I have been on the site for nearly a month and having no success. Although I receive many likes daily from women who are shall I say not seeking a true relationship.
And it has occurred to me that perhaps the women that I send like request to view my self as one of the insincere men.
How do I present myself so women will see my true intentions?

Your profile seems pleasant, though it has one thing
in it that makes me walk away immediately (this may
be peculiar to just me) but every time a person, male
or female rules out their own age the red flags go off.

I keep thinking, why?
You are not good enough or they are not?

Other than that, your emails to them should be killer
to stand out from the masses :-)

Hate to say, but this place is like a garden in a field of weeds.. You're going to have to do A LOT of weeding. Other than the forums.. I've found 2 that were "real". One is too far away, and to young. The other is close, but its not going to happen other than a texting friend, and that has even dropped off.. So... Life goes on.

I have reviewed my profile but I don't see where I specify and age group I am looking for. But true I am looking for someone younger than myself but that's just me.
Please point out for me where I specified in age group perhaps I need to modify that.

your age choice is visible by your mail filters. you have made it so only 35 to 55 can message you. that and all your other mail filters are visible to anyone who looks at your profile

One minor suggestion: wearing sunglasses in your primary photo is likely acting as a declaration that you are insincere. Seeing a person's eyes is the most basic initial way to decide whether or not they are of any interest.

You'll notice that in romantic stories that most of us see all the time, the guys wearing sunglasses, are NOT the ones who are serious about having a relationship. Subconscious trigger effect there.

I haven't looked, but you can go over your profile and look for similar inadvertent off-putting triggers.

I agree I don't respond to guys who wear sunglasses - I want to see their eyes. If the only picture of themselves that they post has them wearing sunglasses I figure they've got something to hide & I move on, but that's just me

I just looked at your profile & you do have one w/o sunglasses, so I take that back.Also some women really don't like tatoos.

Your main picture is too blown up amf grainy (plus the sunglasses)

To me...I would assume it was taken from some where else on the net. I would bypass it for that

So now you have been reduced to a villain in a romantic movie... lol. Leave the shades on... that's YOU.. if the gals don't like that on you.. well then they ain't the right one for you.

Although I agree with what the other posters are saying, at the end of the day it is still your profile and you are the one that has to decide what goes in it and what does not. Do what makes you feel comfortable about your profile. Having said that, keep posting in the forums and you could be noticed by the one you are looking for. Good luck..

You have to create your own topic for a rating

I would totally skip your profile, there's nothing about it that says you're nice or friendly, the two main qualities I look for...

OK guys I understand but I did like that for a reason. To tell you the truth I join mingle just for fun cause I really don't believe in online dating. However, I did get to someone right on mingle we have never met in person but we video chat each other, to communicate we are over 17,000 miles from each other.
