Online dating is a mystery. I don't get it.
I don't get it when you have your preferences listed and then someone the age of your grandpa or a person lacking intelligence responds: "i c u look cut, how ur day?" No.
If you specify you are interested in a relationship then someone with a profile heading of (beatitupallnight) should not respond to your profile. I'm just saying. WTH
Goodluck with the online dating profile, I can't do it.
My thoughts, when you are serious hire a matchmaker.

I'm upset, because I begrudgingly agree with everything you just said. I've met mental therapist online who seemed to need therapy themselves. I've met women who on the surface appeared highly intelligent and attractive still logging into their online profiles 6 months later. I've met women who seem to want an honest and sincere relationship tell me how their last 10 dates did not go well due to lack of chemistry. Sometimes the only girls that seem to have their sheet together for the most part on these dating sites are the ones who just weren't blessed with good looks. Just my 2 cents.

FWIW...

I am being informally exclusive with someone by choice right now, from OKC, and yet I still log into my profile often. Why? Because (and I told him this) there were a few people I'd met, that while I wasn't quite close enough to want to give them my phone number, and we weren't compatible as dates, we had good friend-level convos, and those people were content with that and still wanted to chat, so I'm using it as a form of social media. One guy wound up going back to TX and reconciling with his wife, they are exploring some stuff together to keep the spark-a-burnin, and I'm totally in his cheering section. I met him one time and he was a really nice man, and I was hoping everything would go well for him. I don't mind staying in touch (assuming it's not an issue between he and his wife.)

I have now put an update on my profile that describes my current situation, how I'm not so much looking for dates or sex at the moment, why I still have my profile up, etc. Also that I am always down to make new friends if anyone is just wanting to expand their social circle.

I'm getting far fewer messages now, which I guess goes to show that guys do read profiles, at least the first little paragraph's worth. I'm honest. I'm not trying to waste anyone's time.

They won't. Why? Because this is the social life of last resort for some folks. So, enjoy the raw sewage dump you choose to swim in or get lost.

I'm trolling around POF in the other tab and here's a winner for you:

"Also, I spend more time focusing on working out than trying to find a relationship. Just a heads up."

Defense mechanism? Yeah, probably. Women don't want to be seen as taking OLD seriously no matter how many OLD profile coaching types tell you otherwise. The stigma is still there and the classical "I can't believe I'm doing this!" or "A friend made me do this!" still shows up to prove that point.

OTOH, to someone who takes that line at face value (well, it was one line of her three line profile...three very short lines, mind you), why would any guy seriously looking for Miss Right bother? Especially, since although this example ain't shabby to any extent, she ain't a bodybuilding competitor type, either.


Intent is looking for a relationship.
