obviously I'm representing myself badly and just don't know it. Please take a look at my profile and let me know what I'm saying that is a turn off.

thanks

No you are not representing yourself badly at all, you are just very specific on the type of guy you want and well this site is not too active so good luck.

Hi Minglerose3,

You're probably just misinterpreting your results. If you're dissatisfied with the number or quality of responses, you may need to reach out to the guys you want to meet. 'TheDon2013' probably called it right when he said this is not too active. You can probably get more guys to pay attention to your profile by checking out the guys' profiles. Send winks, kisses or nudges as much as you dare, and don't be afraid to send emails. They're all free to do on this site, but with so many inactive users, it may be disheartening to sift through them all. You can spark a conversation just by sending the message "Hi." to a guy. If he likes what he sees, he'll probably write back.

Otherwise, you may have better luck on another site, but keep your eyes open and keep trying. Patience and persistence.

Good luck!

the thing I get from your profile is that you aren't home right now, and won't be for some time.

Í'd move the first two paragraphs, stick them underneath the 3rd and 4th. It's all a bit confusing, 'that many places, dates etc. If I was a man, having a quick look to check you out, I wouldn't bother reading all that stuff. It's almost like a geography lesson. Mind you, the info is good and in your case important too, but I wouldn't use it as an opening statement.

I'd also rephrase the last paragraph "I apologize upfront ...". Simply say you are sensitive to inappropriate comments and won't reply to them or something like that. Basically the whole last paragraph, but without the "I apologize upfront" bit. You don't come across as being distant and you needn't excuse yourself for something. If you want that in anyway, then stick it at the end of that section.

As for the picture, it's nice in itself, but because of the dark door and your black clothes, your arm stands out like a sore thumb. It still is a nice picture, but I'd go for another one.
Also, I think you may have to reduce the size of the picture: in the thumbnail the top of your head is cut off :S

Seems fine. Are you unhappy with the messages you are getting or the men sending them?

Be patient and open minded, lots of great guys out there...somewhere (lol)

Thanks for the feed back. It's always good to have someone reassure me that I'm not crazy. I didn't realize there were so many inactive profiles. I DO search for men and i'm not really into the wink nudge thing as I think just e-mailing someone makes a lot more sense, so I do frequently.

Thanks again

Thank you, yes that's true, i'm not home with any consistency over the next 10 months, but I had basically the same profile up when I was living in Indiana with no viable results.

thanks for the feed back, I appreciate it.

Your description is difficult to read.
Ya might consider making separated paragraphs.
Best to ya! flowerforyou
