Welcome to Mingle2.

Firstly, no reply is a reply. Secondly, your profile doesn’t tell us anything about you so many would just skip past it and move on to the next profile.

Wishing you good luck nonetheless waving

Quite simply put... you're in South Africa. So you're addressing mostly American women on here. Chances of success are close to 0.
Find a place with women in your country and you will have more luck.

Yeah I've been messaging local ladies but I noticed forums are dominated by American users.

Just find an African or South African dating site and you will have more luck :)
The ugly truth is, that many on here are looking for an American wife/husband so they can get out of their own country. Which means they won't be interested in a man from their own country. Kinda like an uphill struggle. Best find love on a national/regional dating site.

I get your point, but you'd be surprised there's quite a lot of locals using the platform I've even spotted a couple from my neighborhood. Plus the person who referred me here has had good experience.

Now it seems I was a little impatient, so I toned down quest to date, start enjoying forums and making friends, now replies are coming in.
Now it's all fun when I less expected.
