You NEED to change that name. It's scaring away most of your prospects. Next, you have to get someone to take some more pictures of you out and about and make sure you show that big smile in them! Next, show us what you would send a woman for a first contact message. Here... I'll provide you with an example of something you could use, with a few specific alterations to make it suit your style as well as the profile you are reading:
----------------------------
Hi there!
I just read over your profile and I have to say I love what you've done with the place! We share a lot of similar interests as well as a passion for the sea. Have you ever sailed the coast up through New England before? When I was young we made the trek once a summer, where we'd stop for chowder on the docks and whale watch. I'm hoping to get back out there in due time.
You mention your love for dogs... what kind do you have? As the pictures indicate I've got two pugs who are like my babies! Okay, they are more like the co-owners of this franchise but I try and delude myself otherwise. I'm not sure which dog park you use but maybe we've crossed paths and didn't know it! I'd be the big dude with the two pugs, in case you missed it! ;-)
Well, upon first impressions I sound like a wonderful woman and I'd like the opportunity to get to know you better. Read over my profile and if you are interested we should set up a time to chat here or by phone! If not good luck with your searches!
Sincerely,
Txx
-----------------------
But show us what you use Demo and we'll spot you from there.
As for unsolicited email I definitely get more than zero. | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 5:37:37 PM | What should I change my screen name too? Please help me out. I think that as long as my brother has a girlfriend I am not meant to have a girlfriend.
He is 2 years younger than me and most of his days with the same girl I am without a girl. This is so unfair to me. I have been jealous of him. | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 5:48:43 PM | Hi Demo, I'm not sure if Deuce is on~line right now; I copy/pasted what he suggested you change your user name to and which picture would work better for the main one. This information is below:
Another idea would be to change your name to something less aggressive. How about Tiny Seaman? Yes, I know the connotation but it's funny and fitting and it'll attract attention. Also, go with picture number three (the one that says “this is me with the older pug”) as your main.
Try not to worry so much about your brother finding a girlfriend buddy, lets just concentrate on you and getting this profile working for you. I know it's not always easy but use a little patience and you'll be fine.
Good luck : ) | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 6:35:07 PM | | Demo, send Deuce an email and explain to him why you went with that name. It's important for us to know what that name means to you alright? | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 7:12:47 PM | Okay my edit time ran out while I was checking on something. Don't use that name if it has anything to do with an email adress or with using it anywhere else on the internet. And I did find a problem with where you edited in your new headline.
This is what Deuce suggested:
Kindred spirit required: Apply within
This is what you have there:
SKindred spirit required: Apply within
You need to go back in and edit that; remove the *S* off the beginning of kindred. | |

Posted: 6/23/2008 8:20:28 PM | Timothy's his name Maggie, and he's 25. I called him Super T before if you recall.
I still think you are going to have more luck at a special needs site where everyone is on a level playing field. You are asking an AWFUL lot of a woman who does not have a special need to select you out of a group of men who likely aren't in the same boat as you, no pun intended. It's really unfortunate because I think you are a beautiful mind Tim but the nature of the beast is harsh. Is your brother autistic also? How about his girlfriend? Does she have a sister or a cute cousin? Girl friend?
Do you volunteer at all in the community? I'd suggest getting involved with a local group or two to get out and meet new people. Try and volunteer your services with like-minded folks and maybe you'll find someone in that arena. I'm just trying to think of other possibilities for you big guy. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 5:42:25 AM | | I don't drive and getting to places can be an issue. My brother doesn't have any special needs. My brother's girlfriend has a sister and 2 brothers. She too doesn't have any special needs. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 6:31:28 AM | | You may have to accept the fact that you need to be looking in the special needs areas for love then. If you find it through the regular channels then I applaud you but I think you are wasting much of your time sifting through the flour looking for that granule of sugar. In real life where a woman could experience the true magnificent of your personality she might have a chance to fall in love with you just through regular interaction but on here it's fairly evident that you have a special need and while it may seem a bit shallow they will likely pass you by because of it. To be honest if a woman contacted me who had bad MS and was confined to a wheelchair and I had other options even if she was absolutely gorgeous and everything I wanted I'd probably still consider all the other women in my inbox first. It's just how it is. But if I were to have met this woman in real life and gotten the opportunity to see her personality it'd be a completely different story. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 12:02:20 PM | | I think that I have people to take me to places. I think that there should be a disabilities forum since this site is so popular. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 12:50:53 PM | | There is also a site called acdate.autistics.org. I even have a profile on that site now. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 1:51:37 PM | | I'm going to do you a stiff one here Tim... I'm going to lobby a moderator or three for this forum to happen. I'll see what kind of strings I can pull. Give me some time to work my magic. | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 3:01:15 PM | Great idea Deuce : ) I'm sure that other members would get on board with that as well.
Hang in there Tim; and be sure to fix that error in your headline; just remove the *S* from the beginning.

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:38:38 AM | | I posted my replies on my thoughts for this forum. It's most certainly hard for a special needs person to find a date. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:46:13 AM | | Tim, I'm beginning to think this forum will not become a reality regardless of how hard we push nor am I totally sold on the idea yet, even though it was kind of my idea! LOL I still think you should put your efforts more into the special needs sites we've suggested. Some of them should have forums as well for discussion, and if not there are other special needs forums out there. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 9:19:57 AM | This shouldn't stop me from using this site. So much the less search results on those sites but other than online dating I am having people help me find a girlfriend. People assist me on the look out and I give them all a list for match making.
I am part of a support group and a guy who started the group with his mother uses this site too along with OK Cupid. | |

Looks like both of the mods are against it. The second one just piped in. And while the admin can overrule them, I think, I strongly doubt that will happen. Sorry, Deuce.

Absolutely. Forums have little to do with finding someone. They help a lot in figuring out what to do and how to do things, sure. But the special needs forum will likely not change things. There are already a lot of people helping you, and there is always a possibility to start relevant threads on current forums. | |

This thread has been closed onto that link.
I was busy with fan fiction and posting threads on the Internet Movie Database.
I one time met a girl on O K Cupid who's a fan fiction writer. Maybe it's my special needs that my e-mails creep her out. There are prayers said for me. | |

Posted: 6/28/2008 7:15:52 PM | Hi Timothy, I still did not get a note from you asking for my help. Do you still need me to come help you?
We are all praying for you buddy, keep your chin up, and keep working at it. And if there is anything you ever need help with, you do know all you need to do is ask, and we will do everything we can to help you.
Best wishes
