Heres something im curious about. People always say to send out a lot of messages to girls/women so that you get a reply from some of them. Play the odds basically.

What if you dont like that many? What if theres only 1 or 2 that you actually like??

You don't have to do anything, I find it's a confidence booster. Obviously don't message girls whom you don't like but you've atleast got to find them attractive.

How do you know you don't like them! Try not to judge people too harshly based on a profile. If there's even one or two things that I agree with on someones profile and they don't look like a whale I'd probably contact them. Who know's, we might end up getting on really well. Plus, a lot of girls I've met have been much hotter in real life than in their profile pictures.
 
The date is still on, Thursday :D

She actually reminded me about it if it was still on, good sign as i was about to ask her anyway
 
I'm bored of one liner openers now too, even from some good looking girls, you are messaging me why am I having to put the effort into the reply!

This ^, i do not message girls i don't find atleast bit attractive.. Pointless
 
heh?

Why would I message someone that i don't like the look of at all?, ever seen dating in the dark on sky?. Nearly every woman and man on that show felt they really connected to someone in the dark, a proper connection. The light came on at the end and guess what attraction played a part 80% of the time on both sides!.

I'll have you know that most of the time i do get replies to my messages, it's just the one liners that annoy me

? uhh well i'd have zero interests in common with them and they dont do it for me looks wise? (ie i dont think they look remotely cute/interesting)

Because the profile is all you got to go on so you gotta judge them on that? no? Otherwise you end up msging women you have no interest in? Just to see if they are different when you meet up??

I agree with the rest of your comments tho.
 
I'm just saying that beggars can't be choosers, but of course you need something to go on. I guess I'm just not as fussy as you guys, after all you know what they say: "they're all pink on the inside!" :eek: ;)

Putting it like that, what do you say to you current/prospective gf when they ask you why you picked them/why you are attracted to them?

Because they answered the msg? and the other 500 didnae? ;)

Not exactly the stuff of mills and boon ehh :D

I'd be honest and say, I thought we shared some common interests and you seemed like a nice person. I'm quite shocked that so many people think attraction is only skin deep...

Finding a girls personality attractive but not physically = friend.
Finding a girls personality attractive as well as physically = potential girlfriend imo.

Fair play the more you get to know someone and like them the more you might actually find them physically attractive. But hey, if you're going to be spending the next several years with someone you may as well enjoy looking at them.

And you can tell all that by a crappy profile photo?! I'm just saying I think people here are being waaay too fussy, especially considering they're on a dating website! But to each their own.

So you'd go out with someone of the same sex?, doesn't matter does it though because aslong as they have personality

:D:D:D
 
A big problem with online dating is that there are just so many people on there. You find one person, talk to them maybe for a while then someone else emails you who seems more suitable than the previous one so you talk to them and the other one drifts away. Rince and repeat over and over again.

I tend to only talk to one person at a time now until I know if they're what I'm looking for.

Went on a date last night which went well but there was no spark at all. Great via email, very pretty girl but no chemistry when we met.

Most people upload photos they think show their best side, so when you're not attracted to that then surely you won't like their not so best side.

As you say, each to their own. Being fussy isn't a bad thing at all. Why settle for something less than what you actually want? It's just a waste of energy and inevitable break up once you realize.

Because I keep seeing guys in this thread complaining that girls are doing exactly the same thing!!

:(

Ahh mills and boon. Love those books :D ;) I kind of agree with some of the above comments. You do have to have some attraction there but it can also grow with time. I do look at their profile more than just their photo.
