What am I doing wrong here?Page 1 of 1    
I'm so confused here. I've gotten a lot of profile views since I joined, but only maybe 4 or 5 girls have responded to messages I've sent. Is there some kinda secret I'm missing here? Ladies, can you give me some advice?

it depends... do you kinda come off creepy like me when you send messages?????
I usually start of with something that sounds like.................

"Hey I know you hear this all the time but I love how you like to read books..... What I really wanted to talk to you about is those big ole eyes and them lips like an unholy saint...... anywho... I like scrapbooking and im already adding you into my scrapbook of love... anyways... I love you.. buh-bye".

^^^try that out.... and if that doesnt work........ change your display picture... last week I took pics with a cowboy hat and told everyone Im a cowboy and they ate that sh*t up... so if you have to.... wear a cowboy hat and take a couple pics..

Views mean nothing here. Like glancing in a store window at the mall.
but only maybe 4 or 5 girls have responded to messages I've sent. Is there some kinda secret I'm missing here?
Pics and profile are what gets replies here. You slapped up two pics and knocked out a boring 5 line profile. What did it take ya like 2 minutes to slap that puppy up?

Put up EIGHT solid pics. Closeup and full length. Inside and out. Use a camera not self pics with a phone or mirror.

You get out of this site what you put into it. So far you have nothing invested. So no surprise the results you have so far. Try and write a profile that makes you sound fun and interesting. Normal looking guys with boring nothing profiles are a dime a dozen here. In your age range the ratio of guys to gals is STAGGERING and they are all messaging the attractive women. Let me take a wild guess and assume you were also messaging attractive women? Normal guys with a profile like yours PRAY for 3 to 5 replies per 100 messages they send. There is your clue for the day. Hope it helps.

Profile reviews, better photos......

Dude, not trying to be mean, but you gotta do something about those eyebrows. They gotta be trimmed up or something, your eyebrows look bigger than your nose.

LOL!!!! Great way to put someone down...But i agree. Dont go for the jersey shore metrosexual pluck. Something clean that will put your other facial features on the map.

Lol GOOD response Cowboy! I won't even GLANCE at a profile with less than 10 lines. Now, ok... they don't need to be a mini novel like mine, but COME on! Me personally, I don't understand the whole "leave some mystery" crapola people try and throw out there. NO thank you! I want to know what's going on with you BEFORE you get creepy! Lol

And yes, not to be mean.. but get a little something done with the brows. Have the girls TEACH you how to do it too though. ;) I didn't see the short profile, but this one is "ok". Still needs a little MORE personality. Profiles that stick with me are some that have random facts that might be seen as cute to women, or lame for men. If your guy friends think its lame, then it is most likely cute to us! As long as it doesn't involve you ind a lacy, floral thong.

Edit: Dammit...you had to go an post twice...you stole my thunder!!! I wanted to be the brow girl. I snoozed...I loozed.

I like two separate eyebrows when a fellow is courting me. Not saying they have to be as nice as mine, but I like TWO. Same thing with testicles. I don't expect a man's to be as big as mine are, but I like two. Just like Noah's Ark.

What are you looking for an ego boost or something? Exactly how many messages do you need to be returned before you actually follow up on the ones you do get? Concentrate on those first.

Yeah, yeah all the profile review stuff, but ultimately it's picking women who aren't attracted to and/or interested in you. You need to hone your sense of that, I'd start by thinking about the type of women who've been attracted to you in the past. One of the most common mistakes here is that many treat the site like an online catalog and only pick those who THEY'RE attracted to, doing that it is a total crap shoot. The more you can develop that sense, the better your chances of not just getting a reply, but maybe actually MEETING someone.

I like the advice frank de tank gave you " something clean that will put your facial features on the map". OP....your a nice looking guy....so he's right about a little less eyebrow so that your other features will stand out.

Am I the only one that thinks it's cute when guy's give other guy's "grooming/fashion" tips?? It seems yall always want to say it in a way that your sure it won't sound girly. lol. Kind of hard to explain....but cute none the less!

I agree with you! It is SUPER cute when guys give guys grooming tips! Maybe they can also suggest "other" manscaping! Heehee
