuse for a man and even women tell you to your face you're a creep and they would never introduce you to their friends. Good luck with your sad life. Do something about yourself man, you can't change other people.
Author irc333 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Thing with you is, Given Up, you seem to have an answer for everything. You've gotten to the point where you're talking in circles or providing some kind of circular logic to explain things to the point it almost sounds like you're talking in riddles or not even making any sense. Sure you can't win them all, but this is the online dating realm, and I am actually having more success in the real world than in the online dating arena. I'm just stating the facts of online dating. I just have to say you're in the deep minority as far as your success in online dating, that's for sure. You know what people should change? Those who point the finger at women being too picky as their scapegoat for not being able to land a date.

Imajerk17 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Not to pile on dude, but I agree with GivenUp. You do an awful lot of whining on here. That is NOT attractive to women. I have a hard time believing you're near 40. The idea is that we are way past that sort of thing by that age. If online dating doesn't work for you, then just don't do it. If you want online dating to work better for you, then at least ask people for some constructive criticism. Such as to critique your emails. I'll be a *ahem*, nice guy and give you a suggestion RE your first emails: They are too long and have too much information. Wait at least until she writes back before you tell her so much about your hiking and camping. I'm sure your profile needs work too.
MarlyStar Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Based on my observations of POF and OKC, I'm convinced that there's a small minority of men on every dating site who write every single woman within fifty miles. I think it's more than a small minority. Two days ago I put up my first profile with 4 pictures. I then went through and read the profiles of men in my search group and sent out 19 emails and 24 winks. I have gotten 28 emails back, been viewed 167 times, and gotten god knows how many winks. If you are separated, outside my age range (49-59), or outside of the area I've selected, I blocked and deleted them without answering. I don't want a 65 year old man. I don't want a long distance relationship. I don't want a 36 year old. I deleted all the ones that mention sex or 'needs' or got too personal about looks without comment and blocked them. There were a number of them that were clearly form emails (one guy even forgot to fill in the blank). 5 of my emails haven't been read yet (although the guys have been online within the last 24 hours). One guy emailed before my pictures were approved and asked why I was emailing him since he'd said he wouldn't respond to people without pictures, but he'd give me the benefit of doubt, but it wasn't fair for me to email if I wasn't serious about this. I sent off an email that I'd only been online for an hour and they were still being approved but should be up shortly. It's been two days and I haven't heard from him since, which I can't say I regret, because I don't know he was all that nice. Guy #2 answered my email. And I returned an email with about 2 paragraphs. He read it yesterday afternoon, but hasn't answered. Guy#3 Responded to my email. I responded. He responded again. I responded. He responded. It's my turn. I don't know if I'm going to respond. His emails are dull, short and give me nothing to 'hook into'. I don't know what to say. And by his picture he's a bit pudgy, which wouldn't automatically turn me off (I did initiate the first contact), but isn't inspiring. I look at his picture, read his rather sparse profile and am not inspired. Guy#4 emailed me although I didn't email him. It was just a Hi I hope you have a nice day. I emailed back, I hope you do too, my day went fast. He emailed a one liner that was funny re something in my profile. I emailed back about something in his profile. He emailed me twice today to tell me he hopes I have a good Tuesday, and then a one liner about a shared activity (Wow, I've been doing that activity for the last 3 years--just that nothing more). It's my turn again. But again, altho he's more interesting than guy 3, he's not giving me much to work with. I'll probably email him back, but I have to scrape up something to say. This should flow a bit better. It can't be so much work. (as I was writing this post, he emailed again: "How do you like me now?" Huh? I think he's on the chopping block. He's emailed me 3 times today with nothing really to say and this last one is bizarre). Guy#5 was interesting and in a couple emails we built up interest and rapport. Then he said he was in a long term relationship so we'd have to be discreet. Delete/block/no comment. Guy#6 got challenging/argumentative trying to legalistically define a word in my profile. Who needs that? Ignore/delete/block. Guy#7 just said Hi. Again, what am I supposed to do with that. I liked his picture and his profile wasn't offensive. So I said Hi back. Now he knows I'm interested. He wrote back Hi again. So I said "I said Hi, you said Hi, now where do we go from here. I'm new at this." He said, "We can criticize each others' profiles. I'm pretty laid back too, so I think we'd get along well." Huh? Ignore/block/delete. Guy#8 just said, "What's your number?" Guy#9 went into a long explanation about all his travels and living on a boat and it didn't seem to have anything to do with me. I think he sends it out to everyone. He's a yacht broker and trying to impress with his wealth. I've traveled a lot too and could have found something to start a conversation with, but I just had the feeling he sent it without reading my profile, and he looked a lot older than his stated age, he looked easily 65 years old, so I deleted and blocked him. Something I just didn't like. Guy#10 went on and on about new age stuff. Fine, but not my thing. Guy#11 talked about how he was retiring and wanted someone to travel with him extensively. I have to work. We aren't a match. Guy#12 I winked at him, he emailed me a one liner saying something in my profile was funny. I looked at his profile and saw something I could tell a funny short story about and emailed him back a few hours ago. He's the only one who's responded I'm actually very interested in. The others 7 I emailed have not replied although they've read my email. So they either aren't interested or they are taking their time to reply (is that common?). So I reached out to 29 guys and have one that interests me that I interest and one (the dull guy) I'm not really interested in but who's interested in me.
Author irc333 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Wait at least until she writes back before you tell her so much about your hiking and camping Been there done that, didn't work. Sorry <shrug> That was because someone already made a suggestion by saying, "You're description of your hobbies are too short, elaborate a bit more on what kind of hobbies you partake in". Seems everytime I take a suggestion, and if it didn't work someone else would COUNTER it. LOL It's kind of funny really. You do an awful lot of whining on here. That is NOT attractive to women. That's the beauty of this message board.....this isn't my target audience. Edited March 9, 2011 by irc333

So they either aren't interested or they are taking their time to reply (is that common?). Not sure what's common. I don't always reply the same day that I read a message (especially if it's late in the evening and I'm tired or had a few to drink - neither of which make me the best communicator), and if I read it from my phone when I was out and about it isn't always easy to reply straight away; I prefer to type on a proper keyboard since I'll be typing more than just 'hi'. I get most of my replies at the weekend regardless of when I send them or when they are first read.

Author irc333 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Welcome to the Internet. lol So true. I remember watching this movie with Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt in it. He wound being stuck involved in some kind of Secret Agent operation, and he had this crush on a museum curator....and they put some ear bud in his ear, and had like 10 diff. people trying to walk him through making a move on her. Each one was like "No, don't do that....do this...." and another person would say, "No , dude, don't do that, that' lame, give her flowers" "no no...flowers are lame, women LOVE candy, get her candy!!" and so on and so on, drove him batty.
