John, I'm thinking you are around my age. You're a nice looking man and I'm no dog I don't think, but my luck wasn't much better than yours. Hot women in their young twenties may get hundreds of messages in their inbox, but that is not the experience for the majority of women and esp women my age. Men repeat this hundreds of times on CD, but it is only semi-true. Besides, I"m willing to bet that of the minority of women who get hundreds of messages, over 95% of them are useless b/c they're either "Hi baby, ur cute." or some guy obviously looking for a ONS, someone their dad's age. Yeah, I had hundreds of offers like that in my youth too, and one of the benefits of aging is that that kind of nonsense has mostly stopped. (Though I did have a truckdriver honk at me the other day lol. I wondered if he was shocked when I turned around to see who it was. Nowadays that kind of attention is a bit more welcome.) Men somehow think that these kinds of offers give the ladies more choice somehow, but once you eliminate those 95% or more, the numbers start to look more like everyone else's and still those women have more choices than women my age do, and we get that men prefer younger women but we prefer men our own age usually, which is why you see so many single older women.
Also, the pickins are much slimmer at our age b/c many are either married, in a relationship, or don't trust OL dating.
Very true, though I still got many sexual comments when I did online recently. I would get so mad when men my dad's age would contact me and I would ask why they didn't contact women their age they had excuses. Every time I read that women get all these messages I want to ask where because I certainly didn't get a lot of QUALITY messages last time go around, In fact the majority of my messages where from men out of my range age wise, lifestyle wise etc or where downright nasty messages telling me how I should be lucky to take any man because of my age.
I don't get it. How can you people speak of sexual comments, picture of penises, etc...
etc.
I would never do that. Am I special?
LOL, I don't know. I only got sexual stuff on POF, which I deleted my account in about 2 weeks, cause it was a trash site. On Match, I never get that stuff.

You're just a better person than the trash that inhabits these sites, especially the free ones. To be fair while I did get a lot of older men and other men not what I desired, most didn't send dirty photos or nasty messages. I don't understand the mentality some of these people have and I have to wonder how would they feel if their mom/daughter/sister etc would receive these messages?
The site owners could control access to the site until there was a relatively even number of responses and dates between men and women. If you allow the ratio to get skewed and have no way to keep people (especially men) from joining then your not delivering a value added product.
Look the main point is if you are UNATTRACTIVE you will not succeed in Online dating
THE END
This is pretty much it. Its a harder life as someone who is unattractive, MUCH harder.
I would like to see if they do studies to see if unattractive people on average die younger due to the stress of nothing coming easy. There is a line where "hard" work to get what you want in life hits an unhealthy level and compromises your health, if everything you try to do in life is a monumental struggle that's going to take a toll.
My phylospohy is I would rather work that hard and just die young having made a few accomplishments than done nothing and had no one.
