I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are saying.

I think he is telling you that you are not doing true dating?

It was a rhetorical statement, trying to make a point that having a 'decent' profile doesn't cut it for the average man. Which is why they remain frustrated on websites for months on end.

Huh, I guess I don't know what it is. I turn my profile on (when I feel like dating again), get some messages, send some messages, make a few meetings and if something comes out of one of them then great. Simple. I kept my OKC profile up two weeks about a month ago, did four dates, and one has promise. We're going to dinner Friday (fourth meeting). Is that not a true date? I don't know if it will go anywhere, but she's cool.

Sure it does, or it does for the guys I know. But if you're profile isn't working, improve it.

Though, from the messages I see that my female friends get, it seems the real problem for tons of guys is that they seem completely unable to carry on any real conversation via the written word.

You may find a few nice woman that will genuinely want to see you, appreciate your accomplishments and your gentleman qualities without calling it " being thirsty". But for the majority, they have other intentions. Like entertaining guys online, seeing how attractive they are, " Just looking for convo online". I just don't know how successful of a relationship you can obtain without that person continuing to login into their profiles in contact with their "options". I guess I'm pessimistic but there is a reason for the vast amount of unsuccessful stories.

I know I sound a little negative. I just see woman and men getting emotionally hurt all the time on these sites. Very successful and loving people get rejected all the time. Allot of it is based on lookism IMO.
