No. There's no way for anyone on a dating site to know how much money you make, anyway, unless you tell them or you have an occupation that screams "poor."

I think most men would trade with women, only because the prospect of easy NSA sex is tempting. Ultimately, it's probably easier to have lots of options, even if they are s****y, than to have no options at all.

I do not do these things. I've written some well thought out messages and I've also written the I'm interested in getting to know you message. I get nothing, absolutely nothing.

Honestly, women are there own worst enemy.
You completely missed the points to all of this.

First, the sheer volume can be overwhelming. That's not a woman's fault.

Second, as the fellow learned, some guys can't wait five minutes for a reply and start pelting a woman with messages asking why she's not responding. That's not a woman's fault, either.

Third, as the fellow learned, there were PLENTY of men who initially presented themselves as interested in the person, and once they had the "woman's" attention, then they launched into the sexual commentary. They used the ol' bait-and-switch. That is not a woman's fault, either.

Nope, Ngroh hit the nail on the head:

Yep. Some women will get more than 100 emails a day to their profiles when they first sign up. That's a LOT to weed through. That's why I was kind of merciless in deleting messages. Maybe there were some good guys in there who just happened to see me "online now" and thought they'd send a quick "hi, how are you" figuring to catch me while I was there, but I had no way of telling them from the dolts who just sent that to every woman on there.

Been here before, and after a while, those options get boring as well. Even though they are options, they are ****ty options. They are usually only around to cure boredom. When you realize that, you tend to realize how unfulfilling they are for you and how you are for them. It's easy to end up in a wash, rinse, repeat situation.

Sorry. That doesn't elicit any sympathy.

You could just ignore the crude messages.

Are women saying they would rather a) have nobody attracted to them physically their whole life than b) get 50 crude messages from unattractive men who are attracted to them.

Even if 50 fat, ugly women were sending inappropriate messages to me, it's still better than a).

Oh. You're saying you want it all? You want to be made to feel attractive only by attractive men who are also polite. I see.

Why yes, yes we do.

But I would rather have the crude ones than the pseudo nice guys. They are the worst!

I'm aware some men get that kind of attention too.

Never take being able to attract for granted.

People should know as much reading these forums.

I rarely received messages while doing OLD and yes, I'd choose getting my low reply/interest number over getting a bunch of inappropriate messages absolutely anytime. It has nothing to do with feeling attractive because those men messaging those women DON'T CARE, they just want a warm hole and any old one will do. How is that in any way flattering?

You overestimate what men will sleep with.

Will all men sleep with a 95 year old grandmother, a 600 pound lady?

If they messaged you, then they were attracted to you. Yea, that should be flattering to you. I think you just didn't think those men were attractive.

If some ugly woman (I really don't think any women are ugly, but just say) told me I was cute, yea it's flattering.
