i see you like to assume a lot of things… everyone needs a hobby.

could be a rich guy who got laid off.

im not even specifically talking about my situation, or even blaming anyone for anything. im just trying to get rid of these notions that wealth and height arent the primary drivers of generating dates online if your a guy. sort of a data observation.

for guys looking at grls its primarily how pretty the picture is i think. i think if you had 2 grls, one with a very pretty picture, one with an ok one, the one with the pretty picture will generate dates with a higher frequency.

“Must be functionally literate” seems like a pretty low bar to set doesn’t?

You’re more cynical than I am. Or possibly the women you’ve met are especially shallow.

I’ve never done any online dating. I’m just putting myself in the shoes of someone who would embellish their profiles and explaining what could be going on in their heads that’s making them do so. But I have met some exceptionally shallow women in my day. I’ll give you that.

once met a guy, who said he was unemployed, but had assets valued at over $800K. Huh?

Of course, if a guy lies that much, then it’s pretty obvious what he’s looking for. And doubly obvious that he ain’t getting it.

i spell fine when with grls, I do fine in person when i meet grls in real life. the online thing, i tend to get filtered.

i just happen to know to many obnoxious bankers with a lot of grlfriends and a few artsy types who are great guys who get no love.

im just trying to dispell a lot of warped out notions ppl seem to have about how this process works. everyone has preferences, its just best to not deny what they are.

well, im taling about tendencies not universal truths.

kind of missing the point, puli – she’s saying that not every girl does that, even if many/most do. basically – don’t generalise.

this is the kind of things that grls say. Im talking about what grls actually do. revealed preferences. You get a lot more dates if you are rich.
