At least I hope so. I had a couple last week that ended up rescheduling for this week and others I've been chatting with who want to meet this week.

I gotta tell yaz, I'm pretty impressed so far. I'd have to say about 90% have turned out to be meet-worthy; including those I didn't quite click with. They have been accepting of me not showing my face in my profile, even when they asked and I turned them down. I know there are no guarantees that they're sincere, but it's the same thing offline.

I really believe that a well written, clear, honest, assertive (not arrogant) ad makes all the difference. Good grammar, some light humor and a forthright approach balanced with grace will attract quality candidates. Sure a few unsavories will slither through, but you can spot them and weed them out.

I'm really seeing a difference, overall, in the men I am attracting these days as opposed to the men I have attracted most of my life. This online gig has really taught me over the last couple of years that I can command pretty much what I want and get it; and it carries over into real life. It has been empowering, really. There really is a market for everyone.

Yep. Go for it. If you aren't happy with the first batch of results then you can always change things up a bit. If I ever post my profile up again I will make some major changes to it based on things my current gf told me about it.

Have you been doing some of the contacting or are you sitting back?

I just sit back and wait for them. I don't think I have ever initiated contact since I started this a coupla years back.

Yes. I have to update it though. I've just signed up (and paid for) dancepartner.com because I am looking for another dance partner. So, I'm primarily concentrating on that one right now because I really need to find another partner. But, hell yeah - if some dude off seekingarrangement wants to buy me stuff ... more power to him! If he's a giver, I'm a receiver!

What is he "giving"? What exactly are you "receiving"?

Is it possible that you are receiving a corn dog?
