I have had this conversation with a few of my female friends and some women I have met through online dating. This is my take: In the "traditional" way of meeting (grocery store, department store, coffee shop, etc.) when people meet for the first time and exchange numbers it takes what? 5-10 min of "getting to know you". It’s this simple; if the woman finds the guy attractive and or charming she will give him her number. MANY guys can attest to this scenario.

Here we have a guy that pays for a service "designed" to meet women and after "weeks" not minutes of "guided communication" he is too much of a stranger to get a phone call or an email?

Yes, I do agree that women should be careful with men they don't know yet. But what about the man she does know that beats her up everyday. How well do you know him? How well do you the priests that molest little boys? Or your married neighbor that is a peeping tom?

It's real simple; guys WANT to get to know women. However, email, texting, etc. are not efficient ways of communication for men; especially in the getting to know you phase. Most of my female friends LOVE to text and email. If we are having a conversation after about three messages I'm ready to talk on the phone. It has taken me about ten minutes to type this much in this reply. If I were on the phone it would have taken about ONE minute.

Men want to get to know women; we are visual so we want to meet you. Often the picture no matter how well done; is no substitute for a personal meeting. Men can be patient but we want to know that you are interested.
