Complaining about sexual comments on a sexual picture

[elaine567]

The average person is you guessed it, average looking. For that vast majority of people getting overlooked in online dating is really easy.

 

Yes and that is why most know their limitations and thus need to "add value" to their profile in order to attract any attention.

In the same way supermarkets do, a million plain chicken breasts may be difficult to shift, but chicken with chilli, stuffed chicken breasts, chicken Kiev, fried chicken, etc etc. is an easier sell, it is still just chicken breast but the "added value" makes it more desirable.

Bikini shots, glammed up shots, outdoorsy shots, shots with kids/family/friends/animals, cosy shots, formal shots, beach shots, foreign holiday shots, sexy shots all attempt to tell a story and thus "add value".

I think it's the men that are being recommended to "add value" to their profile. A woman's profile can be as vanilla as possible and she'll get a full inbox by the end of the week. lol

 

I put enough in my profile to "tell a story" the rest can be told if or when we meet.

If she's looking for quantity, yes, fine.

 

If she's looking for quality, she should also add value to her profile. Otherwise the quality guys will pass her by. I know i would (and I consider myself quality!)

Yawn...

Quality is what most women want not quantity.

If anyone finds a profile where a woman has chili on her breasts, now that would be worth posting about!

I would much, much rather go on traditional blind dates- as in people who my friends, coworkers, or even family members found for me to date- than OLD. People who know me will know what type of guy is a good fit for me, looks wise, personality wise, the whole package. Sadly, it just doesn't happen.

 

But that isn't a truly blind date. You got referred by someone. There are however many millions of single men out there - limiting the sample to draw from to 'acquaintances of decent folks' (which I assume your network are) is a great filter. As a matter of fact... that's how people have been getting hitched for centuries.

 

The value of an Online Dating site is PRECISELY that it attacks the problem of meeting someone in a way that you couldn't do through more 'natural interaction'. It makes it possible to passively look for X, Y, and Z. Honest question - why do you think Online Dating should be more like a natural human interaction? Isn't that what we have natural human interaction for?

Exactly. A profile is an elevator pitch.

You've not looked at my albums here, have you?

I'll bet everyone has now, though

x1, not much.

 

x100, quite a bit. 30 seconds per profile, it would take 50 minutes.

 

 

That's my point but I guess I was not awake enough to make it. Woman does not respond is because that is her saying no I will not go out with you.

 

 

I do not need her to type out a message saying: No. Because no matter how she states it, it's still a no and I'm still dating Mya Hand.

I could be wrong, but I thought a blind date was someone you know setting you up with someone they know? Getting referred by someone is a blind date, no?

 

I think online dating exists because natural human interaction isn't working anymore. Years ago, online dating was taboo, embarrassing to admit to anyone that you used, because it made you look a little pathetic. It was this tool that older, desperate single people used.

 

When we get past our 20s, we just meet less people on a regular basis. I have no idea why people in college today use online dating. I met guys all the time in college and did not even have to try to do so. If I had 1/4 the amount of single men walking into my life that I had when I was in college, I'd ditch online dating in a second.

 

Now that my social circle has become smaller- that happens to most of us as we get older, right? and I only interact with coworkers instead of an ever changing group of college students, and my social circle is all married, it's really difficult for me to meet single man naturally.

 

To answer your question, OLD should be more like natural interaction because it would simply be more efficient! If all of our profiles were- 60 second videos of us talking about ourselves, for example, we'd have a much better idea of who we were meeting online. We wouldn't waste so much time obsessing about if the person I'm about to meet on this date is the person I hope they will be based on their profile.

 

The biggest problem with OLD is that profiles are misleading in so many ways.

Depends.

 

 

Chili with chop meat I'll pass.

 

 

Chili with little cubes of steak. I'll be right there to help clean up that mess. Let no man say I shy away from the dirty, hard, jobs.
