Online dating: Why do people on dating sites over-analyze the messages/responses they receive?

Some of my female friends just entered the world of online dating, and they always ask questions about the messages they receive. For instance, they try to figure out a person by the length of their messages. For instance, if a guy sends a long response, then my friends will think that he’s probably desperate, of if the guy sends a short message, then he’s probably chatting/talking to a lot of women, etc.

This is ridiculous. Why not just find someone who you’re interested in (or could be interested in) and just go with the flow, instead of trying figure everything out before anything happens?

i think people think too much about responses they get because they get a lot of them this seems to be the only way to narrow it down. this is pretty much all they have to go on before meeting a person.

well the world of online dating is risky cause your putting yourself out there to view people that you have not met in person, so there just a desperate as you are to a certain extent you just have too view the people carefully if online dating is what your doing and take that chance.
