Hey, people do really dumb things.

Of course, we could be overanalyzing and they could just be really busy

they could be busy, but I"m talking about the ones who clearly have been logging on consistently.

Does Match show you the last time they've been on?
On a related note: four women have sent me chat requests (or whatever they are) and have yet to actually log in. I think I am experiencing what you're talking about. lol.

They don't. just get chat requests and "you've been added as a contact!" or something like that. So basically they're sending them right as they log off or something?

Some of this behavior confuses me way more than it would in real life. Harder to gauge interest and intentions over the 'Net.

exactly! its so annoying. Unfortunately my day to life doesn't put me around eligible men that I would be willing to date. the few that I know that are single, I'm not attracted to. Thus, I have to resort to the lame way of meeting men. I hate that my life has come to this but what can ya do?

I hear ya.

I'm in sort of the same boat, though it's for different reasons. I have, on several occasions, been completely oblivious of women who were interested in me because I'm not used to being flirted with. In addition, some people don't "get" my humor or interests (dunno what's so hard to understand about those things) and because of that I can come across as either an ass or a total spaz. lol.

Online dating is unfortunately becoming the norm.. while it does help some people, it doesn't replace face-to-face conversation.

mir, sorry to hear you are having a bad time with match. Hope things look up for you! I'm not having much luck there myself I posted my experience here:

EDIT: Hmm seems like this board has linking disabled. Just look for the thread titled "Match.com - My experience as a guy".

I'm just responding to the things they say and ask..nothing rude or weird.

this is getting more and more bizarre and its actually becoming odder than my very brief experience on POF.
I feel ya! That happened to me last week with two guys I emailed back. I was like, WTF? It makes no sense. I reply to my emails every night and they just dissapeared. Very annoying but hey, I am giving Match my last try this year. Something's gotta come out of it before December 31st
