Happy Saturday! Been lurking on this site for a while now, and I love what you guys have to say about OLD. I have an ad on Yahoo:

http://personals.yahoo.com/us/personals-1107912247-937301

and I am not really getting the responses that I thought I would. For once I put up an ad that I think truly relfects what I am and what I am looking for...I guess I thought there would be more 1/2 way normal dudes out there than there are.

Any feedback on what I could do to improve my ad?

Your profile is great! I'm not a man, of course, so I can't say how it appeals to me, but it shows intelligence and diverse interests.

You have three pictures that need to be cropped...half a person in the frame isn't flattering to you. Your first picture was the best quality wise, but for someone who likes to laugh, you look wistful or thoughtful, not like the life of the party. Grab a digital camera and a friend, and get some more photos!

I've been on Yahoo for almost two months and ya know what? I've not gotten one email from a guy I was remotely interested in. I've had much better luck with sending a short and sweet email to guys who catch my eye. The best guys seem to be standing against the wall, too shy to approach.

HTH,
Susie

I agree with sooobig, your ad is great! You look very pretty in your pictures and you sound intelligent and fun.

I have one suggestion. Since you seem to be open to dating both black and white men, maybe add some more types too (biracial, pacific islander, hispanic, etc.) I suspect your part of the country has a lot more diversity than where I live! So you might be missing some good guys because of that.

Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing, so just hang in there!
