This is based on my experiences from the last two years and I can only talk about the women because I'm not searching for guys.
What types of women inhabit these sites?
1) Some are surely not women but guys out to have fun by tricking other guys. Others are girls that are out to do the same thing.
2) Some of the “women� use pictures of famous actresses and models on their profiles usually: Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Nicole Smith, Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, and Mandy Moore. I often write to the site’s administration to have these profiles removed so that those of us that are actually looking for a relationship don’t have to wade through all of the *censored*.
3) There is a huge proportion of Russian/Ukranian women listed on the various sites. Also, worthy of note is the fact that almost every Russian woman’s photo is professional quality and that there are many web sites devoted to getting Russian brides. Love or green cards, you be the judge.
4) There is also a large proportion of materialistic women who only want men that are 6'+, pull down six figures a year, and have raging muscles. They often don’t even mention character traits or personalities.
5) Going along this vein are an over abundance of conceded girls wanting perfect men. These women are apparently perfect. They have no flaws and are willing to tell you so. They also seek only the best because “they are entitled to it� or are “worth it� or “have earned it.� It’s good to have positive self-esteem but they really come off as conceded *censored*es for lack of a better term.
6) There are also duplicate profiles with different women’s photos. These most often seem to be from the Russian women. There are also duplicate photos w/ different profiles which seem mostly to be the same person but trying new strategies on getting their ideal match.
7) Finally, there are real women who aren’t afraid to post their own photos or tell you their correct weight. They tell you their weaknesses along with their strengths. I admire them for using these sites in the way they are intended. Relationships should never be started on a foundation of dishonesty or selfishness.
Many of the women’s profiles lack anything creative or interesting or unique. They were all the same cookie-cutter answers. Yet, they all say they expect their men to be creative and funny. Is this to make up for their lack of humor and creativity?
I’m not a male model by any means but my photo on hotornot has been consistently rated as 8.0 out of 10 after over 400 votes (none by me but thanks for asking). Yet, many never respond back to me after I posted my photo. I found myself fitting some women’s criteria perfectly yet they never wrote back to me. Yet, day after day, week after week, they are back on the sites trolling for a man.
Strange stuff, eh?
