It's the truth but yes, it doesn't help to look at it that way.
For instance, a girl that is 25 and attractive will be getting emails from tons and tons of guys of all ages - but how many unique, funny emails that catch her eye? Not many. I've made female profiles before and the email looked like:
hi - you are hot
hi -
hi - you are hot
hi
hi hi :)
:) :) :) :)
Hello - you seem like a really nice person I'm a nice person too blah blah blah
And on and on. So as a guy if you can send something that's unique you'll at least get her attention if only for a couple seconds. | |

More guys tend to take such things as an unanswered e-mail personally, even if they dont admit it. | |

Posted: 6/24/2012 6:09:45 PM | There are many more men and they are getting so few responses compared to women. So they think their profile needs work. I am always amazed at how many obscure, badly lit pics, in sunglasses, with other women, their car etc. that men load.
Women typically have more choice and success, even the more average looking ones. I was thinking the same thing yesterday about the percentages that request profile reviews, and yes many more men are not having any success. A woman only has to put up a provocative pic and some come hither wording and she will be responded to. Men are more visual whereas women need more than that, to be interested, usually.
Women also typically have to be wary as men are the predators nearly always. Men who have it going on dont get online so much.
Some men just random hit, start the sex talk straight away and women get leery and sick of all that. They often do not even bother to read a profile and that is patently obvious. So, very different dynamics with men and women. | |

I think some of the requests are really looking for reassurance and compliments. Tweaking a profile of someone who is obese, unemployed, homely and cant spell, for instance, wont make a scrap of difference. I am amazed that they are even mystified why they dont get responses. If they dont do well in real life then being on the net with so much other competition wont bring them success. | |

Posted: 6/24/2012 6:50:15 PM | I've had my profile reviewed because I wanted other viewpoints. I got advice that I liked and would not have thought of myself and took it. They were simple things like timestamping photos and such. People like me like making a good presentation. If I message someone, and they view my profile, I gotta be able to show I am not like other people on this site. So many of the men on this site and spamming letters just to have the other person open up a bad profile then come online to the forums wondering why they are not getting replies.
Why are the reviews mostly from men? Because there are women on this site getting messaged with nothing more than a photo and a profile description of "Will fill this out later." A lot of them keep wondering why they can't get a quality guy but if they keep getting messages with what they got they are continue to follow their fallacy hoping a good guy will come along. They don't realize that when guys like me see photos of a girl holding an alcoholic beverage with her arm wrapped another guy that I click away from her profile. If they got a review they would be told otherwise. | |
