“Women​ ​aren’t​ ​enough​ ​of​ ​this.​ ​They​ ​talk​ ​too​ ​much​ ​about​ ​that.​ ​They​ ​are​ ​too​ ​picky,​ ​they​ ​cannot chose​ ​a​ ​sensible​ ​man.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​a​ ​nice​ ​guy​ ​that​ ​can’t​ ​get​ ​a​ ​date​ ​not​ ​because​ ​of​ ​who​ ​I​ ​am​ ​but​ ​because of​ ​who​ ​they​ ​are.”

These​ ​are​ ​the​ ​words​ ​that​ ​come​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the​ ​mouths​ ​of​ ​men​ ​on​ ​dating​ ​sites.​ ​It​ ​turns​ ​out​ ​that​ ​women are​ ​not​ ​the​ ​only​ ​ones​ ​that​ ​have​ ​issues​ ​with​ ​people​ ​on​ ​dating​ ​sites.​ ​A​ ​few​ ​things​ ​that​ ​men​ ​have been​ ​complaining​ ​about​ ​on​ ​dating​ ​sites​ ​are​ ​​the​ ​fierce​ ​demands​ ​that​ ​women​ ​give,​ ​money​ ​is​ ​the object​ ​of​ ​most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​conversation,​ ​and​ ​women​ ​tend​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​low​ ​level​ ​of​ ​communication​ ​skills because​ ​they​ ​are​ ​too​ ​self​ ​involved.​Men​ ​are​ ​making​ ​a​ ​fuss​ ​about​ ​how​ ​difficult​ ​it​ ​is​ ​to​ ​find​ ​a woman​ ​that​ ​is​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​what​ ​they​ ​want.​ ​Are​ ​men​ ​just​ ​looking​ ​in​ ​the​ ​wrong​ ​places?​ ​Maybe their​ ​standards​ ​are​ ​too​ ​high.​ ​According​ ​to​ ​a​ ​recent​ ​article​ ​on​ ​Huffington​ ​Post​ ​the​ ​top​ ​three​ ​pet peeves​ ​that​ ​men​ ​have​ ​about​ ​women​ ​in​ ​dating​ ​sites​ ​are:

  1. I​ ​am​ ​not​ ​royalty​ ​and​ ​neither​ ​are​ ​you. Women​ ​suggest​ ​that​ ​they​ ​are​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​prince​ ​charming​ ​and​ ​they​ ​just​ ​want​ ​to​ ​be swept​ ​off​ ​their​ ​feet.
  2. So​ ​many​ ​pet​ ​pictures. This​ ​is​ ​not​ ​a​ ​petfinder​ ​site,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a​ ​human​ ​dating​ ​site.​ ​Minimizing​ ​your​ ​pet​ ​photos will​ ​maximize​ ​your​ ​dating​ ​prospects.
  3. Body​ ​descriptions​ ​are​ ​less​ ​than​ ​accurate. If​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​category​ ​for​ ​athletic​ ​build​ ​and​ ​you​ ​are​ ​not​ ​athletic,​ ​do​ ​not​ ​chose​ ​it​ ​to display​ ​on​ ​your​ ​profile.​ ​If​ ​a​ ​man​ ​is​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​a​ ​certain​ ​body​ ​type​ ​try​ ​not​ ​to mislead​ ​them.

Now​ ​this​ ​makes​ ​men​ ​look​ ​a​ ​little​ ​less​ ​whiny.​ ​The​ ​complainants​ ​that​ ​they​ ​seem​ ​to​ ​have​ ​are​ ​not very​ ​picky​ ​at​ ​all.​ ​They​ ​are​ ​just​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​real​ ​women​ ​with​ ​realistic​ ​points​ ​of​ ​view.​ ​There​ ​is nothing​ ​wrong​ ​with​ ​that.​ ​As​ ​long​ ​as​ ​men​ ​keep​ ​the​ ​conversation​ ​open​ ​minded​ ​and​ ​get​ ​to​ ​know these​ ​women​ ​then​ ​they​ ​hopefully​ ​will​ ​be​ ​returned​ ​with​ ​a​ ​fun​ ​date​ ​with​ ​a​ ​caring​ ​woman.
