07 Are All The Men Who Use Online Personals Desperate, Unattractive, Psychotic,Or Nerds?
From personal experience I can't say too much, since I'm the only
guy I know who has done this regularly. I don't THINK I am any of the
above though.
For example, how many "nerds" or "losers" do you know who practice
karate, skydive, ride horses, and own their own businesses?
As for "desperate," well there have been times when I've been
desperate for company, but I've had a number of lovers in my
lifetime. I've even turned down women who wanted to be with me. I'm
a little shy but I've usually done okay.
There are many reasons for a guy to use personal ads. It may be that
he can't meet girls any other way. But it may also be that he's
really gorgeous and wants a chance to meet a woman who'll get to know
him BEFORE finding out what he looks like. It may be that he's shy.
It may be that he has a busy career and has no other good way of
meeting people. It may be that he's got kids and doesn't have much
chance to get out. It may be that he has a hard time finding
intelligent women in his everyday life. Or it may be that he's just
trying something like this just for the hell of it, to see what
happens.
Basically, there are many good reasons to use personals ads. There's
nothing at all weird about a man using something like this. It's
just one more way of meeting people, and a pretty good one if you do
things right!
