Mary3 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Guys : Of all the profiles out there that you responded *Yes* or initiated to : how many girls actually responded ? If they did respond, how many emailed you consistantly and then followed up with an eventual phone call ? Of those , how many did you end up meeting ? Of those , how many ended up as girlfriends ? How many just wanted to be friends ? Girls you can answer this too. Curious as to everyone's on-line experience of success rate. ? Specifically men though. Curious. Link to post Share on other sites
AnHonestGuy Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Just recently I put up an ad. 5 women I sent a short friendly message to... None responded. I guess women like to read fan mail? Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Searching Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I have had pretty good success dating online. I have met a total of 6 guys. I usually get a response from 2 out of every 3 that I select. I don't never had my profile searchable. I have ended up dating 2 out of the six for at least a month and have become really good friends with three of them. I am actually currently dating man number 6. The only thing I hate about online dating is the whole taking down the profile stage. I dumped the last one because he was still actively searching. The current guy I am with is overseas now and still has his profile up but cancelled his subscription. He only checks it like once a month but it still drives me crazy but I'm not going to mention it anymore. I don't want to force the issue or force anyone to do something they don't want to do on their own. I guess this is more info then you asked for. Sorry!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Mary3, I think a good analogy would be the sperm and the egg. There are countless sperm, but only one seems to get through. I would say the odds are 1/20 women respond, and maybe 1/20 of the women aren't head cases. So my chances of getting something worthwhile are probably 1/400. Link to post Share on other sites
Jayhawks Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I tried it once and got hundreds of responses. I never responded to any of them as I don't want to do on-line dating. It was just a test. Link to post Share on other sites
Inthedark Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Well you dont have to date. Sometimes people are just messing around with people make online friends. Something like you do in grade school when they send your letters off to some foreign country. Later you are pen pals united by only paper. Some eventually become good friends and some never talk again. You have to make sure that the online chat was for dating or it was to "just be friends" because you know that it is scary on the www. You just never know. I had a friend who was friends with someone, and it just faded away eventually. You get to talk for a little bit, but nothing usually materializes.

Author Mary3 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 I've heard men tell me that girls post links to their own personal porn sites in the response letters . Has anyone had that happen ? I've never had a guy post a link to a porn site but I have had guys from Nigeria send long love letters to me and of course we have never met : Scam Alert Link to post Share on other sites

I put up an ad 6 months ago, since then I have gotten 103 views, 25 IM's, 43 Flirts, and 89 Hot Listed. However, I casually did not follow up on the majority of these girls because it seemed they were ALWAYS online just seeing if someone would respond to them. Which was kinda creepy/weird to me. This one girl who I have talked to on the phone from the site, at first it was cool, but then she turned into some creepy/obsessed person who called my cell phone at least 5 times a day, and text me non stop. She quite frankly scared me, and I asked Verizon to block her number but this current girl i am "dating" we have really clicked, and it shows, 4 dates in 4 weeks, talk to each other every other day on the phone, i try to keep it, if she calls me 4 times in a week, i try to call her 4 times in a week. however i am moving out to arizona to my own apartment to go to school, so this will be a true test for us. we have clicked so well, it just sucks that i am leaving on october 18th!
