yes I agree there some profiles that men do not list anything or they say will tell you later. I always fill out my profile including pictures. and there have been times that I have been spammed or scammed men saying in their profiles that there are from where I live or close to where I live and to find out that they do not. that is when I report them or ask if their profile is fake

On line dating is a waste for the most part anyway. Have money and look hunky might get someplace, but with all the fake profile's out there probably not in reality.

All good tips ladies thank you. I also want to point out a few things that determine whether I’ll reply or not. Trucker caps, sunglasses, shirtless,no smile, only one photo.

I surmise if they don’t fill out the profile info they are probably only looking for sex. I’m on a a few of these sites and never would join a pay site because I’ve only met catfish, liars, :ghost:. I’m a classy, educated, financially secure woman. I might as well be invisible because I’ve yet to meet a real gentleman on any site worth pursuing.

Obviously a lot of women have a problem. They seem to "read in" the history and personality of a man based on a few words in a profile. I'm sorry that your time as an older woman is so valuable that you can't be involved in a conversation that may amount to nothing but may actually turn out to be better than originally expected. I wonder how many hoops we would have to jump thru to have a meet and greet with one of you? Personally, if you are reasonably close, I expect that meet and greet in the first week or 2.

Hi, Chris...
Thanks for your advice. As for telling the lady that you are married, don't you think they will find that out when they check out your profile?

Hi,
I read your reply in the forum. You sound like a very nice woman...

Women in the U.S. are colder and more jaded as a rule. It's just the material culture.
In the Philippines, they are warmer and have traditional values. Plus it's 10-1 women to men on islands. American women are great, but spoiled.
If you want responses, this is not the place. Go to any site in the Philippines and you will be hammered with responses, daily. It will become a fulltime job just keeping up.
Get a ticket for less than $600 rt right now. That is a honest and realistic answer. My sisters and women friends agree.


I haven’t been single for basically my whole life, so am certainly no authority. But I’m curious if you think it’s possible that more American women could have become jaded because they actually have more traditional values than the men in America?

It may just be my own single friends, but the biggest complaint I hear from the gals I know who have been out there dating over the last 20-or-so years is that many modern American men are no longer interested in traditional dating but just want to hook-up or play games.

Is it possible that in some other countries the men and women are more simpatico on the singles scene than Americans?

What do you think?

I don't know the answer to that one but it seems like things haven't really changed that much I can remember when I was younger dating men who would drop me if I didn't sleep with them right away,
I think there will always be people (both men & women) who are like that - theylaugh are just looking for sex or a superficial relationship If you find a country where the dating scene is more compatible as you say, let me know! laugh

I’ll definitely let you know! laugh

I may have become jaded just from watching my friends date over the years. Ugh! I’m very hesitant to get back into the dating scene based on that alone! surprised

Could it be the difference between searching for the one vs sharing the company of another person either with or without sex? I think most older American men are looking for the casual dating while most older women are searching for the one. Different priorities that are mostly not compatible. Maybe other countries have a different social attitude; we know a number of countries are much more open about sexuality.

Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I have some advice to all the men out there who might be wondering why they don't get a response for the women they message. 1. Give your marital status. If you don't the woman will probably assume that your either married or separated and believe it or not, most women to looking to meet someone online don't want to date men who are married or separated. 2. List your interests. Saying I'll tell you later says you either don't have any interests, you don't want to mention them or you can't take the time to list them. Listing your interests will give the woman something to talk about if she wants to have a conversation with you. 3 Don't just say Hi. I know it's hard to put your self out there, but look at the woman's interests and ask her a question. If she says she likes to travel in her profile, ask her if she's done any traveling lately etc. Just saying hi makes it very difficult for either of you to start any sort of conversation. And this is just my pet peeve - you've never met me so do not call me sweetie or honey I can't think of a bigger turn off - plus it sounds really condescending. Thanks for listening.

I've posted this before and I'll post it again: as divorced men and women age we trust the opposite gender less and less. I understand there are men only looking for a hookup. However, if your profile states, "if you're only looking for sex please move on", than it says to a man that you still have baggage that he doesn't want to deal with.

The type of jerk who will use your emotions against you will see that statement as vulnerability: a challenge. Use common sense when responding but remain positive.
