SOME of us really are genuine and really do meet when arranged....GIVE ME the respect that YOU expect and dont assume!!! |

We quite agree fella. A lot of people do tar all single guys with the same stick, but to be honest we've met a few, and without exception they've all been good ....
Agreed there are the dreamers, fakes and frauds, but the same applies to couples and single females too |

All the threads bemoaning the timewasting males I have read have not actually said ALL of them, unless I have missed one. I can understand why some people moan - three out of the last three weekends (not counting this one) I have had idiots waste my time. Now, since I only meet single guys, if I were to put up a thread about timewasters, in my case I WOULD be talking about single males. This weekend I had a lovely meet so obviously it is not ALL single men - but that is 3 out of 4 who were timewasters - that equates to 75%. |

Here here !!!! It's almost like we're lepers ! Think you stand better luck winning the lottery lol !
Some couples/women don't even give you the time of day !
But in their defence I can imagine they get bombarded with 100's of messages and maybe 5% are actually geniune !
Viva the 5% !!!!! |

because for some reason some people take the rants as to mean EVERY single guy.
but i am yet to read one where it states every single guy, they usually say, why do single guys have to be so rude on rejection.. which to me means the single guys who do that.. and that is not every single guy.. so therefore the question is only aimed at those that get rude..
every type here get a rep, couples do this and that, woman do this and that, Tv's do this and that.. but still there are people here meeting..
so just dont take those rants so personally unless u r one of the descibed!
just help give advice on how to windle out the bad ones.. easy huh

I sometimes suspect that people take umbrage at the posts about single men because they have been guilty of that behaviour. If you're not part of the problem, why assume we think you are? |

I would think more people take someone at face value than not here. There are some fantastic singles about along with some great couples. You can't make people respect you but you can ignore the ones who don't as you really wouldn't want to meet them anyway.  |

We don't.
I've been stood up by two verified men on this site (ages ago) and have mentioned it in a couple of posts when people insist that verified members are 100% reliable. If you saw that you wouldn't think it was aimed at you would you? As we've never arranged to meet. So why assume that people having a rant about behaviour that has happened to them is about you? |

But they AREN'T judging everybody. They are simply venting frustrating at the number of 'single' men who appear to be timewasters. If a lot of 'single' men have wasted their time then they are entitled to do that. |

The best tip i can give you is if you are messaging someone filter out everything else and concentrate on them at that point. If they don't reply or say no thanks move on and forget it. Not everyone is nice or polite but its not worth getting down over its their problem not yours. |

And NO ONE is saying that that does not happen. BUT if you ONLY meet single guys and are repeatedly being let down by them then you may very well set up a thread bemoaning the way some single men are timewasters.
It is not a personal attack on YOU simply because you are a single man. In the last month I have had 75% of timewasters. As I only meet single men that 75% comprises ... single men!
Do I think ALL single men are timewasters? No, otherwise I would pack up and leave. Simple logic. |

as i said every group has bad ones..
but as DB9 is so right.. is u only meet single males your not gonna have experience with couples or females and therefore you can only speak about your personal experience.. sheesh |

So set up a thread about it! So what? Someone has their time wasted. It happens to be single guys as that is who they meet. They are hardly going to put up about the women who have wasted their time if they do not meet women. And likewise with couples! The logic here is not holding true.
Just because someone is complaining about being let down by single men does not automatically mean they are slagging off ALL single men - just those who have let them down.
Sheesh! How many times does that need to be said????????? |

I couldn't care less what people think of other single guys, I'm only interested in what they think of me.
If a minority choose to pre judge or label me negatively based solely on my sex and marital status, more fool them.
We probably wouldn't get on anyway.
There's a vocal minority, but the majority on here are sensible people who appreciate that behind each profile is an individual.
Op, stay confident and positive, it's better for you and more productive than focusing on the negatives. |

The key thing to remember here is that sweeping generalisations ARE made, sadly.
If you get a woman or couple who don't meet single guys purely because of the bad experiences they have had with timewasters/ dreamers/ fakes on here in the past, and the profile goes along the lines of:
"Not meeting anymore single men because you are all the same blah blah blah"
then that is a generalisation. Sure, the user is entitled to make such, but it i still tarring the genuine few with the same brush and limiting the chances of ever engaging with or meeting them.
I've had bad experiences with single women and couples on here. I am careful not to let that affect my _iew of both those groups as a whole though.
The use of the word ALL in some forum posts and profiles can send a powerful message. |

cos sadly some people cant seem to take it on board..
i do think some guys use this as the reason they cant meet.. rather than being proactive by looking at themselves and their actions and profile and improving things to increase their chances |

Some profiles may use the word 'ALL' but I have not seen any threads like that - though I may well have missed it. The ones I have read tend to use the word 'SOME' which, evidently from the overly sensitive responses SOME people (not ALL! ) have given, has by passed their logic circuits. |

They are usually along the lines of:
"What is it with all the single males wasting our time?" or "Single males on this site are all talk and no action. Any genuine ones out there?"
There are countless profiles on here that explicitly state that the actions of a few have ruined the chance of all others. |

and again they are talkign about the ones who are all talk and are asking for the genuiine ones to message them..

Just to mention that i agree with you. But it is not the same way most single men who join this site see it.

I only look at single male profiles. However, I took the OP as meaning threads - if I took that wrongly, my mistake.
However, so some people have on their profiles that ALL are like that. Read, absorb, move on. They are no longer looking for single men so that's that. People can put what they like (within certain boundaries) on their profiles. That is their issue and their business. |

Guess we've been lucky as 99% of the time the single guys we've arranged with have turned up ( both verified and non verified guys) and think we've only had a couple of nasty messages back when we've politely refused the ones we weren't interested in.
Think most of the time it's our approach that counts as we tend to chat for awhile before arranging anything ( it tends to out the half hearted or fantasist types) and we always follow our instincts.
So don't be dishearted single fellas there are couples who will meet you just need to find the right ones  |

Got to agree with this. I don't like to moan (too much) about the times I've been let down but when I first joined the site I did start thinking that I was the one at fault due to some pretty bad let-downs. Single women have feelings too! |

Yup - 3 out of my last four Saturdays wasted due to guys who had no intention of meeting - and they were verified and I had chatted to them for some time! |
