I have been chatting this week and then twice the person has just disappeared when I expressed that I’m not just a sexual object.
Am I giving the wrong impression in the first place?
It’s annoying when you have already said they were too young or too far away and then you give them a chance and bam, gone! It’s really quite baffling!

No you're not "giving the wrong impression". Your profile looks fine. It's a free international site. You're going to get your share of spammers, scammers, and ghosters. Be careful, delete unwanted messages, don't fret the small stuff, move on with life, and join in on the forums.

I agree with motown. Scammers try to charm you, but when they realise you're not a mug they give up.

I didn't see anything in your profile that implied or expressed that you were all about sex. Though you don't directly say it, it seems you're looking for a genuine romance based on trust. It's what a lot of people look for. Seems fine to me.

You probably shouldn't get upset that you don't vibe with every guy you meet, ore even most guys you meet. People can be choosey, and it's part of the game. This is the time to rely on your internal strength to get through it and keep going. You seem nice and intelligent, and you'll probably do well when it's time.

BTW: I like your photo in the pink hoodie, and think that should be your main pic. It's a nicer smile. Just saying.

Good luck!

It's not often I agree with mortman (ok, never) but in this case I'd agree that the pink hoodie is your bet pic, or pic #3.
