I finally figured out....
| Tue, 05-23-2006 - 12:34am |
why men just send out generic emails to women. After almost being on match for nearly 2 1/2 months, I have spent a lot of time and have sent out 46 emails and not received back one reply. I followed the advice on this board by reading and personalizing the email to each woman (not to knock the advice because it's sound and makes sense). Maybe it's Jersey girls, yeah they may be fun, but they are so friggin shallow. Sometimes, I don't even know why I try.
May be some of you can help me with my profile, I'm edgehead682. I appreciate your advice.
Thanx
Tom

Tom - I like your profile.
If I were a Jersey girl in your age bracket, I'd respond.
It's a numbers game. We say that here a million times a month. You'll need to send out hundreds of winks/emails just to get a coffee meet.
It sucks, but that's the game of OLD.
Hi Tom,
This is just a suggestion since you asked, you don't have to take it at all.
I'd take out your income - it says you make less than 25K a year. A lot of women might/will pass you up based on that as a possibility of lack of emails.
Thanks for your complements, it renews my faith in women! At least I know I'm not crazy, especially after reading a bunch of guys profiles. A lot of them seem bland and generic. Must be mass winking going on since some of them look like they couldn't read and write at a 7th grade level. And you gals are right, there must be twice as many men as women on OLD. I guess the man upstairs must have some sort of plan, I just wish I could get a hint or something. SP I did change the income thingy, though student kind of gives it away. We'll see what happens

Tom, I think your profile is good. You sound interesting and intelligent. However, some of the wording in your profile was a little hard for me to follow. For ex., after you wrote about helping your dad, there was no period before going into the next sentence. Sometimes there were too many words like the. I know that when I read a guy's profile, I skim it quickly at first. If I don't get it right away, I usually don't give it a second read. I expect intelligent guys to be understandable and to strike an emotional cord of some sort.
That said, I agree with the others that it's a numbers game. The guy that I recently met and liked said that he gets one response to every hundred winks, etc., he sends out. His profile was a bit off-the-wall and some people probably wouldn't take him seriously. Bottom line, though, put a little of your own personal flair into a profile. The right girl(s) will see it and like it. My own profile basically lists what others might like. It's not very colorful, but it allows others to project what they want. It's hard because you want to be yourself but not run them off. Good luck.
