Does anyone else get this?

I get a good many women checking out the profile, but that's as far as it gets. Most of the women are one's that I've contacted with a message. I think my response rate is close to zero percent now.

Oddly, the person I went with a date last actually contact me first. So I think that makes it 1 in a 1000 lol. I

Maybe it's time to step away from the OLD and give is up

Yeah. all the time. Most women are either shy or they are just checking you out and have no interest after doing so.

The worst you can do is send out a message and if you don't get a reply back then it wasn't meant to be.

You should have taken a break from it a good while ago mate IMO

But glad you are still in good spirits

What happened with that bird you had a date with?

How long have you been OLD? It's taken me a little while to get the hang of it but as I slowly figure things out I've been getting more interaction.

I think the first message has to be more than just "hi, how ya doing?" I've found I get responses when I clue the woman into the fact that I actually read her profile. I like to integrate some of that information into my initial message.

This is all stuff I've had to learn the hard way, but something else that helps is to use a little humor in the first message, not too much, you don't want to come off as a clown. But a little humor breaks the ice. Also, I get comments about my pics. I posted enough pics so that the women can get a really good idea of what I look like, a couple of my travels to asia and africa. The more pics the better.

I think how you summarize yourself is important too. I've had to go back and do some revisions to make sure that my self summary is detailed enough but also concise. But my efforts have yielded results, which is good. It's all kind of a game and you just have to learn how to play it.

Mix it up with Facebook. FB will give you more responses and has less fakes. However, it is not designed for date/romance seekers. OLD is designed for date/romance seekers but is filled with fakes and scammers.

You mean Svetlana with the double d's and perfect face doesn't really want to get to know me?

But her profile says "All I want to do is make love to my man and cook and clean for him." It's sounds so genuine.

It's probably because you are coming up as a match, or you've sent a message and they decide to look at your profile. Either something within your profile is putting them off or they can quickly decide that you're incompatible by browsing through your profile.

It's unfortunate, but sometimes when women respond saying thank you, but no..., some guys respond with a barrage of hostile messages so women learn quickly not to respond unless interested.

They probably got your message, then looked at your profile and then decided they weren't interested.

Exactly. I don't know if I'm interested until I have seen the profile, it's not rocket science

I have a really good looking buddy currently doing OLD and he recently told me he gets a lot of views, but no messages as well.

I told him, women rarely approach men in real life---same applies to the cyber world.

So fella's, don't expect some cutie messaging you from out of the blue, because it rarely happens. If you want to get a date, you got to make the first move; whether it be IRL or OLD

Don't think because you're online your in a special place where women do most of the approaching, lmao.
