Topic: So how does this whole thing work? | |
---|---|
Hi guys! So maybe I should explain a little before I get to my question, just to provide some context.
I'm pretty new to this whole kind of thing, and I joined this site more out of curiosity than out of an actual desire to find a relationship; I'm in college right now, so there's not exactly a shortage of dating opportunities, and I think people are absolutely fascinating, so I'm always up to find as many ways to interact with as many people as I can. I'm also a psych major, so I have a tendency to completely over-analyze things, so I might be completely off base. That being said, it seems to me that a lot of people who are checking out my profile and trying to send me messages are not exactly in my peer group. Not that I have anything against dating people older than me, but it seems odd that a majority of the people checking out my profile are men 15-35 years older than me, and it's not the first time I've run into this problem. Is it just that there aren't too many people my age on sites like this? Am I sending the wrong message with my profile? Is it just a coincidence? Any insight you guys could give would be greatly appreciated! |

Welcome Solo ^_^
Not the first time a young Lady has complained about this, and I'm sure it won't be the last :) Go into your acount settings, and you can block the older ones from contacting you. Have fun! |

The younger ones are not looking. The are busy with school and hoping
to find that next wonderful relationship in their life...such as a new videogame. The older guys are actually wanting and knowing how to date and meet somebody while the younger guy is out trying to hog the pizza while his friend has already stuffed three slices - crammed them really - into his mouth using a twisting motion. He looks very self satisfied too! That is why he is not on this site. He is distracted by the pepperonis. Might be over in the cougar thread looking for some NSA instructables. Out hunting for the big game nookie! They are all creepers and pervs of course. Just like in real life. Whoops almost forgot to rate your profile. It's short and sweet. I give it a 10. Makes me want to know more about you. What could be better than that? You're cute with a nice smile and attitude. I hope my shirtless main pic doesn't offend unduly. It is a very old joke. But by now it is who I am on here. Can't be helped. Welcome to mingle2... |

Any insight you guys could give would be greatly appreciated! Keep in mind that just because somebody looks at your profile, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're interested in dating you or anything like that. It just could be that you posted something that caught their eye and want to see what you're all about or showed up in a local search and are curious or who knows???? Hell, I look at different profiles all the time (my age, alot younger, alot older, women, guys, you name it), but not because I'm perving them or anything. |
