Sure. And when men actually grow a pair and stop putting themselves out there as punching bags for women, only then the tides would change. Too much putting it on a pedestal here. I'd rather go through my life single than dancing to the whims of a little princess or women looking for an ego boost.
I saw it at the gym last night. Actually, I see it at the gym every night. Some pink little butterfly prancing around in an outfit one could fit into a matchbox, clearly hanging around the weights area, putting on a show for the boys, whilst expertly ignoring them at the same time. What goes through the head of this girl is something I silently wonder. What goes through the heads of men falling for this pathetic charade is something I'll ALWAYS wonder about. She tried making eye contact with me a few times but I'd rather would've stuck red hot pins through my testicles than look at her.
It's up to all of us to find the REAL women which there are millions of out threre and ignore the empty-heads looking for an ego massage. But sadly it will never happen as men, well, are what they are.
Very interesting, thanks for your take on things. I guess to summarise, guys need to go around approaching loads of women and forge a skin as thick as leather until Miss Right appears
No, you don't. Makes it sound like you just roll up to any rough old dog until someone licks.
But have you read all my posts on the previous page? I hate the thought of going through life constantly massaging female egos until one bites, I think its out dated, pathetic and should change. However, we've established even from the limited females here that they "already get enough messages" so don't waste their time actually looking for someone who might be right for them.

In my opinion the social networking era we are in has just made things worse. It encourages ego massaging - the number of messages received, visits to your profile page, "friends" added etc. That has become the main focus for too many girls ( men too if I'm being fair ). You only have to read this thread to witness that.
It's all very strange really. In this world, where there are now more people than ever before you'd think that the chances of meeting someone with the right chemistry would be higher. But, are we all becoming too selective, believing that with the vast array of choice available, something better is always around the corner ?

Yes, and the world has never been more alone.
So, don't massage then. Focus on making your life genuinely cool and interesting and fulfilling. Don't give a **** whether you attract a partner or not and before you know it, they'll come.
Sex in the OcUK ?
Who's going to be the leading cast then ?
I want to be that slutty blonde.
I hope you're not including me in that sentence because I'm not on a dating site at the moment. My comments have been my past experience on match.com. yes I didn't always send the first email but that's because the guys had either sent it whilst I was working or they were not my type so I had no reason to initiate contact I.e. they were too old. But I always replied and said sorry not interested etc.
I used to spend ages each evening searching, messaging and actually putting some thought into it not just sending one liners and I either had no reply or we chatted for a while and it fizzled out or we went on a date and it didn't go anywhere. but if no new guys have joined what am I supposed to do..message the ones that don't appeal to me just so I'm not seen as a woman looking for my ego to be massaged?!
I honestly think some of you look into this too much. Its all part of the game. See a girl I like the look/sound of, message her. Messages from people I am not into? Just ignore, that's what they do to me.
And for gods sake don't put all your eggs in one basket!

Sound advice.
Without Stereotyping I did put vainly on my profile "Without making myself look rude (which it probably does) I don't particularly find the 'you've been Tango'd' look that appealing 
"
To which I've scrubbed now as it does make me look slightly weird haha

To be honest, the vast majority of women's profiles that I see only include pictures of themselves dolled up for a night out. Unless they dress like that all the time it doesn't give that good an impression really as you can't tell what the person is going to look like for the remaining % of the time! I'd quite like to see what someone looks like when they get in from work, for instance, something a little more day to day...
Dude seriously when you say this you sound like a bit like a spoiled child who cant get his own way. The fact of the matter is that girls get much more attention from guys than vice versa - it's always been that way and it always will be! Might as well get with the program, man up and just talk to a few (whether that be online or in real life). If you don't want to, then fine, but unless you're brad pitt enjoy being single forever!
Edit: To be quite honest, it sounds like you have a confidence problem. If that's true then even if a girl approaches you it won't change anything...
Yay another message on pof!, i'd say for every 5 messages i send out 2 to 3 reply... However those 2 usually end up as one liner girls
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??
