  <p>Reader Just Saying offers a new way to look at the inherent shortcomings of online courtship.</p>
  <blockquote><p><a href="/why-online-courtship-cant-replicate-face-to-face-courtship.html" target="_blank"><em>Online Courtship Can’t Replicate Face To Face Courtship</em></a></p><p>Of course not – for a simple reason, when you are face-to-face they don’t compare you to their mythical ideal, they feel attraction and voila, the panties come off. But with an app they compare you to their “idea” of what they should date. That is much more limited, if you meet that criteria, you’re golden, if you don’t you won’t get any trim... Simple...</p><p>Remember, women cannot control whom they are attracted to – and it’s often almost the opposite of what they think they want. Heck, no young 18 yo old thinks, “What I need is a 50+ year old to plow me like a field.” And if they thought about it, they would walk, but when they are there and feeling the attraction – all of that doesn’t matter, their little rationalization hamster goes full speed later to justify what they are feeling, “Sure, he’s older, but that means we can do more, and it’s FUN.” I have one that loves it when people will refer to her as “your daughter” when we’re out, as she’ll practically attack me and then say something like, “He’s my step-father.” Just to shock them... That is what women live for – the excitement, and an “app” on a phone can’t deliver that.</p><p>It is that simple...</p></blockquote>
  <p>This is well said, and I extend Just Saying a CH Honorary Degree in Preening.</p>
  <p>The fact is that any medium which removes context and nuance and body language from the courtship will invariably redound to the man’s detriment, because men are judged by women on far more than their looks. Online dating does not penalize women as much as it does men, because women were always judged first and foremost on their looks. A profile pic may be a flawed substitute for a 3D representation of a girl, but it’s still a serviceable substitute that gives men most of the information they need that they would similarly get in the field, (barring fatties and oldies posting inaccurate pics).</p>
  <p>In contrast, men are more harshly penalized by a medium in which the profile pic is heavily weighted. Women are attracted to men’s personalities as much as or more than they’re attracted to men’s physical presences. Online courtship handicaps the ability of men to project, spoken and unspoken, those sexy contours of their personalities that arouse women. Yes, there’s the option to write a witty or indifferently douchey bio that captures some essence of the man, but the style and rapid-fire trawling of online dating sites conspires to focus the female mate judgement algorithm on the attached pic before anything else comes into view. Average looking men are at a disadvantage online that <a href="/why-men-dont-need-to-worry-so-much-about-their-looks.html" target="_blank">they wouldn’t be in the real world</a>, where they could boldly approach women and force them to take the measure of all their cocksure attributes.</p>
  <p>Online courtship isn’t hopeless. For some men — the <a href="/results-from-an-online-dating-experiment.html" target="_blank">top 5% in looks</a>, the exceptionally witty who have cornered a niche market, the mass copypastas playing an urban numbers game, the convicts with internet access — online game is a useful adjunct to whatever fleshworld game occupies their time.</p>
  <p>But don’t expect internet game to net you the high quality lays and high octane love that face to face game has the greater potential to deliver. In the field, you only have a woman to seduce. Online, you have to seduce her and her alpha male apparition. One hurdle is better than two.</p>
