They don't want a "friend", they want no-strings-attached sex, but they think if they say that women will be turned off.

Amazing how many men are uber adventurous these days. The skydivers, hang gliders, tiger handlers, water skiers, globe trekkers. Looks like every man online nowadays is some kind of extreme adrenaline junkie. But they want a "sweet caring great stable girl with goals" who will ALSO be an extreme adrenaline junkie with them. Those don't usually go hand in hand.

Where are the normal dudes who hang out periodically with the guys, but enjoy cuddling at home, Netflix and chilling with their chick (and taking care of their kids)? Do these men even exist anymore??

Lot of online men have wanderlust and brag about how they "often" travel the planet, which is great for them but horrible for dating. How can we date when you're always away? How do you have time to be a present good single dad when you're always away traveling the planet?

Last but not least, some guys online point out they're looking for something beyond a hookup. Yet when you message them, it's crickets.

Guys online are so lame. Online dating is a sham. It's terrible nod very conflicting. Talk about mixed messages! Men have no idea what they really want.



You want to know why these guys write that ridiculous nonsense? Because it works they are echoing the nonsense they think they hear women say they like. People are generally full of crap.

Undershirt, no dark shirt, no small fish. Anything else: F150 vs. Tundra, AT&T or Verizon?

"Small fish photos"?


The small fish photo is a play on the guys that post photos with very large fish. It is a tired attempt to be funny. We get the reference and there is no need to be funny in this manner.

And, please wear an undershirt under your dress shirt. If dress attire is not something that you wear often, there is no need to post a photo of you in a suit. Be yourself, we appreciate it.

Are we talking solid? Striped? Dark? Light?


Mostly, the dark ones. The oranges, burgundies, royal blue, reds, browns. They are usually paired with ties that are seriously out of style.

Men don’t take selfies while make strange faces every 30 seconds. The only decent pictures we have are from group outings.


Women know that selfies are a bad idea for online profiles. Men like you apparently don’t know that.


Women _do not_ know that. In a sample of a couple dozen profiles, there are all sorts of deal-breakers, including selfies. “Men like me”? I am a viewer of dc-area older women’s dating profiles.

NP here. Can you list some of these deal-breakers? I don't have a profile on any dating site yet, but I'd like to avoid deal-breakers.
"Older women" is how old in your view?


I am an older women in my 50s and selfies are fine as long as you look good. In on line dating a picture really is worth a thousand words. I get hundreds of likes and super likes on Tinder from 25-55+ whenever I let people see my pics and I state my real age, men don’t care. I also say nothing in the descriptions. Doesn’t make any difference. If you are female, don’t worry about being older. Just post good pictures.

I started looking at 40-year-olds a few years ago, now 50-60.
1. Selfies. Unflattering.
2. Professional poses photos, like for work
3. Rolling out of bed and frowning into the webcam. WTF?
4. Weight. Being 50 is one thing. We’re all soft. But also looking like a really fat American who doesn’t care ...
5. Hair. Maybe you’re a grandmother, but do you have to beat that into people?
Also, lopping off your hair. It makes you look older and less feminine. Why do women trying to date do that? Judi Densch never looked hot.
6. Very detailed profiles listing your love of crystal worshipping, mystic communion with shrubbery, etc. Off-putting.
7. Interest in a 3-way with Jesus. I don’t want to talk about Jesus.
8. Anger. I didn’t send you a dick pic. Treat strangers politely.
9. Looking for the One. That’s not me. I’m not more wonderful than the most wonderful man you’ve ever met.
10. Explicit requirement for $400K per year danger-seeking yachtsman. Good luck.

What's up with all of the older men wanting friends online? Are their social skills so inept that you cannot meet a simple female friend, or is it that you want dutch dating with a side of noncommitment sex?
