Well since I am writing a book on online dating this is what information I have gathered. Guys that are interested and dont respond its because one they are not honest in their profiles. They are here for entertainment and not actually looking for a mate or a date for that matter. Some dont even live in the US. Some are married and just want a computer fling. There are also those that you never meet because they cant. (The wife thing again). There are so many reasons and I have done a lot of research for over two years on online dating. Most guys dont have their xxxx together and can not be involved. Some are not emotionally ready for a date or a mate. These are all the things I have proven by on line dating. That is why you dont get a response. Or some are just plain rude. I hope you girls by my book when it comes out it will be my second and a best seller. You will remove your profile and look in the grocery store or the laundry mat and leave these fellas alone. lol Hope you guys dont take offense, but I have become and expert at this thing
Celina - perhaps your lack of responses over the last two years has to do with allowing a response to come through instead of fluffing your own feathers. Nothing you have said here seems to allow some positive words of encouragement to MS.care and love, but rather a publicity stunt . And seriously, if after two years I had been doing some "research, I would most certainly not call myself a so called expert". You might want to rethink the "most guys" line as well, since the ONLY place I fit into your categorical cut-up, chop-down is the fact I do not live in the U.S.......but I think my profile kind of states that. All the same, good luck with your book.
I'm a blunt, confident, extrovert. That is quite clear in my profile and I expect the same in someone that I may or may not connect with. My perogative. If someone sends an email with no questions to ask or nothing to talk about, then I don't have anything to talk about either.
I most certainly am not fluffing my own feathers. But have learned by how I have been treated. I only started the book after receiving such shallow responses. Which was only a few months ago. I have collected enough to put into a book so guys dont take advantage of women. Because there are many out there that do and will and until you have walked in others shoes dont judge them. Im not saying all guys are bad its just the way that most portray themselves and I have found that most are very dishonest. You dont tell people that your a business owner and are not, you dont tell people that your willing to drive to meet them and only own a bicycle. Its people like this I am refering to not to offend anyone or you. So I am not using this sight as a publicity stunt as you would call it just answering the womans questions with honesty.
I am not here looking for any hopeful relationship but maybe a friendship. But after doing this for a long time most guys here and on other sights are not honest. I can tell you many stories and more horror than good.
I never said I didnt have lots of research I said I only started my book a few months ago. What does it matter anyway. I was only giving the girl an answer if it offended you I am sorry.
Everyone gets a response, even if I´m not interested, or not been interested in a small talk. Isn´t it called fair play. Not responding is a weakness of the own personality. Why leaving someone clueless, or telling u have gone to far, or whatever the dislike is.
well i try to reply to all email and try not to be rude but heck you know i can talk for hours anyways i try to find something to rely with that is nice
I have been online dating for five years now and have found that some guys lie and some guys don't lie just like in "real" life. Some guys are creeps and some are nice and it is the same in "real" life. In fact, I have found that many of the dating relationships and friendships I have on here that do last are deeper and not just based on looks but on common interest and communication. My last boyfriend I met by chance online and we dated for a year. He saw me through some very hard times and was not a liar or a cheat but a very normal guy. Like everything else in life you have to make judgement calls. If you are willing to make those calls, then date online. If not, then you will not be safe or happy. Yes the internet is more anonymous but that's why some people use it. My question is how do you know that people did not respond for a certain reason? Did you ask the person? How could you if they didn't respond? Just a thought.
