In my travels, I have found that several basic types of women frequent online dating sites:
1. Stuck-up, snooty women who think they are God’s gift to men. With the tons of e-mail they get from hopeful suitors, they acquire both swelled heads and a wildly unrealistic opinion of their market value in the dating world. Women like this are clearly suffering from what I call ‘Princess Syndrome’. A characteristic symptom of the malady is having a stringent laundry list of ‘requirements’ and ’standards’ few men could ever hope to meet.
2. Attention junkies.
3. Gold-diggers. No explanation needed here!
4. Professional daters who, sucked in by the endless choice online dating appears to offer, keep looking for the Bigger, Better Deal. Ad nauseam. Scratch a professional dater, and you’ll likely find someone with a serious fear of commitment lurking underneath. The type of woman mentioned in (2) above often fits into this category.
5. Teases who get off on rejecting men for sport. These women should have a big “L” branded in their foreheads - “L” for “Loser”, of course.
6. Desperate single mothers. If you ever see a profile where a woman says, “My children mean everything to me”, RUN! This is code-speak that means a woman is basically married to her children, and if you get involved with her, you’ll find that you rank dead last. Right down there with Fido, if you’re lucky.
7. Russian/ Eastern European women or women from other foreign countries where poverty and crime is rife. Probably half of these women are allied with fraudsters seeking to fleece lonely men.
8. Drunks, druggies, other assorted psychopaths.
The strange thing about the online dating sites I’ve been on is that there are few women who could be considered ugly. (Unless of course, they’re the ones who post a profile but no pic).
Confused? So am I. See points 1, 2, 3 and 6 above for an explanation on why a good-looking woman would feel the need to resort to online dating.

Sorry to say but I don't fall into any of the 'points' that you have described on here. You should have a point for real women that aren't as you have described in here. Do you have a view as to why men are on internet dating sites? If you don't I can give you a list of what I have found online if your interested.

People come on these sites for many reasons, maybe they are homebound or just like to write and socialize, not just for dating. I for one had surgery back in '99 which left me bored, so when I saw the advertisement, and was in the house alot with back surgery (which is now done and I feel great), it was better than watching tv all day. As a result I have made friends and even though I stay pretty busy, I am not too busy to write to my friends or see what others, like you, have to say. I do not expect anything out of another person that I wouldn't do myself. Maybe they say opposites attract, but I'd prefer someone who stays active and enjoys things I enjoy, if that's too much to ask, then I'd rather stay single then in a relationship just because I "settled" for " whatever" and didn't want to be alone.

Gold-diggers. No explanation needed here!
mmm well  if I was a gold digger last place I would frequent
is a free site full of scammers
Gold diggers would be in San Tropez ..... or hanging out
where the rich hang out ...
Free dating sites are not the place to pick up a sugar Daddy 
good-looking woman would feel the need to resort to online dating.
many are on this site just for a bit of a laugh and to chat with friends

It takes all kinds and not all women on the net fit into those neat little categories of yours. I could put men online in neat little categories if I wanted to but my list would be a different of course. This isn't fair to the men and women out here who are sincerely looking.
Not all women on the net are drop dead gorgeous and not all the men are either. Because a woman is good looking doesn't mean she doesn't have a difficult time meeting guys in her area because as we are past college age the places to meet people diminish. If you don't like bars (and I don't) there aren't any possibilities for meeting guys here and I'm sure it's true of every place in this country. The only exception to that might be volunteering, but that's about it.
Don't judge everyone and put them in neat little boxes. You aren't being fair and you're doing everyone a disservice.

Well you obviously have no clue as to why some women, as you put it, resort to online dating. Has it ever occurred to you that it's better to meet people like this than to go hang out in clubs, where we get scrutized for doing so & even stereo-typed as a cheap whore! But If a man hangs in bars to meet women, they don't have that concern. Whatever...........
But you claim that everyone here fits into one of your afore-mentioned categories. Has it occurred to you that possibly that is what you attract???? Of course not.
But as far as the "gold-diggers" category...............palllleeeeeeeez! Spare me! You can't even begin to know the situation my life is in becoz of being scammed in the past. But that's okay......you see, I give everybody the benefit of the doubt. I'm not in the habit of stereo-typing everyone who is on a dating site. And I also realize that not everyone is out to screw someone. Furthermore..........my predicament doesn't stop me from making friends & meeting new people. Why should it? If you read my profile, my cards are on the table..........."I have nothing to offer any relationship right now." That means I'm not looking for a sugar~daddy, or looking to bring my baggage into anyone's life. IF.......by some stroke of fate, I should meet someone who is fully aware of my situation, and is capable of seeing past that & still wants to get to know me........the person, the kind & compassionate person, the real me.......then all I can say is that I am glad I had enough balls to get myself up, brush myself off, squared both shoulders & did not give up on the entire society. I would be thankful if I came away with nothing more than companionship & friendship.
So please.......you need to go bounce your opinions of ALL the women on this dating site elsewhere. Cuz you obviously do not know anything about all the women on this site.

Soooooo, your ex-wife has full time custody of your children, which means you have very limited access to your own flesh and blood and that answers the question why you do not tolerate women who know that their kids are #1 and should be: guilt, bitterness or narcissism.
Here is a little reality check for you: Man and woman get married and have children, the marriage comes #1, mommy & daddy were there before children came along and they have a sworn vow to keep that marriage intact. If that marriage breaks up whomever comes into the picture with the estranged husband or wife should be #2, thats it, thats all. If a woman or a man push the kids aside for a mate, especially one that prefers not to have the children around, they are not worth the powder to blow them to hell.
Then you write, in your profile, that your children have all they want. How the hell do you know? I bet your children would answer that question differently.

Bullsh*t! A good mother needs to be careful of exposing their children to men with all the sexual offenders in this country. Their children's safety MUST come first!!
That does not make then desperate, just good mother's.

BINGO Dee!!!!! 
Actually the Narcissism pretty much covers it all on it's own! Maybe he needs to look into another dating site where he can find similar mentalities.

I agree with many of you, if you have children, they still need your guidance and help to be raised to be a responsible adult. If men cannot understand that or won't agree to help, then they need to find someone without kids. Not everyone wants women with children and that's their choice. I do think that if you are willing to get into a relationship and you do have children, the person does need to separate their time between everyone involved. When the children are grown and on their own, there will be plenty of time for the two of you, I'd think ahead if you care for the person and don't let the fact they are not finished raising their children stand in your way. After all, children are a responsibilty of parents, and one should enjoy the fact they are good moms and dads, it's a positive trait to have in a person.

"that answers the question why you do not tolerate women who know that their kids are #1 and should be: guilt, bitterness or narcissism."
Actually I tolerate them just fine. And as I recall my "blog" never mentioned tolerance. Just that,personally, I have no intention of making someone #1 in my life who is going to make me #5. For those interested, I treat my kids as an equal human being. They aren't any better than anyone else and they make mistakes.
If it came to be that I had concerns and/or issues about sexual predators I'm not sure I'd return. For my childrens sake,of course.....
"But you claim that everyone here fits into one of your afore-mentioned categories"
I reread what I wrote and did a "find on page" but was unable to locate any "all" or "everyone" . For the record the title is , "My experiences with internet dating sites ". Emphasis on "My"

Not a problem............we certainly can't expect you to perceive that anything you wrote is offensive.....regardless of the wording you used. Contrary to your beliefs, we are educated women & are capable of reading between the lines. BUT.........we are also intelligent enough to not bother with someone of your "caliber"..............you're waaaaay too good for us average women.

wow, ezrider, i am a woman and I can't BELIEVE how badly you are getting bashed for your OPINION. Read some of the blogs these women post and you'll find their opinions are like yours but replaced with men. Seriously, there are all sorts of bitchy blogs about the losers these women date or meet online, so to cut down a man who is experiencing the same thing as them
and you were right...your title said it all. This was about YOUR experiences.

Having met (in person) more than 100 guys from the internet, spanning quite a few years, I certainly have amassed my own collection of stories. In all honesty, I was fortunate at having met mostly decent men. At the very least, even those who tried (and failed) their sex-seeking mission, did so with enough gentlemanly behavior that I never had to ram a foot into anyone's groin.
Of course, I met my share of fellas with whom I would never have considered Date #2 (and no doubt, at least as many felt the same about me). With the exception of category #7, I've probably met the generalized male counterpart to every other scenario you've listed.
Thankfully, I happened upon some real surprises amongst the many "near misses" and "no way in hell's." And truth be told, I enjoyed meeting every one of them, finding something of worth in every encounter.
I'm just glad most of them were one-date wonders!

There appears to be a wide margin to the truth. While some where offended for some reason ,others would appear to have there life in control and dare I say probably be alot of fun. And the extinct of what I suspected was there, I didn't expect to find anyone who fit so perfectly into each of the categories, (and a couple more) but people never cease to amaze. Whats even more ironic is the apparent number of guys who unknowingly build such a big head....
Personally , the ones that didn't feel the need to be offended would probably be the one's I'd connect with. Here's to you!!!
