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.
PTS, you sound like a recruiter Have fun. You can enforce some dress code, so the guys come in formals and a tie

Since you've been doing that for a while...have you considered perhaps doing some contacting? I mean, it's logical that some of the more eligible guys on there might be contacted or generally not on there very long before meeting someone?

I guess if you are happy with your results it's cool but I've heard several gals say they have had better results (and less scum) by doing the picking themselves.

It could work. I may give it a shot.

You know, that's part of it...that they typically dress well. Most of what I want and like is already there.

It's a bit distracting, but fun nonetheless!

Okay, I didn't eat dinner and now I'm getting hungry. That's my only excuse for posting that.

What I'm really dreading with all these meets is that I have to do the makeup/hair/dress up thing for the next 4 days and then again 2 days next week, so far (the 2 for next week were set up this evening). I might do that once a week now, just to go out with friends.

I'm gonna be a once a week gal once I find "the one", so this is only temporary.
