Every 3 years or so I will get back on online dating for about a week. I usually do it at the behest of my guy friends. I have never had to patience or the extreme good looks for it. I am an average looking guy. One thing i have noticed though is that the response rate for the international website is a lot higher than the American dating sites. The girls also look much cleaner and more attractive. This should give us men hope. What we are witnessing in the United States is not the true nature of women. This is a perversion of true femininity. A truer reflection of women is how the women on international websites act. They are more down to earth and it doesnt take 100 messages to get them to answer. The response rate is probably around 30% if not more. Its a much more pleasant experience on Interpals vs plenty of fish.
