Modesty doesn't suit ya

Victor's a bit on the cantankerous side so hope you take the 'Victor' reference with the humour that was intended.

I'm sure I've been called a lot worse!

After all, I was married for awhile!

lights are on but nobody's home is what the boys in high school would say when I 'd have a blonde moment...

If I change my profile, it's not for anyone but myself. I enjoy the forums and chatting with others. I do not expect more therefor I never feel disappointed. Keep the fun going!

It's kinda used in the same way over here as well but you don't need to be blonde to have it said to you

I think I try to put too much thought into my headings and press on 'post' before I think it through

I remember the very first profile I did on this site years ago. I was a total newb and had no idea what to put. And so I did the standard stuff like, "Hello. I am newly divorced and single..." blah, blah, blah stuff that 98% of us newbs write. Then, you get the feel of this place, and you let down the walls a bit and show who you really are. Well, at least that's what I did.

And then the chicks just emailed me all the time. I swear, put a pic of a bunny rabbit with a plunger and the women just drool for you. Well, that and you hit these here forums and flirt some, talk about world peace, flirt some more, and well you get the gist of it. Once women read my comments, they would go and read my profile to see just what I was all about. And then Mingle developed stealth mode and suddenly you had no idea who was perving you.

Anyways, I feel your profile should be all about what you want it to be. Yeah, pictures do bring in a lot of emails (mostly for women), but reading a good profile does give you insight into a person. Or, if you write an entertaining profile, it will spark people to want to send and email to you. Maybe you had a funny profile and they wanted you to know they appreciated the laugh. Maybe you stated a quote that they liked and they ask you about it. You get the point.

In your mind, you’re attractive, you’ve got a banging profile but nobody wants to know...no responses to emails that you’ve sent. No profile views..what do you do? Do you...

a) Make revisions to your pic/profile
b) Continue sending out emails and nudges
c) Consider that your location may be a problem
d) Better manage your unrealistic expectations i.e. not going for people out of your league
e) Make no revisions because you’re great as you are
f) Whinge and moan
g) None of the above
h) Other (please state)________________________

Be honest!

When I joined this site a little under two months ago, I was just out of a short term relationship that I couldn’t really commit to because I wasn’t over my mad Aussie ex. Rather than giving myself time to get over mad Aussie, I did my usual and jumped right back into the saddle – never have had a problem attracting guys, keeping them is a different story altogether...

lol, I dont know that not knowing the names of fictional characters makes people stupid,,,but

I choose g. Im not really here to find a date though, so I guess that puts the pressure off of having views and responses.

Im happy 'socializing' in the forums.

Well, you certainly have one up on me; I always had trouble just attracting a man but guess most don't like women with bigger muscles that they have.

Oh, they're initially attracted by the visual, then they realise that I have a brain, own property, ambitious, well travelled etc it tends to go downhill from there...

One of many insecure little boy in my eyes.

Yep and unfortunately, there's quite a few of those out there
