Well as the topic has suggested, I'm single, I don't know what to do about it.

So yeah not really happy about that, but so far nothing that I can do about that. Tried talking to several women that had my interest, no replies, not even a single, sorry not my type. I have been here for quite a while and that has been a rather repeated situation. Only about 5 out of the countless amounts of women that I have tried to talk to within ohio or within a close state.

Feel free to comment on my situation, some advice, whether it is about changing my profile a little, add some more pics, or to just get out of the town that I'm in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was always told 3 things you don't wanna talk about when trying to build a repoir with someone is:

Politics
Sports teams
Religion


If it's not a match off the rip, could turn someone off or away from you. I'd drop the big words and weird stuff. People don't want to go do history and looking up what words mean on you. They don't care. Keep it simple for them.

Another feeling (Although I'm not female and this is from a guys standpoint - so perhaps a female might feel the same) is when I was reading it, not only did some of it confuse me like what the heck are you talking about, but I just got a bland boring feeling when reading it. Maybe try liven it up a bit, crack a joke, open up and talk about something a bit more fun! People don't like to be bored. :D


Just stay away from talking about things that are weird, or that someone might find a bit weird. Even if it might not "seem" weird to you and don't sound desperate, or like you're having a bunch of problems meeting women. That's a HUGE turn off to them and an immediate red flag that makes them iffy with you and they want to shy away.


Hope that helps.

If all else fails, duct tape and rope works everytime.

*Play it cool Totage, just play it cool.*
*Everyone knows why you drive that white van with no windows anyways.*

I thought it was:

Politics
Money
Religion

But Duct tape and rope sounds much better...

Boys Boys Boys!!!!! stop worrying so much!! Women aren't that scary!! I promise!!

we are just like you but with indoor plumbing! The best way to meet a woman is well- first be doing something you like to do- if there is someone there that interests you- you know you have something in common-

Say Hi- i KNOW!!!!! what a novel idea!! just say Hello- nice to meet you- my name is...... then ask a question- not a yes or no question but one that requires a thoughtful answer.

A genuine compliment works too- a genuine one!!! not one designed to get you into our pants- if she has pretty hair and you like it- tell her- if her eyes are gorgeous- tell her! don't be cliche. Honesty is a good thing too-

if you are nervous talking to her- TELL HER!!! sometimes we find that endearing.

its not that difficult!! really!- just be yourself- don't be rude, crude or immature.

Be a friend- earn her trust- you might win her heart

just my opinion of course~

I would think men in Ohio are better, except for the winter shrinkage and all.

Being a born and raised northeast Ohio girl has taught me differently.

Change your photo a little bit. Yes, that is you and a good picture of you but you are all tuxed up and a little stiff LOOKING...not saying you actually are. Unfortunately, people on date sites...browse photos first and that is your first line of contact. Do you have a more relaxed photo? One of you smiling? Take your glasses off...lets see those sexy eyes:)

I havent read your profile so I have no comment on that.

Just dating in general is hard...for all of us. I hate that I even have to be here! lol

The one girl above was right...be yourself. The right girl will fall in love with that! :)

So anyway, updated a few things was wondering what everyone thought. I'm trying to be careful with my humor and such as it tends to vary in ranges and can be seen a being mean at times, but normally I believe that everything can be made fun of as long as you were personally involved. So anyway, thoughts?

I am by no means a chick magnet, but you really just have to find somone who is into the same things as you. If you are really into nerdy things, you probably wont find your soul mate hanging out at a bar. If you're really into sports you probably wont find them in church. :]

As far as humor goes, I never worry about sports teams. I usually just say something playfully arrogant similar to "You cheer for the _____'s? Oh, i'm sorry i only cheer for good teams"


I'm currently 382/382 responsive giggles. It's all about the way you present yourself. If you present yourself like you are really trying to get yourself out there it might seem desperate. But if you treat a girl somewhat like she'd make a great friend, she'll be more adamant about opening up to you which is when you steal her away.

Im not a chick magnet but in my experience i have never been able to set up (nor do i really want to, i guess) a one night stand, sex on the first date sorta deal. Just be amiable and not too seemingly needy and add a dash of charming and you'll hit it off.
