Topic: What is wrong with my profile?

I get responses from women who are not in the age range I find attractive, not among the body styles I find attractive, not in my area, etc (And frankly I don't get many of those). And when someone local who is on the fringes of what I am looking for notices my profile, she's uninterested within moments of any correspondence between us.
What gives?
Is it that I am a single dad of two kids? Do women actually get turned off by this real-life trait of the 'Nice guy', the considerate, compassionate fellow with a good head on his shoulders, love for the people in his life, care and concern, responsibility and integrity; you know - the stuff people say they are looking for in their potential mates? Is it that when they actually see it in a man, they are bored stiff?

With all due respect, Cathexis.... I see nothing at all wrong with your profile or the fact that you love your children (as you should). But what I DON'T see is anything saying what age woman you like, what body style you want them to have, nor do I know what you say to them in your messages. You can't blame a girl for trying, now can you?

I agree with mscherbear...you should be specific about what you want otherwise its no holds barred.

I find it somewhat of an irony that you insist on upholding your preferences in a woman, yet you resent that some of your recipients do not return the same interest you convey them.

Also, just because a person consider themselves an ideal mate, it doesn't mean others perceive you in a similar context, most especially when such complaints are relayed in a seemingly whiny manner.

You sound like a decent guy, but I'd say add a little more about yourself and what you're looking for.

I feel for you man, I fully understand your frustration when it comes to finding someone, especially the one's who claim they want a decent guy. It seems guys like you and I are far and few between, we hear all sorts of women say they'd like guys like us, but yet they wind up dating the complete opposite.

Good luck man, I wish you well. Only time will reveal what's truly in store for you, just stay true to who you are.drinker
