It's not that all men are dogs and it's not exactly because you're going for that type of man either. It's usually because you're dating up. You reject 90% of the men that hit on you and you pick the best looking ones. You want the highest quality man you can get, which is understandable. Only problem is that guy you picked is out of your league and doesn't want anything serious with you. A guy will usually sleep with a girl who's not up to par with him, even one that he's not really attracted to. So while that man didn't want you, there's another girl he probably will want. It doesn't matter what matter what you look like. Have you heard of a guy who sleeps with a fat chick, but doesn't wanna commit to her. The same thing when these 5s and 6s shoot for the guy that all the girls like. If she has a nice body and she's not ugly, she's actually kinda cute, he'll talk to her, sleep with her, but usually won't commit to her. Stop dating up, that'll usually solve your problem.
Huh, interesting. So you find this behavior perfectly acceptable and excusable, as if it's HER problem and not his?

I can't agree there.
Anyone that treats others the way you describe here IS a dog...or more accurately, a juvenile a-hole.

You used it the right way, to meet people...

what I made the comment for, was that he said, that people use online dating for a relationship....that's why I said a few steps are missing.

This is because it has become apparent to them that being nice is not getting them the same results as the good looking guys that are nice, becasue well they are not good looking. Its easier to be a dbag than to be kind and when being kind yields no results what is the point? They already know they are not getting laid so why would they pander and play the chump?

The smart ugly guys would just go after ugly girls and do the best they could to make it work. Then they would not have to worry about being dbags becasue they would not have to put themselves in social situations that would bring out their dbagness.

Try again, sucka.
The worst boyfriends I ever had were ALL lower than my league. The men at my league were nice to me.

Having that poster's agreement doesn't lend your statement any credibility.

And I'm not trying to make them feel better. I'm trying to make them--and you--realize that maybe they shouldn't be shallow and go for looks, because guys like that aren't "dating up."

But I see I'm wasting my breath because a certain subgroup of posters want to do nothing but crab about women on this board because they think they are "edgy" by doing so.

So never mind. I'm over this.

There are plenty of gentlemen, the problem is you might not have eyes for them. Another thing, lets say you found one you found attractive enough. His niceness might not trigger your attraction.

But yeah, leagues and looks. The longer I live, the less I believe in them.

Look I wish I could date a super hot girl, but that's not realistic.

At least our philosophy when it comes to dating is that dating is for fun, and if you happen to meet someone who has long term potential, then we may take it there or not. If someone is asking for a relationship from online dating, I'd say they are asking a lot out of it. They should be doing it strictly to meet people, not specifically for a serious relationship. Sounds like some are skipping a step or two.

Your theory may hold merit for a sliver of the population, but not for the majority of it.
I'm talking about dating in general. Online dating was just an example I used.
