The bad thing about women, which they must have picked up from some stupid Cosmo mag, is that they look for every possible reason to ELIMINATE you from contention. In person you have chances to adjust and make saves, but an online profile is like a sitting duck surrounded by 500,000 tons of TNT. |

I read an article on that not too long ago, and for online it applies to both sexes. When you meet in person, you are willing to overlook minor flaws, but when it comes to online profiles, one flaw, no matter how minor, eliminates the person almost immediately.

Another one contacted me. I'm trying to figure out if there are any red flags here.
1. Very attractive. 2. 19 years old (same as my kid) 3. Just dumped by her boyfriend yesterday. 4. Told by him she has until October 1st to get her stuff out of his place. 5. Is considering moving to another state to live with a guy she has only had online dealings with. She "met" him off Craigslist. 6. Wants to be a nude model. 7. Sent me a nude pic. 8. Is looking for a friend. I have to question any woman that says she is seeking a friend. Last edited by M GO BLUE!!! : 08-27-2012 at 09:44 PM. |

Oh I do the same thing. I'm a bit more forgiving in my opinion. You don't have to be a doctor or a lawyer, just be attractive and a non pain in the ass, to me. On a serious note, the problem with meeting women in real life is two things... 1. Where I live. I picked the wrong town to be single and in my late 30s/early 40s. Most of the women are in their late 50s and up. Seeing how as I'd like at least one mini Jedikooter, this area that I live in has been very difficult to meet women in person. 2. A lot of the women that are close to my age range in Marin county are just...flaky. I don't know if their parents dropped too much acid while their mom was pregnant with them or what, but, I'd rather listen to someone scratching a chalkboard than to deal with most of them.

You gotta be willing to travel bro. You also gotta be willing to make the first move. Some chicks will make the first move but its only a certain kind of woman that will do that. But if youre not getting the sort of interest you want then you are doing something wrong.
Its not all their fault or all of their expectations being too high or whatever. Your chick is out there even if she might not know it yet. But you gotta make a believer out of them and you gotta be like blue magic and be true to your brand. If you don't have a brand for yourself you need to establish one because its the most critical part of this process. So many dudes I work with feel this way that dating is just a waste of time and wanna blame the women. The first thing we do in my program is to teach dudes that if they want someone you have to fucking man up. No one wants an entitled dude. Its not even about being all macho or being good looking. If you have all your teeth and have a job and all that it doesn't make you stand out. Lots of guys have that. You gotta figure out what makes you the most awesome MFer in the world to chill with. And once you establish what makes you unique (not your stamp collection or those action figures) but what might make a woman want to invest time with you then you need to be able to communicate that. 1. You need an elevator pitch. Every email needs to be unique. Stop sending spam that's generic. Tell them something that makes it clear you read their profile. Skimming is okay. You just need to pick out the key details. 2. Keep the first one short and invite them to check you out and to write if they find you interesting. Don't talk immediately about going out and don't talk about anything about them being sexy or hot. Even hot women want to be more than just a piece of meat. At least at first. 3. Be willing to be the initiator but don't go sending out 100s of notes because you won't be on your game. If you are on a free site and your profile isn't working you can always delete it and start a new one with a new name. Then you show up in the Who's New section, women will start noticing. If you are in a small town you can't list that small town as your city. You gotta go to the next largest city near you. Otherwise you are in a small pool and I don't care if you are the Hugh Hefner of your small little fucking pond no one wants to play in the kiddie pool and no woman wants to sit at the little kids table. EVERYONE wants the big piece of chicken. Believe that. So whatever. Maybe I'm just full of shit and I'm not being helpful at all. I'm posting for those lurkers. People who aren't gonna post but come here and tune into what other people have to say. The ones who might be trying new things and are wondering why it's not working out for them. You can do this bro. You can make changes that will change your life but you gotta stay committed to it and its not always about what's wrong with women. You gotta figure out what's wrong with you and find a way to offset that by accentuating the shit that makes you the man. Good luck to everyone. Last edited by SkippyDies : 08-28-2012 at 07:10 PM. |

She was crying about it, because she said she wanted, more than anything, to feel that way...and it just wasn't happening. I understand that, and that's why I've made my peace with it.

Skippy is trying to help. It does smack of Tom Cruise's "Frank Mackey" character in magnolia. "Everyone wants the big piece of chicken" sounds like it was ripped directly from the script. If you're striking out with everyone, you're doin it wrong

I've avoided posting in here for a lot of reasons. Many of them are highlighted by the mocking of what is a very, very good post from Skippy.
The amount of hypocritical, chest-thumping machismo from a bunch of Text Sim Nerds about the "too-high standards" from women on dating sites is hilarious in this thread. Then someone comes in with real world, solid advice on how to be successful on online dating sites and they get mocked. Wonderful.

I haven't dated in 20+ years, nor have I given any advice in this thread that I can recall. I'm just here for entertainment. That post reads like Kyle snuck his way back onto FOFC. I wasn't mocking whoever that guy is, other than the fact that he makes it sound like he advises guys on how to date for a living? That's a bit much, yeah - whether or not it's true.

I know a couple guys who run dating advice programs like Skippy apparently does, and I know the general jist of how those programs go. Skippy's making good points and it pretty much goes along with what I know about these things.
I would have been applying principles like these in my own dating searches for months now, except that I am perfectly happy with my GF. There is no reason to be frustrated with searching for love (or for less), so long as you approach it right.

I'll echo Logan's thoughts. I learned more about what I didn't want in a woman from these dating sites. I also learned more about myself. The biggest thing I learned was to be myself and not someone who I thought that person I was meeting wanted me to be. You have to accept that on a dating site you have a very brief window to make an impression on this person because (whether you like it or not) she is talking to many other guys behind the scene and if you don't stand out she will just move to the next. I liken it to a job interview more than anything. |

This thread has had a pretty much light hearted tone to it, with people ribbing each other now and then. Saying people are hypocritical makes me think that people's sarcasm detectors are malfunctioning.
