A month and a half I moved to do post doc in India. I assume most people on this site are not from there. So is anyone interested in doing long distance relationship with me? I will be staying in India for two years and then I will be back to USA.

While I am not interested in a long distance relationship with anyone, I am surprised that you share nothing about yourself in your WP profile. What would a woman find to be attracted to, if you don't share such info? Just curious.

Much better! Now ladies can see some of your interests, and have a basis to start interaction. I wish more guys on here would do the same!

You guys shouldn't post these threads because no girls are going to respond or want to talk, let's be realistic now

Interesting...but you aren't being specific.

Online or online and then perhaps meeting her irl.

Also, what kind of girl are you looking for?

Making an effort gives you slightly less chance of failure than not trying because you assume you'll fail does.

Yea I guess you're right. To me it seems like he's just interested like any other person, but to others it may seem like desperation causing themk not to respond to his thread. I'm not interested, but I just dont want him getting frustrated because no one responds

Okay due to the job, I am only allowed to be out of town 15 days every half a year, so it won't be realistic to meet until my postdoctoral appoinment is over. But once it is over I do want to start face to face relationship that will hopefully lead to something serious.

I would like someone intelligent with whom I can have intellectual conversations with. Preferably with college education or higher. Someone in the age range between 20 and 30. Someone who is willing to commit.

Thats one thing I don't understand. Why if someone is desperate you won't respond? Wouldn't you hurt the desperate person by not responding MORE than any other? And also, wouldn't a desperate person put MORE effort into relationship if given a chance?

P.S. I am not desperate, but I am USED to be few years ago. So I feel compelled to ask that since I am mad at the treatment I received few years ago.

I am glad you agree with me.

I won't say "who cares" because desperate ppl are much prone to be hurt than others, so treatment of desperate ppl should be way on top of the list. If you have some normal, non-desperate guy, not able to get a date then yes, I would say "who cares" since its no different than, say, me not being able to get my favorite ice cream. But if someone is desperate, I can't say "who cares" since his life is being ruined by ppl mistreating them.

are you trying to change the instincts of mankind here and now?
a lot of things SHOULD be different, especially to fit my lifestyle better.

this post DOES come off as desperate, shes nice enough to break it to you, where most others simply didnt care enough to, and you just drone on about how shes wrong cus it SHOULD be different.

desperation, subconciously, means the following:
you have tried and tried but still wont get a girl.
theres something inherently wrong with you.

now dont get all personal w me, cus im just telling you why desperation doesnt sell. i dunno anything about you, but that is the message you send out, by acting desperately: "be with me, ive been rejected constantly for reasons you are about to find out"

Point of personal fact: I have had long distance relationships, but never once did one start in the manner you propose. My suggestion? Find penpals. Get to to know people. But an open invitation to an online relationship, immediately, with someone? Not something I see as being a potentially successful ploy.

And regarding desperation and responding... an anecdote. I replied once to a message I received from a lady who seemed nice enough from what she had to say albeit a tad desperate. Within days, I was receiving tens of messages a day and a guilt trip when I did not reply fast enough or thoroughly enough. Yes, there is a desire to put more effort into a relationship, and in some cases that is beneficial... but often it can also be overwhelming and displaced. This isn't something another person can help the desperate individual with; they have to decide to make themselves the priority and not throw themselves at another person. It can indicate that there are issues with the person themselves, how they function in a relationship, etc... for lack of a better way of saying it, it does throw the yellow caution flag into the air.

I had this happen with a dating service, not a long distance thing. But when the guy contacted me, he not only spent an hour chatting to me on the phone, he went on to call every-single-night! Since we'd agreed to meet a week from the day of the initial phone call, I knew that this guy was going to be trouble. The only reason I went through with the date, was to see what he looked like, and the license of his car, because I had detected a pattern that would cause problems. And I was correct. He, after seeing a movie with me, continued to harass me, even though I made it clear that I hadn't taken to him. I had to enlist law enforcement to make him stop bothering me. He was clearly desperate!
