Not that I have tried very hard at the online dating thing, or really care too much. I am more curious as to why I never get any emails, ever. (Not including bots and people from across the oceans, that is.) Anyways maybe I just come off as a dick in my profile or something.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. If not, feel free to ignore me and go about your business!

Life....ahh?

First thing I am going do is ask a question...Why is it when peeps don't get the response they want the first thing they blame is looks...Very frustrating! ...

Your profile is negative!...You say you don't know what you want, claim you don't really care that much and follow that up with a list of what you DON"T want in OTHERS ...You even go so far as to say "no expectations"...After reading your profile, if I was looking for a friend or a lover, I would pass on you...Stop complaining and work on the inside, the outside is just fine ...Welcome to Mingle!

your too nice... quit giving guys all this info, the less we know the better...

Even your sarcasm is hawt! ...Good morning ((((Moe))))

morning beautiful, hope your day goes well!

same thing here. I emailed 200 woman and got 1 reply and she was 400 pounds so your not the only one. I suspect woman on dating sites are jaded and scared. they are looking on dating sites more for curiosity rather than what they claim they are looking for. most woman are either too young to know anything about life. too young with a kid to know anything about life, been married and divorced a couple of times and are really picky, or they just want a sugar daddy to take care of them. the best way to really meet a woman is go out and meet them face to face but most men are scared to approach a woman at a bar but guess what the MAN that has the balls to approach her is MAN that gets her number because she wants a MAN. 99% of woman want a take charge kind of guy, 50% say they do and 49% say they don't but that's false. when I say take charge, I don't mean ve an *******. I mean take charge as in smile at her and say hello because its a jungle and you have to be the top lion or the lioness is going somewhere else. you have to stand out from the crowd. I have been married 3 times, I don't have a problem picking up woman, I have a problem keeping them. its not your profile dude, its because woman need to see body language to get aroused, they need eye contact, they need romance, they need conversation and the most important thing they NEED is emotional connection. how to get them to emotionally connect to you, you simply smile, tell them how lovely they are, comment on how great there hair is, or how nice they painted there nails. woman love shoes, hey comment on how great there shoes look then they start to break down there FIREWALL or lower there force field and let you in then you get them talk all mushy about romance, a chick flick that they like. TELL THEM YOU CRIED when you saw that movie but in a manly way. they will be putty in your hands.

I hope this helps. im 43 and I have a date with a 20 year old. take care

funny I don't send emails to anybody..
unless they are on the forums..
and I get a lot of mail...and
I mean a" lot".. and trust me !I'm not that good looking...soo..hmm..
perhaps... you need a little more exposure... let me think..hmm.. where could you go.. on this site..
that would give you maximum. exposure to lots of women...hmm..
thinking thinking....hmm.. you know what I have to go post on the forums for a little while... but while I'm gone I will give this some more thought....
.. I promise I'll get back to you...
. where to go for maximum exposure..
..hmm.. this is a hard one..

Another thing is make sure your pictures are clear and show your face. we don't want your chest and ***, there are . other sites for that. lol Be positive, show us your fun side! When we do write you, by all means ask our names and don't call us lover, hunny or ***** right off. oh yeah, it's been done. I'm intelligent, treat me the way you want to be treated. I'm strong, sexy and smart....respect that. No Boo, no biach, no homegirl. no.just no. And a clue, if you have joints, bongs, illegal items in your pics we will pass you by, if you have unkept appearance and a filthy room behind you in the . pic...skip! put up your best! show us what you got! we dress up for y'all it's only fair.

Did you ChaNge it?.....looks fine to me. At least you write something instead of leaving it all blank like some other profiles. Hang in there. Keep the faith.

I really feel your pain. I really do. I have had the same experience. I feel your pain so much that I could not even fathom making fun of you. I had the same experience pretty much since joining when I was 46. I have gotten some emails that is after constantly mining the dating sites for just friendship. I am not even looking for sex, just friendship. I have been ridiculed, mocked, and even scammed out of a couple of hundred. I went through a time of being bitter, but now have pretty much gotten over it.

For a time I thought that maybe no nice ladies would even answer these ads. So I tried an experiment. I changed my profile. I all of a sudden became a really good looking millionaire. I was blown away by the views and replies. I did tell all of the nice ladies that it was a charade. I know it is wrong to lie, but I was frustrated. After just watching a trailer for the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" I have pretty much figured out what women want.

I have always figured it out after my charade. I have been toying with the idea of becoming a sugar Daddy. That is paying rent and utilities for some non sexual attention. When I thought about it a couple of years ago, ironically my income doubled. I now make twice what I was making when I first joined this site, so all is not lost. I also drive an almost new car and I am starting to look for my first house. Ironically I am starting to enjoy making money, it grants freedom that is not there when you are struggling. Heck I am really excited about getting a Benz, a car a few years ago that I thought was stupid and frivolous.

I used to go to strip clubs, just for attention. THAT is stupid. I don't know the answers. All I know it is extremely harder to meet a nice lady compared when my Dad and Mom met. It is extremely harder to meet a lady compared to when my Grandfather wooed my Grandmother. It seems that the expectations of a suitor is extremely high, almost impossible to reach. When my Dad married my Mom he was just a private in the Army. They are stilled married after 50 years.

What advice can I give you, well unfortunately none. None especially since I haven't had one date. Ironically when I do tell ladies on here that I am not looking for sex, almost all of them will ask if I am gay. Trust me, that hurts. I really wish you the best in your search. Take care and God bless.

Agree with tea drinkingpoet. Also men lose the sunglasses. Want to see your face, your eyes, YOU

I checked your profile out and it seems ok.

If you really want to get noticed start posting in the forums. That is how you get noticed on this site!

Be yourself. Be positive. I am put off when men say "I have my own car,I have my own place or whatever else they own or have" I am not impressed with material things and its a turn off when men do this. Don't give up there is someone for everyone. Don't put your standards higher than they should. Be either. No one is perfect

A negative profile is a HUGE " run away now " alarm. Try to make it a little more up beat. :)

Learn to present urself in a gud manner. First impression matters alot.

I lost interest in your post as soon as i read that you haven't tried much,or even care.So why bother ? Try being more positive...

Thanks for the advice man.

For the record I have no problem with women in person, I'm actually quite charming at times. It's just the online scene I don't understand. Hard to charm a woman when they're all scared of 'scammers' or rapists or whatever else they are told to be scared of. I'm just saying hello...not trying to get in your pants or anything.

But any ways I appreciate the reply and advice. I'll just stick to the real world dating scene.

....ahmf...really ha?by the way good manner is important-.jajajajaja?
