I have been on a dating site for about 2 years and have little luck other than the ocasional fling. I put that I make 35-50 grand is that the reason? Could it be the pics they don't show my body too clear in them just my face. What I write? What could I write to make you want to get to know me better I'm just getting beyond depressed about being alone. To top it all off I met a girl who I was writting to who ended up being a russian scam artist asking for money. I never sent any but it was one more nail in my heart. Can somebody advise me here?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/24/london-review-books-personal-ads these are funny. With whatever profile your writing, try and differentiate yourself somehow. If that fails, remember, people are vain- get your sex face on and smile for the camera.
I'm thinking about just mail ordering a bride women in the US are shallow it seems and I don't know what else to do.
That'll be $1995 plus shipping and handling. But wait, order in the next 10 minutes and we'll throw in the mother-in-law absolutely free
Don't list what you earn. Lordy, that is secret until at least the 5th date...... What are your interests, passions, music you like. Talk about things you like as that is who you are. That is who the person will want to contact. Make some of those points in a fun light hearted way.
Maybe you could give the dating site a rest for a little bit and get out into the community and involved in some activities. Once you start being around people more you'll likeley be less self consious in general which will help you to give a better impression to potential mates. I just get the impression that you are kind of desperate and maybe people pick up on that when they read your profile or chat with you.
am not sure that dating sites work do they? whats what you earn got to do with it, if someones just interested in the contents of your wallet, your better off without them. just be you would be my advice, i think that when we try too hard to come across as interesting as some of these people obviously do, it shows and theyre probably not who they say they are at all as you found with the russian scam artist. a few years back, here in england, people used to meet in supermarkets, as you can spot a singleton by the contents of their shopping basket. presumably you eat and shop, sorry don't mean that to sound patronising, but why not give that a go instead and try to meet someone real, not virtual. you sound like you need a hug so heres one for you :grouphug:
bit of both I think you should get out there and meet people. It's probably wiser than trying to meet people on the internet anyways.
Try another site? Dont write how much you make, since it's going to attach the females who look for a sugar daddy type thing. Get a fullbody shot with a smile. Dont sound too cocky, selfish, needed or desperate. LOL @ scam artist. Im guessing this site is not a typical dating site, but overall some marriage site? Im guessing you're on a russian dating site.. where all the females are beautiful? Yeah.. those are scam artists buddy. And basing you just on that, You wont get an attractive 20 year old with blonde hair, and big tits, with a banging body, because 1) u arent rich, 2) attractive (if 1 applies). Then look for FEMALES YOUR AGE.
maybe you should try dance lessons. go out and tango or salsa. dancing is how my mom found her husband that she is still together and in love with. its a good way to get close to girls with out seeming awkward or threatening and it makes a lot of girls melt. good luck to you, dont give up.
No I was on Match they try to get you to email them on yahoo. I am thinking you guys are right. I should get out but the thing is I live out in the country 12 miles from town I don't really know what to take lessons in. I'm very shy as well.
I want to thank you wonderful people for all of your suggestions. It just gets harder as I get older. I'm going to be 36 soon and that sends you into a totaly new catagory with the 40 and up crowd.
