Lots and lots of beautiful girls,but I find that I dont have anything in common with them,the people who I find the most interesting tend to be very religious which makes sense but it is very ironic because I am not,they also probably wouldnt like me because of that,so I get nervous to start messaging them.

Exact same thing for me. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do big parties or anything so it seems like the only people who have qualities I look for are more religious people, it's very annoying.
The worst for me however is that I also can't stand sports and it seems like all the women on online dating sites are all "the perfect day for me is having a beer and watching football tee-hee giggle"

Yea I can relate to that.
I'm a non smoker, don't drink and don't do parties.
My ex became an alcoholic so I am quite wary of someone who enjoys a drink or two.
I'm guessing this narrows the field down to probably 5% :idontknow:

And I live with an alcoholic (my dad). I always kind of hate it when I'm watching a tv show and someone mentions alcohol or weed and everyone applauds.

"Real Man" is usually used as a shaming device that insiunates that a man is not attractive, rich, attentive, or confident enough.

Sounds like a fail attempt at trying to relate to boys.

FINALLY... some individuals that don't see what's so great about that stuff -__-

Yea I have to admit, when I was in my early 20's, I did the whole party and drinking thing. And all that happened was I usually got myself into trouble :eek:h:

Now I can't stand to even be around someone who is even slightly drunk..
So my online dating ad would start with something like;

"Average guy who doesn't drink, smoke or party, average looks, average income..average life....'

How many responses do you think I'd get with that? :giggle:

From my experience, you can't pay much attention to stereotypes. There are lots of women that meet that want to have sex, they just have much more coy way of doing it.

That seems odd... it tends to go against conventional wisdom. Just pointing that out.
 
Women will play games, that's just what they are programmed to do.
^ :eek:mg: Why use threads like these to put down and criticize the opposite sex?

As if the women you have encountered are a big enough sample size to then presume that the rest of the woman on the planet are all exactly like them?

Most of the men I have been related to and known in my life have been very......well, not nice to put it mildly, but I have not then presumed that every man on the planet is also just like them.

Fair enough if you feel that you don't have enough of an outlet to get your angry/hurt feelings out from past experiences with woman in the real world, but do you think it is fair to blurt out your critical feelings in a thread that will be read by woman who have no intention of ever treating men like you presume all do?
 
:kickingmyself:reading through this thread, I think the only way I can express my feelings about it is:
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggg!!!!:kickingmyself::kickingmyself:

Yep, women play games, they run and jump, and pole vault. And they impress the hell out of me.

You don't drink or smoke. I think many potential dates would actually respond positively to that.

Sounds better than a party animal who never reads books and is about as articulate as a rock.

It's all about hypergamy. Everybody online is trying to "date up" which means that the cream of the crop is getting the most legitimate attention.
I'm beginning to think that average online daters are not attracted so much to other average online daters.

When it comes down to actually choosing targets, men choose the modelesque.

Someone like roomtodance above gets nearly 5 times as many messages as a typical woman and 28 times as many messages as a woman at the low end of our curve. Site-wide, two-thirds of male messages go to the best-looking third of women. So basically, guys are fighting each other 2-for-1 for the absolute best-rated females, while plenty of potentially charming, even cute, girls go unwritten.

2/3 of male messages go to the top 1/3 of women.

The medical term for this is male pattern madness.
