Okay, I totally get that I'm overweight and that's an understandable hurdle, but there has to be something more than that preventing decent men from replying. I've had a profile on here for years and post updated pictures every few months but have NEVER had a single date. If someone could please read the ad and tell me what it is I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciated it.

Your an attractive woman and your profile isn't to limiting in what you're looking for. I would say it's most likely there are only a few guys in your area and age group. I only guessing on that part since i didn't do a search.

Your profile lacks a "Wow!" factor.

A good example from Dodo_David here. For him it lacks the "Wow!" factor,but for the right guy,it doesn't.

To be perfectly honest...i think your profile is a bit too long. That's it. I wish you peace love and happiness on your quest.

Your profile is great, but nothing truly stands out. If you want to add a little bit of "Wow!" factor, give us some specific point we can latch onto. One of your favorite restaurants/amusement parks, or a book you've recently read, etc, etc. That gives a man something to start with and open a conversation with.

As to having "too long" a profile... I'd rather see a woman with more than enough to say, than not enough.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Actually, I shortened my profile a great deal and took out a lot of details because the feedback I was getting said I was too intimidating. lol Seems like I can't win for losing. I don't know how to define myself with less information.

I stand corrected to each...his own. I wish you luck.
