I have been on Match.com for a couple years with only a couple of hits. I really started getting upset because I thought it was me. Turns out 85% of the profiles are fakes if they are female! These guys at match are real assholes they email you posing as a woman and when you respond the profile vanished! Most profiles only last a couple of days to make it look like there is new women coming in. I sent out 257 winks and like 159 emails and the ones that respond disapear in a couple of days. I do know there are some women on there who are real many are looking for somebody to take care of them and their kids. They make under $25,000 but looking for $50,000 and up! It's a joke. Save yout money folks and check out some of the websites dedicated to revealing this bullshit scam!
If you go the online dating route: Might want to ignore the free members and stick with the ones who are regulars. Winks are useless. If she's that interesting, write her a short note instead. I understand if you live in the boondocks and can't meet women, but try your best to meet them in the real world rather than cyberspace. Do you like hiking? Join a hiking club. Are you into homesteader skills? Take a summer seminar at the John C. Campbell Folk School or learn organic farming at http://www.organicvolunteers.com Communes/ Intentional communities? http://www.ic.org Are you a nudist? http://www.aanr.com Just be yourself and do whatever it is that you do and you will attract kindred spirits.
Umm... I remember you posting about how you can improve your profile or something? Did you yet? Cause I think you need to. Females get many MSGs from guys on these sites, that many go to ingore and delete. You need to think of something creative and different to say, read their profile and comment on their hobbies. Saying "hi, how are you" doesnt work with 50 emails they get. Plus I would avoid winks.. that doesnt encourage a female to talk you, it shows nothing. But the fact over fake profile, Im sure there are plently of real ones as well. Try Okcupid, I saw many of females on there, and its more realistic, havnt seem any fakes as of yet.
Maybe things have changed lately, but I met my wife through match.com a few years and I assure you she is very real, as is the divorce we are now going through. Maybe you are not presenting yourself well enough to attract who you are looking for.
In this economy and where I live there was no money and she has treated me very fairly unlike my first wife, who ,by the way I did not meet on a dating site, your theory still has no merit, or at least has no affect in my life.
I have a lady friend in California that I stay with when I go down to work,but for the hell of it --I took the test on a couple of dating sites and I put this---" no money,no sense,no clothes,but several teeth and a pet raccoon". Funny--I'm getting women interested and wanting to contact me!!! What the hell? Ain't life funny?
