I read part of an article today about the online personals situation. I didn\'t get to finish it and can\'t recall the mag it was in ( some small Sunday paper type of thing ) but it went on to say that in a poll taken on the subject , women rarely respond to ads they read and seldom answer the responses they get from guys of their own ads. It mentioned that women reported they place ads just to see what responses that the ad will drum up but that is usually as far as they will take it.
It has been mentioned here that women very seldom make the first \'move\' to meet a guy and seems it carries over to the \'faceless internet\' as well according to this article and in my experiance.
I once placed an ad in three different personals sites and never received one response ... so it seems to ring true at least in my experiance.
I\'m wondering if any other guys here have experianced the same thing and if you think it\'s true that women would rarely make the first contact with an online dating site even if the ad was appealing to her. Female friends I\'ve asked about this today agreed they\'d place an ad to play around and to see the results, but would never make the first move.
I\'d love to hear some opinions - especially from the women here.
