I respond to all emails, good or bad.Ithink most people get" what I need" mixed up with "What I want", and let good ones get away.

Same thing like real life dating.
The woman waits for the man to make a move. The man makes a move. The woman either responds or rejects.

Or some women just don't respond at all wich sends mixed signal to the guy and if he is a gentleman he won't make another move, cause he does'nt want to annoy the lady in question...but IF the lady in question had the courage to ANSWER the proposition either with a NO or a YES then this gentleman would FINALLY know where he stands.

The question should be, What are "you" going to do about it? You might try showing yourself friendly...make the first contact. Send e-mails...let women know that you are interested. If you had contacted me I would have e-mailed you right back...not to pity you but because by nature I am a people person. Some women feel intimidated by goodlooking men...even goodlooking women feel intimidated by men that look as good as they do. I hope you are not trying to get women based on just your looks.

You have to be open and ready for people to meet you. Dont just stand with your hand extended waiting for people to come up to you...sometimes you need to make the first move. My Father would stand after church and wait for people to come to him to shake his. You have to reach beyond yourself even if it is awkward and smile and greet people the way you would want to be greeted...

My suggestion is to be interested in people make them want to be interested in u rate people because after you rate them they post the ones that gave the ratings thats a start...hve fun with the system...

and meet someone....tell them you like their profile or their smile was pretty or they have nice hair even try IMing people that works too... Good luck

It seems like some persons get more e-mail than others. I would not let it get to me. I used to think it was rude when I did not get a response. You have to look at it this way quality far out ways quantity. Those that are not truthful will be found out sooner if not later. You just have let it be known in your profile what you are all about and I have to admit a pic does hurt if not at first ,when replying at least.

Yes Helen1234...the guy is supposed to make the first move....and the woman either responds or rejects....but for me, the few women that I have messaged on here never have even let me know either way. I guess with them not responding, that should tell me something.

For me, I think it's only polite to respond and let the guy know that they aren't interested. Maybe that's stupid thinking on my part...but that's how I feel. I respond to all messages.

Most of the guys on here are probably looking for sex anyway...you would probably not be surprised at the amount of e-mail i get due to the fact of my picture as they say looks sexy...hey the picture is just a fluke anyway...so that shows men can't tell the difference between what is a real seductive picture or a sneeze...thats right people...that picture was due to me not being able to hold back a sneeze while my daughter was taking the picture...so see how people get their wires crossed but then again I use the picture because it does look seductive...

In my profile however I tell them exactly what I'm looking for and most of them shy away because they are not looking for a woman to be truthful because most of them are just wanting sex...period!

So how do we weed out the ones that makes it hard on the real ones that are looking for a relationship? I am really a very sexual open person when Im with the right person, but I'm not looking for sex...so again how do you weed out the ones that makes it hard on the ones who are looking for a good woman to have a relationship with?
then the question goes to you..."Why don't..." What makes women believe you are not sincere enough to talk to? What are you looking for ? How do you approach a woman.

I seem to be having the same problem you are having. I can't get anyone to respond to any of my emails as well. I get looks all the time but I've tried many different site and haven't had much luck there either. I think there are a lot of woman on here that are looking for the same thing I'm looking for but they don't respond with any feedback. I was told once that you have to lie to them in order to get laid. What's the point if you have to lie and be dishonest. I just can't do that and I guess that's why I can't get laid. I have just about given up on even trying anymore. I didn't have any problems when I was younger and I thought woman wanted men with experience but in my case that is not happening. If they only knew what they were missing out on.

Has a woman actually answered the forum question? I'll Have to go back & check cause I didn't notice. Staryder, I guess your 1 of the lucky few (cheers ). Someone mentioned that a man is supposed to make the 1st move. I disagree. ... Later is Greater... I'm Out.

hmmm it,s funny to me that the person that posted this: (Same thing like real life dating.
The woman waits for the man to make a move. The man makes a move. The woman either responds or rejects.) has never responded to either an e-mail or an "IM" message that i have sent them goes to show some people just talk b.s.

I'm sorry...I know how you feel. But I kind of have this thought going on that there are a lot of people on on this site, just as there are in sites like, eHarmony and Match.com that really aren't on here anymore. Even when a person goes off a site the profile is still there. The site tells you that your profile is closed but I don't think it is closed. So someone see's the profile, likes it, emails it, but no one answers. I think it is b/c the sites like to keep their numbers up for marketing and advertising even tho' they don't really have the huge memberships they claim to have. So don't take it too personally...half the time there just isn't anyone there to respond.

saw this after my initial reply.

my answer to you, having a picture helps. people, whether they're male or female, like to be able to see who they're talking to.

just a thought.

I don't own all the glamour and I don't lie about it. All I have is my passion and divert attention. however, it's never good enough. Most women don't believe anything they hear anyway. I'm a soldier, so I'm used to it. I'm stamped I guess.

I think the only solution is to meet someone off line. Go to a club and take control of a crowd.

I agree with you, and sometimes I go to see what other guys are saying about themselves on the same site to see if I'm just not really saying much. And you no what, it wasn't even that. Cause guys in general on the whole site aren't getting written back to. Sometimes you can be as witty and funny as hell on your comments, and women will still disregard it. Another thing is that some women... no scratch that most women just like to profile and show themselves off to guys and try to get us back from being hurt which has nothing to do with us or what we're looking for. Cause if it did we would be doing this instead of this and this

Well, the whole idea of on-line dating is fundamentally flawed. As a single man and a Software Developer, I could go on and on about the reasons why. Dating in general is just something that doesn't work well online. For example, have you noticed that there are no online dating sites with a true vested interest in your personal dating success? This site, for example, gets money from clicks on Google Ads, not from folks who have come here and been successful in their dating.

eHarmony is one of my favourite examples because they work so hard at convincing people that they can help people get good relationships using a seemingly sophisticated test. Problem is that no matter how sophisticated that test is, it isn't sophisticated enough. Human interaction is ridiculously complex and takes place on multiple levels of consciousness. Think I'm kidding? Think I'm just wrong? Did you know that a person can evaluate a partner's genetic compatibility based on personal scent alone with about 90% accuracy? It's subconscious, of course, and it is exactly the sort of thing that will *NEVER* get into a database. If eHarmony were so great, they would be posting their successful statistics and publishing scientific papers... but they don't do that, do they. Hmmm.... wonder why. ;-)

True social exposure is the one true panacea for loneliness. You can't get it in a book. You can't get it in a box and you can't get it sitting at your computer. You have to leave your house and meet someone. The more someone's the better. This is why I keep pushing parties, socials, meetings etc.

How true it is..

Some of us have been speaking of this in other forums too.

There's an element of competitiveness between the sexes when we take it online. One which doesn't prevail nearly to the same extent in the real world, and clearly that environment reduces the interaction that might normally be expected.

The advantage to being online is broader horizons, the opportunity to meet more people, but seldom a more enthusiastic inclination to mix with more. Sadly enough though, even the ones who seldom interact by email, the ones who read-delete, and who won't tend to answer messages, are usually wishing things were much better online too. Go figure!

The danger is I think, taking it personally. Unfortunately, it happens to literally everybody. Explaining that phenomena with any logic however, is difficult at best. Human beings are interesting creatures.
