In response to: Maybe it is a stupid question....But being out of the dating scene for over 20 years it seems hard to even get a woman to want to talk to you.I ask all the ladies who read this, if you can please tell me what you like to see in a guy to make you want to talk to him. What is that one thing that gives you that feeling of "wanting to know more of him",and what it takes to get you too respond ? Thanks

Use a little humor, don't be pushy, don't ask her to marry you or to go to bed with you, and keep it short. That's what women say works, give it a try, maybe it will work for you, doesn't for me.

demonfairy: A positive up beat attitude,We want to hear about the things you love,that excites you,your golds and dreams. We do not want to hear about your ex and how she done you wrong,and how you don't want us to do to you what she did.
Basically we want to hear the same things you want to hear!We want you to be truthful and be yourself. Good luck
just wanna add try to send common email/conversation then let it be flow then you'll find the good way to talk with us (woman)

Not looked at your profile so this is off top of my head Attractive traits on first impression: SMILE Can see their eyes on picture (or face to face) Has a "gentle way about him" Pics are natural (not posed like a body builder) Turn off: moody look
Profile write up: If you can't be bothered to give at least an impression of who you are, I can't be bothered to connect even if you are the most gorgeous guy on CS (the room, whatever)
Big turn off for me in the write up: Arrogance Badly written with lots of spelling mistakes Complaining or mentioning past relationships (not the appropriate time) Talk about God fearing Talk about "would like someone who can share my interests but nothing about being prepared to share the other person's. Guys who sound like they want "to save you" or "to be saved" Guys who sounds like they think the sun shines out of their arses
startingnew1972: Ok,so how can I make woman see me for a true person? Or really just to reply to me in order for them to see that in deed I am real,and in fact a really nice guy.I know that it is hard when so many are just idiots on here,but what about the ones of us who are just really trying to meet the right person?
maybe the problem is not the women you send messages..maybe it's you? who have th eproblem...maybe you have expectation, or picky???
I've seen your profile. I would put your best pic up and eliminate the rest. Then sum up what you are looking for, then get goofy. Add some firting in there. What will it hurt? Add something unique and eye catching to draw us in.
You will do fine, just the profile needs so fine tuning.
Last, keep posting on the forums where you will start to be a regular. You will met alot of men and women that way. You can try flirting there and if you think it might be worth it, send mail, but don't send a flower.

It's hard being single after awhile and this will give you experience off this site also. From the sounds of it, you are better off single instead of being treated like you were.

well we are discovering increasing number of ladies with profiles that says they're single but then they say they have a guy.. players are on both sides of the border..

I'm a modest, wealthy and handsome gentleman with a nice winter condo and a yacht in Boca. ;)
I don't reply to e-mails that have more than 20% spelling/grammatical errors. Correct punctuation shows me that a guy takes me seriously and that he respects my time. I understand that no one writes e-mails like an essay, though, so I generally overlook a few errors here and there. If a guy contacts me and says he wants to be friends, I'll first go check his profile. If his "About Me" section says he is unemployed, illiterate, or that his only hobby is surfing the Internet, I probably won't accept his friend request. He doesn't have to run marathons, plant gardens, and play the piano to get my attention, however! As long as I know that he has a wide spectrum of interests and that he can maintain a normal conversation, I'm willing to give him a chance; that is if I meet his requirements first!
