What she says...

Also I would consider re-writing your profile and adding a few more pics. Doing this won't guarantee success but by contributing on the forums and have a profile worth reading might improve your chances.

Good luck!

one of the drawbacks of using dating sites is that they prohibit you from uploading interesting photos. women respond more frequently to galleries of images. they bypass you when there isn't enough visual stimulation. they say guys say a lot when they lie, women say little. those who break the rules of the more popular sites are worth knowing. the one's that play by the rules and seek shelter in the forums are um, eh, well, you know?

the best possible shot you have to impress a woman and find one to date, hang out with, and other is, meet them offline.

women go into online dating with too many reservations.

the other thing to consider is who does your chi flow? women are attracted to men who are about something and the males quest to conquer through the dating game works against him.

i date out of los angeles, las vegas and san diego, since 2008, my business dictates this. lol. dick-tates my swag... sorry, baptist in the house. i can dig it. dig this...

i date women ages 21 to 62 and they've met me at the auto repair i co-own, in bookstores, starbucks, in lines at the bank, in parking lots where they can see my cars, in malls where i shop with my two teenage daughters, online of course... i went into johnston & murphy last winter and bought some shoes and a belt. the manager was doing a cha cha because it was the holidays... i grabbed her and danced with her. she's a very good looking 50-something and she's employed *win, win* lmfao

i don't particularly care to take all these women to bed because i'm very, very particular. but i do date 'em all.

I don't inject my entire being into every situation. your kids are really nobody's business until maybe 4-6 dates. i may mention how i spend my time with my daughters but i steer away from the subject of parenting. i'm moving into retirement so my girls, 14 and 17 are pretty independent.

notice how i said i date from multiple areas? never let your location keep you down.

the worst time to date is between thanksgiving and valentine's day. so, you my friend are hitting dating season just in time.

a male who sees dating as a quest to conquer is doomed to fail
of this I would agree from your ideas that you have enumerated

many others you list are generalizations - that u seem to intelligent for - thus it's confusingflowerforyou

I agree with this -- we're not barbarian hordes, living in an era when conquering took precedence over everything else.

On the other hand, I have learned that even a non-conquerino such as myself, who is concerned with communication, commitment, and a desire to build a meaningful relationship, is no less doomed to failure.

So I'm wondering if it makes any real difference in the long run....?

honestly Les IDK

it may be as simple as preferences with gotscreen preferring the kind of woman who wishes to be "conquered"

where you might prefer a more intellectual woman

what I really hope is that you will make it to Ohio to totage's NE Ohio meet up

In life, in business, in love one can't be afraid to fail.

We hold all the cards but we have questions as to how how to play them.

I said conquer because men in fact are doomed if they play the nice guy or the a$$hole. You can't treat it like that.

I'm saying, he has to grab himself between the legs and yell like Tarzan because we yell for women to notice, we yell at them, we yell because they leave.

You can inherit the Earth in your graciousness but it doesn't mean your gonna get anything that remotely resembles love.

the easiest way to get women is to move by them like there are other women who are equally if not more interesting, it's true.

true

but what does yelling accomplish but to annoy?

playing roles "nice guy" "bad boy" "azzhole" is just that - playing a role and not very interesting. I don't imagine many men are that one dimensional that they could be described that succinctly

at least none I've known or would want to know...

I think the dear of failure is a thing that we do not explore deeply enough
