advice for online dating

Hi, I've got some good advice here in the past and I was wondering if anyone had some advice for online dating.


I posted my pic on a dating site and I get about 30 emails a day from men telling me I'm gorgeous, sexy and a knock-out...but then they meet me and I guess they're disappointed because I never hear from them again and never get a second date....I really don't know what these guys are looking for or expecting.

I try to post pics of me that are flattering, but also that really look like me.

Thanks Sherri...I think you're probably totally right about the pics...I don't think that I look that good in real life and they are very flattering.


I have a pic which is more realistic and I think I'm going to post that pic even if it's not as good...at least this way the guy will know what I look like day to day and maybe won't go into the date thinking I'm a real knockout when I actually just take a very good pic.

Boy am I slow. When you posted there was a board for OLD. I thought you were calling the poster old and I thought how rude. Then I realized you meant online dating. LOL


Anyways, now that I have made a fool of myself. I agree about the guys replying being more interested in sex than the person.
