Well, I don't respond in order to test guys so I don't know where you're getting the "women do this" thing.

And who's to say the OP isn't quoting only a small part of the messages exchanged?


If it was Boo, he would have seen through the test and seduced her on the spot.

Yeah I'm sure boo could "catch" them and get them alone with his new Mystery/PUA skills, but after that he'd be awkward and quite unsure of what to do.

I've never read any PUA stuff.

This what I would reply because this is me and not because of some book, I am just genuinely jerk I guess. lol

True that, this is due to my lack of relation experience - this is my whole experience:

You should commend that woman for being honest.

Because many women pretend things are all good when they're really not interested, or they may not reply at all.

At least she is being honest and has the respect to reply to you.

That said, you will have much more luck if you approach women in real life, as you are dealing with flesh-and-blood people - not people behind a computer screen.

She was honest, yes, but in a very unkind way, in my opinion. There was no need to be so brusque.

Agree with what others have said about wanting someone just for the sake of having *anyone*. That's misery waiting to happen. I know you'd like to find out for yourself, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Being a previous OKCupid user (where I met my Aspie Girlfriend), I can say this; Women get a plethora of messages from men; all kinds of men. She might have seen your professional interest in her as an attempt to manipulate the situation and persuade a meeting between the two of you. Was it right for her to respond like that, of course not. But as an NT who messaged countless women with absolutely no response, I would have been happy to get turned down than ignored. I'm not sure how long you've been on the site, but be prepared for a multitude of horrible dates. I went on 5 dates before meeting my girlfriend (and I was incredibly lucky for it to not have taken that long); 2 went 'okay' but didn't result in a second date, and the other 3 were just awful.

When I first laid eyes on my girlfriend (in person), my internal response was "Wow!". Our entire date, and every date after that, went incredibly well. She tells me that I am her puzzle piece, and I couldn't be happier.

Keep your head up, and you too will find your puzzle piece as well!

And I am an honest jerk with the unkind - my motto in life :lol:

the real question to boo and the others is, why would you want to be with someone that is only toying with you?

I would most probably seduce her on spot and then reject her back.

They're more than 5.

I dated the mid of this year (REAL offline dates):

H.K
H.D
N.T
M.M
M.H
M.A
N.S


+ the 2 other sex offers (ie. the girl wanted unsafe sex, this one is not counted above) + two other Arab girls who lived in nearby countries + 1 Pakistani journalist who asked me out but went back to her homeland because her father got sick (date couldn't happen) + 1 european girl who's still contacting me + 2 local girls who fancied me whom I didn't like nor date + other romance/sex interests who remained online and disappeared.


Why 5?

Nah, I'd be too lazy for that s**t tho.

But I'd do to someone who flanked a lot ;p

Thats still less women than ammount of threads youve made on the subject.


And being too lazy to do it doesnt stop the negative thoughts being there. Its like saying you're too lazy to rob someone. Means the only reason you havent is not because of morals, ethics, etc, but because you just cant be assed to do it.


Im not trying to be an a**hole, but youve just started acting like other members who i do this same crap to. Because you guys need to understand how this whole help forum thing works.

Quote:
"I enjoyed reading your profile, and I noted how similar our interests our, with your journalistic and photographic pursuits, and my work in film and research. I love this site as much for the professional connections it offers, no?"

She replied thusly:

"I read your profile as well and honestly can say that our interests aren't very similar at all. Besides film and photography, which I suppose you could say correlate, I don't see anything else being compatible in the slightest. So I can't see myself putting down my "walls" for someone who I doubt I'll connect with"


I don't really think she was that mean to you. She was honest, she didn't call you names or say anything bad about you, just that she didn't think you had anything in common.

The fact that she said pulling down her walls makes me think there is more to the story then meets the eye. Did you mention something about walls in your profile or in your message and forgot to post it here?

BTW, OK cupid is a dating site so I'd avoid mentioning that your looking for professional connections. It's not the right forum, and it could convey the message that your just looking to use people to get ahead.

Instead, why not suggest a date where you go somewhere and take pictures?
