Burn out?
I know I stopped replying when the numbers
got overwhelming.
Part of that issue may be that a guy sends
out SO many feelers, hoping for a response.
The other side senses the..non-exclusiveness.

It seems a lot of people do a
touch-landing-take-off-again kind of
approach around here. They do not put
in the time.
Maybe they even forget they signed up.
They just buzz by now and again.
They are hardly a blip on the screen.

But.
I do think they want to hook up.
And you are obviously a catch.
Only recommendation I can think of
is more Mingle2 time.
Puts you at the top of the Search
engines on here, as are all the latest
visitors.

I think you would get more replies if
they knew you.
I do not say this about everybody :-)

Sure, people are here to meet others. However, your profile is very short and doesn't really say much about you. So there's not much for people to go on if they're contacting you based your profile alone.

i suppose you're right but do people really care what i think of me? i'd hoped that the few words i wrote would give an idea of the type of person i consider myself to be. i think we all have a tendency to think of ourselves like we'd like others to think we are but is that really an honest account of who and what we really are? still, your comment deserves considering. thanks.
