I think online dating is rough in general. It'd be too easy for me to say girls have it pretty rough on the dating sites, even if they are free for us, but men have to pay. (Not really fair there.) The minute some of us log on to these places, we're getting hit with messages from men 20 times in under a minute. And more than half of the conversations start with "will you sit on my face" or something else sexual if they make past me responding to "Hey". Nice guys get overlooked.
Men have it pretty rough knowing which girls are ok to approach. I've been catfished before, so I know the struggle behind that. I now have a few funny stories to tell on the bright side. But I've heard guys complain that the girl was "too pretty" so he wasn't sure if he should approach her. Her pictures were "too good" so he assumed she was fake. Or she's a tease. She's looking for money/ a sugar daddy. She leads him on instead of saying she's not interested.

Getting the link to work involved deleting the extra spaces, so I'm posting the link here again. He made me laugh. I think he's at least partly right. But the situation isn't quite as dire as he presents. I'm neither a player nor a creep, but I find my moments to approach. Then again, the women I approach are women I've had at least a bit of interaction with already. I guess what he means, perhaps, is the dating equivalent of the "cold call." That's true - I don't often do that in person. But is that what we're expecting of each other?

Dang!!! Even when I repost, even when putting it in "Add Source", the site inserts extra spaces.
