I saw your photo on your profile, I don't think you're ugly at all. You're a sweet person so I wish you wouldn't say that about yourself.

Hmm... for online, I guess on average it would be about 2-3 per day per dating app/site. I've had 5 in one day but that doesn't happen too often. I usually respond to about one of those every other week.

In real life, I've been cold approached on the streets/in public about 7-8 times. I've been molested once and almost molested a second time. If there are some new people in the different group of friends I hang out with, there's usually a few guys interested.

Thanks GKelly but I was kidding sort of. I do wonder sometimes b/c I get so few messages in OLD but then I really let my real self hang out on there and maybe it scares them away.

I'm not online.

In real life....I don't get approached more than any other woman. When I go to school a lot of guys flirt with me, and I catch a lot of guys staring at me when I'm out in public. But actual approaches are very far in between.

Last week some guy hit on me.

Not online at the moment, but when I was I received 2-3 per day that i'd consider valid emails. Probably another 5 to 6 emails a day would say "hey babe" or something else similar.

No hits IRL, but I'm ancient.

It varied based on site, location and length of activity.

OKC: 10-15, sometimes more
PoF: 20+

IRL: at least few times a month when I lived in Atlanta.

I think men on these online dating sites greatly outnumber women. This is why we see such a disparity generally between men and women receiving messages..




Online I get virtually no response. Here is the profile..


MLee81 Guitar, Performing, Bonfires, Camping, Hiking, Canoeing


Not terrible but I'm sure there will be recommendations which is fine.


In real life, the chances of me landing a date are much better. I met a girl last Friday night at the bar and have a date this Saturday. Very attractive lady. If I messaged her online i'd doubt i'd even get a response.


Sadly I'm on four OLD dating (two paid) and the intent of meeting people is a very poor prognosis. I've come to the conclusion to save some money and stop paying for these sites.

My impression of your profile is its too brief & doesn't really give someone a sense of who you are. E.g. 'I'm single' elicits the response 'well, I hope you're single, given you're on a dating site'. It doesn't really need to be said. Can you talk about your job a bit more? What made you get into it, do you enjoy it etc. you write you're a foodie - do you cook, do you try different restaurants or foods etc? How often do you go camping? Would you mind if the other person likes glamping ( glamorous camping)? Add some humour.

Whenever I see a brief profile on OLD, I assume the person can't be bothered & they are not after a relationship, more casual sex & that would stop me from responding. Obviously the above is my POV & other people might see it differently. Nice profile pic.

I definitely get more messages online than people approaching me in real life. There are those who stare & those who pass comments (lewd/flattering).
