I'm just me. They have to get to know me and see if I'm what they want. Interestingly enough, most men will say the same thing. However, on a dating site most women view most men with skepticizm and seldom respond to messages. So in the end men and women don't cut each other enough slack to try to get to know one another. In real life that first meeting (even by accident) can open a door not usually available on dating sites. We don't trust each other. |

If they haven't put any effort into the messages, I may not respond for long, though. So, not all of us are like you described. |

Most men get writers cramp and never get a response. I can understand the "she's not interested in you" but after dozens of messages with no responses and no profile views the average man will give up. Somehow, the bad boys seem to get responses. I've often wondered if it's because they start playing on women's emotions even with the first message. |

Now, I was speaking for my generation mainly, 18-24, that's what matters to them. I know, as people get older, looks become less of a factor as they themselves age and aren't exactly what they used to be at 20. Not everyone thinks this way. I fall into that 18 -24 category and I can assure you 100% I do NOT think looks are everything. Id choose the average Joe on the road over Brad Pitt ANY DAY!! |

For you 18 - 24 year olds, keep in mind that the brain is not mature until about 25 -27. You are still children.
If you really think that your picture or your looks are so important you should spend some money and have some really professional pictures taken for your profiles. Not so professional that it looks like glamour shots, but professional enough that it makes you look good. Don't expect someone to go ga ga over you with a poor unflattering shot of you. Then, at the very least you should list some of your interests.... if you have any. I see so many young people who have no interest in anything because they are so preoccupied with getting laid. (That's probably natural, but a bit boring.) |

Since this is a dating site some (not all) people here are looking to find a mate, partner, date or spouse. I see many people talking about what they want in a partner, but I don't see much about what they have to offer their partner. How would you sell yourself? What do you have to offer? Are you a great catch or not? I have nothing to offer anyone apparently. |

When most messages from men on here are something like: "hi" "hey baby" "hey sexy" "hru" "sup" I can see why they don't get responses. Those who tend to put a bit more effort (doesn't mean they have to write a ton) into it probably do get better responses. |

I dont think i have to write up crapy lies just to get a response. Thats why i prefer dating older ladies. |
