Match.com is like all the others, including the free sites like plentyoffish. There are simply far more men than women, and as a previous reviewer noted, dating sites function first and foremost as an ego boost for women. Just check out a moderately attractive woman on POF, and at the bottom of her profile you'll find that she is on 100 (or more -- one there has over 600 fans) men's "favorites list," which means that she has already been contacted by 100 interested men! Must make her feel pretty good. (Note that match.com doesn't even show you this, but you can be sure it's the same situation.) Just imagine you are the 101st man to email our moderately attractive woman. I ask you, how quickly will she find a reason to eliminate you as a contender, when she knows she can always dip into the "pool of 100" if she feels like communicating? Answer: pretty darn quickly. I emailed one woman, asking how many responses she averaged, and she said 20-30 a day! Which got me thinking: what would I do if I got 20 emails a day, from women jockeying for my attention? Naturally I'd be as picky as the women are, and only respond to the top two or three. This is the problem with every dating site. Men are horny, and women think they have gold between their legs. Too many men, not enough sexy women. Bad odds online. In person, at least it's one on one for awhile....
