I found this in another thread today. Thought it might do some good here. This is the major flaw in online dating. I have thought this for some time now and think it should be remedied.

lets hope getting laid doesn't go virtual, that would really f**king suck. I can see it a huge jump in guys killing themselves with virtual vaginas and electricity. it would be an epidemic.

Think women don't read the men's section, I just got a crazy message from a rabid lesbian saying she hoped all men would die. Anyone up for nuking her inbox with some pics of whatever may come to mind????
Can I get banned from dh for suggesting this to begin with? Screw it I'll make another profile.

Most women get dozens of hits and can be choosy, I hardly ever get any.
I never get any messages either (well almost none) but I'm a lunatic. Why not you? You seem sane. Or are you just as crazy as me but hiding it?

Honestly I think it's because I'm too short. I've actually had women tell me that. I wonder how they would feel if I told them they were too fat.
At least you can tell them that you can wear cowboy boots with heels and that in the prone position height is irrelevant.
In my case there is no solution.

Best of luck bro
PS: you're right that telling them they are too fat would be unkind and improper.

Too short, yes I been told that, too fat, too ugly, to immature , nothing incommon, the list just goes on and on. The one I like is "not a match" when we have never talked or they have not even looked at my profile, it just means to me that they think they are so much better looking than they think I am. So they really are right "not a match"! But for a different reason.

I believe that our dating expectations have been ruined by Hollywood. We go to the movies or turn on the television, and we see all these beautiful people. Then we expect the people we meet in real life to look that good. Unfortunately less than ten percent of the people we meet in real life look as good as the people in the media.
Expectations for first dates run too high as well. People expect all of their dates to be Hollywood moments like they see in the movies, but on real dates the dinner isn't always perfect, or sometimes the conversation isn't so good, or it feels awkward. This is life and you need to give people a second or third chance.
My advice for men: you need to send emails to women around two years younger than you who don't look like super models, and then you will probably be able to find some dates. And my advice for women: you need to be willing to give a chance to men who are a little shorter and a little poorer and a little less good looking than your ideal.
The majority of the negative reviews are written by men, and this unfortunately reflects the nature of the offline dating world. Dating is harder for men than women because there is a shortage of women. But wait, aren't there an equal number of men and women? Nope. For starters, there are 105 boy babies born for every 100 girl babies. Furthermore, the situation is far worse than that for men in their twenties.
Because of poaching of younger women by successful older men, and a slightly greater percent of women than men desiring to take time off from dating, the webmaster estimates that the are probably 120 single men in their twenties for every 100 single women in their twenties.
Because of this real world unbalanced ratio, we see that there are around 150 female profiles for every 100 male profiles on online dating services such as Match.com (which is where I tested the theory).

If you're just an average Joe, living a quiet "nice guy" lifestyle with nothing exotic at all going on, then you won't have much luck.
It isn't all about looks or money.. that is an advantage and can be a big part of it, but your lifestyle is key. These women are bored, they want fun and exciting men who do fun and exciting things. Not bike rides and walks in the park or picnics or dinners/lunches.
They want rock concerts, summer vacations out of town, motorcycle rides, camping trips to far away locales. The last thing they want is some "everyman" to do the same thing every weekend and I'm sorry if that is you. All I can say is you need to "get a life" or learn to pick up women in person, or accept the reality of the world today which is "average men get average women and the average woman today is fat". Blame it on our culture and society.
The selection of truly hot women are quite honestly beyond most men, myself included. At best you'll get an average looking woman, at worst a hog. Most are honest about themselves but the older they get, the more delusional about their chances of finding "Mr. Perfect" they become and the more wealth becomes a key factor.

I also find that for a lot of people, it is easier to lie online and pretend.
Your going to meet someone someday.... So why lie and pretend to be something you're not?

Thanks to such desperation, the women’s egos will be fed to the point of explosion. It no longer matters what the woman looks like (despite the fact that photos are everything on Dating Sites).
It won’t be long that the woman genuinely believes she really is this beautiful, stunning creature that she is being told she is every day by the overflow of males.
Her ego will shoot to the roof and, as she is able to take her pick of any man on the site, the list of demands will become more and more unrealistic;
Any confidence which she possessed will immediately turn into arrogance and, suddenly, no man on the site is good enough, even the ones who are actually genuine; they find themselves falling into the same category as the desperadoes and creeps.
This self-delusion soon creates bitterness and frustration in ALL of the men, who cannot understand how they are constantly rejected in such a rude manner by women they wouldn’t give a second glance to in the real world.
They are usually completely ignored or receive a “You’re not my type” response to their well-planned message.
Personally, I find this type of arrogance mind-blowingly funny.
Yet, despite the dismissive arrogance of the woman, her rejection was not with the intent to be cruel, but simply because she was probably so overwhelmed with messages that she only had one minute to spare typing a response before returning to the other 100 messages in her inbox.
Besides – if she is receiving messages from the ‘cream of the crop’, she can take her pick and anyone not meeting the absolute requirement, sadly, has to go.
The problem with dating sites, as appears to be the problem with internet dating in general, is that people’s expectations are far too high.
The truth is, everyone is riddled with flaws and we should take the bad with the good, or not at all.
To create a list of what a man/woman should be and shouldn’t be is preposterous, not to mention downright hilarious.
Similarly, there are a great deal of men and women on the site who completely contradict themselves.
For example: ”I am a down to earth, intelligent person looking for similar. I have an excellent sense of humor” (even though there is nothing in the profile to suggest this).
“I am open to most people for I believe that looks get boring after a while” (They then go on to state ‘No fat/short/etc men/women)."
Meeting someone off dating sites can be similarly grueling. When someone finally gets lucky enough to bring things into reality, it is not uncommon for the following to occur:
• People are usually ten stone heavier than their pictures.
• People are usually ten years older than their pictures.
• People are usually not the person in their pictures. (This is something I have difficulty understanding.
If you are going to meet the person outside of the internet, wouldn’t it make sense to let them know who you really are? After all, they’re going to find out anyway.)
- Obese 18 – 30 year old's in skimpy clothes, pulling provocative, pouting poses and stating they need a ‘real man.
- Defiant single mothers with pictures of themselves and their kids, claiming that the kids come first.
- Women with their breasts out in their profile pictures.
- Average-looking women who will have a long list of their likes/dislikes, needs and wants.
In reality, no matter how sweet, romantic and sensitive the man messaging them is, if he isn’t harboring the same devilishly handsome looks as the majority of Hollywood actors she move on to the next profile. Oh, this cruel, shallow world.

Do you actually believe the shit you throw out? Medical and pcychatric studies show the majority of the women of the world have very little to no self esteem yet you want us to believe that errogance and ego are running rampid?
If so I'd still like proof. And if your statements are fact which I highly doubt then it would basically be the same for guys. We have way less issue with personal self value and body imagine than chicks.
Dating sites..... this is how dating sites are///
Google and do your own research.....

I concur. It can be frustrating especially for men in certain predicament (such as single dads&others) nevertheless one shouldn't let it affect you to the point of becoming bitter. It serves no purpose: go out there dancing, go to a bar then you'll realize the world doesn't stop @ dh. That's what I do though time is a real luxury to me. If I can do it so can u.

The women who have religious screen names. Then go on to describe how Christ like they are and is looking for the same.
However: They want a man who is "financially secure", business oriented etc etc. Religious but looking for a "sugar daddy" as so many of them are. In their 50's or 60's and have "never married" and "never had children".
post the usual sh*t like how they looking for some nice sweet guy to sweep them off their feet. Then they go on about the honesty and faithful crap.
Oh and of course, a lot of them will say how personality matters more than looks. what a crock of bull....

Women on DH.- Not all but an over riding majority
Many of the women who DH seem to be attention whor**es at worst, or time wasters at best.
I’ve also noticed that several of them are in relationships but present themselves as ‘single’ on internet dating sites – just to see if better options are available – which explains their erratic/strange habits when it comes to reading/replying to messages, if they bother to reply at all.
In short, men should run like he**ll from DH: unless dishonesty, mind-games, and time-wasting are your kinds of things.
The woman on DH are obviously “attention wh*res”. These woman are obviously just trying to get attention and bragging rights to co-workers and friends about how many people messaged them.
Also you have to think about what kind of woman actually use these sites?? Woman with problems or a complete bit**ch. A really attractive and well rounded woman DOES not need a dating site to find men.
Some women on DH have men in their life they could go to at any given time. You also figure the ration of men to woman on that site is about 10:1. So your chances of meeting a woman on their are slim to none. Never do online dating If you’re a guy.
Many women list so much criteria, they are like children writing Santa Claus. hey are so unrealistic it is pathetic.
Many women emphasize that they are not one night stands. Well there are a lot of good male players out there that I am sure are connecting because they have all the desired criteria plus they are very articulate at strumming the right cords.
The good players jump through hoops to get laid and after one episode, it is no wonder they take off, after all they waited so long for this Pre-Madonna to deliver, they probably figure it was not worth it.
Then the woman goes back to the drawing board and puts up more criteria and the cycle goes on.
The funny thing is this type of woman does not like to be put in her place. But yet she is quick to judge men and justifies her bad choices by Condemning and blaming men.
Filled with Hatred and anger and generalizing all men of the world. But yet she still says in her profile she is looking for an honest man.
This type of woman will always be alone, constantly searching for companionship.
So its either the attention wh**ore or the female described above.

I totally agree with you. I think online dating sucks for men because so man women are very particular of what they want. There could so many good things about a person but they always look at the one thing that is wrong with you and base their thoughts on that. That's why so many women are still lonely.

Much bitterness I sense! I am old, short and not rich but I can get dates any time I choose. It takes confidence, a good profile and good messages. Most guys would rate my dates 8,9 or 10 so not the losers. Many contact me first because I have a well written and informative profile.
Quit complaining and put out some effort!

Since I'm not a salesman, prefer to be an individual, won't devote every moment I have to any woman that happens to come along, I doubt that much will change for me. For some guys, dating can be easy. If I were to do that, I'd end up throwing out most of what makes me, me.

Women usually break my door the f**k down. But im not looking for a relationship. I got one already. Im honest about who I am and what I do. Doing so gets me no play. Ill continue to be honest. Just know when they ask for honesty they just need a reason to scratch you off the list. Its crazy because im not on here to f**k. Sex is usually offered i dont beg. I just like the company and the conversations.

My features gets women to want me almost automatically. I get questioned by women instead of getting hit on. They are attracted to me but my problem is being honest. I could be getting laid at least three times a week. But I'm in a relationship.
Women have too many choices when it comes to dating. But still they choose a cheating dog or a guy that doesn't live the life he claims.
Its crazy because I am honest. They say I dont share my men. But in actuality they do. But they dont want to admit it. At least im letting them know.
I probably get rejected more than any of you. But I get way morw conversation. Because they want to know why.
