Hi & Welcome.

You might wanna try posting in the "Rate My Profile" forum... js.

GL.


(hey, Kim... I made the opening )

I never got any replies either. So I stopped sending out e-mails and starting posting in the forums. After awhile, I started getting LOTS of e-mails. I think once you've established yourself in the forums, people feel like they have a chance to get to know you; whereas a profile is generally a fairly static and incomplete thing.

It takes some time, but posting in the forums is the way to go. Like I said, I get LOTS of e-mails now -- and there are some pretty decent people on this site! (Once you get past the death threats, spammers, and Communist recruitment attempts. No, I'm kidding -- there have been very few Communist recruiters contacting me!)

If you don't post, no one will be able to get to know what kind of person you are.

NM... you just got moved to rate my... those Mods think of everything.

I second that. Actually, the forums are so great I almost forgot this is a dating site. Or is it?

The marriage thing is a bit forward=Scary.

If you post in the threads, it gives people an opportunity to learn a little about you and your personality. Many read the forums even if they don't participate making it more likely that you will get responses.

Join in and have fun.

Welcome

Finding a date or mate now a days is like a job application. You send out 100's resumes and only get a response from one employer. And you have to relocate to Timbuktu to get that job and that is impossible because of other obligations. Keep applying and sooner or later the right job will be there.

Be willing to wait it out, use the proper terms in your inital email. ( no, "hey sexy", "your hot" or other overtly sexual terms )Your potential employer ( The date/mate. ) will see through a bad or phony cover letter.

And like the others above me have mentioned, post in the forums. You will make friends that will hopefully take you where you want to go. ( Networking, Whoo hoo! ) Good luck.

Welcome

The stark truth is - if someone doesn't reply they are probably not interested. There is nothing you can do about that fact.

Attraction is attraction when meeting online. Appearance trumps personality.

When meeting face to face (not online), your personality can trump appearance.

As long as your profile is well written, and a reflection of you, eventually you will appeal to the type of ladies who are curious enough to contact you.

Join the forums and meet the active members

perhaps a "buy one, get one free" offer might get you some replies...

I would add more to your profile and start posting in the forums a lot more and let people get to know your personality.

Before I can explain and I did not expect this was to be moved. The Rate my profile is not the main subject I was talking about not getting responses. I was talking about NOT getting responses. This has nothing to do with rating system!

Second of all, you all do not know me and I am usually controversal since I was a kid. Don't ask me why. Just leave as it is.. a closed case. Past is past.

The reason I said I am controversal is because in another dating site, I chatted so much in forum and the more I did that, the LESS responses I was getting. However, MORE spam emails! Go figure!

Of course I was send out introduction emails to the ladies I felt compatiable and all I got were nothing or just once a reply but never get another reply again from them. I want to say more but if I do, the story will repeat here. So, again, closed case!

For shoemonkey, marriage, of course, I am interested in. Why are you scared? Maybe it is you?

I know. finding someone is like trying to find a job. Seen that happen. I know.

Lpdon, If I add more like I used to in another dating site, I got banned for no reason (I think it has to do what I said in my profile) and second of all, in another dating site, I was told by others to try to say less.

I can not have the Golilocks zone of making a profile while not to scare women off. But I have pretty high standards of selections. Again, I do not want to go too much here or I will be controversal.

Someone here said about communist recruits. Wow. That is a first but um, in another dating site I mentioned I am very conservative and will not reply to any leftists (communists, socialists, liberals, and all the wackos on the left side). Well, what happened is that there were a few Christian. Yes, Christian ladies were very angry at me and wanted to wack me for being Conservative! I caught one said that in a chat room. So, you see, I am very controveral.

I tried to be so.. humble. Not gonna work. I love the good old fashioned way.. they earn it. I mean the 20th century it was a little easier for me to go out in person and meet the young ladies. Another longgggg story of why that did not work... so, leave it at the cemetary. OK? Hee hee.

AHahahaa! Very funny!

NOW, you can look at my updated profile!

lol hey ladys

Think you are controversial, eh? *cracks knuckles*

Fear!! hehehehe
