I can"t give feedback as someone who is up to your standards, however, this is based off of my personal experience on dating websites.
I don"t know the statistics on those things, so I"m only guessing. I do feel like more men send messages than women do and a great deal of those men do not read the profile of the woman they send a message to.
Some of these women may only visit the website a couple times a month, which is what I do. Furthermore, I get roughly 150 messages every month. I"d say at least half of those men did not read my profile, much less look at any of the "match" percentages, and/or what I am looking for.
For example, my profile says I am not looking for a relationship/love. Tons of men message me about looking for their soul mate, wanting to get married, etc.. Other men blatantly disregard any age requirements I have, and it"s almost always the younger men who are guilty of this. I"ve had a few guys who were 90-98% enemy and 0-2% match for me, yet still send me messages. I am not busted up or anything, but I"m nowhere near being a 10. Sometimes it feels like men on those websites just message every single woman over a 6 and hope for the best, which if I"m right, that would explain why I have so many messages.
It"s annoying at times, because at least half of the men who message me shouldn"t. We have nothing in common, they"re too young or too old, they"re looking for a wife and I"m looking for someone to hang out with now and then (maybe they think it"s a challenge?). I guess what I"m saying is I know I"m not alone, and if you"re sending messages only to women who are 9"s and 10"s, they probably have twice as many messages as I do.
One of the guys who shouldn"t have messaged me but did anyway, went on and on about what we have in common. I took the time to compare the two of us and I couldn"t find anything we truly had in common (shit like preferring Coke over Pepsi doesn"t count). It was the first time I didn"t just ignore the message and instead, I replied listing off many of the things we did
nothave in common. A great majority of those being things we had both marked as Mandatory/Deal Breakers that our opinions clashed on.
His reply was pretty pathetic, because he rolled over on all of his beliefs and on the ones he couldn"t get out of, he claimed his drunk friend filled out his profile (or something equally retarded). He pointed out that what we had in common was enjoying things like floating on rafts in a pool. Yep.
As long as their message doesn"t read like a text from a 13 year old girl (or Tyen"s girlfriend), I"ll actually read them when I have the time (which means when I"m bored and ran out of ways to entertain myself online).
I personally don"t care if they have hair or not, as long as it"s not too long, fro-ish/frizzy, etc.. If they"re bald, it would be nice if their head didn"t look deformed, abnormally lumpy, or cone-shaped.
I don"t particularly think it"s a good idea to post your income in the event you"re looking for something more than a bed warmer. That"s just my opinion though. I don"t date women, and I"m not really good at this whole dating thing, so I really have no idea what the fuck I"m even talking about.
I should share some of the messages I"ve gotten on dating websites. Some are downright offensive, others pathetic/desperate/creepy, and I"ve had a few gems that were pleasantly surprising. I really like messages that are well written, not generic or loaded with old/played out witty lines, and messages that are funny and lengthy (nothing excessive). I also like when they have pictures in different environments/settings, and not just in their car or bathroom (do any of you ever clean your mirrors???).
Maybe your messages are generic, or perhaps you come off as arrogant instead of confident, or passive instead of polite, etc.. Also, she could just have a lot of messages and it could take her a while to reply. I don"t typically reply for 2+ weeks. Not because I"m rude or playing a mind-game, but because there"s a lot of stupid messages to weed through and I don"t visit those websites more than a few times per month. Sorry if it"s been shared before, but if not, could you PM it (your profile) to me (even the content

About Me and/or Pictures

if you don"t want to share a link)?
PS: Excuse any typos and shit. It"s going on 6am and I haven"t slept (have issues with insomnia sometimes).
