Is dating

Really just a numbers game?

I've heard people describe at as such. And that honestly just depresses me. I would like to think there's more thought and awareness involved than that.

In a way it is. There isn't only one person for you...your compatible with MANY people.

It's just a matter of finding one of those many.

Sometimes it seems difficult to meet someone whose expectations are at the same place as yours.

No. Most people don't get what they want, they stumble into something they can tolerate.

Dating success

Method 1:

Step 1. Date a cancer male, or any male for that matter

Step 2. Post incessantly about cancer males being bad with as many fake accounts as possible on the cancer forums

Step 3. Repeat Step 2.

Method 2:

Step 1. use plentyoffish.com

Step 2. date a pisces because pisces = fish

Step 3. Post incessantly about cancer males being bad with as many fake accounts as possible on the cancer forums

Step 4. Repeat Step 3.

Method 3:

Step 1. Buy a cat

Step 2. Post incessantly about cancer males being bad with as many fake accounts as possible on the cancer forums

Step 3. Repeat Step 1.

Method 4:

Step 1. Post incessantly about cancer males being bad with as many fake accounts as possible on the cancer forums

Step 2. Repeat Step 1.

In all seriousness, it is a numbers game for both sexes, until you find someone you click with.

I wasn't as bad as all that, was I? 😛

Idk.. maybe? They put it in the bag with my condoms and folic acid vitamins, so it's quite possible.

Or it could have been cyanide tablets.

I guess in a way, it kind of was. Cyanide for my ovaries.

I actually don't think it is.

I've noticed personality has a ton to do with who is successful in dating. The more outgoing you are, the better. And the more like everyone else you are, the better. Both can make it seem like a numbers game just because outgoing people like interacting with people, have more friends, will meet more people, feel more comfortable asking people to do social activities, etc...and people who "fit in" with society the most and have really standard interests tend to meet more people they click with and have things in common with. About 90% of the time, I feel like I look at dating profiles and every woman is looking for the same type of man and/or everyone kind of lists the same interests.

This, in my observation, is the reason why we see so many people who, in theory, should have no problem dating having problems or being single all the time, i.e. very attractive people, highly intelligent people, remarkably successful people, etc. If you're hot but you're quiet, introverted and/or your social skills suck, you will struggle. If you're incredibly intelligent, you struggle to relate to other people and to find people on your conversational level, and something similar is true for highly successful people. All of these people can date as many people as they want, but it's not going to change the struggle to relate, find commonalities or make them more at ease with talking if they have those types of issues. These are just 3 examples, but there are other types out there who will struggle more than the outgoing person and the person with the average interests.

Being 35, I get guys shocked that I'm single and have never been married. But I'm very introverted, rarely have anything in common with the average person and, not trying to sound arrogant, but I haven't met a person on my level intellectually since I graduated from graduate school (i.e. we really have nothing to discuss), aside from one ex. I'm not hot, but I am certain men's type physically...which, as a lesbian, doesn't help me because lesbians have different standards than men do and are harder to find anyways than men are.

Great.

Online dating sites are a numbers game just 100 of messages of nothing but there is always one you click with automatically and take the chance regardless...but yeah these catfishes lately lying about their age, and status is a huge turn off. Already start out with lies.
