because on dating sites women get bombarded with messages and to be completely honest it's easy to sift through the sea of average and take notice of the better looking guys. Yeah it's not fair but that's life, good looking people have an advantage when it comes to dating.
I gave online dating a try and I think I only replied to like 5 people in the span of a year because most messages were very generic and bland, or they didn't have a profile pic, or they didn't bother typing out a bio etc. If a guy sent me something truly witty and funny and had a good bio to back him up then I would totally give him a shot even if he wasn't the best looking guy. But a boring/generic bio and just kind of meh in the looks department? Pass.
Just accept that no matter who you are or what you look like someone out there just isn't going to be into you so buck up and move on to find someone who is.
Personally, when I was on a dating site back in '14, I would give anyone a chance even if I wasn't really all that physically attracted to them. For me a strong, passionate emotional bond made me more attracted to their physicaal appearance than any guy I thought was "hot" the minute I saw his picture.
When I first saw the guy who ended up being my first boyfriend I thought he was ugly.
Current husband? I thought he looked mediocre at first.
I think sometimes girls on dating sites have trouble realizing sometimes attraction comes after an intense emotional bond. Unlike men where I think physical attraction helps pave the road to emotional attraction.
Maybe he shouldn't wait 2 months and put up a picture right away so that the person can decide instantly if she is attracted to him or not... Plus if the person is that shallow to not like you after having liked you for 2 months, then maybe that person doesn't have as great personality as you thought... Better to get rid of her and find someone who will indeed find you attractive!
Beauty IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER ;)
Simple I don't date online!
The women that date online are typically made up of the women that are so picky that they have ended up alone. Dating is so much easier for women, that they get to sit back and be picky, to the point they often price themselves out of the market.
These same women don't understand that while women raise their standards for sex, men lower ours. Nor do they realize that when they lower their standards for a relationship, that men are raising our standards. As such these women don't understand their true value at all, which is why you see 350 pound women online saying she is looking for a relationship, but the guy has to be at least a certain height. Most of the women online think they should be able to land the same level of guy for a relationship, that they can get for sex, and it just doesn't work that way for the women that end up online.
Women using dating sites get hit on by so many guys who are just trying to get a quick lay that they become slightly delusional about their own looks and their "standards" become inflated. And you can't blame them that's the thing. There's too many sharks circling.

Difficult to answer really.
On one of those dating apps, I get tons of Likes but most don't even respond.
The few, yet still many, question whether I am real and start playing games or distrust me right away. They don't even believe that I can speak 3 languages or that I attend a very good university... no chance therefore !
rather hit the bars on the weekends with some friends or go alone, which is not bad either and see who may cast an eye on you !
First mistake... why are you sending them your picture... it should already be on your profile. Also, your statement is not true... online dating is the easiest way to meet girls. Unless you're a creep... you're not a creep are you?
Online dating for women tends to be associated with grandeur more than it is for guys I think. Most of the women who do online dating are usually looking for unrealistic men with high looks and status, yeah.
In my experience with the whole online dating thing, the women involved in it are almost like lonely geeks who don't want to have to get off their ass and actually meet somebody in real life, so they have fantasy men in mind that they hope to find online.
Because attractive to you might be ugly to me. Lol jk, but honestly it's because we all have different opinions. How I said, you may think your average looking, and to other people you may be very good looking or very ugly. Or in between. That's just how life is!
That's because women will never give the average looking guys a chance and they have the nerve to bitch why do guys cheat on me? Or why do these good looking guys turn out to be jerks? Ask any women here and they will all give the same excuses like he just didn't seem like my type aka I found him ugly.
Not that anyone refuses. Either they're not a woman's average or she doesn't see a feature she likes. Sometimes average guys are really thirsty and it's annoying.
Because there over whelmed by guys messaging to much competition m8 only way to beat all the punks to the bottom of the pile is to talk to the girl in person
Because a woman using a dating site doesn't mean that she's thrown all of her standards out the window?
they aren't looking for love they are looking for a hunk.
Because whether they like to admit it or not women are just as shallow as men when it comes to looks.
stop going on dating sites then and meet women in real LIFE! :)
Hey I know that guy, isn't he a scientist? I see your point but just as we do by going by a first initial attraction they do too but usually they overlook that if she has been already taliking to you for that long
On dating sites people hope to meet better than average.
That's an error in my opinion
It's not just guys that face this.
Forget them women who cares about them
