    What happens during that first week that makes the women not want to continue to date you? Are you a gentleman when you take them out? Do you open the door, pay for dinner, ask your date questions about herself? Are you a good listener? Do you make eye contact? Are you showered and clean cut? Women like to be pursued and feel desired. Chivalry goes a long way.

    Also, saying things like "guys shouldn't have to do all the work" is kind of classless. Like I said, women like to be pursued and want to feel desired. The chase is sexy. Some of the things you've said in your profile really come across as arrogant.

    The funny thing is, its all the opposite of what you are stressing about


    Its nothing to do with what you are now, its what you will be at 40.

    You are a good looking guy, and an airline pilot

    Any chick knows if she tries to hook up with you now, she will just get dumped in 10 years for a 20 yr old

    Your ranking at 40 will be too high, you may be a dork now, but that future ranking is too intimidating

    Pretty much all advice anyone will give you until then will be bullshit

    And whats even more amusing, every single female you currently know, knows this, but you wont find a single one that will ever say that to you

    How does this explain the other 20 or so years?

    Anyone/including the NTSB) with google can search your profile to see if it matches up with other dating profiles and dating sites.
    As well, any google hit will bring them to here. Your lack of confidence now fails you Jedi..
    Congratulations,, You have just made yourself a catfish target.

    But is it all you care about? My Da, the actual owner of the Mooney, loves flight. Taught jet pilots, flew for Northwest Orient (how long has that name been gone?), designed fighter planes for a living, and yes, had that hole in the sky where all his money goes.
    But he's not one-dimensional. Granted, my stepmother has really had to learn to put up with airplane talk, and being a GA airport widow, over the years, but Da can talk about other things. They do other things together.

    I'm very shy due to the way i was treated especially by girls I liked growing up. So i am very reserved around them. I only ask the girls who message me if they would like to meetup and grab a drink after some chatting online first. They always tell me i am handsome and stuff so I know they have to be at least somewhat attracted to me so I know its safe to take them out. I always dress to the nines when I go out in general, I have the finest silk ties and shined shoes. I'm a big old fashioned shave guy so I am clean cut everyday regardless especially on a date, I straight razor that shit up! lol I let them talk, make strong eye contact and ALWAYS pay for the first date. It always leads at least to a kiss and them saying they had a great time. I usually always get a second date. Funny thing is ive never had a bad date. Where it seems to fall apart is after or while we are texting. To not come off as needy I NEVER text or rarely text first. Like the most recent girl, she would send me snapchats and text and I would respond and say something back. However once she doesn't respond I know its over and I don't ever pursue back. I lost the girl I really liked, almost loved two years ago when I texted her just one too many times and she blew up at me for it and never asked to meet up again. So I am super careful now as to what I say and send. The interest seems to fade in those post date texts.

    I have done on the online dating thing. I have had plenty of dates, the men had been so-so. Although my date last night...oh nevermind.

    I like profiles that show a man's sense of humor. Grammar is a turn off. I am a terrible texter so I understand typos. There is this fella that is texting me and he doesn't use too correctly. DRIVES ME CRAZY.

    One guy sent a decent length message about what I had in my profile. I over looked him and thoguht, no way. But his message showed he took THOUGHT and abit of EFFORT. We wound up dating/seeing each other for about two months.

    I would look into better sites...the paying ones. But I did one paying site and the men there were not of high caliber. Sending me a video of you jerking off...no thanks. I am not going to stroke any man's ego about his cumming abilities, until after our date! LOL

    Don't force it. I have been dating for a year (after a 15 year marriage). I have two kids and I am over 40. Enjoy dating...find out what you want. Relax a little. Girls that age don't want to be smoothered.

    Maybe aim for cougars. I have not had a 25 year old. Some women like younger men. Change your age range!

    Good luck!

    Ditch the car photos and American Airlines one. I am not looking to buy a car. I can careless what you drive as long as it goes from point A to B.

    Hmmm, my buddies said I might get more hits that way. I used to get made fun of all the time in high school and was turned down because I couldn't afford nice things. Figured showing that I can afford all that might change a few minds. Truth here, would you find me more attractive driving a Ugo? Thing is im pulling out all the stops so I can ensure a few hits. I get them,....then what I described on the last page happens.....

    My opinion may be different than a 20 something. I am independent, strong, professional woman. I also don't find the type of car a man drives attractive. That could be the difference. I wouldn't date a hot mess..he needs a stable job. I already supported one man for 15 years, not doing it again.

    I guess I look at this way... Do you want them to like you for that red fancy car...or for you?

    I will say my date on Friday has a sporty red car(and I am sure I would look as sexy as hell in it!!)...I will not mind going for a ride in that!

    Maybe I need a picture of me standing in front of my Dodge Avenger dressed like Black Widow. (Kidding...maybe)

    Back when I was hour age, online wasn't as popular. I found places to volunteer at. I work in a profession that is mostly women. I joined local groups that are of interest to me. Meeting people more organically than through a dating site. You are young...enjoy your youth!

    I dunno, I don't really see a problem with the profile. You're attractive, successful, intelligent, you sound normal enough.

    It seems like it isn't attracting a woman initially that is the problem, but keeping her around. Either you're doing something wrong in that first week (are you clingy? Or do you come off as the opposite, TOO reserved to the point of making her feel you aren't interested at all?)

    Or maybe you're just pursuing women who are wrong for you? You come across as an intellectual, serious minded fella. If you're going after women who just wanna get drunk in the club and aren't interested in any intellectual pursuits then I could see how someone like that would lose interest in someone like you pretty quickly.

    i think those answers are from a drop down menu, not something that can really be customized.

    most women specifically say not to send such generic messages because they get a ton of them and there's nothing there to get their attention. but then, women do tend to lie about what they want from a guy, and i know i haven't had great responses sending clever, well thought out messages on dating sites either, so i could be wrong about this one.
     
  18. You have this way too planned out. You're trying to streamline this thing, just as you appreciate the streamlined wings of your aircraft.

    Now is the time to let go. This doesn't mean changing anything. Just fly into that pearly cloud blind and let your autopilot take you wherever it wants to go.

    If you had the skills to maintain a Yugo, that would get my attention. Those things were troublesome.

    Are you looking to date your buddies? Because that's the only reason you should listen to them about photos on a dating profile, unless they say a shot makes you look like a dork. Then listen to them.
    Men click on car photos.
