Hi Jenny, Did you have a QUESTION here? <laughing> I understand your frustration, though. The mathematics of online personal ad sites are pretty interesting. The general rule seems to be that maybe percent (or less!) of the responses a person gets will actually be worth considering. The number is probably even lower for women, because they get so many resonses. I've talked to girls who posted an ad here and got over a hundred responses in the first day!. One has to wonder why that happens. Again, I think to some degree, it's numbers. First of all, men seem to a lot less discriminating. That's not everyone, but a survey of people on thise site would probably indicate that men are more likely to accept any woman who's willing. There are some guys here who seem desperate to make contact with any woman they can, and they don't seem to use very good judgment in their efforts to make that happen. Ah, screw it. There are just a lot of horny, desperate guys here. And they know the odds are against them, so they resort to some questionable tactics that they think will increase their odds. As I see it, there are only two ways to improve your odds of meeting up with a suitable partner here. A) You can find some way to distinguish yourself from the crowd B) You can put yourself "out there" for as many women as possible. Personaly, I think the first way is a lot more likely to be successful. But face it, that takes effort, and it also assume that you have some skill or special characteristic that's going to set you apart. On this site, a very useful skill is the ability to write and communicate. That's not a skill a lot of people possess. Maybe we should increase funding for our schools so they can teach students to use proper English. We could require everyone to take a course or two in creative writing. Perhaps that would improve the situation. Unfortunately, with the quality of public education and the popularity of text messaging, I'm afraid things will only continue to get worse. The next generation is going to be even less literate than the current one. And the most useful skill in finding a partner online will become even more scarce than it is already. I guess the only conclusion I can come to is that the vast majority of clueless horny men will continue to send increasingly stupid and inappropriate messages to women like you in the futile hope that one of their randomly fired shotgun pellets finds its mark. You should pity them, really. <smile>
