There's no reason to write long messages on a dating site. A short paragraph that includes something about a shared interest, point of view, etc. should be enough. At least if she doesn't reply you don't feel like you've wasted a lot of time.

You're thinking of Chris Johnson.

Chris Brown is the popular R&B/pop singer who physically assaulted Rihanna a couple of years ago. I strongly dislike that guy.

Haha. A weak attempt at trolling. You may be correct when it comes to dumb women (and girls). OTOH, women with some sense wouldn't come within 5 miles of Chris Brown or anyone like him.

Because you haven't hit it off with women you decide they would rather be beaten by some guy?

So people say arrogance does attract more females - ok yeah Ill throw in a good dose of arrogance. DEFINATELY less dinner dates is putting a hurt on my wallet ,, I don't know someone my age suggesting a movie? A baseball game is out, just a drive maybe? A walk by the river?
HOnestly the first questions these girls ask are HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE?? I don't have the best car and I can tell when they lay eyes on it they are disappointed. Where am I meeting these women? Match.com and I probably get one date per 50 messages I send out.
I'm just down and frustrated thats all.

Do you get a lot of messages from guys ? And if so what would make you ignore them?

I'm kind of into ex-bad boys. They've sowed their wild oats and they've kind of settled down by the time they become attractive to me. But none of the guys I've been with has ever been a Chris Brown type, either.

When a woman asks how much you make, there's a very simple response. You hang up the phone, delete the email, end the encounter. This isn't rocket science.

Start emailing different types of women. You know - the ones who have jobs, don't advertise their expensive tastes, have genuine interests and hobbies. The ones who don't advertise their looks as if they were their greatest asset.

Yeah but then he'll complain that they aren't pretty enough, yada yada.

Would you like some cheese to go with that whine OP?

If some guy asked me how much I make, I would answer "How much I make has no relevancy to you."

Dump A-holes when you find them. No muss, no fuss.
