Welcome and best wishes

If you insist on posting the shirtless pic, I suggest getting one that's better quality. The one you have now is grainy and hard to see your face. Also, post some pics of you smiling, makes you look more approachable. And the crossed-arm stance is considered by some to be a defensive look. As Tammy said, I'm sure you have the same chance as anyone else who is looking. Good luck to you.

Don't come into this with any hopes or predispositions. You will meet people and some will have lives and some will be messed up. I just ran into the latter recently. Even Mingle is not perfect but it does get you out there and that is important. You never know what you find until you get out there and look. Age don't mean nothing. If you got the breath in you to breath, the oomph to keep it going, your teeth are not removable and you don't need assistance when you walk, then your chances are very good. Martial arts instructor is a massive plus to a lot of women. Just don't be a chauvinist choad.

Also don't be like this guy...



If you have ever watched the Anime Full Metal Alchemist (Actually a mispronunciation of the main character's title Fool Metal Alchemist)
this guy is known as Major Armstrong and he is a serious Drama King! No he is not gay, he is Uber manly except he is SOOOOOOO Over the top dramatic it is funny! He still is way bad azz still.

LOL right on thanks

Some of these ideas will seem shallow but your appearance is what will catch one's eye before your actual profile.

Smile so the viewer sees that you have nice teeth. This will also make you seem more approachable. You look unfriendly; don't send that message.

Take off your hat in some pix so the observer knows you have hair or that you "clean up" properly. Personally, I like to see that a guy can fit into a formal situation or take me to an elegant restaurant (and leave the hat at home).

Don't include personal information. Pointing out that you've been divorced 20 years is not necessary at this early stage. Also, using the expression, "not here for games" is perfunctory. Many profile say, "no games", no "drama" (etc) and I've found that those are the worst offenders! If you don't bring attention to the issue then you might have more success. Certain "anti" phrases end up being an attraction more than a deterrent.

I would add more information about you and what you are looking for in a partner: education; travel; life goals in general. You didn’t include much information to create an interest.

Your profile should stand out, in a positive manner, over the thousands of other profiles on the site.

Lastly, join the forums! You will make friends.

Welcome & good luck

thanks for info I wear the hat for work so much I forget its on there
