Tayken Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 True, but IMO, guys who are just looking to hook-up are pretty much about numbers, "flavor of the week", or keeping it down to one or two encounters cuz they believe that's the best way to avoid the woman getting attached and they want to see a variety of women. I also think some love the thrill of the chase. Perhaps..I however do NOT belong that niche' of people. I know what I have to offer, and whilst I might do some initial "chase", it should NOT be taken for granted / abused. I am able to turn off the initial attraction like a switch based on the actions of the other party. It's as simple as that
Kid_Charlemange Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I agree with you ^^, but IMO, the issue with OLD is not that these guys are looking to make a connection with women (a RL), they are looking to get-off - in other words a hook-up (or maybe as many hook-ups they can get before the chick figures out what's up). That's a pretty broad statement, and not very accurate. Michael Fiore repeats this a lot: Men on OLD sites are looking for sex, but they are not necessarily only looking for sex. That is, most are open to an LTR. Few are open to an LTR before they have sex. Which to me, makes sense: Why would I consider getting into a serious relationship with someone before I knew we were sexually compatible?

So let me understand this, sexual compatibility is the main yardstick for determining LTR? Hmmmmmm

Targetlock Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 i thought so but now not so sure to be honest when i'm ready i may give it another shot see what happens i guess.
Mister Zen Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Finding love online is possible, but not probable.
Kid_Charlemange Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Finding love online is possible, but not probable. One might argue that "finding love" isn't probable for any of us. However, according to a study published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," more than a third of recently married people from 2005-2012 met online. Full details can be found here.
LoneIsland Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Finding love online is possible, but not probable. It's both possible and probable if you can accept the oddballs. I found plenty of them online.
