What kind of logic is this?
I interpreted that as thought she DID meet him for coffee and realized he wasn't for her so no more messaging for weeks. If I'm wrong, and your interpretation is right, I agree she is an idiot.

I met him for a quick dinner at a chain restaurant after messaging him for a few days. I was already going to eat, so it was only 45 minutes out of my life. On messaging he was fine, in person was totally different. Glad we figured that out early on.

Don't count on it. Any guy that's desirable is currently being used and abused by some other women. You have to be patient, and wait your turn for another sucker to come on the market.

Maybe I am too nice and I should use and abuse men to get them to want me.

6 weeks is paltry span over which to fret; 6 years, perhaps, and then there's cause for genuine concern. None of the OP's demands are ridiculous or exotic. My only recommendation to the OP, besides perseverance, is to consider whether she might not have some superficial requirements that are hard to articulate but which nevertheless influence her choices. We often pause where stop-signs don’t exist, befuddled by a worry of our own creation.

I have lowered my requirements significantly in the last 6 weeks. Hoping that if we message maybe I will like them in person.

It is really quite necessary to spend lots of time on the dating sites. I only get messages if I am actually online.

I four starred some potential dates that I was interested in and of course, they do not message me. But at least I am not typing out messages and being ignored.

I wish there was a way to just block certain age groups or complete races.

I just had to be less nice and just put in my profile that I am not attracted to obese, old guys, or young men still living with their parents. I did not know how to tactfully put that I do not date black guys, ever, without coming off as racist. I really am not. I am just not attracted to them.

I wouldn't put that, IMO negative statements like that may turn off men you DO want to meet (I don't like when men have a "I don't want this or that" list. Just put what you do want, and if guys write you don't want to meet, just say thanks but no thanks. I would not gear my profile though to what I don't want.

I don't write my profile in a way to keep away unwanted men, but rather to attract good men. What's the big deal about just saying no thanks if an obese man writes you?
