| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 12:31:10 AM | So, I've been on here a little while. The first few days I got mail and sent mail. I was getting replies and things were fine. This week, within the last two days or so, every one has stopped all communication!! What gives? Even the people who responded previously no longer respond to my mail. I tried emailing new people tonight and still nobody responds!! (I just see read, read deleted)
I had a picture up. I took it down. I've had it with this site and am about to delete the account.
Any advice or should I go? | |

| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 12:49:20 AM | Well, in response to the receiving lots of messages the first few days you were on here...I think that might have something to do with having a "new" profile. People can search for new users and so that might create a surge of emails. I know when I first joined at the beginning of this month I was getting several emails a day from guys. That has slowed down considerably. I still get messages from time to time but nothing like that first week I was a member.
Not having a picture up is going to be a huge factor on whether girls email you or respond to your emails. I would say if you are going to stay on the site, put a photo back up. Preferably one that is a clear head shot.
If I were looking at your profile I think your user name might turn me off. Reading here I can understand why it is "sitesucks" but if I was browsing or if I had gotten an email from you, that would convey anger to me and I wouldn't want to talk to someone who was feeling angry. Know what I mean?
Good luck to you! | |

| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 1:54:34 AM | Hey,
You have to actually have a profile for women to want to communicate. Your profile is devoid of any real info at all. What you do have on your profile is completely negative. Your profile name isn't going to get you many responses, so change it to something cool or fun, unique. Put a picture up most women are adamant about seeing a picture of who they are talking.
The goal should be if you have trouble with the dating scene, you will fix that problem. Fixing the problem will be done by being creative, well spoken, and by selling yourself well. Talk about you and what makes you feel alive. Talk about what traits you like in women. If you have a sense of humor make jokes in your profile. I'd say it's pointless to give up because looking at your current profile you haven't even tried yet. | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 5:09:02 AM | | If that is the profile you intend to keep up, then yes. Just delete it and give up. Until you change your "woe is me" attitude, all you are doing is giving out negative vibes. | |

I'd say it's pointless to give up because looking at your current profile you haven't even tried yet. Lazlo has it exactly right. There is nothing in your profile that would make someone want to talk to you. | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 7:57:35 AM | 12 whole days and you haven't found the one yet? Gyp! You should ask for your money back.
Or - You could consider that your profile and your attitude are the real sources of this suckage of which you speak. I've been doing profile reviews long enough to recognize that it's pointless to add anything constructive. I know your type, it will be sometime before you get it, if ever, and the heap of dead profiles is about to grow... | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 8:15:46 AM | I must admit that your profile ranks right at the bottom of all that I have looked at. Is this meant to be a joke??
On-line dating requires 3 things.
1. A good profile 2. Good photos 3. Good initial email
After that it is pretty much like any other dating.
If you are not doing the first 3 you will be unlikely to get to that first face to face meeting!!! | |

| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 8:36:39 AM | Hi Mr.SiteSucks…I just rewrote my profile modeled on yours (see below).
I don’t mean to hijack your thread, but maybe you can see what’s going on better in my profile creation than in yours.
Would you write to a woman who wrote the profile below?? I do admit….it might be good for April Fool’s Day! Hope this helps. Best to you. DenverSky5280
MY NEW PROFILE MODELED on YOURS: Dating in real life sucks. This site sucks. Nobody wants to date me anywhere, anytime. I don’t have a photo because you may think my photo sucks. People say I’m intimidating. I don’t know what the problem is. Behind my back they probably say I suck. If I favorite you, pleeeease write to me and tell me I don’t suck. I’ll be checking my mail every fifteen minutes. S.o.S. (Site Often Sucks) Ms.SiteSucks | |

Where I live the dating scene sucks for me. Well, I guess regardless where I live it sucks for me. I don't know why I'm single, but someone once said I'm intimidating. I don't know what the problem is, but I don't intentionally scare girls away...
If you find yourself on my favorites list, then feel free to write me. I want to hear from you!
Scrap the first paragraph. If I were a woman, I wouldn't want to date you because (a) if the dating scene sucks where you live, what are we going to do? (b) if it sucks for you anywhere, why would I ever want to date you? (c) intentionally or not, you say you are scaring girls away - why would I be any different from other 'girls'? Women is a better word, anyways. You aren't trying to attract girls, are you?
Scrap your last line. It's a needless filter.
Now you get to start over with a positive profile. | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 8:59:11 AM | Well DenverSky, I had already made plans to sell my house here and move out your way so I could date you but with that new profile, I have changed my mind!!!

| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 8:59:58 AM | | My profile is nothing like that, but nobody is interested. I have messaged many but very rarely get any replies. Is it just me or are most of the women on this site just phony? I wish someone would tell/help me. I'm so lonely..,I would welcome a home invasion! | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 9:08:16 AM | Ratchet, If you want a profile review, you need to start a new request. But as to your question, there are lots of ladies on here who are interested in dating and relationships. See my post above for what it takes!! Ron | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 9:28:08 AM | Ya see Mr. Site Sucks… My profile modeled on yours turned off my best prospect for dating! Darn it! (sniffle, sniffle).
Moral: Sucking isn’t a welcome attribute in Profiles…on the other hand…some folks can get away with sucking in real life.  | |
|
| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 10:15:24 AM | Well maybe our OP has not had time to digest all that has been said on this thread. Although there is much that has been said with humor, there is truth in all of the comments.
In reality, the ladies can get away with a bit less in their profiles if they have good photos but I personally pass them by if they have little to say or if they are negative, even if they have good photos. A guy needs to step out a bit, just like in real life. Like it or not, the guy tends to be the pursuer. Like the peacock, you have to show your best attributes!!
Damn, Denver with that comment you now have me questioning my decision. To move or not to move that is the question. Ron | |

| Major Confusion Needs Resolution Posted: 10/30/2009 10:24:13 AM | I’m bad…blame it on the pre-Halloween blizzard and being snowed in for 48 hrs. Let me outta here! LOL!
Just pointing out, Mr. Site Sucks….there is a time and place for everything. Humor and a bit of flirting….even somewhat risqué double-entres go a long way to getting the opposite sex interested….or at least chatting. Best! DenverSky5280  | |
