You've created a page on a dating site, added photos, written “about myself” and “who I'm looking for.” Now all that's left is to find your other half, but before that, you should sort out all the male diversity of the virtual world.
There are certain types of men that are most often encountered online. They are, in principle, not bad guys, but because of their presence, it is sometimes difficult to find someone who might appeal to you. In order not to waste time on hopeless dialogues, let's consider the most common comrades, when from their very first lines it becomes clear: something is going wrong.
Workaholics
Why? Many men simply do not have enough time to attend parties, clubs, exhibitions and other places where there is a chance to meet a future lady of the heart. While registration on the site takes literally a few minutes and immediately provides the “product face”.
Characteristic features. Photos are most often taken with a webcam right at the workplace. During communication, they ask a lot of specific questions. They are constantly pressed for time, so exchanging Skype or email is not an option, it is better to call and meet right away, preferably at lunchtime, so as not to be too distracted from work. Most often they are straightforward, and if they are looking for sex for one night, they will not be embarrassed to say so. They are rarely interested in anything else besides work.
What is it good for? You can go on one or two dates to raise your vitality, and if you have the same field of activity, then you can start a business relationship.
Humiliated and insulted
Why? In real life, these men are of little interest to women. Or of no interest at all. The Internet can change everything and show them from a completely different side – as a smart conversationalist, a creative person and a conqueror of ladies' hearts. For example.
Characteristic features. Photos of “unsuccessful” men usually exude cloying success – here I am in a pool in Turkey, here I took a photo with Kobzon, and here I am sitting on a beautiful leather sofa, it is not mine, but still cool. The first phrases for acquaintance smell of cheap cliches of a juvenile pick-up artist in the spirit of “Hey, honey, I think you want to leave me your mobile number?”. During the conversation, they try to shift the dialogue to you. In most cases, the desire to meet is not supported by any actions – a conversation on the Internet can last for weeks, unless, of course, you “dump” him earlier.
What is it good for? To remember youth and play his own game, during which a person can open up and turn out to be quite a good guy.
Whiners
Why? They have already gotten on the nerves of all their friends, girlfriends, women and even employees, so no one even wants to go out for a smoke with them. And so they decided to change their surroundings, or rather find new victims.
Characteristic features. In photographs, their faces are full of sorrow – black and white tones with a hint of a “professional photo”, distant plans, inarticulate backgrounds… In a dialogue, immediately after the polite question “how are you” they begin to tell how exactly they are doing, and, most often, very badly – the work is uninteresting, the weather is bad, the salad is rotten, modern cinema is in disrepair, and fashion designers are talentless idiots. In short, we are all going to die.
What is it good for? If you are one of those women who love to pity and console everyone, then you can practice your “matter-speak”. However, keep in mind that this is unlikely to lead to a positive result, since in the end you “will not understand anything”, “will not appreciate” and will generally offend the unfortunate guy.
Complex of complexes
Why? They are not rich enough, which, in their opinion, makes them uninteresting to women. They have not read Kant, Marquez and Dante, which makes them stupid in the eyes of women. They do not wear expensive suits, do not drive beautiful cars and do not use perfume, which makes them ugly and undesirable, women run away. Or rather, this is what they think. On the Internet, none of this is visible, so you can somehow improve your personal life, at least virtually.
Characteristic features. The single photograph is chosen so carefully that in that time one could paint an oil portrait. In the dialogue they try to show their strengths – writing poetry, telling about youthful exploits, the ability to cook borscht and hang shelves with a single nail.
What is it good for? Sometimes these guys are not hopeless, and with the right communication you can change their self-perception for the better, and in the future become good friends, if not more.
Experimenter
Why? In everyday life, they are usually married, they have quite normal and healthy families, but sometimes they feel like they are doing something that their wife, with whom they have been married for 15 years, cannot bring herself to tell about. Therefore, it is better to find someone “on the side”, it is easier.
Characteristic features. “About myself – at a personal meeting.” They give little information and do not waste time filling out a questionnaire: what difference does it make whether he loves Schubert if his plans are only to tie a lady he barely knows to the bed? The photographs are neutral, from which it is difficult to draw any conclusions. In a dialogue, they try to immediately transfer the topic “to the point”, without trying to understand the deep inner world of the interlocutor.
What is it good for? If your goals coincide and you are also ready to experiment – why not?
Misogynists
Why? Indeed, why would men who can't stand women do anything on a dating site? That's right, write nasty things to women and watch their reaction.
Characteristic features. The name is most often made up, instead of a photo – either a fuzzy image “in the distance” or an abstract picture. Each phrase in the dialogue is provocative, or with an aggressive accent. If the site has the ability to rate photos, then most likely you have already been given one, and then they wrote that “I hate your …!” and then in detail what exactly.
What is it good for? A great reason to try out the “Blacklist” service to see if it works.
But don't be afraid. After all, if your desire to find your happiness is great, then in order to achieve the result, in any case, you will have to overcome some obstacles. For example, in the form of strange virtual acquaintances. And who knows, maybe in this way, separating the wheat from the chaff, you will find your prince.
Happy dating!
