Hi, I just recently subscribed to this source and wow, it has some really good, short and sweet, and right on target articles.
I highly recommend it to everyone in the relationship forum.
And this article today seemed to be about what has come up again and again here at the CD.
But even if you didn't do any of the things above and took the time to fill out all these details, you may still not get a match because the woman doesn't like your looks. Shirtless guy, just by the simplicity of his response, can probably target a lot more women, thus increasing his odds of actually getting a reply back.
Amusing, again illustrating the different dating or OLD-specific experience of women and men.
I'd forgotten the axiom of 'three paragraphs, max', which actually maps well to a business-correspondence rule of 'no more than 250 words per email'. Beyond that, few have sufficient attention span to catch the nuances.
Regarding Men and OLD: we usually hear deafening silence. Thankfully, very few freaks answer mine (professional, financially secure, presentable, genuinely single). Of those of any kind that do, the overwhelming majority are 300lb women with kids. I must seem like manna from heaven, aka dinner for a predator, or a 'mark'. Insulting, considering that I (like OP) am specific about "fellow professionals," not "the desperate and grossly emotionally disturbed". Desperate is pathetic to a man, we being creatures who thrive on respect and honor. Unless we're desperate too, I suppose.
Every once in awhile, a professional woman will actually respond, or at least not reject my advances. That, I reluctantly understand: men attempt, women choose. So be it, takes time and the patience of a big cat waiting in the tall grass for a man to successfully stalk and bag an interesting catch.
I think I'll take ten desperate quarter-ton housewives over one guy with no shirt sending pictures of his junk, however. So: my condolences to OP.
Last words: of the remaining advice, will only remark on the following:
- Giving money to bums and vagrants with "no regard to where he came from prior to today, and how he'll spend it" aids and abets substance abuse, homelessness/vagrancy, and mental illness. That's just not too swift. Someone has to be pragmatic enough to detach emotion and understand the concept (and act accordingly, apparently).
- 'aptitude for altruism' should actually be 'Espousing, and Practicing, the Greater Social Good of Justice.' Justice means going on the facts, not weak-sister emotions, for life's most important questions. I hang out with fellow men who behave justly, not little girls who can't make decisions for fear of offending someone. Once there is justice, with compassion, we can work on the rest as individuals (or as a society).
- The only creatures I "love unconditionally" are my pets and late parents (presumably too siblings or children, if I had any). Women come and go; I submit that neither gender is truly monogamous over the long term. The above word 'unconditional,' is a euphemism for, "I need a successful man to help "share" in my dreams (i.e. help finance them)". I've observed the behavior enough times to know, not just think, it's near-ubiquitous.
Which brings us to the final point: in the end, the wisest person I ever met (my dad) once said, "Son, each gender learns a fundamental truth rather early, carried throughout their entire lives: women learn how to fake it, and men learn how to lie. This is one of only a few absolutes you'll need to keep in the back of your mind forever, to really understand the man-woman dynamic."

I'm going to guess the quality of shirtless guys replies might have to do with the quality of the rest of shirtless guys portfolio.
If shirtless guy looks interesting in all of the important ways then yes, he probably would be getting some replies.
Also if shirtless guy looks like he's losing the war of the wasteland spread versus if he looks great without a shirt.

Line 1: ROTFLMAO
Line 2: No offense taken as a women, because I know that the statement doesn't pertain to me. I don't need any man to finance ME. I can take care of my SELF. In fact, I've witnessed SOME men trying to be financed by women. I guess they miss mommy.
