You guys actually get matches?

Goddamn. Here I am in straight world with exactly one match in an entire year that wasn't a bot.

Eh

Fuck it the apps are scams anyway

Sounds like you need to work on your profile and set of pics. Many years ago I logged into PoF as a woman and was stunned at how bad the other guy's profiles were.

  • Write something humorous, make your post amusing, doesn't have to be LOL funny

  • Don't list anything you find unacceptable, too negative

  • Don't list anything you have to have in a partner, too demanding

  • Post a wide variety of pics, get a couple of your very best, but get some day-to-day pics in there, looks more honest that way

  • Also post pics where you're in action, engaged in an activity you like, write about activities you enjoy, show yourself doing those things

  • NO: Guns, dead animals, motorcycles, trucks or other vehicles you wish to show off

  • No pics that include other women, no matter who they are. I'd try to leave male friends out as well.

  • Don't talk about being lonely, wanting to share your life with someone, nothing emotional, sounds needy, that comes later

  • No need to come with your life story, they're reading your profile to see if you're an interesting person today, not where you came from

  • Do what I did and sign in as the opposite sex (sorry, been assuming you're a man looking for a woman), read their dumb profiles, don't do those things

  • Once you get it down, splatter that profile across several websites. You catch more fish with multiple hooks in the water.

  • One final note, when you get matches, chat very briefly, ask for the date. Women out there are seriously frustrated with guys that seem to only want to talk, talk, talk. Get that date set before someone bolder asks her out!

Sorry for making so many assumptions. If this doesn't help you, maybe someone else can get use out of it. For context, I was 50-53 and pulling so many dates the neighbors were making fun of me over all the women in and out of here. Also, I'm short and scrawny, non-rich and my vehicles are 20+ years old. :)

Huh. Well. I guess I'm doing everything right then.

Maybe the photos need a lot of work. That will be challenging.

Get lots of pics! Can't ever tell which ones will work out!

If none are working out? Take a long hard look in the mirror. What can you fix or improve? I've rarely met another human that couldn't do something to be more attractive. Do that thing for yourself, not some anonymous stranger.
