THAT's your ideal woman?

It sounds almost like the opposite of what I'd expect you to like.

I know you're not into extremely right-winged women, but from what you say of the liberals you meet, I thought you were against the whole feminist SJW genderqueer odd-fetish bisexual women with hipster sunglasses and trendy brightly-dyed skrillex haircut modern nerd/geek types.

She's the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. I just wanted to give an example of the women in my area that use dating sites.

Great minds think alike then.

I can't stand these 'weirdos' myself, and that's putting it nicely.

Lucky for you, at least you're late 20s - those types of women pretty much sum up the millenial generation, which is what I'm more a part of than you are (regarding age).

You're approaching 30s and hopefully women change by then, I'm just about to enter that sh*t.

I'm a left-leaning centrist and can't relate to or stand most of the left myself.

Your average WP member's message:

Hi. I read your profile. That's a lot of stuff I have no interest in, but I do share your interest in ancient Japanese cuisine. Most of your opinions on the matter are false or from untrustworthy sources. Perhaps we could get coffee and I can give you the right information. Sometimes I forget what I'm doing, so I may forget the bus and may be late-- several hours in fact, just wait it out I'll eventually get it figured out.

P.S.-- you have a really healthy looking reproductive system. I never played baseball, so I have no idea what bases are used for, but tell me when you want me to touch it and I'll be more than happy to oblige if my inhaler is on-hand (my mom says I should always use it for strenuous activity or my asthma might flare up).

Hi

I just wanted to say if anyone took it as redicule I apologise as that was not the intention. I never wish for people to feel as if they are being made fun of I just wanted to help people who are online dating.

Again I'm sorry if this hurt anyone's feelings

I have been researching online dating for 6 months for a project, it is really an unhealthy place for men surprisingly. Many of the behaviours that are being discussed stem from the easy nature to disregard someone with no repercussions or awkwardness.
At the end of the day the only approach it seems is to be as you normally would. If you like a simple Hello how's it? Thats ok and if you like to write a long and thought through message thats ok too. Most will not respond to you maybe but this is simply because you do not know what type of person each is yet. The people who respond to you communicating as you feel comfortable though are the ones who you may just get along with.

Be respectful but always be yourself!

I signed up for Match and found that a number of the complaints are arguably the result of how the site is set up.

Old profile pic? Match will automatically pull a profile pic from your Facebook account.

Match is constantly pressuring me to send emails--even though I clearly am not a match if I am to believe the woman's profile. If a woman specifies a guy that is at least ten inches taller than her, height is a big deal to her.

I just sent an email, why would I want to send one to someone else? :roll:

Why? To increase the likelihood that someone will email you back.

Yeah lol, it's like job hunting. Ideally you'd just apply to one or two places but in reality you're applying to every single place that meets your criteria.

I know I'd prefer that on dating sites I could only message like 3 people and everything would work out, but it doesn't. Because the chances of you definitely clicking with those three people are low. That's just how it is.

I really do get the urge to only send one though lol. Maintaining multiple conversations is exhausting and most people don't interest me anyways. Too boring.

When you are a short guy it isn't easy to find matches--so it seems like my time is better spent fixing up the place--much better to put in a new bathroom faucet now than when I'm in a relationship. The hard part isn't putting it in--its figuring out how to remove the old one.

Women like winners--I decided it would be fun to win some trophies for new profile pics. I suppose it would be an acceptable white lie to pick the best pic and pair it up with the best trophy--after all, it is me and I did win the trophy. :wink:
