My question is the opposite. How can I get RID of them from my profile. Those are almost a year old and that 'feature' actually discouraged me from participating in forums. Click here --> FAQ - Forum Posts on Your Profile - How to Show or Delete Them Thread Closed Redundant- Trappedonbayst

Why don't any one in Michigan reply when you send mail on here Posted: 11/7/2006 3:47:44 PM
Wow, you sound like quite a catch! <==fish humor. Not sure who you have contacted but here is a checklist of sorts that might help... I would be sure and read a girl's ad VERY carefully before contacting her. It shows respect. I normally respond to all but if someone from lets say Ohio sends me something and my ad specifically says LOCAL in the first line AND I state I am not interested in 'chatting', etc. then I do not feel obligated to answer since they obviously did not read my ad or maybe they did and chose to ignore what I wrote. If the latter is the case...if you address an issue specifically like 'I know you don't like blah...but ...' and state your case, you can sometimes get past a 'deal breaker' with charm or wit. At least you should get a response for being 'amusing' The other thing I would do is stick to my age bracket and race at least for starters especially if you are new to this. It is easiest to connect with people in your peer group. Not saying 'race' because you are of color, this goes for anyone. People who date outside the norm are just a smaller minority and it is tricky to respond (even negatively) if this is the reason for no interest from someone you have contacted dig? And finally, Always be sincere and polite (and funny if that is you) and at the very least people will think well of you. Even if it does not net dates, you may still get some chat buddies in the meantime who may have friends just right for you or maybe even be able to give you some input on what you may be doing wrong, etc. Best of luck getting responses! kat

Ladies, I have a question for you- Posted: 11/5/2006 2:11:55 AM
Well, for starters, your profile is somewhat negative and contradictory. Not sure what to think. Looks aren't the problem I'm sure but get another pic for variety as the 2 you got look too similar. Maybe rewrite your ad with a bit of focus on one or 2 key points like maybe what you are a student for and why, etc? Your interests are interesting and varied so maybe your first date paragraph should reflect something there and not sound so negative and demanding (and cheep). If you really want to get that idea across, there are nicer ways like a gentle reminder about your current student status being prohibitive or something but definitely end on an upbeat note. There are tons of FREE stuff to do so go for creative and show THAT in your profile maybe. You also might want to review what you write in your contact emails. If you just say HI or something, then what you have in your ad is much more important than if you send an email specifically addressing the intersts or ad of your intended. hope this helpz a bit! kat PS: perhaps concoct a little romantic dream sequence with you seranading on your guitar or something? that is if you wish to keep your mention of victorian dreams,etc. in your ad.

Do Americans Hate Canadians Posted: 8/24/2006 3:18:11 PM
If you treat the relationship as a 'long distance' romance from the start, I don't see what the problem would be. If someone lived Indiana/Ohio would be same set of difficulties. I have my own reasons for seeking local. I am born American but my parents and relatives all Canadian (Ontario/Manitoba) so yea, I know what is meant by 'real'. Not much of it here...Many Americans prefer to make fun of others (like Canadians) to boost their egos or something. Possibly due to insecurities resulting from a lifetime of exposure to non-PBS television programming? I bet Canadian kids can name all the provinces. heh heh

Why do women seem to want men taller than themselves? Posted: 8/21/2006 5:26:32 PM
"I have dated guys my size..5' 3"..no problem..but they still had a problem with it when I wore heels...he called me amazon woman...jeesh....it's not a big deal but then..they treat it like it is..." The above quote is a common reaction. People I know call it 'Napoleon Complex'. Never personally went out with a man under 5'10" that didnt have some sort of manifestation of it. Sometimes just harmless remarks, sometimes not. I dont blame women for it either. Boys are cruel to each other growing up... I'm a short stuff and having tried all different sizes of men, I have several personal reasons for preferring taller men (other than the above) with a couple of them being that when my weight goes up and down 20lbs over the years (which happens to most women) I dont have to stress about having a larger waistline than my man (vanity), then there is the protection factor for someone like me that enjoys going to places like downtown Detroit, etc. for entertainment. If you dont think people size you up as a couple for 'pulling something' then you are dangerously unaware. The rest of my reasons are 'personal' but yea, there are more...

I agree about the age requirement being out of line. You only are looking for men that are at LEAST 9 yrs younger than you? That is not realistic. I'm guessing some would-be suitors got their email attempts rejected trying to contact you. Also, have you considered posting yourself on one of the many christian sites? There seem to be quite a few these days. Just do a search on christian dating michigan or something and see what comes up. Good luck in your search! kat

Men and Distance Posted: 7/25/2006 12:32:14 PM
Am I the only one who knows what susieQ is talking about? Yes girl, your perception is correct. But there ARE the exceptions. I've met a couple. Interesting tho that both of them hadn't been single for more than a year...Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not but thought it worth mentioning. The other locals weren't really compatable so possibly they contacted me BECAUSE of my location? The best local contacts for me were the real young ones, I tell them right off 'friends only' but they dont seem to mind and it is great to have somebody to 'go up to the corner' with or to catch a movie, etc. with. I DID have many things in common with them though so turning them into 'activity partners' was easy. I even helped one of them meet his future wife so be patient with the locals, the good ones will find you

What Does Long Term Mean? Posted: 7/23/2006 8:13:48 PM
Dating: shopping to shop Short Term: leasing? Long Term: shopping to buy Dating is a necessary indicator for someone who isn't emotionally ready to be looking for something serious or just plain not looking for something serious. Dating generally means 'keeping it light' but it also means non-exclusive. I like that this site distinguishes between the two. Naturally if you are looking for something exclusive you are going to be more attentive and expect the same in a prospective partner. Otherwise, just check 'hang out' or 'friends'. You bring up a good point. It is always good to find out what the 'other' person is looking for to be sure you are both looking for the same thing.

Why do most women wait for men to contact them when they date online? Posted: 7/20/2006 12:01:28 PM
As a woman, I see nothing wrong with just a HI to a guy. It opens the door in the case he maybe hasn't seen your ad or something. If a man ignores a simple HI, or even is polite enuf to respond that he is not interested, you haven't invested much thought at that point so feelings 'should' be spared. At least in theory. If somebody really IS shy, that should probably be in their ad as it is a major personality trait and maybe could result in some first contacts coming TO them if that is what they prefer. Then there is always the 'say what you want' approach which would be putting in your ad that you DO enjoy being contacted. Something such as 'all replies answered' or something similar might attract some contacts...
