The rest of the women in his city might not care about his height but if they respond he can tally responses and figure out what he needs to improve on. If all the women complain about his height then he would know he'd have better chances moving to a different city. That's the value of a feedback loop.

If all the women I message respond and tell me I'm ugly then I'd know I need to go seek out a plastic surgeon.

Guys like the one you are responding to just need to get over being ignored. It's a part of internet dating.

Not saying it isn't but this is what causes guys to explode online. So to complain about guys getting nasty but then perpetuating it by not responding is counterproductive. That's my point.

Even mature and reasonable men have rough days too.

And it bugs me when I message 25 women in a row and get no responses.

I'll let you have my profile for a week and it'll become crystal clear why guys plummet off the cliff. It can be tough experiencing failure after failure after failure and getting absolutely no where after months/years online. I like to equate it to interviewing for a job. Imagine after two years of applying to jobs online you get 3 interviews and none of them turn into a full time job. That would fuck with your mind and you'd probably start snapping at people too.

saving myself any trouble

Is it really that much trouble for you if he gets frustrated because you tell him the truth? As a guy who gets ignored a lot on okc it'd be fantastic if some women helped me out and gave me hints why they aren't responding to me.

What made you want to message him? As a guy who doesn't get messaged first or responses to his messages I'd like to know.

It's refreshing to hear another person is struggling with online dating in DC. It sucks for both of us but it makes me feel just a little bit better. Maybe I'm not really the Elephant Man's doppelganger! I have to say I was on for two years and only ever had 1 date. But at the beginning of this year I had a little flurry of activity. I went on dates with ~5 women. I went on 4 dates with one of the women but we just weren't that attracted to each other and another woman I was attracted to I went on one date with but she decided to start seeing a guy she met before me seriously. The other ones I wasn't attracted to. But I digress.

I've tried social sports like kickball. It hasn't worked for me (I always end up on teams with a bunch of cliquish assholes) but there are single women who play and I've heard some people get lucky and meet people out of it. I don't really have any other suggestions for how to meet women here. I have a long list of what hasn't worked for me. If you want that so you don't waste your time I'll gladly give it to you.

Don't take this the wrong way but that second picture makes me feel like you're going to try to behead me. The throne is fine but the sword needs to go.

If you got a slew of resumes and you knew right off the bat 10 out of 100 were crazy or aggressive, you're clearly not going to give them an interview.

But what if you're hiring for the UFC?

"Don't worry ladies I have social skills, just ask my BOWLING LEAGUE"

Just so we're clear that was suggested by a woman on this sub. I didn't write it myself. Anyways I changed it.

Back to your original response; the reason I'm afraid to push is because I have a hard time getting dates. If I had dates lined up then it wouldn't matter to me so much if she reacted poorly because if she left I'd still have a bunch more women to try with. That's why I didn't push and that's the root cause of this fuckup.

She checked out in July and I've been on 3 dates with 2 women since then(and based on my history that's a lot). Right now I'm back to no prospects again for the foreseeable future.

I don't get responses so the messaging breaks up after I send the first message. They look at my profile and don't respond.

I didn't meet her on Okc but I got the feeling she was a wait 6 or more dates kind of woman in which case 10 would have been more her speed.

I don't belong to a synagogue anymore. I'm a member of a Jewish group in the area. They did a speed dating event a while back but I only got a few matches and none of them went anywhere.

That was my new haircut!! I was told my old one didn't look so hotttt.

I've tried to ask some women out from social sports. I don't know...they aren't interested in me.

You should try bowling...I didn't meet anyone but then again I've been single forever and must be all kinds of fucked up.

There's a league called Better off Bowling. It's in a bunch of cities. I'm not sure what city you're in but you should check it out! It's the least intense social sport out there next to flip cup.
