I was checking out the ladies on OkC today...specifically ladies that are similar to me (age range, zip code, educational background, etc). There are a lot of pretty ladies! Guys shouldn't be complaining about the lack of attractive women in SF.
This is not directed at anyone specific, so please take no offense, this is just a reality check. For the guys who talk about how all the girls in SF are stuck up, unresponsive, not engaging, boring, etc, maybe it's you. Let's say these ladies are 7s and 8s while you (the guy being blown off/not getting responses) are a 4 or a 5, why would she respond to you? Or, read this post I wrote last year about ladies not responding to your emails.
You mean I'm not the only one who does that? The girls are higher quality than the guys here too. :/
ReplyDeleteHahaha, it doesn't surprise me when I see mostly red (replies very selectively) for the ladies
DeleteMen will do just about anything for the chance to date (read: sleep with) a hot girl! Sadly, once in awhile, their pathetic attempts are rewarded by a desperate girl.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the girls, they should know better, but they don't
DeleteWho the fuck complains about the lack of attractive women? It's more of a complaint about the high standards that are kept for online dating. It certainly goes both ways so i won't put this all on the ladies. But it is really bad from my POV. I'm a pretty handsome and well put together guy and I had a response rate of about 1 in 15 girls contacted.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone forgets that you can't just judge someone based on a bunch of profile pictures and what they say about themselves. I certainly learned that by being totally turned off by a lot of supposedly pretty girls I met up with.
BTW, I think your post is kind of mean. There's no need to say this sort of thing, especially when you obviously have a very specific set of standards. Your 7 or 8 might be a 4 or 5 to another women.
A lot of my guy friends complain that the girls in SF are unattractive. So insane, so many pretty girls on OkC.
DeleteThe guys I consider 4s or 5s (I think some ladies might agree with me on these):
Guy who is clearly 50+ and claims he is 37
Guy who has no education/no job/lives at home yet has three kids from three different baby mamas
Guy who says something creepy and grammatically incorrect without any capitalization, such as, "your sexy. wanna have some fun tonite?"
J, personally I can't speak to AG, but my comment above refers to creepers who send sexually explicit messages OR put zero effort in beyond "you're hot". In my mind, that is what makes them a 4 or 5.
ReplyDeleteObviously, it's a bit insulting receiving a message from a 50 yr old man who lives in Belgium.
I guess I should have put a disclaimer in front of that response saying "Hey I had to deal with my ex today, so I may be a bit mental". :)
DeleteI think online dating is rough and humiliating. For some of us it's more necessary than you would like it to be. For others, it seems like it's an open candy jar just waiting to be plundered. So I definitely sympathies with you ladies who have to deal with those jerk wads. I feel they kind of wreck things for everyone else.
Yup, Sabrina!
DeleteSorry, J and I agree, jerky guys and girls ruin it for the good ones
