Which is why you're not by complaining about the same thing every post?

This is how I see it for alot of women these days.

Guys in bars arent usually after anything long term; Alot of guys in bars dont have the courage to start talking to a girl (and girls certainly dont approach guys in general!)

Peoples lives are so busy- they just dont have time to go to bars all the time or social clubs and it would need alot of time to sift through guys to find someone compatible. Online dating is quick- you can search 100s of profiles in a matter of hours, and some women get 100s of emails daily.

You can chat online and exchange numbers to chat before meeting to find out if compatible. In a bar- your both drunk and cant really build up any idea.

With online dating theres no face to face rejection, email someone, if they dont respond, no big deal. In bars it tends to be mainly the players who hit on women because they have the confidence.

When i first started doing online dating, I didnt have time to write a good profile. Maybe wrote two lines and I used to get about 20/30 emails a day (depending on how long i was logged in for). When I perfected my profile- that number didnt go up.

Alot of guys just send out generic messages to as many women as possible. It's a numbers game. In my experience it's much more fruitful to write well-thought out messages to a select group of members you are really interested in - not just based on their profile pic but what they actually say in their profile.

Most guys on online dating websites have 0 game, so if you have any game or any understanding of female psychology, you will be at the top 10%.

I have a profile online, and it is very creative, I have pictures of my last trip to Europe, a picture of me at a college football game, and a picture of me in a cowboy hat and Western clothes at the State Fair, and it has worked for me, my paragraph is very creative and totally different from the average profile, women like people who are different and interesting.

If you don't even read a woman's profile and write something really stupid, like "You are so beautiful", do you really expect to get a reply? What has worked for me the mostly online is approaching a woman with something funny, not idiotic but funny and clever, most women like guys with a good sense of humor

Just like with anything, the more you time and effort you put into it, the more you will get out of it as long as your profile is accurate and truthful, most women can see BS from miels away, yet so many dumb guys still try to insult their intelligence!

Bragging about the material things you own is IDIOTIC, because women know that you are trying to compensate for something you lack, it is pretty much all psychology!

Haha, this was hilarious! Yes, keep typing those "You are so beautiful" messages, Subject line could be something really creative like "Hi" or "Hello"
