I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong!. I have rewritten my profile several times to show a true picture of myself, I'm honest about who I am and what I'm looking for, I posted decent pics (I think) of myself, I mean I'm no super model but I take care of myself, I like to look nice and so I don't consider myself ugly in fact alot if people say I'm cute and beautiful in a classic way but ya they could be lieing to me, but anyway, I just don't get what I'm doing wrong. I get tons of views but have yet to get one email!. So I don't know is it that I'm specific on some things, well I just won't compromise my values this time around, is it because I have kids, well everyone does now a days, is it cuz you find out I won't sleep with you when we date so sorry I have some standards! Well I guess if those are the reasons I don't hear from anyone then I guess I will just keep waiting for that one guy that does understand that and appreciates me for them. Just so sick of being alone and know I would treat the right guy so good and he is missing out!.

The information you give in the little boxes entitled profile is just the beginning of the real profile as soufie says in her words.

I wouldn't worry too much. I've been here AGES and i'm still to find "the one" and i've been single 5 years now. I got kids myself, and sometimes i think thats what put most guys off. But they must be idiots though, in my opinion. I know i'm fat, ugly and pretty boring but i've a lot to offer. Like i said, i just gotta wait for that "one" guy to come along that can take me as i am.
Chin up!! |

Meh, you can't really put all your eggs in one basket. The best way to meet people is the good old fashioned way, through friends / work / social gatherings / etc. Meeting someone face to face is going to be much better than an online profile. You tend to lose the "human" aspect and are now just a paragraph or two and a couple of pictures.
Find a group that centers around something you like to do or volunteer at some events, you'll start meeting new people and making new friends which could lead to "the one". It's all about networking, online dating sites are just one avenue. |

It's all about networking, online dating sites are just one avenue. I find this very true. Though I rarely date, men are often screened through real life friends who give they the "yeah" (sp) or "nah" as to whether to approach me. I know it's old fashioned but it really does work. |

Do you send emails/nudges to people? The reason why I ask is that I didn't use to, but now I'm a bit more proactive. If someone views me and I like the look of their profile or them, I’ll send him an email.
As others have mentioned, you also to have a lot of patience as the saying goes...you might have to kiss a few frogs (or tadpoles)... Good luck |

If you're not sending emails, start browsing profiles and contacting people. Or, take a look at the list of people who have viewed you and look at their profiles. If you find someone interesting, send them an email. |

It's all about networking, online dating sites are just one avenue. I completely agree with this. A site like this should not be your only way to meet people. It should only be an additional way. I've found groups around my city that do center around activities I enjoy, volunteering, or are just social groups. That's how I've met several people in my area. I really only stick around this site for the forums, as there are very, very few locals who are active. |

too much negativity for my liking. men look at a lady's profile to she has what THEY want. nobody enjoys reading what you don't want. people only have so much patience for reading profiles. spend your words more wisely by saying things that will entice them to message you and lose the crap that says keep far away. get the guys interested THEN decide if they're your cup o tea.

 It's the opposite for me the only thing is I just would like friends and not dating cause I'm just not ready yet but I always like having friends just to chat with and they want to talk to me and get more serious, but be patient I'm sure the right one will come along

I don't think my profile is negative I just say it like it is I know what I want and I won't settle for less! If that comes off as negative than that's your view point!. Sorry that I won't waste any more time with losers or 60 year olds that are older than my own parents or someone just looking to party!!. I mean okay so I haven't had any one contact me but at least when someone does I will know right away that they are worth my time!. Also I think I list a lot of my good qualities and give guys a pretty good start to who I am. I just refuse to settle for less and I am not sorry about listing the things I am and am not willing to put up with! |

I just refuse to settle for less and I am not sorry about listing the things I am and am not willing to put up with! why ask for people to rate your profile if you already have all the answers? as for age, you can adjust your settings to limit messegase to a certain age group. no need to talk about people as older than your parents. and yes, i'm sure you'll know right away if someone is worth the time as everybody here actually does read every profile word for word. |
