Posted: 8/3/2009 5:17:03 PM | I seem to have good grammar, I think my profile is intriguing enough for somebody to answer me and I'm polite and I don't think I'm hideous. What's going on?
Well, I get messages back, just not as frequent as I'd want it to be. The sent message ratio to the answer is very low.
I'm just curious of what the problem is. | |

Anyway, i thought women were supposed to get 100+ emails a day from fellas on here? | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 5:35:04 PM | Maybe some guys are afraid of fish......especially a Piranha that wants to chat.  . Hang in there, places like this can be very shallow and the low reply rate happens to a lot of people on this site. | |

That's a fallacy.
I did a snapshot of your profile OP. Started off okay then it went downhill. HALF your profile consists of nothing but your music preferences. Excessive. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:00:15 PM | It is possible that you do not receive as many responses as you would like because you are so very young. Many people are hesitant to date someone who is just out of high school and I am unsure how many people in your age bracket use this site. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. You seem like a nice person and I am sure that you will meet someone soon enough.

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:03:59 PM | I am surprised you haven't been getting many responses purely based on your appearance.
There are a few possible reasons. Your profile is generic. You wrote a few lines about yourself and finished with a list of bands you like. Taste in music is a great thing to have in common with someone, but the last half of your profile could easily be shortened into genres in order to make room for more valuable information. Grammar is misspelled in your list of interests. Even if it were not I am sure you can find something more interesting to write about yourself. If this is something that is actually important to you should at least take the time to make your profile reflect it.
Basically, you need a profile review. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:06:50 PM | You have an age range up to 25....I wasnt even considering dating 18-19 year olds at that age...and the people going to college find plenty of people their age going to college | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:10:12 PM | | Just how frequently would you want it to be? Is that frequency realistic by your standards? What's more important to you, the frequency or the people you meet? I get the feeling you are looking for a confirmation of how "all that and a bag of chips" you are and not really putting that much importance on actually meeting someone. If you were, you would be pleased to know that some people have replied to you. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:14:00 PM | | You look pretty cute and your pictures are good but i'd definitely add at least one full body shot or it looks extremely sketchy given that you said "Average" for body type. Also, half of your written section is a list of 38...yes THIRTY EIGHT...or your favorite bands. In most circles that is considered a tad overkill. Try listing your top 5 or so. Oh and i'd probably reconsider the types of guys you are messaging if you aren't happy with the response rate. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:15:08 PM | Maybe it is my area of the country, but by putting down for interests 2012 and Nostradamus scream the word "loony." As a guy, it might insinuate that I have to bring my own tin-foil hat to the date.
And I agree with one of the other comments highlighted previously: listing half of the rock bands that made it in your profile is a little excessive. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:49:59 PM | | Nostradamus, 2012 and opinions all share one thing...they are open for endless explanations and does not make one "loony". Simply be who you are, some will answer and others will not; however, keep hope alive and you will fine someone. | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 6:59:42 PM | | You're a smoker. Have you been trying to message non-smokers? Most non-smokers are turned off by smokers. | |

The thing is this: you're right in the fact that there are some that are going to be cool with the whole concept. However, it is a double-edged sword; it is going to be a turn-off for those who think that it is as realistic as the Easter Bunny and Santa. It's like astrology in that regard. Now, if it is meant for a screener in order to find the perfect match, that is fine. However, keep in mind that you are "draining the pond" somewhat when you do so, and thus there may be fewer nibbles on the line. | |

This is key. You are very very cute. You are cueing on the wrong guys.

Posted: 8/3/2009 7:13:41 PM | Holy cow! Where to start. Well, you look like you are a mile wide and inch deep. Not much after the looks (though, you are very pretty). Listing a bunch of bands is well, obsessive. Interest, tattoo's...whatever. Smoker well, that knocks out at least half the folks. Age - most folks in your age bracket are out clubbing it. Work on some significant self-improvement. Find out who you want to be when you grow up. It will come in time when you "find your place in the world". As far as answering your e-mails, welcome to the world of on-line dating. Out of common curtesy, do you answer all the e-mails that guys send to you? My bet is "no". They, just like you, did their analysis and determined that you were not for them.
Good luck | |

Posted: 8/3/2009 8:50:32 PM | Cute Gals' Decoder Ring sez:
"anybody" means:
-"the hot guys I like
"anybody" does not mean:
- the guys I emailed on a dare from friends
- the guys I emailed when I was drunk
- the guys who emailed me first and I wrote them back and they wrote me again
- the guys who have no pic on their profile and I asked for a pic but all I got was a long letter of poetry instead  | |
