Ahh, I'm sorry you feel that way. I completely agree about the shallowness of the personality questions. In fact I haven't answered that many because of that reason, and the others I mentioned before.

As for the attractiveness of girls on online dating sites, I'd ask you these questions; What do you think is the ratio of attractive to unattractive girls that you come into contact with? And of those attractive girls, how many do you think would choose to use a dating site?

I don't know what kind of girl you're looking for, but beautiful, confident, intelligent, friendly girls are rarely found on online dating sites in my experience. I'd guess this is because they have plenty of guys asking them out offline.

As with everything in life, there's a lot out there which each of us would consider unsatisfactory. We have to search through a lot of what we don't want, to find the few pieces of gold we're looking for. Online dating is no different.

As for what girls list as what they're looking for, many do that to dissuade guys who are just looking for a root. If they're single, and they consider you worthy, they'll change their mind.

Online, offline, it's all part of real life, it's just a different medium. I doubt any person who starts a good friendship online would choose to keep it solely online if they had the option of meeting in person.
