Wait! You avoid...won't date...dismiss anyone who's divorced?
There are many people who have never been married who will not date someone who has been divorced. I'm divorced and when I see a profile that says that, doesn't bother me, just move on to the next one

I guess. But there are a lot worse things to consider than they're divorced. Just seems strange but whatever.
So ladies, do you ever regret the decision to not respond to a guy who may have been pretty cool, funny, yet wasn't your ideal? Or perhaps he "fell" through the cracks as you may have been inundated with lots of messages at the time? Have you ever gone back to his profile after a few months just to get back on his radar?.
If a guy truly makes an impression, I would never NOT respond. I have gone back and responded to messages months after the fact, and I ended up meeting some of those guys offline but no love connections were made that way. For the most part, I don't think I could ignore/overlook someone who I was truly interested in.
If she does not find your pictures attractive then nothing else matters. I've had women give me their number without really getting to know me.
90% of the women in my area have 1 or more kid and out of shape.
That's very true, if your pictures aren't attractive to her no one bothers to read the message. On the other hand, if you look like a male model, no one cares about the one liner "Hi, how are you" that you send, they will still readily give out their number to you.
Obviously online dating is a numbers game, whether you're on Match, PoF, OkC, etc. Both men and women have felt regret in some ways when it comes to relationship opportunities, but we know that 98% of the time it's the man who messages the women first (or in real life, approaches the woman first). Therefore, the woman is confronted with a decision to respond or not. It's right there in your hands.

The rare wink or message I get online is nearly always from unattractive women who sometimes have kids, are divorced, etc, which is not what I want. So, I have no regrets in not responding to them.
For guys, our regret is usually "Damn I should've approached that girl at the bar" or "should've messaged that girl", ie the decision to iniate or not.
even in the rare event that you made a great impression but got shot down anyway, men and women usually rationalize their choices as the right one.

No. I only regret the time I wasted actually responding and going out.
Tall, white, and fit are definitely prerequisites for many women. Don't meet those and you'll have a much more difficult time online.
I am reasonably fit, but I am neither tall nor White, I guess that explains the reason why I have such low response rates on the internet.
Oh btw, I came to know that even 5'8" is considered short for men these days, I had this chick messaging me y'day that I was too short for her, and she's only 5'8" too for that matter

That's reasonable, actually. If she wears 5 inch heels, she is 6 2 or up there. Will look awkward. I'm not too against height requirements. Except the midgets who are 5 1 and set the same requirements.
