How to get a woman as a language partner
Since I’ve joined iTalki, I’ve been reading some posts, in which women complain about some men who apparently just look for a girlfrined rather than a language partner. I believe that’s true, in my case, among all the messages that I’ve received just 5 or 6 belonged to women who wanted me as a language partner. In other words, more than 90% of messages in my inbox are from men. It’s not bad if you want a woman as a language partner. You should continue reading this text if you haven't had success in this issue.
To start with, if you’re learning English, for example, but just a few people are interesting in learning your native language you can look for a partner who, like you, have English as her target language. You can send a polite message explaining, in a few sentences, why are you learning English and why do you want from her as a language partner. Sending a message with that topics will give you more chances to get a partner than the typical “Do you skype?” or “ You’re such a beauty”. However, if you notice that your native language is popular, you can look for native language speakers. In this case, my advice is the same. You should send her a message saying why you’re learning her native language and showing that you’re willing to help her with her target language.
If you do that, you show yourself as a serious learner. As a result, you probably find a good partner. Don’t exagerate with your messages though. I’ve seen many English native speakers who only have women as friends on iTalki. I suppose they take advange of the fact that everyone wants to learn his native language. In my opinion, women have to realize whether someone is a serious learner or just want to flirt.
P.D: You also have to understand when someone is only looking for language native speakers

How to get a woman as a language partner
Since I’ve joined iTalki, I’ve read some posts where women complain about some men who apparently just look for a girlfriend rather than a language partner. I believe that’s true. In my case, among all the messages that I’ve received just 5 or 6 belonged to* women who wanted me as a language partner. In other words, more than 90% of the messages in my inbox are from men. It’s not bad*** if you want a woman as a language partner. You should continue reading this if you haven't had success with this..To start with, if you’re learning English, say, but just a few people are interested** in learning your own language you can look for a partner who, like you, wants to learn English. You can send them a polite message explaining briefly why you learn English and what you want from them as a language partner. Sending such a message will give you more chance to get a partner than the typical “Do you skype?” or “ You’re such a beauty”. However, if your own language is popular, you can look for native language speakers. In this case, my advice is the same. You should send explain to her why you learn her language and show that you’re willing to help her with her target language.
If you do that, you show yourself as a serious learner so you will probably find a good partner. Don’t exaggerate your message though. I’ve seen many English native speakers who only have women as friends on iTalki. I suppose they use the fact that everyone wants to learn English. In my opinion, women have to recognise whether someone is a serious learner or just wants to flirt.
P.D:(?) You also have to understand when someone is only looking for native language speakers.
*or, it is bad... ?
*or, came from women...
*be careful not to confuse the ...ing with the ...ed. Their meanings are very different.
Very well written!

This is true but also for men too. I receive lots of requests from women too. I have a wife so do not need two as one is enough for any man :-)
Unfortunately it seems that also younger women also do not speak to other woman too.
Skype is good for speaking but you do not need a camera and can just voice chat.
It is sad that people cannot just learn from each other. There are plenty of international dating sites so not sure why a man would choose italki to find a partner.
