I usually just look at their pictures and review the questions about sex to get an idea of what their like in the sack.
As for my own profile I usually just tell everyone I'm a doctor and take a bunch of self taken mirror shots of my abs.
Sounds like we have a lot in common.
hah.. no.
But I have the mirror "ab" (use that term loosely) shots already. Dang.0 -

I think you have to approach online dating very differently from "real world" dating. Approach it more impersonally. It is harder to guage someone's real personality from their profile (some awesome people are terrible at writing profiles, some terrible people have awesome ones), and it's even harder to guage chemistry. There are also a lot of crazies and a lot of BORING people. Be more willing to just go on one date with someone. And be ready to accept that one date might suck. Be willing to say no to people, try not to get your feelings hurt when someone says no to you. (It's not you they're rejecting, it's their interpretation of your small synopsis that you've got on your profile).0

I'm on the brink of rejoining the dating world.
I've been out of the loop for a while and am debating the internet dating thing.
Thus far, my "strategy is to throw out obscure It's Always Sunny in Philly references and respond to the contacts that catch it.
Yes, I realize that's not a great way to go about it. Considering I have never done the internet thing and have always gone off of sheer connection, I'm not sure how to approach the potential of dating someone I have never met.

lol I put in Doctor Who and Legend of Zelda references in mine: i.e. Ideally, my match would be a 900 year-old timelord with two hearts and a box. Enjoys scuba diving with the Zora and vacationing in Hyrule.0

Ugh....I tried it. Loathed it. I wish you all the best though. I'm just going to let things happen as they do. Hopefully, luck & fate will come my way.0

Maybe I should try this. I quit my online dating experiment. I kept getting really strange emails that were:
a) Unreadable
b) looking to hook up
c) Making confessions about their sexual identity
d) Shooting way out of their league
e) people who look and/or act completely different in person
f) only seem to want to talk online

I'm a "make your own luck" kind of girl. But I'm also quirkily superstitious (not in earnest, but they still cross my mind)..
Then again, I'm a weirdo in general.0 -

People online and in reality are screwed up... but my hope was that casting a wider net would get better results?

Well..I've tried the online thing myself and as bad as it is on my side...I can't imagine how it would be for women. Much less a very attractive one.
Just be careful, lots of success stories from it...just a lot more nut jobs lol0 -
I used OkCupid and ended up meeting 4 guys in-person. 2 out of the 4 I still keep in touch with, 1 was not what I was looking for (not college educated and lied on his profile about it, then I got the vibes that he was only looking for a ONS, which was also not what I wanted -- you can usually tell pretty fast with those sorts of people), and the last guy I met there I've been dating for the past 5 months and I'm meeting his family this weekend So success stories are real!
Obviously it's always hit and miss, but the way that I did it was through being bluntly honest about what I wanted on my profile. The nice thing about dating online is that you don't have to pretend to be someone else to get dates-- there are so many people out there that if they have (literally) the balls the message you because they sincerely believe that y'all may be compatible, most likely it's worth a shot. Plus, you can reject them without ever having to do it to their face :P
But yeah, to give you an idea, at some point on my profile I wrote something along the lines of basically telling non-college educated guys and people with terrible grammatical skills that they would be better off checking out a different profile. I also threw something in there about if all the message they send me is "Your (mistake included) so beautiful/hot/sexy/etc." that I would never respond.
Good luck, OP!0 -

When I was single, I was lonely too - the whole single mom thing and all that. I never expected to find THE guy on the internet, but I sure did have some fun meeting new people this way. Some of the guys were just weird, and some "dates" I cut seriously short, but I did have fun most of the time.
I think your "success" has more to do with your mindset and what you want out of it. If you're just looking to get out of the house and meet other adults, then online dating sites are great. They're also great if you're just looking to hook up (but be COMPLETELY sure your hook up isn't married - UGH). I think it's when people put too much hope into it that it gets weird.
Dating at any age is difficult, but being a single parent makes it even more difficult. I mean, realistically, how many guys can you really meet in the grocery store? ;-)0 -
