wow you people are good at making me sound like a complete tool, let me rephrase this so I sound less like a retard. I looked and emailed just about everyone I wanted to email. But why do I have to email people? why is it that no one emails me ? or emails me back ? I was looking for advice not a kick in the face


Ok, here's hoping this isn't a kick in the face, just some friendly advice and maybe a few questions you should ask of yourself. First off, if you want to meet people, it's up to you, not them. Why should they e-mail you first? Yes, replying to your e-mails may be the courteous thing to do but having that expectation is unrealistic. Might happen, probably won't.

Second, if no one is replying, I would ask myself why? Is it something in my e-mails? What are you saying? Are you saying "Hi" and that's it? You need to give someone something to respond to and a reason for doing so. Telling someone "You're HAWWWWWWWWWWWT" is NOT a reason, contrary to popular belief, most women do NOT find this flattering and it is NOT effective. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, but if it is, for God's sake, STOP! What you need to do is find some common ground. Actually READ their profile, don't just look at the pictures. Comment on something you liked, ask a question about something they've written, etc. Showing a sense of humor is almost always appreciated. DO NOT DELVE INTO ANYTHING OF A SEXUAL NATURE FOR A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME! Don't get too personal in the first few e-mails, don't give out your phone number or Yahoo or anything in the first e-mail, it's just a little creepy.

And, as others have suggested, get involved in the forums, have a little fun, meet people here.

Third, if you do get involved in the forums, do not make your 2nd post the ever-popular "I'm such a nice guy, why do women always choose (pick your own adjective here)". You think you're getting a bashing now, it's nothing compared to that. flowerforyou

Not trying to be mean in any way, but how much could you have mingled only having three posts? Where did you mingle at?? If you check out the community then visa versa the community will check you out too. Good Luck!!drinker

So I am new here but I have mingled with everyone I can and I have not got a response, Am I really that lame? lol I am really clueless as to what to do


Hey whats up Clueless?

IMHO it's just a social website. Very little dating going on between members.

If this was a true dating site we would have a couple extra areas to post in , such as, "Reviews of our Dates" Ya know, "He Said", "She Said"

Pictures etc would not be restricted.

As most have already said....you will get your biggest response in the forums, by jumping in and having fun....you haven't been here long enough to get a lot of response..relax and give it a minute...it will happen

First of all, you "have to email people" OR participate in the forums if you want anyone to even notice you exist. You cannot seriously expect anyone to look in their little crystal ball and realize, "Oh, hey! This guy wants to talk to me!"

Secondly, if no one is emailing you, again, it's most likely due to the fact that nobody knows you're here. Get in the forums and get your bad self noticed.

Thirdly....nobody is obligated to email anybody back. Some folks may see this as rude, but the cold, hard fact is, they don't owe you a damn thing, even if you DID email them first.

Just sayin'.
