Men whom I have gotten messages, not flirts, usually write a decent message about their interest and things we have in common. They usually want to talk after the second message. I like talking because I can get a feel of their conversation skills, whether they talk, talk, talk, without asking much about me. I have gotten short responses to some messages that I have initiated. I let it go. I don't have time nor interest to try to converse with someone of few words. If he doesn't like writing, no problem, but at least invite a phone conversation. A man goes after what he wants, so short answers mean not interested.

The one thing that I hate are the men who view my profile 10 plus times without any communication.

Online dating is a pure numbers game for guys.

Also, the only point of online dating is to get an offline date. No exceptions.

For guys, a ratio of 1:100 response is pretty normal.

It's not a numbers game, and I've never met a single person that even comes close to 1/100 responses. They're butchering their attempts if they do.

They're probably treating it, idiotically, as a numbers game.

Insert literally any name of a famous male model or FOTM actor here, really.

I honestly don't know any names aside from LLCoolJ and Brad Pitt who have basically topped the hot meter for many-a-woman for decades or better. LLCoolJ probably isn't the "sexiest man alive" anymore though, which shows how much I pay attention to that crap anyway.

Guys are lucky if they get any responses from the average girls they message, while average women get their inboxes flooded. You know that right?

Also there're experiments done using pics of male models. I can't post here because they're links to other forums and would violate the rules, but I'll be glad to email em to you if you want. Basically an average guy gets no responses, so he make a fake profile using a pics of male models and the girls come running. lol

No I like average Joe's. I actually question it when a gorgeous guy suddenly takes interest of me.

To post a pic that isn't yours is plain dumb.
