“On online dates, women are much, much more disappointed than men. Women put more stock in the virtual dating world because they seek a soul mate, whereas men are typically after a more casual relationship.” That’s according to Michael Norton formally of the Harvard Business School. A couple of years ago Norton along with two of his colleagues conducted a study and came to a number of conclusions.
As he tells Jeanna Bryant of Live Science, “Because people so much want to find somebody, we find that they read into the profile. They kind of see that person as a good match for them, and that they have a lot in common. And when they finally meet in person, they find out it’s just a regular person like everybody else. They end up being disappointed again.”
There are other reasons why women turn out to be disappointed which should not be overlooked
1. Pride Out Of Control
Women love men that exude self confidence. They do not like men that are full of themselves. Yet they meet plenty of those types when it comes o online dating. Any give and take conversation inevitably works its way back to the center of the universe; namely him. She should be honored he deems her worthy to chat with him.
2. Quiet and Proud Of It
Offline or on communication ranks as one thing women feel is essential to a relationship. So trying to get some conversation going with a guy who fancies himself the strong silent type is a frustrating experience for many women. She’s sharing and more than willing to do so. He is not which in the final analysis is not going to work.
3. Another Notch In Your Belt
Women are very good at telling when a guy is on the make. When they meet someone online who starts the sexy talk almost immediately she knows he is not looking to build a relationship. He’s looking for a conquest.
