Question about Online Dating
| Tue, 01-31-2006 - 4:39pm |
Just wondering...If I put a profile in Match.com late yesterday afternoon, and only 21 people have viewed me, am I expecting too much to wonder why no one has e-mailed me. Do you think it is because something is wrong with my profile or do people just not contact you right away? I am 46 as well, but noticed that there were 50 pages of men from 45 to 53 within 10 miles of where I live. Just wondering why there were 21 views but no e-mails??

First question - do you have a pic? No pic = fewer views.

And I'm betting that 35 pages of those men have women 18-30 as their parameter.

Probably people just checking out the newest profiles.
Did you post a picture? If not, that could have something to do with it.
If you did post a picture, then it could just be that the people who viewed you were "looky-loos" who look at every new profile or none of them thought you were a good match. Or maybe none of them are actually paying subscribers. Who knows! You could drive yourself crazy wondering about something like that ;-)!
If you like, you could post your user name on match and people could give you constructive feedback on your profile, or you could cut and paste the text here on the board.

Yeah, probably. ;)

Hmmm...nothing came up when I put that user name in. So that could be the problem, although how people could view you if your profile isn't up and available, I don't quite understand.
Is your friend at work younger? That could be another explanation. I think those of us in our 40s (I'm 47) get fewer looks/responses, for better or worse ;-).
