"Morning. Hope everyone is keeping well. I know it's frowned upon a bit about men asking for advice on their profiles, but I'm having a bit of a nightmare on here and it's frustrating as hell. I've written a profile, added some pics and have always been respectful in my messaging, but I seem to be getting nowhere when it comes to replies or any kind of interaction. Most of my messages get deleted, read and not replied to, or just not seen. I'd really appreciate it if peeps could have a quick glance and tell me if I'm doing something majorly wrong. I'm open to constructive criticism.
Thanks in advance. "
Hi mate!
Don't get frustrated in here, remember it's not real life lol!This place is a fun addition to your life, not the be-all-and-end-all
Your profile is good! There's no 'one size fits all' or format guaranteed to get you the results you were hoping for, as everyone is looking for different things! Just be you. You've had two meets already, more than many guys in here, so something is working for you
Use your block button is the best tip I can give you. When you filter out all the people locally, who are clearly never going to be a match, your local searches are then streamlined to genuine, potential matches. Think about a cat among pigeons; running around, chasing everything that moves, but catches nothing. Concentrate on 2 or 3....
Any of your messages which are straight deleted; delete them from your sent folder, and block that profile.
Messages read but no reply; pop the profile in your hotlist, and just keep an eye when they post updates. Possibly message again in a week or so....
Messages unread after 2 weeks; they aren't replying mate. Delete the message, and consider blocking the profile...
Be proactive in your searching, but don't sit back and get frustrated. This place is a numbers game, there's a ton of competition due to the volume of solo guy profiles in here, just make the most of every opportunity which comes your way.
All the best buddy! |
