    Because they are. If they weren’t crazy or wierd they would be able to get a guy without talking to them on the internet.

  2. cruzan Says:

    perhaps they’re looking for a partner but one who is not necessarily a man?

    and there is a big difference between a ‘need’ and a ‘want’

  3. Anonymous guy Says:

    Maybe they don’t want to be seen as desperate or something.

    Like when you are bargaining for a handbag or something, you don’t exactly want to be seen as desperate for that item or accessory as you would likely get the raw end of the deal.

    Trust me, more MEN sound like “psychos” on these dating sites than do women…I have a profile on passion.com and have talked in the chat rooms off and on for awhile now…and believe me, the things that men say…would blow you away. There are plenty of “normal” women…but few “normal guys”….all the men seem to be after is sex, and they don’t care how or with whom and have little time for getting to know someone as a person first. Perhaps the women are being “defensive” to this common theme? Maybe they want more than just a one night stand? Maybe they don’t like being objectified…and maybe that’s their way of letting others know it. Maybe they are playing “hard to get” for these reasons? Or others? It’s hard to say. Maybe if you got to know her better you’d find out.

    People who go to dating sites are weak losers. Its especially disgraceful for a man.

    Darling! I have been on several dating sites. I am definitely not psycho nor afraid to say I believe one day I will find my soul-mate. If these women don’t need a man in their lives, they could be looking for female company..Could be they have been hurt and its a question of self-preservation. Women have an amazing capacity to fool themselves. My advice is to pass them by and keep on looking for the real thing. She is out there somewhere! good luck…

    You guys are looking at it wrong, perhaps she is just looking for a sex buddy.

  8. ? Mad Luv ? Says:

    lol are you serious .. LMAO …
    my guess is they are looking for a man to take control step up to her challenge
    that does sound sort of appealing! being female. I’m indepentd you can’t do jack!
    or can you!
    exsuce me i’m going to have my life partner be a bad *ss when i get home!

    Because most of them are maladjusted losers. They have no chance in person, so they use dating services. That way they can be phony for while at least and see what develops. The vast majority are like old tires, they have too many miles on them. The fact that many men on these services are losers too gives them hope. These kinds of men don’t have their sights set too high.

    there is a difference between a need and a want…these woman do not Need a man in thier life…they want one.

    to need something is to not be able to live without it…we need air, food and water to live…but we want material possessions such as computers and mp3 players..

    same with mates.

    Same reason you are on a dating site. If men were treating women with respect they wouldn’t be psycho. Or on dating sites to begin with. It goes both ways.

  12. M C Says:

    To be honest, I think most all people on the internet come off as psychos.

    That goes for dating sites, networking sites, picture sharing sites, forums, message boards. . . . .. you get it.

  13. ES Says:

    Some people don’t have time to hit the bar scene or join club while sifting through the hundreds of potential mates they meet so they rely on dating services to help out with their time management and get down to the select few people that actually fit what they are looking for.

    That said not everyone is gifted at listing their qualities and desires online. Because there is no body language or tone only the raw information is presented and that information (especially the way it is written- such as using terms like ‘want’ and ‘need’) leaves room for broad individual interpretations.

    I don’t think many of the people are unbalanced or undesirable, no more so than the average person on the street or at your office, they’re just trying to make a connection and certainly don’t deserve to be put down for their efforts.

    Since I wasn’t interested in dating heterosexual women, I have no idea how psycho they sound on internet dating sites.

    But I have had experience with heterosexual males on internet dating sites, and the postings range from pathetic to insane, with the majority in the pathetic to moderately interesting range. I can not believe how many people presented themselves as lonely and desperate; a sex machine; or were a “great” catch since they were so la-la-la (usually handsome and wealthy, since I guess the majority of women are so “superficial”???).

    If the heterosexual women postings are anything like the men’s they’re dreadful, overall. It’s like weeding through Yahoo Answers for the few sane questions mixed in the debris. I saw quite a few men list all the things they disliked about their ex-wives, as their “checklist”; or they listed an endless stream of gender stereotypes as what they were not looking for in a woman. Whew! I also checked out the gay women’s postings, and they were so few, it would be difficult to fairly access them, but they seemed very tame compared to the heterosexual males contributions to internet dating web sites.

    I also found some very nice postings by heterosexual men, but often we were a poor match, since I’m really into the outdoors, and I found out quickly many men “think” that’s a great “idea”, and they always “wanted to do/try that”, but they really don’t want to do a darn thing outdoors other than get the mail. I finally met a man who owns a canoe and fishing boat, and actually uses them!

    Good luck!

    I think you people need to get out in the real world, and if you are in the real world you need to get your heads out of your asses.
    There are just as many psycho women in the real world as there are online, in fact a large percentage of women in general fit the psycho profile, its just the way they are wired.
    Fact is many folks I know have actually met the loves of their lives online, and if it were not for the internet, then they would never have met their soul mates, truth is a lot of people who have met their partners the conventional way are totally miserable.
