Funny you say that cause a few posts ago you were saying how nice me and the ladies on here are nice. I am a woman online.

 

 

who said the two things are mutually exclusive? You can be incredibly shallow in regards to dating standards and still be a wonderful person

 

 

but most of the ladies here are in their 30s and 40s though correct? Women in their 30s and 40s tend to be pretty reasonable. My comments are more about the women in their mid 20s

I didn't read this thread because OP started one the same a few days ago (plus several others under a different name previously) and I suspect it runs something like this:

 

everyone: maybe you could try x, y, z

 

OP

I did, I'm great at all those, plus I dress well, I bench-press xxx, make $xxx, and I'm getting better looking each day, just these shallow women cant see it, and it's not fair how easy women have it.....

 

Am I close?

OP is going to fail because he's not facially attractive enough to get the hot shallow chicks and comes across as too narcissistic for the average women that want serious relationships.

 

 

I would be okay with dating a 6 or a 7/10. I'm not going to lie - I'm HUGELY turned on by women who work out so a thicker athletic build is an extremely turn on but I suppose beggars can't be choosers right?

 

 

Personality and character is very important to me. I take pride in having impeccable character and treating people the right way

No actually there's been some really good info in this thread and a lot of excellent encouragement and feedback.

 

 

I'm going to try this online dating stuff. I suspect it will be a miserable crash and burn failure but so many wonderful ladies on this site are telling me to try, I have to at least try

Man I gotta tell you, the girl I'm talking to now showed me a message a dude sent and as a guy I was disgusted. I can't imagine how many women get the kind of crap this dude was sending.

 

OLD may be statistically against men as far as finding someone but we're not the one's wading through 100 messages a day and reading the garbage some of us are sending.

let me get this right, you're saying that if I give you a picture of mine that not only will women respond to my messages, they will actually message me first?

 

 

I just want to understand what i'm getting into

so you would rather have to send out a 1,000 messages for 1 reply than to go through say 10 messages to find 1 guy who is good looking/mature/classy/etc...?

 

 

That would be a tough choice for me. Something that requires maybe 10 hours of work for very little to no return or something that requires 2 minutes of work (just creating a profile and putting up a couple decent pics) for lots of return.

You are getting into nothing. I will post your profile here in Montreal and I will not send ANY message at all and I will wait for messages to come in.

BTW you know 4 or 5 women here have said that I'm very handsome?

 

 

The female posters on this site may be the nicest people I've ever come across ;)

I think this is a pointless experiment but I will say this, I will have a professional take pics of me in about a month and I will have you create a profile for me and help me with messaging women

 

 

In the very unlikely scenario that I actually get any dates, I'll send you a nice gift in the mail. Sounds good?

You don't want to do it because you know you will get responses and then you won't have anything to complain about anymore.

If I was actually anywhere near as great as you claim, you don't think I would have encountered some relatively easy dating opportunities in real life in the 26 years that I've been on this planet? I look way better in real life than pics, my fashion sense is impeccable, the social circle I hang out with and the places I go to are fantastic, I'm always going out and trying to meet people. I do everything I've been told to and the ladies want absolutely nothing to do with me. I've been out with ladies from my best friends' salon and they wanted nothing to do with me (we had a great time but they wouldn't date me in a million years). Think about that for a second - that's an incredibly easy opportunity given to me on a silver platter - I have a very easy in being the boss' best friend and they still wanted nothing to do with me.

 

 

 

Why would this online dating stuff be any different than real life?

Simple

 

If I post a profile with a picture and messages are coming in then the problem is not your look it's what comes out of your mouth, and it would explain why you have no success face to face. Make sense?

it makes sense but it's just not true. I have a 1000 times more confidence that if I actually got a date or two with women who were attracted to me, I would have a girlfriend in a heartbeat than I am that I will actually get a single person interested in me online.

 

 

You're saying my problem is the opposite of what I believe it is and i cannot agree with it. I'm gonna skype with you one of these days and you will see that there's nothing wrong with my personality.

"Why do men have to jump through flaming hoops to be even mildly successful in dating nowadays?

Women can post a horrible profile that makes them seem dumb and immature and get 50,000 men hitting on them if they're halfway decent looking."

 

"I look way better in real life than pics, my fashion sense is impeccable, the social circle I hang out with and the places I go to are fantastic, I'm always going out and trying to meet people.

Kinda sounds like what I predicted after all.

those comments are a little bit out of context

 

 

the important thing is that I will definitely try and I will use Gaeta as my personal assistant...and yes I will be sending her a gift if I succeed.

So I'm giving myself 8 weeks to get my ass in shape. I'm 200 right now, I will be 180 at end of 8 weeks. I should have abs and a very well defined face. I will have a professional take 3 pictures of me and will do online dating with Gaeta

 

 

She seems well educated and knowledgeable about this. Operation get me a girlfriend is underway
