Letter to the Editor:
Women Not Responding to Inquiries
This subject has been mentioned in other parts of
the website, but I was hoping that you could publish
this in hopes that there is some woman out there who
is dating online that might see the frustrations and
troubles men have with this.
Several years ago, I signed up for Match.com with the
expectation that I'd be able to correspond with, meet
and date other single women in my area. I browsed through
the site, sent out a few emails and cancelled my membership
after a month because I was getting no replies. Fast
forward to today (actually it was two weeks ago). I
decided that I would give Match.com another try now that
I've had some experience with the site and might better
navigate through it to get better results. In the two
weeks that I have been back on Match.com, I have send out
over 100 winks and close to 30 emails to various women
and have yet to get a response to one wink or email.
Women expect men to initiate
and make the first move, which we do, but being ignored
and not having emails responded to is a bit rude.
I know that women get a lot more emails than men do
and can't get to all of them, but most of those emails
aren't even genuine. A female friend who was on Match
told me that even though she got a lot of emails, most
of them weren't to be taken seriously due to sexual
propositioning or men emailing her from the far side
of the world. Personally, I take the time
to read women's profiles and to write a well thought
out email specifically for that woman. I'm not sending
out a blanket formed email that others do.
What I'm trying to understand is the woman's mentality
and approach to online dating. During my searches I've
seen the same profiles of the same women I've tried
to make contact with and a good number of them are
still active and looking for that special someone.
The
only thing I can think of saying to them is that
you're not looking in the right place and that email
from that nice guy is probably sitting unread in your
inbox. I consider myself to be a decent looking, intelligent,
well educated, kindhearted man and yet not one person
I have tried to make contact with has even responded.
If
you're still online searching for a nice guy, you
must not be doing something right because there are
more guys like me out there who would love to hear
from a nice woman. There's no excuse for not being
able to find a nice guy, we're not that hard to find.
