being able to roll with the non answers is a skill you have to learn in order to keep a convo going. this is a skill you use in real life as well

According to one chick I know in redlands, all the girls in the area have to deal with the fact there's this one girl with giant tits that's basically a bugzapper for all male interest in a 25-mile radius, and she practically gives herself away because she dumps her porn site and tumblr within the first hour of messaging if the guy seems like he'll devote 100% of his life to her

they've tried to gang-up on her in reports stating that she's basically an escort at this point, but she's pretty untouchable somehow, so given that this is a thing that actually happens, riverside is probably the last place you wanna find a stable relationship in

anywhere in the inland empire is the last place you wanna find a stable relationship in imo

True but learning to have an easy conversation is also a real life skill as well, yet here we are.

One thing I really like is when someone responds to your message with a reply that seems completely eager but leaves no obvious path to continue a conversation.

I asked a girl who said she's "changing the world" in her 'what I'm doing' section "hey, how are you changing the world?"

"That's a tough question, give me an easier one."

"Ok sure- assuming you don't have a date planned for Valentines day, what show do you plan on netflixing/DVRing? I plan on whating youtubes of dogs playing."

"Oh I didn't even realize Valentines day was coming up :) "

Lol why didn't you say 'what show are you planning on watching?' - you know, using the perfectly good verb we already have? Also lol assuming she's some gormless lazy sack o' poo poo and her default evening activity is zonking in front of the TV.

I get a lot of these on okcupid. I'll say I've gone on dates with women who converse this way online, and it didn't improve in person.
They were just terrible conversationalists. Usually in person these are people that just talk about themselves nonstop and never stop to ask you a question or try to get to know you. And that leads to a lovely date. So then I don't see them again.

It usually means they've made a mental list of behaviors and hobbies that they associate with their lovely choices in ex boyfriends and will actively hold them against you.

I've never discriminated based on pictures before but have noticed a startling majority of men who had a ton of shirtless pics up (regardless of attractiveness, though they usually had nice abs if nothing else), had douchebaggy profiles or were the type to message me saying "hey bby wan 2 see my dik?"

Personally all I wanted when looking up a man's profile were good facial shots and a body shot or two, regardless of clothing, just to make sure he wasn't a lardo

"A 19 year-old showing his abs meets just under 1.4 women for every women he reaches out to, meaning that not only are females responding to his messages, but many are actually contacting him first."

http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-4-big-myths-of-profile-pictures/

From OkCupid stats these men do the best on average. If ya got it flaunt it, your average girl enjoys pics of abs as much as your average guy likes bikini shots.

To be fair, every other loving person puts "Netflix and wine" or some poo poo in their profile for a typical friday night.
