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!




I don't answer messages that "show interest" in me, as my profile states I am no longer single and here for the forums.
The guys who either choose to ignore that fact or haven't bothered to read my profile don't deserve any reply IMO

I think some people both male and female send out an enourmous amount of messages/flowers out just "from the photos" without checking the profiles, even if they say "I like your profile" it doesn't mean they have read it doh And then when they get replies they "pick" the ones they are going to "bother" with ... doh

My partner and I met on CS applause But NOT using the "method" I just described!!!

I never send email to guys. I did send once, and never got an answer. I do answer everybody, and people who can spell at least on the same level than I can (I am an ESL, so a native English speaker should at least match me, even though many times they can't) they have a higher chance to contact me later.

What I don't like here though, is the sense of a horse market. "I like your pic and the rest doesn't matter" attitude. And I want more from a man than just like my pic. I want them to charm me, and truth is it's completely irreverent from how they look. I rather prefer an ugly but fun guy, than somebody "we look great together, but I am bored to hell".

And somebody mentioned that this is about volume. And that's right. But what's good with volume, that statistically you may have bigger chances to find the perfect one, and a "no" from somebody just means that you are closer to a "yes".

Now I have a real nice experience. It's hard to answer somebody when they hide their profile. :)

Or maybe he is busy shaving? :)
