JJCaliGirl Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Same thing goes for us women. I'm actually thinking of giving up on it for a few months while I do some soul searching. 1
yxalitis Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Check my profile picture. It's OK, I'll wait here... OK, so, I have met and had relationships with younger, sexy Asian woman exactly my cup of tea. What do I do? Persist Oh, being able to cobble two words together without inserting an emoticon or acronym helps I guess... 1

Are you kidding? The men are absolute pigs!!! What do the women typically say in their profiles? The men seem to all be using the same script. It's astonishing how many of them hike, windsurf, kayak, etc. The rivers and hiking trails should be packed! And, let's not forget, they wake up each and every day wondering how they can touch the lives of others. Makes me want to gag. You know they're no where near as romantic, exciting, and golden-hearted as they claim or their wives would have kept them. Can't people just be honest? "Attentive, at least until I can get you to blow me, after which you can make me a sandwich. {fart}" 5
neowulf Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Generalisations are general. There are all kinds of people in online dating. I've met some lovely women, even dated a few of them. People are constantly looking for something else, someone else to blame for the problems in their lives. 2

Author mongo Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 You need to learn to adapt OP. adapt to what?
neowulf Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Mongo.. you sound bitter and angry. Would you date an angry and bitter person? If no, what kind of person would you date? Maybe you could try.. being more like that person. You find what you put out there man. If you're angry and bitter at the world, you push people away. Not saying you don't have reasons to feel angry and bitter. Just saying you need to move past them. 4
jay1983 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 adapt to what? What online dating is really all about and what you can use it for. 2

Are you kidding me? I was checking this one profile for the heck of it. The dude is unemployed, is 5'1", disabled and uses a wheelchair, and in the pic ii couldn't quite tell but may have had a whi there'd arm. What did he require? Only 2 things: 1. An extremely hot woman 2. Must accept him for who he is. So he doesn't want to be judged based on appearances, but...?! Edited July 9, 2015 by DaisyBug

So pucker up for the 'gag' ladies, because it's what you asked for.

Ev.er.y.one. is entitled to their preferences. Period. If you're not someone's cup of tea, then you're not and all the whining in the world isn't going to change that. But you're not a nice guy if you're name calling and have an over inflated sense of entitlement to have what you want, dash what the woman wants. They didn't want you--or your message went to their filtered file and they haven't read it. It beez like that sometimes. Christ! I send out messages to men who are no where near being a 10 and they ignore me. That's fine. We probably would not have gotten along anyway and when they do eventually come around after swimming out of their depth and having a limb bitten off by a giant squid, I'm going to pass on them, too. 6

No one new wants to hear about them except your therapist or friends.

So pucker up for the 'gag' ladies, because it's what you asked for. There was one profile that was exceptionally honest. He wasn't my type, too macho & different views, but I had to drop him a note just to compliment him on it. Said he wasn't in shape and was comfortable with that, isn't trying to change the world, etc. I thought it was so refreshing.
Toodaloo Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Mongo I have recently been chatting to a guy that looks like Daniel Criag... he could be his double only taller. he has a very good job, home that is paid off, car that is paid off, no baggage at all. That guy is having problems with online dating too! But he is not bitter when he doesn't get a response, he is not stressing about it or worried about it, just a bit glum. I have sent messages, I have responded. I take time to actually read profiles before I look at pictures. Doesn't matter how hot they are if they live too far away, appear in any way bitter or moody or angry, if they don't have a job then they get moved to the discard pile regardless of how they look. I have a date tonight. He seems fab and I am hopeful. However I also know that I will probably wake up tomorrow still single and still looking. While I hope it goes well I am fully aware that it probably will not. Put your feet back on the ground. Why do you care so much what random strangers think of you anyway? Personally I am more worried about what the people who know me think of me. 4
Lois_Griffin Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 ive just spent all day messaging. not a single dammed reply. you women seriously have nothing to complain about. if youre a man and youre not channing tatum youre worthless in OLD world. Well, you don't have to be Channing Tatum to get a reply, but if you look like you belong up in a bell tower or under a bridge somewhere, you're probably not going to get the replies you want. I'm sure I'm considerably older than you, but back when I was online dating, 98% of the men in my demographic were just hideous. HIDEOUS. I called it The Parade of the Damned. And almost ALL of them had described themselves in their profiles as 'attractive.' Now, I don't know who lied to them (aside from their mothers) and told them that, but they were sadly mistaken. I wasn't hunting for a 10 and I usually avoid overly good-looking men at all costs, but I sure wasn't looking to date Uncle Fester, either. 2
empresario Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I get that you need to rant for a while, but I suggest a moderator locks this before it gets ugly. I am a decent looking guy...but by no means a traditional '10'. I get 20-25% response rates. It's all in the approach. Believe it or not, acting genuine and intelligent does get you noticed and gets responses from women looking for something like that. I've gotten several women "out of my league" (traditionally) because I won them over that way. It's alright, you're frustrated. Stop blaming everything else and try to adapt yourself. Or at least ask a question that we can answer on here. 2
d0nnivain Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 OK Mongo, OLD isn't working for you. Boo hoo. It doesn't work for a lot of people. I hated it. If you really want a relationship what are you doing besides sitting in front of your computer lamenting that you don't have a relationship? 2
40 Fonzarelli Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Just use it as a supplement. I prefer real life interactions. I use OLD to kill time when i'm bored. You just never know. 1

It's funny, i clearly stated in a profile that I was only interested in men in my area, but some dude from out of state wrote me anyway. When I politely told him I didn't see a match, he did not take it well, and I know that has happened to other women as well. That is why many women don't respond. Edited July 9, 2015 by DaisyBug 2
2011 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Same thing goes for us women. I'm actually thinking of giving up on it for a few months while I do some soul searching. Seriously it can't be. I know many women who seem to have loads of guys hitting on them. All they do is pick the one they want. With guys it's the total opposite.
