There are clearly far more men on any of the dating sites than women. Women are content to go out and party in groups while men are not and would rather stay at home and be on the dating services. As a result, a female member at any of the sites will be bombarded with messages while the men bombard them.

So how can men survive with such stiff competition around them? Persistance is key. But most women will still tell you that many of the men they meet online are either too aggressive or annoying. You have to not be discouraged if the woman does not reply to you quickly as it is likely she is talking with many others.

Be unique. You have to stand out among the crowd somehow. Being unique is probably the only way. Have you been to some really weird country? Share some stories that you think the woman might enjoy.

Start out slowly. Don't divulge your whole life story too soon and don't be too aggressive by coming off the bat by asking for phone numbers and asking to meet. If you do not click online then you will not click in person. Try to establish a connection.
