(anon male user)
In a fit of experimentation, I created a female profile using a random photo from flickr (sorry, whoever you were).
As a female user you get a LOT of messages - no private parts yet, but most of the male messages are exactly as the parent post describes: pretty dumb, explicit and anonymous/generic.
It's reassuring for me. I know that I stand out from this crowd.
- strlen 16y agoIt's quite amazing in the offline world too: just how much unwaranted (and usually creepy) attention women (all women, not just the attractive women) receive on a daily basis (on the street, at the gym, at work). On the other hand, it's also amazing how much rejection men receive every day: I wonder if the latter is one explanation of entrepreneurship being more attractive to men that it is to women. I am not sure it's a reason to be reassured. You're standing out from "population of men actively looking for a mate online", not from "population of men in general". It's not all that different from the programming job interview situation. Amongst candidates that are actively on the market, there's a percentage that are _always_ on the market because they are either horrible or have unrealistic expectations.
