Good point. The difference is my profile's post is respectful to women in general. I'm smiling in my pictures generally and write a friendly invite to chat. There's not much to criticize except those that have criticized it as being to general, not enough pics etc. That criticism I've received on this site which was constructive which I accept.

I think I would expect someone to say something if I came off as a jerk.

For example stuff like if you're a ____ than keep moving.. etc..

That is essentially how people that post like this are acting in my opinion.

It's all really a moot point actually as I realize that OLD is a failed social experiment. It only has caused me frustration as I've learned how it works.

So this bloke is off the sites once again lol I do much better interacting with women in real life situations.

Yeah a little break won't do any harm mate

But again I know you wasn't being mean as such but just that you would take it as supportive criticism or as tough love doesn't mean others will

If OLD is dicey as people say then ^^^^ would crush someone as it seems to have more than its fair share of fragile people mate

Meeting women isn't hard at all but finding a woman worth dating is hard.

I wonder why women think this is a good way to present themselves. Maybe relax and take some zen classes or something and lighten up a bit. There are single men on here legitimately looking to meet a good women, although I realize more and more that this is online dating is not a good option really.
Wow. I can't believe that you actually sent that to her and that you don't think that there is anything wrong with that. You essentially just messaged her in order to lecture her and tell her off. How attractive. Not. It's a bit like "hey, you'd be really attractive if you had a personality transplant. Please change XYZ. Want to go on a date?".
Why on earth would you message her, just to criticise her? Well, at least she looked "nice", eh? I'm guessing that you were not really looking for romance there.

Which brings me to:

The problem is that the "litter" consists of people who think that there is nothing wrong with angry, bitter, rude, entitled etc. etc. messages.

Yeah its really sad brother, I'm 17 but it seems like in order to find a good woman you have to be the greatest looking man on the earth, or the most calm strong man, I sometimes get nervous around women, old and young, but I still try to be very respectful and confident around women. I do agree to it seems like a lot of women are already in a relationship, I hope I myself find a beautiful lady one day, I really want to find someone who is sweet funny and outgoing, not like most women today that are stiffknecked and don't even like to lay in your arms, or be silly, so I thought I would leave this comment, peace to you

Mate as you get older it becomes easier and easier to talk and be around women, you'll learn lots over the next few years

Honestly don't worry you seem a very well mannered and thoughtful young man so you'll have NO problems

A huge welcome to the forum

Default Why meeting women is hard.

I can speak of the Native americans as I am full Navajo. Native women do and will approach a native guy and not wait for a man to approach her. I am happily married because of a non shy native woman.
