Yes, I would want some communication, correspondence, etc. I did this online thing before, and said I'd never do it again...too much like throwing a hook into the vast ocean and pulling out who knows what kind of monster!
My observation is that men don't want to waste time talking or corresponding...they're in a hurry, and can't waste time getting to know someone. Maybe my experiences have made me too cautious, but at this stage in my life, my principles are well-established, and I ain't no fool.

Your women's group setting themselves up in a "meat-markety" way sounds pretty sad and self-abasing to me.
There's a singles' group in Charleston, which I've never attended, but a male acquaintance told me that the men there put "knotches in their belts" for all the women they take to bed in the group!
