I am wondering if my profile could use some help. I haven't really had any luck with this stuff yet and am starting to wonder if it is my profile or just me. Maybe I am just not addressing people the right way. I would love any feed back on this matter. With any luck you guys can give me a direction to go in and improve on things.

Profile looks good to me so far. You might want to add some interests and what are you looking for specifically in a partner.

Have you tried initiating conversations or are you waiting for the women to start up the chats?

If you do cold emailing, I suggest changing the subject line to something that pertains to her profile, ie..so you shoot professional fireworks shows that is cool.

I have been initiating alot of conversations and have tried to put something in there that shows that I atleast read there profile. I am not real sure what I might be doing wrong there, because there is usually no response at all. Maybe I need more help than I realize.

No you look fine to me. :wink: Just be patient. Posting in the forums regularly is a good way to get to know people also. Plus it fills in some of the lonely time. Look forward to seeing you around.

What do you do when there is little to no information about someone on there profile? What is the best way to start a conversation with them. Sorry this question might belong somewhere else, if it does just tell me and I will put it there.

Same thing you would do meeting a stranger in person. Introduce yourself briefly and ask a question that requires more than a yes or no answer. That should get the conversation started. If it doesn't move on. Tough lesson to learn, but better if you learn it early.

Your age range is a little restricted. I wouldn't put any restrictions on it at all, really.

One email I received that led to meeting a lot of guys was from a 40 something yr. old woman inviting me to a forum to play a matching game.

Just relax a little and let people friend you first. Play around on the forums with us)
