If first pic includes a big fish. If no pics are without a ball cap. Any mention of god, faith, etc in profile writeup. Bushy gray beard. Searching for a wife.
And sorry to discriminate, but disability. My husband's health limitations controlled our lives for his last 15 years. I'm not willing to make that compromise for dating.

No interests and no writeup gets you no responses. Also that photo looks like it was taken with a really old camera, therefore assumed to be not current.

Zero, due to no interests and no writeup. I pass these by.

I don't know who these women are that you think expect something from you beyond attention. You're doing it wrong.

You don't have to spend money on her. When I date a man, I won't let him pay for everything. I'm independent and equal and won't be paying with my body. If you're dating women who act like you must buy their affection, you're not offering anything else to keep her coming back.

I'm dating a man who treats me every day like he can't wait to see me. This may be in person, or phoning me because he wanted to hear my voice. He's interesting; we laugh together and have stimulating conversation on a huge variety of subjects. Shows he cares by cooking for me and bringing me $5 bouquets or a chocolate bar. I also give him small things just because I want to and to show I appreciate him. From day one, he has asked me questions to get to know me on a level possibly no one ever has. I feel lucky to have found him. We're in our 60s and having the most mind blowing sex I've had in my life.

Not universally true.
I would be annoyed by a man immature enough to want me to mother him. How claustrophobic and boring.

There is nothing wrong with your looks. And your profile pic is better than lot of men because you're smiling, good lighting, and it is close enough to see your face, not hiding behind hat or sunglasses. However, there is nothing in your profile to attract interest. I would expect any responders to have low opinion of herself and contact you because she is usually ignored or turned down and thinks you have had the same experiences.

Maybe you already edited, but it's enough to say you have 3 adult children, away from home, and 3 grandchildren. Can say if you spend a lot of time with them.
Dog info doesn't bother me.
But you need to state what you're looking for in a woman. Or maybe functioning vagina is enough since you're looking for activity partner, intimate encounter and dating.

I'm likely to reply if the initial message is not canned, makes no reference to physical appearance, and references something in my profile that interests him. That being said, the reply might be no thank you.

Your words say you're looking for marriage and long term relationship. Activity partner and shirtless pics say you want to get laid. Disconnect.

Yep, put shirt on. Women are actually smart enough to see your body type with clothes on. Smile. Better lighting.

Everything you have written is so forgettable that I can't rate that.
1/10 because you did post multiple pics.

Lots of pics showing your pretty self. And good description of who you are and type of relationship you're seeking. Nothing about the kind of man you're looking for. Maybe you're not sure yet. You will figure that out as you receive messages. 7/10

Are your filters set to block unqualified messagers? Age and location. You're going to get a ton of contacts. Most will be time wasters. Messages with only a few words of generic complimentary greeting are from men who have not looked at your profile. Delete without responding.

I hope you find what you're looking for in Tennessee. Beginning with Booty as an interest would send me scrolling along. And I didn't understand why you would choose to include the last photo, until I read the rest of your profile. I think the women you're looking for hang out in rough bars during happy hour. I'm b not sure they can read though, so they may not be looking for you online.

Agree. There is nothing in your profile that is problematic. It's short, but says what it needs to. As you receive messages, you may find there are things you want to be more specific about yourself or who you're looking for. His age, distance, ethnicity...

BTW, rather than remove marriage, as suggested, you could add long term relationship as an interim step.

Thanks but my dance card is full at the moment.

Lots of reasons. Not all good ones. Partners change or grow at different rates, financial stress, selfishness, lack of commitment, infidelity, religion, in-law interference, etc. I had a boss whose wife left him because she decided she wanted to date women.

Starting with hi, hello, or I like your profile are lazy. Read the womans profile. Comment on it. Ask a question about something that interests you, or comment about a commonality.

You dont identify the kind of woman you're looking for. Lose the hat. It covers too much of your face. Other than that I think it's good.

I am 64 yo female and disagree with other commenters. I like that you included lots of detail, and humor. I'm not bothered by the block of text. The animal menagerie would bother me. Personal preference. It's important to include it. Atheism and political preference is helpful. That will weed out a lot of non matches. 9/10 because I probably overlooked something.

Way too simplistic. You have some things to learn.

Once again SunnyMike you're on the wrong GD continent. My dance card is full for now anyway.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Excuse me a minute. I think I'm having a seizure.
