Dating sites are like a wishing well, no matter how much money you throw into it nothing happens,and when you look down it all you see is piles of money.

I don't know Jimp, dating sites like real life probably take some work and some risk of rejection. Ironically I have never met anyone off this site, BUT even as plain and boring as I am, I have been perfecting my game out in real life. I have learned tons off Mingle. Approaching women out in the real world is actually easier than dating sites. Dating sites do help in figuring out women in some degree. Now as a guy I do realize it is impossible to figure out women, but meeting them is not that hard, thanks to online dating sites.

Sometimes our expectations are too high of the online dating world I think.

Its not a mail.order system.

You don" t oder something that eventually arrives at your door. You have to put time and effort into your presentation ie your pic and profile text just as you would try to look appealing and sound impressive to an offline date.

I noticed that you have "separated "as your romantic status

I cant speak for other women, but I personally do not intetact with married or separated men online.

Separation suggests to many women that things are not officially over with your ex which can be kinda messy .

You also put up a wall in your profile text by talking about your trust issues. Most women will not find a suspicious man appealing.

Consider revamping your profile Sir .

Ask yourself if your profile would stand out positively in a sea of hundreds of other profiles .

Read the profiles which impressed you and take some tips from their composition.

Good luck to you!

Ahhhh, try throwing in your heart instead of cash.

A dating site is about knowing someone who have same reasons for being on this site and establishing a common and mutual understanding and set off from there....This ain't about money...It's about relationship...You can just keep your cash instead....

dang I thought that was my boat when I had it

I didn't know you had to throw money into a dating site...

I have to start reading more dang...

well ya could always throw your kid in and tell him to fish out all the bright shiny stuff

Peggy, I am impressed! Really good point drive. Good analyticals and positive criticism! And finished on a high note! Very positive I give you an A++

i just throw in little pieces of used foil.

by my count, i'm waaay up.

Thank you for that, so what you are saying is that being honest is not what women want after all. If a woman was interested would she not ask the questions, about trust etc. Seems strange that To be honest you must be dis honest. Stay safe, I,m being honest now lol.

I would hope people on this site were here for the same reason, the real ones not the scammers

Very good what would float your boat lol

I think people are getting the wrong end of the stick. Men join a site the pay £50 £60 pounds a month, fill out details, looking for persons say 50 miles away and get matches from 3550 miles away how does that.
