and you’ll see an episode where a ugly fat black women claim they can’t get no men. Then we see their requirement list and it’s just silly. She’s fat, ugly, and not rich yet she wants a guy that’s 6’2 or greater, must have six pack, must be handsome and built and must be multi-millionaire, yet she’s fugly, fat and poor, lol.

I don't know about the ugly part but this suuuuuuuuuure sounds like the gazillion of women I've run into throughout my life.

Funny post. Good job.

It's not that I wouldn't be an awesome employee and I'm sure I could do an excellent job, but because my resume doesn't include 6 ft tall and the best looks (I'm told that I'm cute, not handsome) and I tend to look very young for my age....that isn't enough to even get a response, let alone a phone interview with these women.

I also can't help but feel that these women I'm applying to aren't even worth it or nearly as wonderful and they may think themselves to be. Can you imaging being passed up on a job that requires a Doctorate in Physics only to find out that someone with a second grade reading level could do? Imagine a position on monster or CB that claims you can achieve earnings in your first year of up to $200,000 and when you get to the job interview you find out they only pay $10 an hour.

It's a little cynical, but this is why I just hate online dating. I'm trying not to give up on it, but I absolutely have zero expectations for it. It's such a stupid way to try and meet someone. I seriously believe there's much more that can be achieved by spending your efforts on other things in life than some of these worthless people (both men AND women).

Online dating seems to attract the worst of the worst when it comes to women. It's somewhat like looking for jobs on Craigslist: the good ones are never or rarely advertised in such a broad and indiscriminate fashion. You have to network and get more specific. (ie; I want to work for "that" company, now how can I make that happen?)

I think in the day and age of online dating, it should be fairly simple. One of the things I hate about online dating, to me, is one of the things that works.

You are looking through a virtual catalog of people. You can be picky and you can be choosy. If they are not like what they professed to be on their profile you can move along. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Accept when you get almost no responses from women and your sex drive is through the roof, that's generally what causes people to settle. Sex drive and a biological clock are the only reasons I can think of why someone would settle in this day and time, there are no economic reasons anymore.

Good question. Most women say they want a man who is emotionally and financially stable, good looking, great with kids and successful. I hit all those marks but few women seem to be interested. But for some reason being a young 40-something widower with a 10-year-old son seems to be a barrier to most women.
