I'm 23 and I decided to create a profile on OKC. Short story short I decided to scout my competition and it was pretty encouraging. I feel like 70% these guys have no clue; staring angrily into the camera, way too much eye contact in general, dumb hats, taking selflies in the mirror, playing the nice guy card, using "lol", playing the "i'm new to online dating" card, being a sissy about writing a summary; "Well I don't normally talk about myself but here it goes"... It's a train wreck.
am I wrong?
Women who have used online dating, has this been your experience? Do most of the guys you receive messages from give off a 'clueless' vibe?
Don't listen to that nonsense, OP. Women DO read the profiles.
I realize that looks are always #1, but you still have to check and make sure your not about to dive into a psycho.
Even if I find a girl extremely attractive, i'll still scan her writing for deal breakers. I'd be shocked if 95% of women didn't do the same. Nonsense, i'd have to agree.
Not all are dumb. You have to becareful with online dating. Many games men and women play. And yes Neemy and Op many have multiple accounts to check if you and your stories add up.
Online is a lot of lies to sort through.
No normal well adjusted person needs a dating site......
...if they want to decrease the probability of meeting someone AND they aren't interested in an efficient way to glean potential dates' details such as occupation, interests, education levels, and philosophies especially if they work in a gender dominated workplace (like engineering or school teaching) where connecting with potential dates is quite a challenge.
Sure, you can just wing it and start with looks alone. Personally, I'd rather have a few clues about someone first. Good looking women are a dime a dozen. I'll take a 6 or 7 with good personality matchup, good background, etc than a 9 or 10 with a lot of baggage or divergent interests.
It's been my experience , from the several dating sites that women don't pay attention to what is said, and I have even met people that though I was some one else they had been looking at .
Even face to face , you can be talking to some one and they are agreeing with you, but haven't a clue as to what you are talking about.
Or woman are so self involved they have 0 interest in the world around them, and agree with the party at hand with out even knowing what it stands for.
One out of fifty ,may be are actually awake.
Hence most don't read or have good comprehension ,so the visual is all they seem to go by.
I could submit a picture looking like Brad Pit and a description of a homeless man and get tons of response.
Don't listen to that nonsense, OP. Women DO read the profiles.
Sure.. they read the profile if they like your picture. Otherwise they don't bother. Especially if the guy is the wrong race, bald, fat, etc.
