personally I think the regional forums are a waste of time....same here in oz nobody...nobody uses them...

I just read your profile man...
Honestly I feel it is a bit boring...
You say you like to make people laugh....
Well your profile doesn't reflect that...

You have a few ladies on your friends wall...no luck there???

Anyway I think two factors count more than anything else...

A well written, humourous profile that contains a hook....
Something that entices the reader to want to write to you...

Secondly, a presence in the forums....
This will get lurkers and other forum writers reading your views on many subjects it also let's people see your personality...

If they like what they read they will certainly write to you....

This worked for me....

thats good

meet me alone

Try doing something crazy, like completely losing your mind, in a public place. Crazy gets you noticed. .

And put in a straight jacket....

Ok you want the polite answer or the truth?

Your profile is killing your chances.

You are a healthy. employed, and still just seeking a companion? Even in the conservative clothes you sound like a guy looking for a booty call. And the array of "friends" photos pretty much back that up even if every single one of them are "nice" women. But be real some of them look pretty cheezy and I bet many of them if you clicked on them are not sporting your undying friendship and posting your photo. Sure don't see any testimonials how you are a decent hard working nice guy who gets out in the community and does anything to contribute or even be fun to be with. You even have a drivers license or a car to go on a date? Or a home? At almost thirty working for a hospital you should with all the resources in Chicago for first time home buyers you should.

And be real it looks like you are trying to hard to impress the other guys on line than get a legit date. Only thing that would hurt you more is some bogus thug photos or actually showing you sitting on your keister playing video games.

And your interests? Give me a break; they sound like something and over grown teenager would put. Not a single mention of any date worthy interests.

You say you tried a Chicago thread? Well that depends what you posted. If it was more ego stroking like this profile or whining like this post it is little wonder the Chicago ladies dismissed you as a wanna be.

You want to get responses you have to be more interesting. Sorry if it sounds harsh but least now you know what you are putting out there to the working 25 to 30 crowd who probably have kids and don't need another one.

. But at least it would have made a good story to tell his future children.

Oh and, never tote a gun. Even if you ARE doing something humorous. Yes.

.. sounds like just another shopping trip to Walmart. Lol..
