Well Lou, sometimes we never get those answers...and sometimes the fact that we don't get a reply is all the answer we will get...so maybe rethink that philosophy......you are a nice person and someone rejecting you doesn't need to tell you that to make it true! Silly! LOL
It depends on what you put in that first email hon..she might not be interested or maybe her interest isn't piqued enough. I don't think it's a game, I think some women just don't answer because and I know this happens with me...I don't respond to men who do not fit the criteria of what I'm searching for. Does that make me bad?? No, it just means that like you and anyone else out there, we all have certain preferences and we know what we want and don't want, why waste time by responding to someone out of a politeness or courtesy when they obviously haven't read my profile before responding to see if they meet the basic criteria. JMO
You let your friend borrow the car, call an ambulance for the dying lady and once the ambulance gets there...you are free to take a nice bus ride with the person of your dreams.
I think it's time you looked at the types of men you may be drawn to or drawing to you. It used to happen to me all the time, I'd complain about the dirilects, bums and creeps that I'd find and whine about it. I realized that I was drawing these types to me by my behavior and signals I was putting out.
We all get tired and sometimes even frustrated by the "search" but if we want to meet someone...we can't be afraid to put ourselves out there...there's nothing wrong with you..just know what you want and don't accept any less.
First of all, if you take the time to actually read the profile of the person you are writing, you shouldn't just send them a copy/paste response, that's rude. A woman expects a man to take the time to compose an email the least he can do it to note something directly from her profile and spark an interest between the two of you....something to be said for originality right??? I don't know if something is too long or two short, nobody wants to read your life story on the first or even second email, we like to keep things light and impersonal until a rapport can be established. Not all women say one thing and mean another, I myself am very blunt, I will say what's on my mind and am not afraid and nobody can accuse me of being insincere! I don't want any man to become to over familiar or confident that he would overstep the boundaries of personal respect with me, a compliment is a compliment, but if not coming from someone I'm interested in or comfortable with...simply wasting your time and mine, why do that???
Hey Cardsfan...you have friends who care...we are here if you need to talk and anytime you doubt anything you gotta just come back here and look at this thread...I'd bookmark it honey!
Thanks honey...always glad to post on your threads..I hope this thread isn't relative to that man you've been tentatively speaking about..if it is..you and I need to seriously exchange some emails...I think the world of you two!
No Angelana.....my partner wouldn't be privy to any of that information. NOT because I have anything to hide, but because I've been spied on and bugged before by my ex husband and I know how it feels to be violated. I do what I have to do to maintain my privacy, somethings are open for sharing but personal things like that no way. As for the threads and blogs here...anyone can read what we post, they don't even have to be a member...all they have to do is come here and click on the "forums" tab and BINGO...it's free fodder for anyone who has a computer.
As for sharing mind and personal stuff..depends on what it is...everyone has personal things that should remain just that, personal.
So now we women are brainwashed and liars because we are NOT from Africa.......OMG...............You need to remember you are on a FORUM and a singles site to boot...you surely aren't saying anything in here to help your cause buddy!!!!!!!!
I am done, this guy is just going to continue this foolishness until we ignore him...moving on....have fun and good luck guy!
REREAD my posts please......they are all self explanatory. I don't condone males or females lying about anything, lies never get anybody anywhere. I don't think you can understand English very well, maybe that's why you have trouble deciphering someone's meaning. I don't know..but I'm very clear in what i post, if you can't understand it, I apologize.
I am honestly wondering whether or not you have an understanding of how relationships between men and women work or if you have trouble comprehending English? I'm not in anyway trying to be disrespectful, but you seem to be very, very confused. She said nothing of the sort, she was responding to another member and it has nothing to do with supporting a lying female.
I think you need to reread your thread Beyond....rereading and rereading isn't going to change someones opinions. You have started a thread and asked for opinions and you must be prepared to have some that differ from your own, it's just how it is, you should expect it and be prepared to defend your own point of view to those who would detract from it.
Notice this man also posts a thread, people respond and rarely does he come back and make any additional comments...kinda like another few on here...LMAO....oh well controversy makes the world go round and threads get locked...here we go again!LOL
yeah babs...I just get a certain "gut instinct" from reading his threads and it seems very anti-female....just my opinion and how unfortunate for him...lol
He said "a research" so who knows maybe he did his own research??? He should have cited his resources if he's going to put this kind of information out on a thread..at least provide the basis for which you gained this research....
Good point my friend.....and he wonders why he has no luck?? Look at his threads..not exactly designed to gain him a wide female "fan base" now is it?? LOL
Do you have issues with women?? All your threads are really becoming laden with a woman-hating theme. If you think we women lie on our profiles (like your thread from the other day) and now you come up with this kind of nonsense about some "research"....it just makes me wonder. Your research is fine if it is unbiased and if it doesn't allow for any holes to be poked in the hypothesis. You can think what you want but I truly believe from the tones of the threads you post that you don't like women and it transcends through the threads you make.
I'm just shocked nobody even came close to mentioning Randy Rhodes...OMG.......think of the opening to "Crazy Train"...he was just awesome beyond a doubt!
RE: do women need more than 1 email?
