You mention fun in your profile three times .....perhaps add some other qualities you have and a bit more about what you are looking for and why people should choose to chat with you, rather than other people who have messaged them.

My other suggestion is to let people get to know you a little before asking for a face photo. They may work in a particular field and be a little reluctant to exchange face pics initially. However, I guess it rules out men pretending to be ladies. It's up to you. It's your profile, so develop it how you want.

It's not a bad profile, just try to make it a bit more interesting.

Be patient. Send out personalised messages, so that people know you are interested in them, not writing to the 50 nearest females .

You need to expand your bio and add a few more pics imo. Don't worry about your scar, it's part of your journey.

Thank you i would put more about me but im boring & got told long winded profiles are a no no ( by someone on.a previous thread) & i ask for a face pic as ive been coonned once all ready on here so i dont want to be conned again once bitten twice shy & i tailor my messages to suit but i end up getting no relplies then after 24hrs blocking them as i dont see the point in trying to talk to someone who clearly is not interested & will never be interested

24 hours deserves a block? Just delete your sent message. Perhaps the person on the receiving end was, you know, busy with life!!

You seem like a nice guy

And then.... we saw.....

You’ve been on an epic rant in the “it’s harder for women” thread last week. Argumentative, moaning, negative, apparently messaging people who disagree with you.

Ok, you, like a lot of guys on here, are frustrated, but man, we’re all given a bag of hammers in life.

Project a positive attitude even if you don’t feel it. Laugh even if you don’t feel like laughing. It’s about attitude.

No point in a sympathy shag, you'd feel shit.

Arrogance is assuming you know what is right/the case.

E.G. Assuming someone dosent like you because they haven't replied. You don't know the reason, so it's arrogance. I suffer from arrogance a lot, my advice is have a cup of tea and think of something above the wasteline for 10 minutes.

Positivity is more about not being negative, don't worry about 49 rejections, be positive about the 1 reply. Enjoy the rain as well, it washes my car.

Hey. Firstly you need to make your own thread as this is someone else's

And yeah you have been on 2 weeks which is no time at all on here. You could be on months without even a reply.

Take a look at your profile and ask yourself if there is anything on there to entice women in.

Your a tiny fish in a huge sea of male profiles that have loads of photos and a bio that get women's minds tingling.

Your status will put people off and you have no text to read.

Your original post told us more about you than your profile text. I suggest you use your profile to tell more about you as a person. Leave out the bit about being socially awkward, but you have more to say about yourself.

If you lack confidence then you can always think of it as putting on a front. Become a character who is confident. Go to a club. In my experience, if you go to a club, chat to people, don't try to come onto them, be friendly, polite and respectful, and you'll be amazed what you can achieve. You can be confident without being arsey.
