I started a new profile on a new site last weekend. Not one message so far. Bummer.

Oh well you don't have time to field a bunch of emails from Bubba anyway, lol. But I can't believe that you haven't heard from anyone--you're so pretty in your photo. Edgy ya know? Well keep socializing and I'm betting you'll meet someone.
After a couple of weeks thinking about that, I decided to give this online dating another chance. First impression I didnt expect much out of it but it was really disappointing the first couple guys who wrote me. How long should I keep my profile before giving up on this?? Any tips or comments are welcome here.
You are a woman so you are going to get lot of messages. Why don't you message the ones you like then? What did they write? I have done online dating for over 10+ years.
Finding a relationship isn't easy, just be thankful you're getting that many dates. Most guys can't even get 1, that's gotta tell you you're obviously doing something right. You can't expect to make a long lasting relationship out of every girl you meet. As we've said before.. take it for what it is, enjoy the time and if you meet someone worthwhile go with it.
Its just soooo hard. Had another date tonight. Spent 2 hours with her and have NO idea if she's attracted to me. Its just changed so much because women are always holding out for a better guy tomorrow or the next day. Its ridiculous.
The article never did mention how age is a function. Besides, just getting a lot of messages is not the same as getting a lot of messages that you had in mind. I have lots of messages from "Bubba" but Bubba will never hear back from me. Any man that I consider my "equal" in several of the factors that people look for in finding a partner are looking for younger women and sometimes much younger women. For that reason I don't even bother to message a man if his age range drops to 15 years or more younger than us, even if my age is included in his range, b/c I know that he's hoping for someone much younger and just doesn't want to sound bad.
I've noticed this on the dating sites. This doesn't happen so much in real life. I think men specify younger women online simply because they can. In real life, no one knows someone's age. They approach people who look attractive, and find out the age afterwards. But online, all the personal info is there, so it's easy to order up someone younger. I wonder if those guys get many answers...

If the woman is average looking Jane, she will still gets a tons of messages making her inbox full. The above average ones get like 100 messages a day.
If the guy has good looks and tall then he will do well with online dating.
Not true. I'm tall and as for looks, well who knows (I'm told I am), but its been very difficult for me. I'm not s social misfit either. Maybe a little shy, but not a misfit.
