This is why apps don't work for women. Every woman is entitled to a guy who's a 9 or 10, but those guys aren't on the dating apps. We need a different system for women. |
The apps are geared to make people avoid good matches and keep you single so you use the app longer. There's no regulation of apps like that. Most are scams. |
I’m the pp you quoted. I can’t tell if you’re being serious or sarcastic. People exist on a bell curve. Most people are inherently below a 9 or a 10, due to the nature of a bell curve. I’d say I took a 5 and turned him into at least an 8. DH needed a haircut, facial hair, and a new wardrobe. He was a winter wearing mostly summer colors and he looked ill. His OLD pictures were old and unflattering. DH’s personality had always been a 10 for me, so I’m glad I was able to help his outsides better match his insides. I would have married him if he’d refused the makeover, but I’m glad he was flexible. Moral of the story? Just because you can’t score a 10 doesn’t mean the guy isn’t worth dating. What constitutes a 10 for one woman won’t constitute a 10 for others. |
My nephews are late 20s and are turned off by the large number of Hos on the apps. Some real crazies and many that have slept with 100s. |
Yep. And banging all of them |
You assume a lot. I never sent copy/paste messages and always responded to something she wrote in her profile, along with maybe asking her a question about something she wrote or a photo she posted. It doesn't matter, those are the odds. A erll written, thoughtful but brief message that shows I read her profile barely helps with those odds. |
I makes no difference at all. You will get a phenomenal response on any dating site if you post even one photo and barely fill out two words of your bio. That said, I'd stay away from Plenty-of-Fish just because it sucks. If I were a woman, I'd probably look at Bumble. |
The reason for this is that every single woman is getting spammed by 300 guys, and that means each guy has to spam hundreds of women to have any hope of a response. There isn't enough time to craft an individual message to each woman, and she's not going to read it anyway. |
As the product of a single mother, and as a father myself, you and these studies are completely full of feces. Fathers are essential to the proper development of sons and daughters. |
But what was your score when your DH met you? |
The entire post you quoted was sarcastic. |
DP. Wow, you just keep digging that hole. |
DP, but you missed the joke/point. That poster was obviously saying how all women, even those 1/10 think they deserve a 8/10+ guy, due to being raised in a culture of participation trophies and being told how special and great they always were. Women, and men, have too high self-valuation and never realize that no matter what they think they rank, it's usually well below that. If one were to ask 10 random people to rate them 1/10 to 10/10, the majority of people will rate a person 7/10 just to be polite, unless one is really a 10/10 in perceived attraction to them. Side note, sure looks are subjective, but when talking large sample groups, they really don't become subjective anymore as outliers are eliminated. |
That's true but I always do. It's not a long message but enough to show I read her profile, picked something out of it and commented. Tried to engage her with a question. I'll sit down and write maybe 20 women then leave it alone for a week. In that time, most of the messages are not even read. In 2-3 weeks maybe half are read and usually not not one has responded. I've had women friends look at my profile, help me edit the bio, select better photos. It just is what it is. Dating sites are terrible for men. |
Really? What studies? Especially for boys, lack of a father figure is a real detriment. I've dated many single women with sons and they are clueless how to raise a young man and it shows. I won't even go into what lack of a strong father figure does to young women but we see the results all the time. |
