This is obvious.
Date: 2006-03-31 09:03 pm (UTC)As a "professional dater" .. I, too,
want to see interesting girls a second time.
You, Ma'am, are INTERESTING.
9 of 10 girls I meet... ARE NOT.
So, they don't get a second date.
In short.. this VALIDATES everything I've known ALL ALONG.
Girls are in charge.
If they want dates: they get 'em. Then, it's a simple matter
of then deciding who they want to be with forever.
It's really just that simple for women.
4, 5 dates a night is NOT outside the ballpark for women.
It *IS* for men.
For guys.. it's a HUNT. A STRUGGLE to get names, numbers
and GIRLS TO EMAIL ME BACK AT ALL. Out of 10 emails
to girls online, I got *ZERO* responses.
0 for 10.
ZERO.
I have this enormous calculator to figure out
how many girls I've communicated with,
how I got there, and how LITTLE they
turn into actual dates..
Then, the ones I talk with, I often
don't go out with mostly because they're
NOT INTERESTING.
*NO GIRLS* ever contact me.. (Actually, they do, but
statistically, it's about 0% of the population.)
Therefore, *I* do all the work in hunting and gathering.
In short... and not to poo-poo your good vibes here but:
1. It's EASIER to be a girl. They come to you.
and
2. YOU get to pick
and
3. You're interesting.
In short... it's awesome to be YOU
and it sucks to be a guy.
I've never, ever worked at something so hard in my life
for such LITTLE overall payback... (and, no I'm not talking
about s-e-x.) I'm talking about what SHOULD be happening
to me with all the EFFORT I've put forth thus far.
If I want to write a book on a topic I know nothing
about .. I CAN DO THAT WITH ENOUGH EFFORT.
However, getting 1 woman to email me back out of 10?
That's another story.

Date: 2006-04-01 06:54 am (UTC)also, you at least get phone numbers in bars. i do not. why? because i am not 6' tall, blonde, and a size 4. i could walk into a bar topless with a sign that says "available", and would not get a single phone number. so you do better in person, i do better online. also, instead of going for sheer numbers, i have gone the opposite route and gotten extremely selective about who i write to. maybe instead of throwing all of your energy into so many people, screen 'em out better from the very start, so you're not wasting your time?... i bet your ratio would be a lot higher.
