brasileiro1: hey mike, i feel quite stupid and less cynical, because right after reading your advice, i recieved a message asking to meet for a date,hmmm.........maybe there is something to this online thing?(or maybe it was due to the newcastle?)lol! By the way i am still interested in a womans viewpoint on the subject. Eu amo voces!
If it was the newcastle then you know what to order her for her drink and alot of them lol. Good luck

This is just a heads up you sound a bit bitter and deperate in what you write. Three weeks is F all time really.

Maybe just relax and not expect to find your 'one' so quickly. Would you not find it better to get to know alot of people rather than jump on the first one that sends a mail or shows any interest. Relax get to know people what will be will be and if its not then there is F all you can do about it really.wine

Both men and women have choice we choose who we like and who we are not interested in.

I dont think its a matter of a woman talking to a guy and a new hoochie daddy pops up and then tells you to shove off.

See now that would be choice again if I want to think of you as a hoochie daddy and you choose to be a hoochie daddy. Then its a hoochie Daddy.

If I choose not to associate with a hoochie daddy, I'm sure my options will be in my favor, same for a male.


Dont ask me to repeat that.laugh laugh

alabamabebe: Ummm, that was directed more at the OP, and some of the responses to him. And I didn't read every post, but the OP had nothing to do with asking for advice, just the same ol' song and dance some of us been hearing for 2 years, nobody has jumped on me yet, so it must all be fake . You hadn't even posted your reply just above mine when I started my post, so really, it's not all about you. But keep that positive attitude, I'm sure it'll be real attractive to somebody.
Thanks, I will keep my positive attitude. And it is attractive to many lovely women. but I must say it sounds like you need to get laid and soon.

CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? You know I was going to do that. Choice,choose that is all there is. That is how we get to where we go. Now I dont choose to be a hoochie daddy but If someone see's me as one does that make me one.

brasileiro1: Im very new to online dating and i figured it was only for other people,but i decided to try it out anyway. In the span of a few weeks,i turned from bright eyed and positive to cold and cynical, i think the ratio of men to women is vast,in favor of the women. Now im no male model but i think i look decent, in great shape and fairly interesting but none of that matters as the women have such a vast pool of prospective suitors that unless you meet every little criteria that they have you have no chance! and even if you do its still 50/50 because someone cuter might come along and all you will be is a fuzzy memory. Now i understand with women even if you are remotely attractive you will get hundreds of messages and its hard to answer all of them(although you could probably weed out the pervs,weirdos and creeps)it might be nice to answer the articulate,witty ones with a no thank you please, what i dont understand is if you send a message out,saying i like your profile,why would you not answer back to someone you sent a message to!(unless you are an employee of the website posing as a person to generate interest). I have come to a point where i dont even care about finding love, how about just friendship,but that also seems impossible. I honestly think sometimes that half of the profiles are not even of real people. Now saying that I will continue to use this site because its free and the people in the forum seem like real,honest and interesting people. I hope to god im wrong about this but i dont think i am. (side note/ I still believe in love and try to stay positive!) Obrigado pra seu tempo! Boa noite!


The ratio's of men versus women isn't really the issue here - its about trying to connect and make friends with people (if it can get that far). That's why I've resolved to concentrate on making friends and if "love" happens then great - but as well, my heart won't be going through the emotional roller-coaster ride. Been there, done that and I could have a rainbow selection of t-shirts - that I'd rather not wear.

As for people posting in the forums and being more real than those who don't ........ hhm .... not sure why you say that. There have definitely been those who've posted who turned out to be fakes. Guess what I'm trying to say is to guard your heart, take your time, and more than anything trust your instincts. There are many good people here - just takes effort to get to know them, but it will be worth it.

hey,sxc, just a quick question, does it irritate women on the forums when random guys(usually unattractive) pop up with innuendos that have nothing to do with the discussion?
