That is when you realize all the 'real women' on these sites aren't really looking for dates. Yeah I know, I know they put that in the profile and if it's online it has to be truthful right?!
Think about it. Now think about it again.
Sorry dear. I used online dating for many years. I rarely met men any other way. I'm a single mom (son is in college now) and I am a gym regular, with a full time job. Not much time (or desire frankly) to be out partying and socializing, looking for a partner. Your statements are probably more applicable to a much younger crowd...those that have not yet matured into adult responsibilities. However, for those that do have such responsibilities, going online is a great resource. You'll learn, you just are young yet.
Jogging is a social status? And here I just thought it was an activity to clear the mind and get some exercise.
No but working out, running etc is a time commitment that eats into your day. Meeting for a glass of wine can mean giving up the trip to the gym or an opportunity to ride the bike after work.

Agreed...but it surely isn't anything to be considered "status building". As someone that works out a lot, I definitely have issues with time constraints...but it has NOTHING to do with social status. I want to stay healthy and fit - that is my purpose.

I feel similarly. I say I'm busy because I AM busy. I work full time and go to school part time. I have friends that I want to hang out with. I have extracurricular activities because I'm trying to apply for grad school. Yes, are there men in real life that are interested in me? Sure. But not any that I have any potential with. I think some guys don't get that a woman who flakes on you is simply not that into you. Deal with it and move on. The girl that wants you will make herself MORE than readily available to you, trust me.
I had an OKC profile, and sometimes I'd go weeks, even a couple months before realizing that I hadn't checked it recently. I'd go and look and have 30 messages. And when I looked:
Boring

Ugly

Fat
Stupid
Spam

... I mean, after all, it is a meat market...
Don't offend the meat! I find the steak waiting for me in the kitchen a lot more exciting!
I know I may be out of my mind for even thinking such a thing, but...she may actually be a busy person, who also happens to want to find a romantic connection with someone.
I know, I know...the conspiracy theories are more fun.
I talked to a young lady earlier today.....she sent her phone number to me today.
The only thing she talked about was "how busy she was".
Like this:
school starts that week
I'm visiting my mom on that week
I've got to do this for my sister on that week
we can probably get together several weeks out.
I laughed to myself and said, "give me a call when you're free"......click.
The OP is talking about people like her. They're on a dating website, hopefully looking for a real life connection than they go into the "I'm so busy".
I hope she doesn't think I'll be waiting for her to "get free". I guess she wants some one to be there for her when she gets ready. Like a little toy she can pull off of the shelf and play with at her convenience. Laughable at best............NEXT.
I've said it once and I'll say it again: "Busy is the new social status".

"I'm soooooooooo busy"
Honestly? I have never EVER run into a dude that responded like that, in all my years of being online. Never once.
I see that over and over on dating profiles. My favorite one is: "I may not reply back, not because I don't want to but because I don't have time".
Why are you on a dating website? Or are some people just so full of themselves?
Well, my profile has that.. because it is fake and of the wrong gender.
I can see why women don't reply.. men seem totally pathetic chasing women online.
