Hi! Hope everyone is well.

I am wondering if any guys on this sub would be willing to assist me? I am 29 years old and online dating the past few months after getting out of an LTR. I get a fair amount of responses to my online profiles but the guys I seem to attract are either 1) creeps or 2) can't carry a conversation. I know there are plenty of decent men out there so I am hoping to meet one! I am looking for someone who is down to earth, smart, confident & fun to be around, for starters.

I would describe myself the same way - but don't think it is coming across in my profile. Would any guys around my age be wiling to take a look and give me some feedback!? I can return the favor. Thanks so much all!

    I'm 45 and I think I have a pretty decent profile, and I still get responses from tons of creeps. In 4 days last week, 642 people wanted to meet me on one site alone and I got hundreds of messages. 99.9% of them were from illiterate men who can't write a complete sentence, or total creeps who send messages with opening lines like, "When was the last time you wore hosiery, and what kind was it?" or "Mmmmm...can I snack?" or the guy who sent me a pic of himself and asked, "Does this taste as good as it looks?"

    This is the nature of the dating world, at least for women.

    I would only respond to people that had some college, that way they are supposed to be literate. I would talk for 1 hour while I was working out. Any weridos got the silent treatment. Possibles got conversation after my workout. Good possibles got 1 coffee date. I used humor and a double entendre in my profile. I said I was looking for a man to do things with I couldn't do with my girlfriends. That got some comments, like what do you mean?. I would respond with that is a double entendre. If they were literate, they would understand.
