I base this on my Tinder results: only 2 years ago when I was 36 I had at least some results, but now at 38 with the exact same pictures I'm getting none. Same thing on Match. I also remember that on Match.com a few years ago the ratio of men/women in my age bracket was even, about 1:1, but now I counted 800 men and 600 women in my area and age bracket.

You might have to change pictures and revamp profile.

Many users on there now may have already seen your picture years ago and not click on it today.

But I don't know if any structural changes have taken place in the past two years.

Maybe that's your problem. It's simple marketing--changing your pictures and profile up every so often will get more attention from people who scroll by profiles they tune out because they feel like they've seen them before. It'll make you look new.

I agree. Put some new pics on vacation at an exotic beach, in a brand new car (go to Miami and rent a Lambo and take some pics sitting on it), pics with hot girls, etc.

I had good luck with tom sellecks picture you might want to try that

I think women just get bombarded with so many guys they are overwhelmed and discouraged (based on history)

update your photos.....and also say more than hi....

you are selling yourself...if you own a house get that in your profile...if you have a good credit score...put that in...

for the ladies you are attracted to initially...go thru their profiles and find something interesting about their hobbies...… don't mention anything about appearances... that turns many off.

if you have hunting and fishing pics on your profile take them off....doesn't impress any ladies..

their are some single forums on facebook…. I met quite a woman in one of those forums..

Good tips I don’t mind the fishing pics though, I’d like to go fishing for real . 🙃 Also, after a couple of messages back and forth, leave your # so they can text if they want to get off the site for awhile.

I really wish that were true, but I notice guys with "fast & furious" style cars and in recent years huge as 4x4's seem to get a lot of attention from ladies. And I've seen many profiles where women specifically Mention off roading as something they like to do even though they don't own 4x4's themselves. but maybe thats cause I live in Texas.



Even if I won a brand new high end vehicle tomorrow in a raffle I would not post pics standing next to it on a dating sight cause I would not want to attract that type.



I remember when I had a crotch rocket going to biker friendly bars there were women in the parking lot who if you offer to ride them around they would run to their car and pull a helmet out of their trunk(yep they owned a motorcycle helmet but not an actual motorcycle.) it was kinda funny.


look up the song "mud cricket" on youtube and it will give you and Idea of the chicks into 4x4's around here.
