Re: what the fuck is wrong with me?

Yeah, I use my real age. To be honest, I find lying about your age on dating sites kind of icky - like, I'm not interested in a guy to whom that matters. And I wouldn't mind dating older, anyway.

And yes to the second question as well. I was on Match and POF at the same time. Whenever I sent out messages (your basic short, sweet, and showing interest in their profile, as recommended), I would get nothing back. Nothing. It's seriously been a year. It was so frustrating that I had to drop Match. All I got prior to this guy on POF were creepers. Genuine creepers, not just me being judgmental. There was the guy who had "breeder" in his username and went on about how he wanted to find a woman who wanted 10+ kids, or the 20-year-old who wanted pics of my boobs, or the guy who said some event in his life had recently caused him to become boring and he was looking for a fellow boring person. That's the kind of thing I was attracting. I've had friends look over my profile and pics, so I don't get it.

I totally get your point about actively making connections, I was just finding it really hard to actually do that :(

Well I don't know what to tell you. Most 30 year old men aren't looking for 30 year old women because they're ...well, they're assholes and sheep, when it comes down to it.

It's possible you would have more luck trying one of the specialty dating sites like Geek-2-Geek or similar where people might be a little more relaxed about that sort of thing, but on those large, general sites like POF you're more likely to find someone who wants to find a girl willing to be in a threesome than find a relationship.

That's a depressing thought, sigh. What about 40 year old men looking for 30 year old women? I'd be down for that.

I've never heard of that one, actually - thanks, I might look into it.

Re: what the fuck is wrong with me?

[personal profile] herpymcderp 2015-04-01 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
In my experience, most people are idiots about this. I get to be privy to all sorts of nasty sentiments a lot of guys have about relationships with women "over 30", and it pretty much extends to 50 year olds (who magically seem to think they'd ever have a shot at 25 year olds).

Unfortunately those are also the types of people who hang out on POF. So yeah, try a specialty dating website and hopefully that will yield a few guys who are more progressive about that kind of thing.

da
It disturbs me how many of the messages I get on dating sites are from guys 30-50. I'm 24.

Same, though I'm 22 and have set on my profile that I'm interested in guys up to 30.

Doesn't stop people older than that from messaging me. There's one guy (37yo) who keeps messaging me on OKCupid about every 3 or so months...

This honestly just makes me really judge men.

It also makes me judge men.

Okay, but why would you want to hide your age in order to snag an asshole or a sheep?

Re: what the fuck is wrong with me?

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Right?

As a wise person once said, "You need to make a few mistakes before you make the right choice."

nayrt

Uh... there's a huge difference between allowing for the possibility that you'll make mistakes (hopefully learning from them on the way) and knowingly, deliberately seeking out bad choices. Only a moron does that.

and the award for most petty deliberate misinterpretation of a post goes to...

So you're saying, some people really don't care all the continuous bad choices they make. Well, that's unfortunate for EVERYONE.
