Goodness gracious, I don't know what's wrong with me. Just today I have written about 5 responses to threads, thought better of it, and deleted them before posting, all the while shaking my head and muttering "don't... just don't...".

Get yourself together Angie!

I remember when I first started dating I was the thinnest I've ever been and the guy said "well you're kinda thick but for you I'll push my preferences aside." LOL! I was weighing 120 pounds!
That's when you force-feed him a box of cornstarch. :p

experiment went how I thought it would go. however in the nature of the experiment I was open minded
Might be true for online dating profiles but I have another experiment for you. Get yourself in a good mood and next time you are out and see a knockout beautiful woman just say hey, keep good eye contact and bring good emotions to the table. Just have a conversation for the sake of enjoying the whole thing. You can bypass all that looks and money status with women if you are just focused on having a good time and not neccessarily getting anything out of her. I promise it works. I am only 5'5, on a dating profile I don't even meet the height requirement of most women's search tastes. I am also a little overweight. Real life is a different story though.

One of the perks of being a guy. We can surpass the preference for tall, goodlooking, or financially secure. Any guy that has a good mindset and is positive about the whole thing can do it. I quit dating last year because it kept getting me into trouble but i have enough experience to be certain of this. As beautiful as you want, you can have. I would submit that it is just a negative mentality that is holding you back. I have seen guys even shorter, fatter, and broker than me get outrageously beautiful girlfriends. Being physically unattractive or even broke as a homeless man is not a valid excuse for a guy to use IMO.

Dating sites are not an accurate overall reflection on humanity in either men or women. Those who seek a lifelong partner this way are often using these sites as a last-ditch attempt where all else have failed. No one sets out their wants in a list in reality...it just isn't like that, you just meet someone and you know - sometimes it's immediate, other times love grows more gradually. Dating sites are too artificial and direct.

I was never interested in fast cars or money. I can't be the only one!

I wondered what the results would be if it was reversed.
running that experiment now. about 7 days in. so far its been pretty equal in message count.

avg looking girl making 100K year 13 messages
10/10 girl making less then 12k a year 15 messages

9 messages was same guy to both girls.

also to ad, all messages were sent by guys within 50 miles.

I did that just yesterday! I hadn't been on this site for a while and then I write something long and personal about something that happened and then thought - what. What am I even doing? and dropped it. It's like "pull your pants up son" - that's what my dad used to say ALL the time. He alternated with Pull your pants up BOY. Like I'm walking around with my pants down? What does that even mean? Like that's the ultimate humiliation or whatever. I'm complaining about something being hard and there's a hint of whine in something I said and suddenly my pants fall down? And I have to pull them up to redeem myself?

Well, hell - here's one I oughta delete.

Really? Because i've seen multiple threads and posts with people doing exactly that. Sharing their lists. I've heard many stories from people who came from churches that Taught you write what you want in a spouse, down to hair and eye color, personality type, etc... and God will give you all the things on your list. Tons of people have lists like this.

Though i'd have to say that a statement like '... are Often using these sites as a last ditch attempt...' is based more on personal assumption than a fact you can point to. Online dating has become more and more common and popular and very much the norm anymore. Not just pathetic lonely people who can't do any better.

Though i believe dating sites are actually a Very accurate reflection of humanity, at least of the areas which are represented. Just like off line, it seems a large number of men on dating sites are really just looking for sex. Women say they are looking for real relationships, but often make bad choices in who they choose to give chances to, and pass up better options, just like off line. There are those who are out to deceive and use people, just like off line. It seems to me that dating sites just make it easier to see how the world really is, rather than misrepresenting it.

Really dating sites are just a place to go where other singles are looking as well. Its like going to a singles mixer, but online. The idea isn't you click a profile, fall in love and get married. No one is advertising that. It's just saying 'hey, if you're single and want to find someone, come here to increase your chances of meeting someone'.
