ORIGINAL: BeautifulRacket [ Demanding anything--especially a phone call or meeting--will also weed out women like me. I usually will not allow someone from online to get my phone number until right before a meeting, or after a meet has gone well. I don't want anyone who turns out to be a nutcase to have my unlisted number or harrass me. I had a close call with that last year, and have since been very careful about giving out my contact info too soon. So, the phone call won't work for me (and I'm guessing quite a few others), but I'm more than happy to meet someone in a safe place relatively soon, or arrange for them to come to the playspace I'm a member of to meet. I doubt I'm compatible with anyone who won't take it on faith that I'm one of the reliable people who won't stand them up without a very good reason. I agree with this. Turns me right off when someone begins to insist that I'm a fake, etc. I choose not to put my pic up. I also won't give out my number and I hate the phone - that doesn't lead to any less confusion. I offer a peak at my webcam and to meet for dinner - not a drink. That, to me, weeds out the ones that want to kick the tires, so to speak. I also agree with the others that it's a numbers thing. This site doesn't include the original conversation and I can't keep up with what was said and which you are. It doesn't register much until I meet someone. Plus when someone starts declaring their undying interest in me before that, it creeps me out. I go through phases where I'm looking, then one interests me and the others start to bug me for whatever reason - I tell them I am interested in another and the vicious emails start - which always reminds me to never give my number or personal info. On another note - I posted my own version in the ask a sub board asking why subs suddenly drop off - after meeting and playing that is. It is a people thing. I try my best not to lose it from frustration but there are no answers.
