hey , i've een here for few days, and still, my mail box is empty....was hoping to get some sort of reply....
maybe i am dong something wrong.....just need some friends i guess....


You need a photo ! No one likes talking to a blank box


I'm afraid I agree. I think about a man that messages me one of a few things
a. they are hiding something (married, or who knows) and if I get the response of "I don't have one or I dont know how" then

b. I'm concerned they are again either hiding something or they really can't figure out how to put up a pic which means to me we'd likely have little in common.

In reality a pic means nothing because apparently people will put up false pictures, but I figure if you're going to meet me there's no point in lying or putting up fake pictures so just put up a pic of you and it really does work. Otherwise, just post on topics on the boards and people get to know you. Very few people seem to read profiles I've found.

What puzzles me: someone shows up as a Mutual Match. You send a warm note. "Let's get acquainted." You don't hear back, not even a "Thanks for getting in touch." Why did they bother mutualing matching you in the first place


I have the impression that most women on sites like these, let's say women over the age of 50, get contacted frequently and are very picky and choosy about whom they'll respond to. Fair enough. But if they feel that the guy who's contacting them isn't a flake, why not return courtesy with courtesy?





I do agree with the first part of your post. I have been on this site for about a month; have tried a few postings, e-mails to Mutal Matches, you know getting my feet wet. And most of the guys do not respond back at all, not even a courtesy "Hi, but not intereted."
As for second part of your posting, I disagree! I'm over 50 and have not been contacted frequently!! Yes, I know what I want in a relationship, but also like having friends to talk with. I ALWAYS answer anyone that e-mails me and hope that we can at least chat as friends!
laugh :smile: flowerforyou


I agree, at least a "thank you but I'm looking for someone closer" makes a person feel that at least you were acknowledged. I also figure if nothing else, maybe I'll make a new friend. No harm no foul. (so if i missed a reply or an email I apologize, it's been a crazy week and I didn't mean to miss you for a reply and I've been known to accidentally delete things on this laptop!)

Man Ive HAD a pic up and only a few people have replied! The only ones who replied where fake girls trying to advertise another site, and one who didn't really even want to talk! its more then just the pic..But yes that would help.
