Lack of response

August 09 2009

Hi out there Like the other guy tonight, I'd love to get some feedback about what I'm doing wrong. Finding this a rather unrewarding process with lack of interest responses. Ok, there's lots of guys on the site and I'm past 40. But I can't even find a friend!! Don't think I look that bad, I'm happy to chat, friendly, happy to send proper photos (but would rather not send anything too explicit). Is there something obviously wrong in my profile or should I give it away? steve

    You'd probably benefit from looking at past posts from guys asking the same thing. Seems to be a Premium member thing so maybe your odds of meeting people are just that smaller because you can't send as many messages. Maybe other guys can cast a wider net?Other than that... your marital status is 'Ask Me'... What's with that? If you're attached, just say so I reckon. If you're not, then this isn't going to help you.Your photos are also on the boring side to be honest.You come across as friendly tho which is good.

    Entertainment your profile descriptions are good, you've put far more effort and honesty than most users in there... but minx is right, your pics are a bit flat mate. Get out with some mates and find some fun exciting adventurous things to do, have a blast, and take some pics while your doing it! Slam them on your profile, show people that you are out in the world enjoying life and feeling great. You're far more likely to find more people to communicate with if they get the impression your fun and exciting or relaxed and comfortable to be with. Take a million pics, find the ones that are most flattering and get them up. Not to say that being deceptive with you images is a good idea, to find a genuine individual on this site is not as easy as it should be, so stay true and honest. there are some great threads on a similar wavelength that might help you... http://www.redhotpie.com.au/Forum/Whats-the-deal-maker-for-you-24217 http://www.redhotpie.com.au/Forum/Flirt-or-message-24335 Theres a few more, trawl through the old posts to see what you can find. Above all... BE CONFIDENT! know that you are a great individual and you have something unique and genuine to offer and be comfortable in that knowledge. Confidence i think is one of the most attractive traits of either sex. Peace out, have fun and stay safe!

    Hey Entertainment. As one of those that has asked this question before I had a look to see what I could add for you. I agree with what most others have said. Having ask me in relationship status straight away will make women think you are cheating on a wife. Now all good and well if that is true, but if it is put it down. Believe it or not some women want married guys because they believe there will be no commitment issues. Others will see that as being dishonest and just pass you by.ANother one is your pics. There are a lot of women who will not respond if you do not have a face pic. Now you have half face pics so I don't know how that rates. I think the write up on yourself isnt bad although I have found that is the least important. By the time women get to that most have decided by your pic and age whether to bother thinking about you. Still if you dont bother there you have less chance. As for why you do not get many responses, realise it is very normal. If you are contacting a woman that is 100km away they will not bother most of the time unless they are out in the sticks themselves. I'm not joking. I have had a response from someone 90km away that said she was only seeing people local to her. I thought an hour away was pretty local. For someone that drives a bit it is.Hope that helps

    Perhaps it's more about the women you are targeting than what your profile reads like????Your profile reads well....although im always a bit suss about face pics with the eyes cut out....why put it up in the first place?? Surely you could take a pic that shows just your mouth and chest?? Be a bit more creative!!!!Oh...and in your initial message.....DO NOT say you are happy to send more pics....it just makes you sound like you're trolling for her msn or email addy. Have more pics in your PG....and if they are....say so.Good luck!....it's a crazy old world out there!!!Just my opinion....BJxxx

    hey entertainment77the main issue I see with your profile is how you have "ask me" as your relationship status, which I read as your hiding somethingand the fact your in Vicgood luck and chin up you will get there other than that you have taken the time to write something other than the profile  builders and there is nothingwrong with your pics...its refreshing to see a smile than a serious look

    Alot of the women on here are out for an ego boost ok I know I'm gunna hit a nerve with quiet afew women but like NILOCTNARG said not even to respond to say no thank you is just good manners, I to have been on here for quiet a few yrs and gave up paying my membership as I found dat the site is mainly geared around women.How sexist can they be a female guest can enter a chat room yet a male guest carnt. Yes I know women get bombarded with 100's of msg dat are quiet repetative but excuse me ladies if a male has taken the time to write an interesting msg at least have the desency to reply even if to say sorry not interested     OK said my peice Firebird1967
