Yep. We have to be able to make those distinctions.

Also, in the real world, a man would probably never send a picture of his dick to a woman.

The best thing is when she sends you dick pics, but not many are cultured and sophisticated enough to understand the beauty of this.

Check the comments, men and lesbian women are the unhappiest with this change.


I actually think it's a good change for men ultimately.



Not really; they did it for the women.

Now thoughtful intro messages have zero value, only the messages from the very handsome men will be noticed.

What boo said. If your ugly or just not really handsome or take good photos you never be seen now.
What I don’t get is how will their business model of getting men to pay continue or are they planning in making all their money from advertising towards women? Certainly this will drive most men away eventually and it’s mostly men who’ll pay them for their services. Most dating sites work this way it’s why there’s so many fake women profiles to attract men. They really should make fake meal profiles to attract women and evennip the gender ratio though. This seems like a stupid solution to dick pictures would only had to be banning accounts that send dick pictures


:o Do you guys pay to be on these sites?

I don't see the benefit of just photos for women either with the exception of those women who are just on there to flirt or wind people up. It would be no help to one looking for a relationship.


I don’t but I also don’t get to see who liked me or be in the priority list for matching or what not. I’ve heard from women that they don’t have to pay to see who liked them.
Most dating sites are this way they make their money off men mostly. There’s more men on dating sites then women so makes sense to target men. It’s also in their best interest to never match anyone cause if guys get into relationships they won’t be on dating sites paying to find a gf

Just out of curiosity, who said those things? You're not horrible and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be in a relationship.

I don't understand why you don't know if you should reply. Isn't the logical solution replying to people who show interest? Where will you get to if you don't reply to anyone?

Cronos did and then you and few others agreed with it. People I thought were kinda friends but clearly aren’t.

Not if by getting into a relationship I’d be harming some woman. I don’t want to hurt anyone

Yes that would be right. Happy people aren't such good customers.

But what they saying is just me being in a relationship would be harming the girl I guess. Because my area and experience is different and doesn’t mesh with their ideas.
So i dont know

Likewise with medical care and therapy. It’s why we never have cure for cancer. Imagine if they could cure cancer. The companies would lose billions from cancer therapy.

End of the day they’re business and they want to keep making money. Some doctors and nurses want to help people, but the hospital is all about making money and lots of it.

There are some cancers that are curable.

Once a person is in remission from cancer for five years, the person is considered "cured."

Pretty sure I didn’t agree with either of those things.

Our health care is free, it's run by the government and it spends billions of £ on cancer every year so it is definitely after cures.
It's very true in things like the food industry though, the same companies own the diet foods and the snack foods.

There's a whole list of male politicians who have gotten into trouble for doing this, often to random women.

Yes, those who develop relationship via dating sites are still a minority.

It's not so much hospitals that don't want to help people but pharma industry. Pharma industry is simply business, because developing a new drug and having it licensed is very expensive.
That's the reason why there are no drugs for some very rare diseases, or why not many new antibiotics are developed while the old ones still work well enough for most pathogenic bacteria.

Cancer is a different story. Cancer research is huge actually. Lots of new treatments are being developed, many of them quite promising but many not licensed yet. Some cancers are curable. In old patients doctors sometimes choose not to cure a curable cancer but only delay it, because with the delay they can be almost sure that something else will kill the patient before the cancer gets too much of a problem.
Getting new cancer treatments licensed is tedious. A drug needs to be sufficiently tested on patients before it is licensed. As cancer is a deadly illness, you mustn't test new therapies on people who could survive with already licensed ones. Therefore you can only test them on people who would almost certainly die with the current drugs. That slows it down.

... that's actually off topic, but whatever
