DATING: WOMAN AND ONLINE DATING

Every girl looks for the same five things

A funny guy, attractive, honest,someone to do things with and a nice guy. Every. Single. Girl. After viewing hundreds of profiles, I’m willing to make that non-scientific conclusion. Writing the same thing on your profile as every other girl doesn’t make you different. I’m sick of reading the same five sentences.

My biggest gripe about online dating is the “paradox of choice”, and how most women expect “instant sparks” on a first date / meeting. If there are no instant sparks, online dating makes it so easy for women to say “Next!”, secure in the knowledge that there will be another 10 new e-mails from guys waiting in her inbox when she gets home.

I don't know but online dating seemed a bit easier 7 or 8 years ago. I’m not sure what changed since besides the continued development of Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc  Everyone thinks they’re a digital celebrity these days and maybe it affects our attitudes towards online dating.

What drives me nuts? Every girl seems to label herself a classy world traveler who likes wine.  You send lots of good emails, they don’t respond. Then six to ten months later, you still see the same profiles looking for Mr Right. There aren’t enough new people worth writing after several months and when one shows up, she likely gets bombarded.
