That is quite the claim!
- Spearchucker 7y agoMany people if asked can't articulate what they want, and yet know or recognize it when they see it.
- dark567 7y agoI suspect this also the same for men. In general people don't actually know what they want.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoIn the author's opinion, what men are looking for in online dating apps is to dispense with the app: > For a little contrast, I went on a few dates with men as a woman during the course of my time as Ned. The men I met on the internet, and then subsequently in person, didn't require this epistolary preamble, nor did they offer it. They were eager to meet as soon as possible, usually, I found, because they wanted to see what I looked like. Their feelings or fantasies would be based on that far more than, or perhaps to the exclusion of, anything I might write to them. Say what you will about this attitude, I wouldn't say that the men are looking for something different online than they are in person. Rather, they think online interaction is getting in the way of what they want, and they do their best to avoid it.
