What's up with this? I'm talking with someone...it's going well, both of us are getting to know each other and I suggest meeting or chatting on the phone and no more communication. If she did not want to transition to the real world why even get to know someone? This is idiotic to me.

Another example today... I express interest, she writes back Hi, you have a nice profile too... then I ask a bunch of usual questions about her hobbies etc. and she responds with just 1 line "Hi i'm Natalie"... if not interested why even respond?

these women are either seriously deranged or lack basic communication skills

Or really don't want to date, just looking for attention.

Waste of time and effort then! And women complain that they can't find decent men online? If they behave like this then surely not! What decent man is going to play these sorts of games?

Women aren't a single entity. Are you saying that some women can't complain because others behave this way?

I did not mean to imply that the women who are complaining are at fault... I am saying women who are playing these sorts of games, and my experience tells me there are a lot of them online, give all a bad name and ruin it for those women who do not play games because any decent man is not going to stick around after this sort of experience!

And men never play games on these sites.

Yes OP it is the same experience for both genders. Men also write one liners, don't reply after a while for whatever reason and a certain percentage of them are there just to find casual sex. It's just as hard for women. You just have to have a thick skin and have no expectations.

I'm not discussing men. I don't date men so I definitely would not be the right person to answer your statement.

Yes, perhaps men are the same way who knows... that's online dating culture for you.

Thanks coffee18... that's what I realized. It's frustrating as I don't treat people that way, online or offline... if someone contacts me I say no thanks or I engage if I am interested. I will not engage just to play some mind game with them, that's despicable behavior In my book.

Ok, but how does this make these women crazy? Stupid and flaky, yes, but not CRAZY. Why choose that label?
