Online dating to me is tiring lol. Trying to convince someone you're a good match by just typing stuff in a box and a few pictures can be a challenge. They can't hear my tone of voice or see my body language, plus I am not photogenic at all. What I type can be read on the other end completely different. Plus I feel the material aspect in online dating is the primary decision maker.

Some first-time poster bumped this thread, then you responded. The newcomer's post has since been deleted or removed.

Yes the poster was spamming the board. I am hoping the OP responds but being so old probably not. I don't get where some men get this idea that women don't judge because we do. Yet when I did online I had so many men contact me without photos and get mad because I didn't want to talk to them without a photo. One of the men told me he would send a photo AFTER we met, yeah that's going to happen.

Well, it's just funny because if you read the posts here most of the women say they don't .. which is obviously untrue.

The truth is, everyone who has ever been around a woman knows they do.

I think many of the posters who think women don't judge are likely the same ones who get mad on sites when we do. I've had so many men tell me how wrong I was when I turned down a man I felt wasn't attractive to me.

? Of course women judge. Women (good looking) women also have a CRAZY advantage in online dating since many guys just message everything that looks good fishing for a response.

True but the problem is many of those guys aren't good choices. I had hundreds of responses but when I filter them out less than 5% were actual matches in terms of lifestyles (I only date childless men and rarely divorced men), age (no old men), body type (no obese), poor grammar, etc.

Total success with the online meeting thing. Here's why -- I select for what interests me, and it saves a lot of time.

Here's what doesn't save time. I get a LOT a lot a lot of messages from guys from the site, and that's fine, but I will tell you what -- if you say in your profile "I'm an easy-going, laid-back guy", you are not for me. Easy-going (or more commonly, without the hyphen) tells me that you will spend your evenings comatose on the couch watching Family Guy.

And "laid back"? There's only one way I want to be laid back and it's not by a "laid-back" guy! Some fire please!

That's a lot of judgement for a phrase that can mean anything. I am laid back and easy going, but I'm out on the town 3 to 4 nights a week. I just don't sweat small stupid things and am easy to get along with. Sounds like your missing out on some fun and cool guys.
