Woman : some nights the food I get doesn't taste very good. I hate it and it really bothers me.

Man : I haven't eaten in two weeks.


Girls get quantity and quality, most guys get neither on these sites

LOL. This is how men definitely feel.

The argument from the other side is that "some" is bigger than we understand.

Not sure what school of ego-driven thought leads to the "quality" assumption, but it's ridiculous. "How r u nice rack" is not quality. That was the whole point to the guy's experiment.

Call us when you're a woman and can speak to what "women get."

There's quality men on dating sites... probably just as many as serious, real (i.e. not fake profiles) women. Seek them out and/or stop overlooking us.

But women are supposed to be grateful for the validation, or something.

It's like:
Man: Hey, you're getting a free blanket! Nobody's giving me anything.
Woman: Yeah, but it's infected with smallpox.

I think you missed his point Lilac110. I'll try and explain what I think he's getting at. What he's saying is that you actually do get quantity and quality. If you have the time to go through all the emails, you will find quality guys. The problem is, women, much like men, still want instant gratification. You want to open your inbox and have the handsome man waiting on you. You don't want to go through the countless emails daily, actually grinding and doing work. Dating takes work from men and women. If women want to find the quality throughout the quantity, then you have to work for it. It's not just going to appear in front of you.

If quality men are working to message the women good messages, those women should want to weed through the bad messages to get to the good ones. If you meet and you're a match, all the work you put into it is moot anyways.

While I understand your point, I am pretty sure many (if not most) men are guilty of the same. Instead of combing through emails, though, we look for the pretty girls in profile pics and skip the rest. We discount the fact that a woman who may not fit the bill physically may far exceed what we are looking for in all other areas.

My point is, men and women both overlook one thing in favor of another. That's the way of the birds and the bees, so to speak.

I'll admit that a picture perks my interest to click the profile, but the words in the profile get me to send a message. The woman can be a 10/10 in the looks category to me, but if her profile says "Jusk ask", then guess what? I'm not going to ask, because she comes off as lazy to me.
