  <description>Tips for single straight men on dating sites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read her profile, introduce yourself with a quick question about something in her profile or at least a comment about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply saying hi, wanna talk, your cute, etc. will get you ignored&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&apos;t proposition for sex, want sex? try adult friend finder or similar sites (there are many) that will be targeting only women who want sex, you&apos;ll have better luck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to use full works and not text massage speak, at least in your first few messages&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have at least one picture, try and have it of your whole face, forehead only is weird.  A whole body shot (with clothes!) is also helpful. yes it is shallow but most people won&apos;t date someone they aren&apos;t physically attracted to. Admit it you do the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=amazonv&amp;ditemid=9362&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>So I joined&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zoosk.com - already un-joined as it was low quality noise and hard to use without paying&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chemistry.com - easy to use, a few maybes, not overwhelming, very little nonsense so far&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Match.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adult Friend Finder - joined to have a profile there not really using it as I don&apos;t want a hookup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plenty Of Fish - NOISE so much! I can&apos;t keep up 25% &quot;hi&quot; or other ignorable intro (pro tip, ask a question, or comment on something you read in my profile!) that i don&apos;t respond to. 50% &quot;sexy/want to cam&quot; and other propositions I ignore, 25% legit conversation, a few good hits so far&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK Cupid - noisy, a few propositions, a few &quot;hi&quot; and a few new friends on fetlife no good hits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reddit R4R - one proposition the rest really great conversations! 1 date scheduled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I probably should clean up my profile a little better but this dating thing is too much work *sigh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=amazonv&amp;ditemid=8976&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
