So among other things, he's jealous?

None of it makes a bit of sense to me, but thanks for trying to clarify

She wants a guy interested in a real relationship - nothing "stupid" or wrong with that.
I think it's more along the lines of how the profile words came out. How they were stated so to speak.

A woman who blatantly says she has enough friends for sex alone and chastises the guys on her profile who seek physical attention comes across as arrogant, snotty and prissy. It's like, what does she got so special between her legs that she needs to be discriminate about the guys who address her profile?

Solution. Weed through them like most normal ladies do, who don't need to be so deliberate with an
ending profile message stating her disdain for sex-only-guys.

On-line dating is a trial and error institution. One is not going to find that Pristine Prince Charming who will play the monthly or yearly waiting game just for a kiss. Some guys won't go for that anymore because it usually means he's one pea in a whole string bean of men. In many cases the girl is sleeping with her choice favourite while dissecting the other profiles. Guys and girls get deceived this way.

You have to bite your lip and sift through the BS on dating sites a lot of the time.

Using a paid website system like match.com or eharmony helps reduce the creeps

Thanks for taking the time to try to explain this convoluted thought process

I suppose there are always going to be prickly people who take offense at something, even when no offense was intended or is even really there.

It would behoove the OP to remember that it's how we choose to frame things that often make them "ugly".

You are saying he saw what she wrote as "arrogant, snotty and prissy" but most folks here saw it as her way of just saying, hey, I don't want guys only interested in sex to respond to my post - I am looking for a real relationship. And whether he believes it or not, there is NOTHING wrong with her stating that.

Probably since they are way too expensive. No one is paying for that crap

What about the people that do pay for that crap? I guess they must get something out of it.

If your serious about finding quality dates and actually know how to use them, they are very handy, especially for introverted guys like me

Says you, other people have had great luck and lots of marriages for paying online website. $60 is nothing in the grand scheme of things if it saves you a lot of money being wasted non worthwhile people and spending the huge amounts of time getting to know a persons basics on a face to face basis.

I really like online dating because I can easily filter out undesirable traits in woman that I consider deal breakers such as wanting kids, smoker, excessive tattoo's/peircings and drug users. Finding that out however face to face takes A LOT of time, money and trial and error, along with heartache.

I know quite a few people who have had successful, wonderful LTRs and a few who even married someone they met via match.com or eharmony.

I don't see what she said wrong. I think she was a little naive, thinking it would deter the more annoying posters. But she didn't say anything wrong.
