They all say oh I want a long term relationship and to fall in love. They seem sweet, you meet then only thing they want is a booty buddy. That has been my luck since trying this online dating. So how do you sort through the guys that really want a relationship from those just claiming they want it? An why not be honest from the start, that way I wont waste my time or gas in meeting you.


As a guy who really is (was) looking for a long-term relationship, let me just say that there are big problems for those of us on this side of the fence, too.

And the issues I've had all seem to revolve around honesty, too -- they tell me they want the same things I want, UNTIL the relationship has progressed for a few months, at which time they start trying to change me.

You're right when you ask "Why not be honest from the start?" It's a valid question, and I don't have any answers. I just know that it doesn't seem to be out there.


I think the problem here is that women are taught that we have to be sexy and appealing in order to attract a man. Men, being primarily visual, focus on the picture rather than the words. So if you post pictures of yourself in a bikini or on a bed, a man could potentially see that as an invitation for sex right away but as a woman, its a way to "stand out" and get noticed.

Because dating is about looks. You can be perfect on paper but if you don't have the look, men and women alike won't respond. Being a plus-size woman, I know what you mean. It is hard to have someone email you and be interested and then they see what you look like and because of that they stop talking to you. I have had that happen to me many times.
