So they get marked as "that gal" in this case. .

I doubt they give a crud what you "mark" them.

They very well may be doing absolutely nothing wrong.

I was reading the comments section, about 20 pages of comments at the bottom of an online dating article of the evan marckatz site

https://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/on...age-2#comments

There must be tons of single people arguing back and forth, Some of the side of "Get the chip off your shoulder, and you'll have better luck" and some arguing the serious disadvatnage of online dating...where men rarely get responses, and the women get tons of emails they have to sort through.

A small minority expressed that they won't even touch online dating, because there's a serious hint of desperation for even exploring the site and the extreme focus on finding "The one' as opposed to meeting organically like our previous, pre-Internet days."

Count me among them, I suppose.

Good thing they are free to explore "organic" connections as well.

The same can be said of him. He just hasn't found his match yet.

Right, pot for every lid... you know..of all this hub-bub I kept posting about....I never had mentioned some of the women, though few and far between, that were genuinely attracted to me...and dated for a few months. Some were wonderful ladies. The last one was separated, so...there was an issue of her putting off the divorce. One before that was a great gal, but she wanted kids, I did not.

People aren't calling him wrong for wanting what he wants in dating.

They're calling him wrong for attacking other people for having their own criteria that for whatever reason does not include him.

Completely different things.

He seems to be too busy memorizing women's dating profiles so he can notice their updates and pass judgment. Priorities are out of whack if he actually wants a date.

Yes, he had dozens of posts saying he doesn't do online dating, meet ups was where it was at, yet he knows the status of hordes of profiles year after year.

Yeah when people's arguments and mindsets are disproved/fall a part like that....

It's time to stop the charade and face the truth.

HE'S the problem.

The fear of personal responsibility is real out in these streets.
