I don't understand why I am not getting any responses? I am a guy with a great job. Make great money. And I am easy going. So why R the ladies not interested? FRUSTRATED!!!!!!

I have found that the way to get noticed here is to post in the forums.

You could have the best profile in the world, but if no one knows it exists, you aren't going to get a lot of notice. Your profile may show up in someone's search, and they may look at it then -- but exposure in the forums puts you right out there in front of who-knows-how-many more people.

As far as e-mails go -- my experience was that I NEVER got any replies to e-mails I sent. And I'm a published author with two books out on the market, so it's not like I can't write a decent e-mail.

I just posted in the forums for awhile, and then they started writing to me....saves a lot of time that way.

I observed you don't have any pictures of just you. I also observed you wrote very little in your profile narrative, and honestly, I just read it and I forgot it already.

Post in the forums. Take time to write a profile that is sincere and captures your personality.

There seems to be some emphasis on your financial status, right from the get go. I'm not down with that, as I found it to be sort of a turn off. Stable or secure are good terms. Just a thought.

As finally, as a single parent myself.... there are no photos of my child on my profile. I'm here to meet someone for me. My child is private. If and when I decide a person in my life should meet my child, they do. But photos of children, in my opinion, have no business on a dating site. Nor do they need mentioned more than briefly in the narrative. There is a section to check if you have kids, just like if you drink, and details can be shared privately in mails.

Again, this is just my opinion. Take it for whatever value you assign, if any. Good luck to you.

The thing that jumped at me is that you have very little time to meet people. Well, that translates to ME that you have very little time to DATE and get to know someone.

More pics of just you; more info about your likes and dislikes.
