Any tips or comments are welcome here.
Sonia, where do you live? It is amazing how much demographics come into play when it comes to dating, online or otherwise. Phoenix AZ, for instance is an absolute playground for women. Match.com is around 60% men. POF is around 75% men. And the bars are likewise. If you make the look, and you certainly do, your choices here would be endless.

No, I really don't think that's the reason lol

I can relate to that because I also live in a small city. There's more variety of people to meet in large and medium-sized cities.

I agree with the others, just look at it as a way to meet new people as opposed to meeting Mr. Right, and you should do fine.

Not all of the responses will be winners, and not all of the dates will go well. But at least you'll have some interesting stories to tell your friends about!! The main thing is keep an open mind. I remember for a while I was having a hard time even finding logical matches and I had to widen my zip code range. (and I live in a major city no less).

It was just a little tongue-in-cheek; if you think about it that should INCREASE my likelihood of getting a response since I never send messages saying "ur hott wanna bang??"

I bet there's quite a few on that site who would respond to something like that and be down for it. The problem is that they'd probably be pretty ugly and/or trashy.

Its amusing how women think of online dating, like signing up and waiting for messages constitutes some kind of achievement.
