I think it boils down to what you were taught. Alot of men were taught to approach the woman, take her out on a date, pay for the date, send flowers etc...Until you realise that doesnt work in 2012. I stepped back and watched men who were successful with woman. The ones that were sort of jerks to woman.
Not jerks but strong and assertive. Don't let your mom teach you how to deal with women. Lol

Not all women are socially-Darwinian like that, though...if a woman treats me like that (i.e., expects me to be crass and crude and aggressive to her, to make her admire or be impressed with me), then I can assure you, *I* do not want *her*, or anything to do with her!

The old-school approach of flowers, sensitivity, gentleman-liness, and kindness can still work with the nicer, more caring gals (who are also the only ones I am romantically interested in)...admittedly, they can just be a lil harder to find, these days...

DISCLAIMER: This does not work on all women.
Yea, it don't work on black women. You got to sweet talk the black women.

About a month after my account went inactive, I got a message that someone winked at me. I thought that was odd since my understanding was the general assumption is if you haven't been active on the site in 3+ weeks, you probably aren't on it anymore. I had my friend log in to her account because I was curious about who sent the wink and while we were at it did a search for my age and zip code. My profile showed I had been active within 24 hours. Another two weeks later, I got a message someone e-mailed me. Again, despite having not logged in for over a month, I showed as active within 24 hours.

So I wouldn't be surprised if some of the women you are not hearing back from who show as active users really aren't.
This is interesting. I'm not surprised to hear something like this going on. I recently heard about a lawsuit that got dismissed against match because "half" of their "millions" of users are inactive or fake accounts and they used wording in their user agreement to beat the suit.

It's not a basic human need, let's not get it twisted. It's a want. The only thing we technically need sex for is to reproduce. Otherwise, it's a want. The minute you start thinking you need sex, you have already lost.

Do I need sex? No. I'm not going to die without it like I would with food and water. Bad analogy there, buddy.
You're so wrong it's not even funny. I don't have time to sit here and school you.


Go read: The Function of the Orgasm

The Function of the Orgasm: Sex-Economic Problems of Biological Energy: Wilhelm Reich, Vincent R. Carfagno, Mary Higgins: 9780671822620: Amazon.com: Books




"In this seminal work Reich asks a number of basic questions related to the role of the orgasm in humans, such as:

If human females can be forced into sexual congress by the more dominant male (he was writing a long time ago :-) ) then why does nature bother to endow women with an orgasm?

If human females can only have a maximum of say 20 offspring over their reproductive life, why does nature endow women with cravings for sexual congress that can lead to thousands of orgasms over a woman's life? What is the physical nature of human sexuality that leads to psychosis when it is not given free reign (ie Freud pointed out that a lack of sex leads to madness and WR asks, if that is true (which he accepted) what is the mechanism which brings that about.

WR concluded that the orgasm in both the male and female of the species has a role that is far more meaningful and important to our well being than a mere pleasure principle working us towards reproduction. In short, he argues that the orgasm helps balance us and restore our sanity when the knocks and disappointments of everyday life threaten to unbalance us. It is a bit like a bar magnet. When it is in its most pure state, the atoms of the magnet are perfectly polarised (our lives are in balance) when it is subject to hammer blows, the magnet loses its perfect polarity and its power (the nitty-gritty wears us down and saps our life energy). Remagnetizing the bar magnet (orgasm's job in us) restores that polarity and our natural sense of well-being

So your stance is that if we do not have sex we will become psychotic?

THAT explains a lot of the posts around here.

Then care to explain that to the women who can't orgasm?

Getting back on topic, meeting people off dating sites is no more a crap shoot than meeting in person. The only difference is online you have an idea what people are looking for and can weed out the unwanted a lot easier.
