So because I assume that something may be better when it is something that I have not experienced yet and you obviously have, makes me one who thinks like an average rational male? You know what, you're probably right. No matter what, I don't want to give up thinking that there are some decent women out there.
This website has opened up my eyes for sure about low quality women, and I noticed them and can screen them better now. I see the women who watch E! network 24/7, do nothing with their lives, and expect men to crawl all over them, which the average males will. However, a lot of folks on this board are borderline misogynists, using women simply for a quick fvck, and then that's that.
I still believe that I will find a good woman one day, I had one before I found this site, but I was too immature to realize just how good she was. They do exist. Not all women are the same, it's just that society is transforming a lot of their lifestyles and beliefs towards feminism. However, not all women are so easily swayed, and I have met a few women here and there that are genuinely cool, easy going, and don't believe in holding the cards, controlling the power in the relationship, or getting one over on you. 9 times out of 10 these chicks are taken and won't give up their boyfriend if they are really in love with him, which is great in a sense because I would expect that to be the case if I were dating them. Not all chicks are evil and not all of them are looking to fvck you over.
I have never tried online dating so based on the steps taken to enroll in such a service, my theory was that women would be a little less likely to flake. And I even wrote that low quality women and flakes would still be present in that type of atmosphere, except that I believed that flaking wouldn't occur as often. I never said it wouldn't at all.
Besides, it seems like a better route because you can be pickier and narrow down low quality women like I stated. If you see a dumb profile about a girl talking about all of the shows she watches and how she loves partying, then you promptly move on. It could take a couple weeks or a month and some money and time spent on dates with a girl to finally find this kind of stuff out. (Although you would spend money on the dating service, yet I am willing to bet it would be considerably less).
Average males think about one thing: pvssy, and they will do anything to get it in order to boost the quality of their shallow existence or cover up their insecurities, rather than living a purposeful and meaningful life. I have had plenty of sex, and am at the point in my life that I am looking for a quality woman to be in a relationship with. I have been making attempts lately, and it hasn't panned out due to my environment (mot plentiful enough), meeting low quality women, or simply me just blowing it. So I am pondering up different approaches, with online dating being one of them.
I was also suggesting to the OP that if he, like me, lives in a small town, this could help broaden his horizons a bit, although I do not know if he lives in a small town or not. Based on all of the above reasons, I suggested the world of online dating. So, after this unnecessarily long explanation, I wouldn't consider myself to be anything close to the average male, but whatever, broad statements from people who I don't know doesn't bother me. When you said average male it gave me a lot to write about, because the average male I know doesn't care about relationships, and if they were to use online dating like I suggested, it would be plentyofish or some other free service in order to get ONS's in order to avoid putting forth much effort.
PS. I find it wildly unlikely that a woman would pay money to enroll in a dating site in order to get attention. They get attention every time they leave the house. Unless she is disgusting, at least once during the day, a man will check her out. Also, to the OP bulletproof, you said on match.com that the women that contacted you were busted or weirdos. That's like a woman at a bar coming up to you, usually they are going to be fatties or busted. That's usually the natural order of things. However, if you approach them or seek the one you want out, then you get what you want. Most girls who approach you are either ugly, fat, slvtty as hell, or something else is horribly wrong with her. Most of the time.
