Next time, try including "Free Lobster Dinner" in the title, OP, and see how it goes.

The word Afraid is to catch a woman's attention


It worked. You got attention, just not the kind that you wanted. laugh


Your right I was hoping for intellectual responses, who may add to the whole benefit of online dating


If you want intellectual responses, then offer an intellectual OP with an intellectual title. :tongue:

I agree. The only word "Hi" do not catch my attention when reading profiles either.

Facial features are generally not important to a woman as much as personality features.

Let's see...sometimes the role of man approaches women still may lay in the hearts of many ladies...perhaps some women feel that they may appear to aggressive or desperate...then there is the possibility of the man feeling that because she approached him she wants a sexual encounter...then there is the underlying fear of rejection...yes ..I used the word fear...but all in all I think its really wether or not you've caught her attention..sorry but that's about as intellectual as I can get...hope you have a wonderful evening..flowerforyou

OP....facial features are actually important and so is the personality and the character in a person. Firstly, if your profile pic is interesting (not as in must be a handsome, pretty, gorgeous LOL) and you write intelligently in your profile, that would be a plus point to getting a response. And definitely just a single 'Hi' in a letter will get a 'no reply' from me.

There were a few people who did give a quantitative response that was purposeful in understand a womans approach, or preference.

I am not being presumptuous, although wondering why women will search a man's profile, but rearly if ever send the first introductory letter to a man?

Not every profile is interesting to a woman understood.




Not every woman is as you described here. If you want women to contact you first, you're going to have to put more effort into your profile in order to give women something to contact you about.

I just watched a squirrel actually fly from one treetop to the next. Mind officially blown.

Was it red, grey, or black?


It was TOO fast to tell! :cry:

it truly is on an individual basis, so hard to generalize and be accurate at all...

but those who have dated more no doubt seem to approach much faster and with seemingly all ease...

and less so those who have dated less...

so guess it really boils down to what one is looking for in the opposite sex, each at their own particular junction on the journey...

and to structure the profile to only be attractive to the type of person one wishes to actually be involved with.

anyhow.

Was in shock for thousands of seconds. Thought it was the squirrel version of The Flash.

Here is the OP:

Not every profile is interesting to a woman understood.




Please notice that the author of the OP didn't say "many women" or "most women" or "all women". He simply said "women".

Granted, I consider the inquiry to be a bit clumsy if not weird.



In English-language writing, if there is no quantifying qualifier in front of a noun, the "all" is presumed and understood.

I was cutting the OP slack by allowing the missing quantifier TO be "many" or "most" instead of the understood "all".



In any event, not a single single woman has indicated "fear" is the reason.

Using a qualifier would limit the individuals the topic is addressing. I was not trying to exclude any individual from expressing their experiences.

You made presumptions, not me. I noticed you also missed punctuation yourself. Any complaints about your imperfect gramatical skills.
