I've been on the short end of the online dating stick many, many times. I've ranted and raved to friends, and even created a blog to vent:(http://jdateloser.wordpress.com). Ultimately, however, me, Anthony and every other frustrated male online dater need to just get over it. <br/><br/>We view these websites as microcosms of the real world when in fact they in no way reflect real human interaction. You can't allow yourself to get upset when the cute chick you emailed doesn't respond because she's not really rejecting you. She's just chosen, for whatever reason, not to respond to a compressed digital photo and an essay. So what? I'll leave all the insight about why they don't respond to Evan, but all we can really do as men is take a good photo, write a decent profile, and send out as many clever emails, IMs, winks, flirts, teases, e-cards, etc. and hope someone writes back....and if they don't, SO WHAT? <br/><br/>Get out into the real world where you're more than just a compressed digital photo and an essay, and you will undoubtedly have more success.

Anthony has to stop taking this personally. I get between 5-10 winks a day. And probably 3-5 emails from new guys. I don't want to spend half an hour rejecting guys every day - besides anything else, it's depressing. <br/><br/>I reply to those I like. I initiate contact with those I like. If we go on a date and I don't like them, I'll normally drop them a text to say so. But I don't take it to heart if guys do the same to me. <br/><br/>BUT if you've dated 5-6 times, if there's been more, umn, involvement, then I DO think it is both polite and necessary to actively reject someone, not just walk away. That's just rude. I think you’re right. Anthony has to stop taking this personally. I get between 5-10 winks a day. And probably 3-5 emails from new guys.
