I hate to say it but that's par for the course if you're a man doing online dating. I've been fighting that battle for multiple years now on multiple sites and am slowly working on not letting it get to me. I know that may not be any help or comfort but know that you're not the only one in that situation

Yeah...
I only get replies to 99.4% of the emails
I send.

Maybe i'm doing it wrong. spock



Mingle2 actually has the best reply ratio
of any site I've ever been on.


Best of luck.

First off, you've only been here a month. Second, and this has been said a zillion times, NO REPLY IS A REPLY. Rethink the type of wemens you are writing to, and more important WHAT you are writing to them.

As men it is totally on us to provide a message to women that is unique and friendly and without any attachment....because we are holding zero power. Be nice, say nice, maybe get nice? Good luck!

Curious where you got that reply Percentage. Just made up or can you show where you find that information?

Easy Peasy. He sends out one hundred e mails and ninety nine and four tenths of the wemens reply. The other six tenths are busy washing their hair.

I understand your profile, I think.
You're 89 and were a truck driver for 60 years.
You're looking for women in your age group.
They can't smoke or drink and must be within 50 miles.
Correct?

I think if you'll read that back to yourself and think about it you're limiting yourself to a small group of ladies that are about 85.
There just may not be that many out there that fit all of your criteria...
