" Generally speaking, an average straight man will have to send 25 messages to women his own age procure one response, while the average straight woman will have to send 5 messages."
Interesting fast facts. There is quite a disparity.
I assume the stats are similar for "old school dating." Where a man would have to approach 25 different women to get 1 response or acceptance to dinner.
This is why I tell people that dating is "not like the movies." It takes a lot of patience in persistence. For example, I've swiped thousands of profiles to finally meet 1 where we've worked out. Was it worth it? Yes. Was it easy? No.
I love online dating and have had a lot of great experiences on it, but I dont get why people join these apps just to chat and never actually meet up. It's very dishonest and wastes people's time
Because of that I now have a "two strike" rule. If someone doesn't wanna meet up two times, I just stop messaging them

The thread isn't about the initial approach, it's about the people who chat with you making you think you might actually have a chance.
Anyone, man or woman, who gets a message on OLD, and responds as if they might be interested in meeting when they have no interest in doing so from the beginning, is just messing with people.
That's not to say someone can't start to engage in a conversation and quickly realize the initiator just isn't for them. But faking interest in the beginning when you know you have none is just mean.
And if men are responding a lot more than women, it's not a stretch to imagine that men engage in conversation with women they really have no interest in.

It's the same difference. Nothing is for sure until you're on a 3rd or 4th date. Any point before that is a toss up. The vast majority of people don't get past the 1st date.

A response like "Hey, sup, we have zip in common and I'm old enough to be your dad but here's my D pic"?
Women have just as much difficulty getting QUALITY responses.
Guys will bombard women they are in no way a match with. A couple convos later the woman realizes this and starts the slow fade. She may have started out hopeful of meeting. It is not necessarily that people like to mess with one another. I am sure that happens but it is doubtful that that this is MOST women's MO, like some sort of pre-planned thing.

Not the same. If you're chatting as if you intend to meet up at some point, but you never had any intention of doing so, you're messing with the other person.
I had plenty of dates that disappeared after 1-3 meetings, or I expressed to them I wasn't interested in seeing them again. But I never continued to engage in conversation with someone I had no interest in meeting in person period. That's just wrong and a waste of time.

That isn't just women. There are plenty of men who pull this nonsense as well. Some people are just liars and flakes. To me, it is hard to get excited about someone you don't know enough to care about, I guess.
Ahh , any so called stats are crock at the end of the day.
Just read any singles forum or talk to girls you meet, just look around. In the long run there's just as many women that get absolutely nowhere often after years and years, as any guy.
2 million dates mean nothing , all that does is waste most peoples time male or female and adds up to nothing in the end , just frustration and burn out.
l was only on one a few mths but l met to me the picks of the pretty shytty crop , but even they'd all had nothing but bs , no relationship or marriage , not even close, lots of burn out though.
The chat thing yeah , dunno , l only bothered with a few very special ladies , l'd hoped , talked and called and met 2, the others it wasn't worth worrying about in the end.
Sounds like both end up talking to lots and lots of frogs though.
l noticed a lot on there probably just out for a bit of ego stroking too.

They're using it for attention, validation with the feint hope of finding the guy of their dreams on there which the average Joe's sending them a hundred messages a day aren't.
As a woman when I was doing OLD if a guy sent me a message I always responded even if it was just to say that I didn't think we would be a good match.
