that's a 9.5?????? holy sh!t i was expecting to see something a LOT better. dude, she would be called a whale around here. nice legs?? my ass. i can see how she'd be getting hit up on pof alot because most of those dudes are desperate, but in real life? i'd walk on by and never give her the first look.

9.5 on what, a 13 point scale?

lol @ robert

the butch dyke has some potential. if i took her shopping, got her hair done and had my wife do her makeup she would not be ugly at all. she is just very plain / natury type that doesn't put a lot of time into her look. got to do something about those hips though those pants are trying to make a prison break.


the nice leg girl just looks like the little starkist tuna mascot

and see that's the deal with online dating that's the rub. really really attractive women don't have to go online to find a man.

and the attractive ones that are there either 1. are bat**** crazy 2. have a airport terminal full of baggage or 3. are looking nothing more than confirmation of their said hotness or desirability.

out of our little social circle there are about 30 or so girls. 10 of them are what i would call datable and none of them have online profiles. the 3 who do have an online profile 2 of them are land whales and one is so crazy that she would not call a guy back becuase he kept looking ta her feet and she hates guys with feet fetishes. yeah. t his is what you are dealing with.

yet, I will bet you ANYTHING i own(I own some good stuff too, not junk so it's a legitimate bet) that said girl has a fetish that is 10 times as weird as some old stupid foot fetish. bet on it! she likely has a tattoo and pericing fetish on men, has a fetish about someting. whenever I hear a girl say she hates feet or guys with foot fetishes yet she spend hundreds of dollars on pedicures, nail polish, shoes, etc. the red flags go up. it's too common of a fetish amongst guys to view it as that weird yet its the one fetish that gets chastized the most out of any.

Guys just getting into online dating missed the boat. The golden years were pre-2010.

I used to line pof dates up in my sleep. Now, the same perfected profile and techniques yield very little results and it just isn't worth the time commitment or aggravation anymore.

I'm with you on that! I tell my friends that ALL the time. Online dating was pretty good between 1998-2005. Now it is more hassle than it is worth. Sure you can get a few dates & lays off of it, but only if you are willing to go 2 notches below your attractiveness.

For example, if you consider yourself a 6-7, don't expect much better than a 5. It is basic supply and demand theory. Online dating is a SELLER'S world and we ALL know who the sellers are.

If you're not sure, make a basic profile with an attractive female picture. Make a similar profile with a handsome male picture. Guess who gets more attention? I have done this experiment myself and was shocked at how staggered the odds are AGAINST attractive men online.

I put a male model's picture, but not one that was so good it looked too good to be true. Just a good looking guy in a believable picture that was not professionally done or photoshopped. I got ONE unsolicited message from a girl in the first hour or so. And the girl was pathetic, she was fishing for compliments. She was obviously attracted to the picture, but she didn't want to be the first to make a move. She was waiting for me to tell her how beautiful she was, etc, etc.

The female profile? I got 8 messages and IM requests within the first
3 minutes. After one day I had close to 50 messages on the female profile. The male profile? Still ONE. After this experiment I unregistered and never tried online dating again. Waste of time. I get more attention from girls offline anyway.

as some of you know i own a web development company.

ironically enough one of the projects we are putting the finishing touches on is a site that basically tells you what your level is. the premise behind it being this exact thread. you have 5's and **** trying to get 8's and ****. you rate 50 people and everytime you rate 50 people, the system will send you a picture of a woman comparable to what you were rated as so if you are rated a 6 by women the system will take a random 6 picture from a woman and show you this is what you qualify for. i will post the site when it's done

sounds like hot or not.com but with a tweak. it also used to be popular back in the day.

THAT is what a 8-9 looks like to me.

But wasn't online dating always a seller's market? Even back in 1998-2005? So what's changed since then? Still trying to pinpoint it...

I concur.

Women choose on online dating always. If you're an attractive male, you have better odds of winning, but the odds are heavily stacked in favor of women.

Women get to use paysites for free! Even sex sites! Men have to pay and get teased by women right before their membership expires!

A lot of men are using online dating because they have trouble in real life.

I have to be slick with online dating. I like older women, so I had to post my profile at age 43 to get those women. They say I look young, but I already know that they have entitlement issues.

If only I knew how to photoshop some 6 pack abs onto me, I'd be set!

as lot of it is where you live. when i lived in little rock i spun plates that i considered to be 6's or 7;s that now living in Cali for 4 years now i would consider 4's and 5's and would not give the time of day. still most looked better than those 2 pics though but not what i would call a 7 or 8. the girl robert posted i woudl give a solid 7.,5-8. very pretty not ass likcing hot or anyting. i would give my wife an 8 and when she really wants to put it together an 8.5

the only reason the girl I posted got an 8-9 score was because she's a freak in the sack and I'm biased I guess.haha but yeah if I didn't know her I would agree with your rating. she's not the best looking girl i've ever seen BUT I just wanted to make a point about what I considered an 8.

I do agree that most guys "fail" because they give up too soon. They're not willing to put in the hard work and persistence that it takes to actually get a girl who is good looking enough. 10 emails isn't enough. It takes 100's of emails, in my opinion. If you email 100 women, 5-10 will likely respond, and half of them will likely flake and never end up meeting you face to face. So you're left with maybe 5 dates, max, and of those 5, maybe one or two will fvuck you on the first date. But if you email 1000 women, then you'll likely end up with 10 solid prospects.

It's so simple: he who works the hardest succeeds the most. But most guys don't get this concept. And they fail at dating because they're just not willing to keep at it and endure many rejections and flakings before ultimately succeeding.

Any guy who sets his standards high and continues to cast a wide net WILL eventually land an attractive girl. Effort and determination and drive reap good things.

This right here is dead on too! Spoken like a true champ..Like a true warrior. If you have thin skin, you better toughen it up if you send out those messages. I am guilty of NOT following up as I should. I am trying to change that as I type.
I just had to rep ya man!

VK.com is nice. I have 1,151 friends as of two minutes ago. Only 10 are guys (6 Italians, three Lebanese, and a German). I get cyber flowers and cyber milkshakes from girls all the time What is cool about it is that you can create your own music library. Girls then post messages to you when they discover you are American. Russian speaking girls are so shy in person, but online they tend to be much easier to meet. Damn, I am sweating already just thinking about which Natasha will send me a cyber gift.

Know what shocked the s--- out of me? Russian speaking people know who Альф is. That is ALF to the rest of us. That cheesy 80's show is in full syndication in the Russian speaking world. Why? I had a retarded conversation with some Natasha about it today. She thought it was new!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NVr-vXIa-A
Who would have thunk in the 80's that one day Natasha would be watching this as if it was some hot new comedy. Eh, at least the girl is hot. I only communicate with the hot ones. The rest get the "hand".

The notion of "men are always as faithful as their options" is totally not true. I've had times where I've been seeing a woman exclusively and have been hit on by multiple women I could probably bang at the snap of my fingers but I chose not to.

I don't do this out of self-righteousness either. I do it because I have values.

 

[Robert28]

what I find funny with online dating, especially pof, is that 99% of the girls have fvcked half the site yet in their profile they write nonsense like "not on here looking for sex!" or something to that effect. it's like a car salesman smiling in your face and telling you he's going to give you a "great deal". so, they aren't looking for sex, but when you talk to them you learn that they've invited guys to their house to bang even though "they didn't know that's what he wanted" and are now jaded against all men because of it. so NOW they want YOU to take them on an expensive date and HOPE to get some puzzy by date 17....if you're lucky.:crackup: they tell you this bull$hit, no joke! so you ask yourself "I wonder why I'm having to play by different rules, make some kind of relationship promise to her, all to get the same @$$ that 50 other guys got and they spent not one damn dime."

in my experience the girls on line are God d@mn dumb. no common sense whatsoever, and me being an educated person I can't put up with such low intelligence. I just can't, it dumbs you down.

You aren't kidding. The chicks who frequent sites like POF and OkCupid are getting fvcked and chucked left and right. I wouldn't bother wasting time meeting trash like that. God knows who or how many c0cks have been in them or what addictions, mental issues, or diseases they have. Trolling POF is good to pass downtime. Meeting anyone off there? Only if you are convinced you can't meet people in real life or feel like playing Russian Roulette with your health for a 'date'.
