I got put off by no replies.
I read profiles, and worded my response according to what I read. I never expected a reply every time. My expectations lowered, the longer I was online. I started digging into how to respond. That went nowhere. Profile rewrites certainly didn't work. I tried the blanket response, no go. ( I didn't think it would) One word was a bust. New profiles, (Blowing up the old completely) bombed.
After a year and a half, I came to the conclusion that dating wasn't in cards for me, so I just dropped the whole mess, and became a forumite. And figure out how to make a go of a solo lifestyle.
I had to decide that the female occupants of this world were put here for taking up space. I let it bother me for too long. If they want to be friendly, I'll return the favor. But I won't let it go any farther than that. Old age made me smart. I'd rather just observe, and leave the grief to others.
Yep.
I tried a picture and a short profile.....
Got a lot of useless, pointless replies, absolutely *nothing* in common, many completely opposite as far as world view..so, back to a more detailed profile..
No picture, short profile, hoping that would force them to read the profile to see if we had things in common....same thing...except now they just wrote wanting to know "wut u look like?"
I always wrote a good initial message, mentioning *why* I was writing them, pointing out something from their profile I liked..
Majortiy if the time.....crickets....
Or, see above.
I am convinced most guys are on these sites to kill time, because they are bored in the evening....or to mess with women, because they have anger issues/ a grudge (why else would you write someone you are not interested in and tell them *why* you find them distatsteful/ unappealing?)
