You set yourself up for failure...if you think it's not going to work.....then it won't....You have to be open minded and just meet people. And the forums is the key....people are just being themselves there and it's a great way of getting to know people.....e-mails are like just pleasantries...how is the weather....how are you...blah blah but forums you get to see people for who they really are, good bad or indifferent.

If you dont get mail its because you are doing something wrong, or you arent putting enough effort in. If you have been doing it for many years and still havent worked out how to get noticed i would just give up. Getting a reply to a mail isnt about how attractive you are, its about how interesting/intelligent/funny you are. So true. on the last sentence. A profile has to generate a two way conversation by creating a common ground or and easy way to let some one approach you. Asking a question or directing someone to tell you something is a good way to create friendly contact. |

It really depends on what type of mails you are sending out. Do you just say "Hi"..... or do you write a personalized message? Putting thought and part of your personality into it?

I was far more open minded about this sort of thing years ago. But as time passed and I begin putting profiles up on every site I could find. Thinking that would surely net me some messages or even an occassional hint. But atlast nothing ever came from it, just an empty mail box... That get's one to wondering what's the problem? You make yourself an appealing profile, you improve upon it then you write people that interest you and always improving upon your communication skills in each message. Yet, still nothing comes from it. That's what makes you wonder what is really a matter here? You know now you can reason it's not your profile or the messages you've sent. The only thing left is one's looks... |

Are these things all they are cracked up to be? Some say yes while others say no? As for myself I guess one would have to lot me in the "No" boat. I've tried many of them over several years and never have I once met anyone. In fact it's hard enough to get someone to even reply back with a simple Thanks but no thanks response. In most cases you just get ignored... Now If you're one of those in the "Yes" group. I'm sure it's a total pleasure for everytime you log on there is mail waiting for you... My point being is it truley a waste of ones efforts if they never get messaged over many years. Woulkd that not be a hint that your just not attractive enough to anyone and just give up? |

I just took a look at your profile and other than a negative thought or two it is blank. There is one pic where you really can't see what you look like and no narrative about you. You need to write stuff, dude. Hats in a picture cover up what you look like.

oh those type!!! ill reply 2-3 times with the little one or 2 word ones then i stop after i write a paragraph and they have 2 words lmao i figure they dont have anything to say anyway... Exactly, me too. And there needs to be a spark of commonality and a progression to im or phone, then I talk about a meet. Personality must come out. |

Actually you are a pretty good looking guy. I can't understand why you don't add a few photos doing some of the things you like and maybe one or two actual inexpensive portrait shots; full length and then a head and shoulder shot (no Hat).

I've met a few friends here that have become important to me. Haven't met many in person, but one in particular who I have spent time with is a gem (((rara))), and I'm sure a friend for life. Not bad if you ask me. Who is it who can pass up an opportunity to make a good friend?
Only you know if it is worth it to you. I can tell you, you get out of it what you put in... |

You need to write stuff, dude. Hats in a picture cover up what you look like. I'm not looking for pitty just voicing an observation of my experiences of online dating. I believe others deserve the right to hear the not so happy ending stories... The reason I don't have much writen on my profile is because I've learned it don't mount to a hill of beans. I've had professional profiles and I've had ones I've wrote and neither got me any messages or flirts. If you don't look a certain way then your just not going to get any messages. So, No I'm not likely to ever grace the cover of GQ magazine. I don't have a PH'd nor make a 6 figure yearly income. That eliminates me from about 98% of the females on the internet seaching for Mr. Perfect, which I'm not nor ever will be. |
