I have been online for a couple years now, and I have encountered many a man. I was once very optimistic and fun..very naive and trusting in the extreme. Not to say some of those traits aren't still lingering, but they surely are not what they used to be. I don't intend to bash on men...I adore them. Tis' my weakness after all. MEN! (sigh)
It is my opinion that men online are very easily categorized..maybe harshly..but if the truth hurts..
yea..you know!
There is the sweet guy:
always there to offer a hello. a very chipper type of man. most likely very depressed and only wanting to make you smile in a way to feel as if he accomplished his goal for the day. this man is one of the most under appreciated of all men online. he is also commonly mistaken as a stalker. there is nothing wrong with him except how he has been treated in this fantasy based land we call cyber space!
There is the charmer:
generally very persistant at first so as to charm you into submission. strong willed women have this type of man visiting their inboxes and pages on a regular basis. he is sweet and attentative until such a time as she submits and lets him have her full attention. he loses interest the game is over and he is off to the next woman. this man is the most common and the most obvious.
There is the sincere man:
*sarcastic title
Very intelligent and witty. Often quiet or reserved with his affections. This doesn't bode well for most women...though it is very hard to spot..he is most often hard to contact...or have respond in a timely fashion. which is generally excused as job related. it isnt his job he is working on...but merely most often his marriage or the next facade. this man is sneaky..and will do whatever he wants to get what he wants without remorse. he is very selfish.
There is the dreamer:
He is in the clouds. The best he can ever offer a woman is a very pretty fantasy as his reality makes him miserable. He is a very nice chat on occasion but not safe for any sort of emotional attachment. Usually very attractive as well!
There is the jackass:
Now he is most wonderful in the onset of a romantic dealing. he intends to seduce a woman. she will be smart and beautiful and very loving. he isn't the dullest knife in the drawer..until discovered for the sneaky bastard he is. then his reasons (lies) are outlandishly ridiculous. and yes the woman will buy it generally the first if not the second or third time. we women always want to believe the best in every man we find ourselves attracted to. though once he is discovered he must find another woman as this one wont buy into his tale after a certain extent. he is my least favorite of all men online.
this is not to say there isnt a category for women online as well...it wont be me writing it though
It is exceptionally rare to find a man online that is right for you....ladies do keep in mind there is always a reason a man is in a chat room or on a site. just the same reason you are...he is lonely.
