I typically sign up for a few weeks and delete my profile, wait a few months and sign up again.

I've noticed the same people from three years ago are still active. There's even dead give aways that the profile is old because they will mention age in the about section while the stats age has gone up by a few years.

Stay on the site as long as you want. Deleting and recreating your profile every few months seems pointless.

I agreed.

I block a guy on one profile and the when he recreates, I think he is new and it is like sifting through the trash for a second time.

If no contact was made the first time around what good is your blocking going to do the second time around?

I'd assume he wasn't interested the first time around and never will be. IMO fresh cow pies are more tastier to the flies.

Humans don't have a "shelf life" no matter what the situation.
If you don't like your profile or you are not getting the results you want get off the dating sites or try a different one.

What I am saying, is if we chatted with the first profile, I decided he was a dud and blocked. Then the next time he starts a new profile he shows back up in my matches.

I have actually talked to the same guys multiple times for this reason. A new profile does not make them suddenly a catch..

I feel like I am in to deep to quit now. Maybe the next contact will be the winner.

Some people get addicted to the process of being on a dating website, and forget the reason they r there.

I think so. Three months at a pop, then go inactive for a month or so.

Deleting a profile entirely and starting over from scratch has one advantage, though: You show up as "who's new" and as a woman, I can say that if there is one thing men like, it's a woman who's "new." That's why, when I relocate, I will delete my OKC profile entirely, even though it means giving up flagmod privileges. When I move, I want to work the whole, "new chick in town" angle.

Depends where you live and your gender. Decent looking women in most (not all) large metro areas can park on Match forever and continue to get fresh validation messages daily. If you are a male living in Fargo, your plan sounds about right, I am guessing.
