I wanted to point out, even when I do engage in an email conversation, backand forth with a woman from a dating site.

 

When I get to the part about meeting face to face they either

 

1. Disappear

2. Stop responding

3. Be purposely elusive.

 

I had this one wack job, wouldn't even tell me her first name. Said she wanted to "play it safe".

 

Wierdo

 

 

The irony of this stranger paranoia is that most women are raped and killed by people they already know.

 

IMO a lot of women use stranger-danger as a cover for when they want to reject a guy but not have an uncomfortable scenario on her hands.

doesnt matter if its online. many females desire first date lays and or they will move on. myth: its just immature girls that do that but but women don't. fact: its many females of all maturity levels. females deny it but their dating tips will leave a guy freiend zoned forever.

 

You are right about female dating tips!!! Friend Zone almost every time if a man decides to listen and apply them.

What I find really amazing is that people still keep saying that I should try online dating.

 

One, I'm not that good looking so my picture isn't going to impress.

 

Two, I'm only 5'6 so women are going to take one look at that and close the page, unless I lie.

 

Three, I usually go after younger women, and I prefer to keep my age hidden until I feel I got a foothold with her. With OLD my age is out there in the open.

 

Four, online is hard for men in the first place even if they didn't have my issues.

I can't really speak to the rest of your issues (because I have them too), but the height thing is all in your head. The only women you are potentially going to scare off by being 5'6" (which honestly really isn't all that short, it's not like you're 4'11" or anything) are tall women, and even then probably a minority of tall women.

Also if you're basing your height fears on things you see posted on this board, keep in mind that the people on this board are not necessarily representative of the public at large. :D

I have to disagree. I've done online dating whenever I'm single on and off for years, and the number of women I've chatted to who have told me they wouldn't date anyone under 5'7" or 5'8" or 'must be taller than me in heels' is staggering. It hasn't affected me as I'm 5'11", but if I were 5 inches shorter I wouldn't rate my chances. Maybe online dating is the reserve of that minority of fussy women? Who knows. But online, height is a big deal.

Wow, this post was written 2 years ago. Yet gauging by most of the threads here, all the things forecasted in OP are now coming to fruition.
