This is what you do Mr. Freak tell that league to go !@#$ itself and go on and do you. Its hard but you have find the chill folks among those rat race daters.

Also folks have always been superficial don't their list of demands.

Percent of women who have sex on the first online dating encounter - 33 %

Online Dating Statistics | Statistic Brain

During the five-month survey, which began in July 2002, 568 of the women met face-to-face with at least one man with whom their first contact was online. After taking precautions to ensure their safety during the first in-person encounter, 30 percent of the women reported having sex during that date, and 77 percent of those did not use condoms, Padgett reported.

Some men have to work harder then others to have dating success. We all don't have the same options, its the same with women

How do we know that survey-takers represented a broad spectrum of online daters? How do we know the respondents didn't self-select for those with a higher tendency to have sex on the first date?

If she says no, then move on to the next. Be yourself. If your of a different race than she is, it is no different than approaching a woman of your race. The exception would be a language barrier, but even that is possible to get beyond if there is enough interest. Maybe I am just use to confident and assertive men. I just don't get all of these lame and whiny threads.
Then keep dealing with confident assertive men and don't pay the ones who aren't no mind. It's hard for some people to find a date. Be thankful you can.

All the confidence in the world will still not be enough for SOME men to attract CERTAIN women.

Actually...I can believe it.

That's probably why it can be so hard for a decent woman to find a decent man online. Most men are just on there to get laid and leave.

Mod cut: Quoted post deleted.

It works for me. I am tall, medium and average, and as long as I hit a few of the alleged 20 qualities they are looking for I am likely to get a smile. Some of this smiles lead to dates. Some of those dates lead to relationships do some type.

It is a numbers thing, and of the approaches that don’t work out, sometimes it is the woman who loses interest in me, sometimes I lose interest in her. Some of those relationships are short and shallow, some are long term and serious.

Hardly an outrageous stat. In my experience its mutual. Heck, most ltrs I have had, including the partner I had for the last two years, started like this. There was instant chemistry and we explored it.

Of course I see some later on posts implying women who like to have sex right away can't be quality women, which is a sign of mysogyny.
