I Have a Question

Okay, so I've been on a couple of dating sites, one for a few months and the other for just a few days now. I've sent lots of different kinds of messages to many different women, and still nobody (as in 0) has replied to me. It's not like I'm asking them to marry me; hell, I'm not even asking them to go out with me! I'm just trying to start some conversation, and I might as well be talking to the wall. Nobody will give me the time of day. Is there some kind of secret to getting people to reply to your messages?

Some dating sites are better than others. Some are for women just wanting an ego stroke... the ones that have instant messaging tend to have more women wanting to meet up. Experiment with different ones. The pictur you use is really important too... get some advice from women on which photo of yourself to use...it shouldn't be too professional or casual.... it should be sexy... when you snap the picture think about kissing or having sex with a hot girl... your face will flush slightly and your eyes will express dominance and desire... key traits to attracting women with a photo.... messages should express interest and desire without being too forward and should always ask a question about something she likes. Even with all these tips you may not receive lots of messages but the women who respond will be mor into what you want. Cheers.

That is hard to believe. Is your profile picture Trump?
Coppercoil · M
That would increase his odds dear.

Forget dating sites. Places like this is where all the cool people hang out
marvingaye · 56-60, M
I'm not being harsh at all ... 'yet' anyway. But there almost has to be something offensive about this guy's profile if no one in 3 months will even respond to a message. He doing something wayyyy wrong.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
It's probably the picture....I meet lots of women on dating sites and the problem they have is a lack of approachability because they show up for a date looking like it's an interview... it's not sexy and doesn't inspire flirting... a key thing to starting attraction.

I'd have to see your dating profile page to make a good judgement as to why you are scaring these girls off. It doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't reply if you guys are all there to get to know each other and date.
marvingaye · 56-60, M
Yes - there's a secret. Paste your 'About Me' from the site here and I'll give you the cold, hard skinny. You should be prime property at your age.

I'm not really sure but I hope eventually things work out
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
Why would you ask her? Just do it... take what you want from women... if they say no stop... never ask a woman for permission.@JP1119:
NoodleJuice · 31-35, F
@Motherfuckerjones: easier to ask for forgiveness then for permission
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
The biggest problem men have tô meeting women is themselves
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Well, I'm not sure dating sites are necessarily the benchmark we should be using to measure our sense of self-worth...

Maybe you're just a loser. Might wanna try gettin' rich and famous....
JP1119 · 36-40, M
It varies based on their profile, but I almost always say hi, I'm John, and tell them they look cute in their pictures. But lately I've given up on dating sites.
Is John your real name? Do you even have a face pic there? Do you have creepy or boring stuff on your profile? Maybe girls don't like to be called cute.. Some people find that to be condescending
JP1119 · 36-40, M
Yes, John is my real name. I do have a face pic there. I've had a friend look over my profile, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing creepy on it. Maybe I am too boring, I don't know.
Hmmm idk either.. I was on some other social site and I ignored most of my messages there too so maybe they have the same problems idk who knows.. Try finding someone you have something in common with to talk about and then go from there.. Instead of just chatting up everyone with a pretty face.. Eh?

I am also on a few different dating sights. What kinds of things do you normally send to people as a first message?
JP1119 · 36-40, M
I almost always say hi, I'm John and tell them they look cute in their pics. Then I usually ask them about something that they seem to be interested in. But it's been months since I've tried. I messaged so many girls, and the only one that would reply to me wasn't interested in meeting up with anybody.
Alexiavoidburg · 26-30, F
try a totally different approach. Make a cheesy joke or something. Going in for the romance kill sometimes freaks girls out. Stay casual at first then slowly introduce flattery and romance once you're well established. It sounds crazy, but for some reason it works
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
Google how to make a great online dating profile.... I hate to say it but 90%of it is your photo... ask women friends of yours to take flattering photos of you.
BeachBum · F
When the time is right, she will appear. The trick is to not look just observe 😉
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Don't forget to tell him the part about not staring...
BeachBum · F
@MarkPaul: ogling is right out! Lol
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
If people don't respond it's your pictures more than your profile... have a female friend take some flattering photos of you.
JP1119 · 36-40, M
Match.com and OkCupid. I mean, I always say something else too based on their profiles, I just always start with that.
tynamite · 31-35, M
There's a 5:1 gender ratio on dating sites, so for every 5 men there are 1 women, for every 100 women there are 500 women.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Yeah but... is getting a response a valid objective? I mean... what about actually connecting with someone in a meaningful way?
marvingaye · 56-60, M
Oh I'd def say he needs some encouragement, too. But I think what he really wants is a message or two.

I can help(probably) if you like, JP.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Do what Donald Trump does... say something obnoxious, controversial, and self-absorbed.
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
This is actually not a bad idea... women love to try to argue with men... start it that way.. be lighthearted and see where it goes.

Muthafukajones · 46-50, M

Auberon · 22-25, M
If I was you, I'd keep trying. Hopefully you can find someone who will respond 👍
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Well, yeah... he probably is. But, he might just need some positive encouragement...
TheNephilim · 31-35, M
I got lucky when I posted on here. Someone liked my post and I messaged them :)
SW-User
hmm. Tbbh, you probably just aren't physically their type.
JuppTupp · C
Just be friendly
JP1119 · 36-40, M
I have been friendly.
JuppTupp · C
@JP1119: then it is not ok not to answer you
JP1119 · 36-40, M
Doesn't that one cost a lot?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Why is everyone being so harsh???
