By now they realize that I'm there and there to stay so they gave up. :lol:

There are forums???

So having just spent the last several hours looking at various articles on OkTrends.. I've basically come to the conclusion that I'm sitting in the middle of a perfect storm of f****d.

I'm
1) looking for a girl my own age or slightly younger.
2) lacking ripped abs to show off.
3) don't make over 30k a year
4) not interested in women who are more than 2-3 years older than me, at all.
5) under 6 feet tall.
6) in the wrong geographical region for my religious and political views.

Which basically means I'm never going to find anyone.

I don't understand why it always has to be me that compromises all the time.

If the girl gives you her number; she wants you to call her.

You have passed her first screening. She's willing to get to know you a little better, and perhaps even go out with you.

Mazel Tov!

Now get on that. To long and she'll think you aren't interested.

So I changed some stuff on my profile and put up a different photo.

I want to preface this, I'm making NO judgement on these women's personalities or relative merits as human beings. I'm sure they are all lovely people and I honestly do want them to find someone they can be truly happy with.

That being said, not a single one of these women is what I'm looking for, this is why I get so damned discouraged all the time. This is exactly the sort of girl who talks to me in real life too.

I'm on OKCupid, and have been on there since october '05. It actually HAS worked for me as I've met plenty of people there and gotten quite a few dates(haven't met Mizz Right yet, but give it time :wink:

).

I lurk there a lot and I've made about half a dozen posts at most. I know who you are there

Yes, they're just not linked on the site anywhere. I could only find the forums via google. I think the OKC webmasters don't link it because they disown the forums

. I must admit the place seems a like a bit of a barnyard :lol:

A hell of a lot more entertaining than PoF forums anyway.

Sorry, looks. And the fact most of them don't have above a 70% match rating either doesn't help.

So they are clearly checking out my profile based on my photo, but then not liking what they are reading. Fair enough. It's just depressing that girls I consider attractive never check out my profile.

Yes, because a website's number based pairing system is the soul decider of who you should date :lol:

I can't tell you how many times I've seen some variation of this 'If you aren't at least 75% compatible don't message me" in women's profiles.. I'm hardly the only one.

But it doesn't matter either way.. none of the girls who view my profile are even remotely what I'm interested in.

That Asian girl looks pretty attractive; as does the girl above her.

Don't get hung up on the percentage.

You're going to go to another thread and moan about girls rejecting you based on looks now aren't you?

As far as I know, I've never done that. My looks are not what cuases me problems, it's the girls looks that causes me problems.

I don't find either of them attractive. The really bad bit is, the girl above the Asian lady has visited my profile like 8 times in the last week. I want her to knock it off.

I don't see how profile views are annoying. Repeated messaging? yes, that gets on my nerves. I think that's probably because I was never that into checking who just looked at the profile.
I do sympathize though, it's not fun fielding constant come-ons from people you aren't interested in. At least on an online dating site it's fairly reasonable behavior.

I'm definitely in the same boat. Being an atheist in orange county, being a poor student, and being out of shape sucks.
