It's a situation not unique to this site. Dating sites encourage what I call "the kid in the sweet shop syndrome". With so much choice, many set their sites unrealistically high. Often searching out their "dream date". In most cases, someone with whom they have absolutely nothing in common. The result being that many will only indulge in fluffy conversation at best. Many won't be honest about their intentions, claiming not to be looking for sex. In actual fact the majority seek companionship, intimacy and coitus. How many times do we see headlines such as "just looking", wishy, washy and non committal. Yet once they find that which they think they seek, get on the case like white on rice! Then you have the group that are here for an ego boost. They have no intention of meeting up. Often because they are not who they pretend to be in their profiles or are already in a relationship. From a male point of view, it doesn't help matters that we far out number the females on most sites. In my area the ratio seems to be about 7-1. The result being we have to work much harder to stand out from the crowd. Most of the women can therefore take a more leisurely approach and just sit back waiting to be impressed. When in actual fact decent conversation takes effort on all parts. Claiming to be shy in a written forum in my opinion is a copout. We all have thoughts and are entitled to express them, otherwise why log on? This then creates the Internet Lothario's. With most of the women throwing themselves at the same odd guy and then wondering why they end up back searching again after a brief encounter and claiming that "all men are the same". Dating sites aren't much different from real world but deceit is made easier. If less profiles had no photos and more people indulged in constructive open conversation. The incidents of deception would be reduced and more meaningful connections would be the result

This question was largely ignored by the women, maybe I should just bypass it too.
For whatever reason, it's on my mind to respond whether anyone cares or not. Guess that's the beauty of these public forums.
The Op says everyone wants to chat. One if the responders goes into contradicting statements where it says we all ultimately want sex or just to chat because we aren't who we say.
I can only speak for myself and not for any of the other ladies on the site.
Like many people here, I'm new to the world of dating again. Some of us don't know 'the rules' of dating or even what's out there.
I ask people to talk to me here first so that I can get a sense of who they are.
If things seem possible, after a time I'm willing to have phone conversation. There are pics of me on my profile if anyone cares to see them. But if we get to the phone conversation phase. I do send a pic to that person.
Even that doesn't turn out well because many guys think that is an invitation to send you offending pictures.
Yes I want to meet somebody, but I expect to be treated with respect.
