You've got to be a fool to sign up for a dating website.

And you're a damned fool if you pay for it.

Agreed. I have had a few good times from it though :)

I said the same thing about dating sites in this thread a few months back. Decided to take a look and landed a few hot dates. I didn't spend $$ and I had fun. It's just another avenue to meet the opposite sex.

A fool you call me though.:hmmm:

I know that it's easier said than done, but you need to quit being hung up on your looks as you see them. Even the "best-looking" people in the world can find physical faults in themselves given a half-second.

Focus on the things that you're legitimately good at (physical or otherwise) and find women that appreciate those things. Additionally, stop wasting your efforts on women that you know you won't be compatible with, unless you're genuinely interested in developing platonic relationships with them.

Another thing that's "easier said than done": spend your energy on improving yourself for yourself. That's almost universally more attractive than the results of those efforts are.

A) She was about a 4/10.
B) He was about a 1/10 looks wise and had made her feel like shit for a good part of their relationship which lasted for four years.
C) Booze was involved.

It was like playing tennis with the net down.

Oh I did. And then she dated a guy who might be fatter than her ex boyfriend.

It's your attitude man. You could be handsome, lean as **** and the vag would dry up.

I ordered this book. Please make fun of me.

Following in the tradition of John Howard Griffin (Black Like Me) and Barbara Ehrenreich (Nickel and Dimed), Norah Vincent absorbed a cultural experience and reported back on what she observed incognito. For more than a year and a half she ventured into the world as Ned, with an ever-present five o’clock shadow, a crew cut, wire-rim glasses, and her own size 111/2 shoes—a perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. The result is a sympathetic, shrewd, and thrilling tour de force of immersion journalism that’s destined to challenge preconceptions and attract enormous attention.

With her buddies on the bowling league she enjoyed the rough and rewarding embrace of male camaraderie undetectable to an outsider. A stint in a high-octane sales job taught her the gut- wrenching pressures endured by men who would do anything to succeed. She frequented sex clubs, dated women hungry for love but bitter about men, and infiltrated all-male communities as hermetically sealed as a men’s therapy group, and even a monastery.

Narrated in her utterly captivating prose style and with exquisite insight, humor, empathy, nuance, and at great personal cost, Norah uses her intimate firsthand experience to explore the many remarkable mysteries of gender identity as well as who men are apart from and in relation to women. Far from becoming bitter or outraged, Vincent ended her journey astounded—and exhausted—by the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity. Having gone where no woman (who wasn’t an aspiring or actual transsexual) has gone for any significant length of time, let alone eighteen months, Norah Vincent’s surprising account is an enthralling reading experience and a revelatory piece of anecdotally based gender analysis that is sure to spark fierce and fascinating conversation.

I've seen a few of your post and they do ring true!

I made a profile on a dating site with no picture. Said all the right things in my profile - tall, active, employed etc. I then chose a few goodlooking ladies to message and wrote them a paragraph or 2. My message was polite and asked questions about their profile. Needless to say I got NO responses even though I could see these woman that I have written visited my profile.

A few days later I added a few pictures to my profile and what do ya know, I all of a sudden got messaged back by all 3 that I had messaged. It must be human nature because its all based on looks. I went out with 2 of them and dated 1 for a few months.

Dude people don't message anyone without pics. It is so easy to get simple ones it is assumed you are hiding something. Too many options.
