I have spent some time posting personals on the web with little result. What is it with women...? I send emails to women and get these off-the-wall responses.

Just to give my opinion, i am a confident business owner submissive, if i were not owned, your profile would intrigue me enough to learn more.

The expert in everthing would not put me off, but you would definitely have to prove to me your honesty.

Again, be true to your profile and set your standards high.

My standards for a Master were just as high and took me four years for Him to find me, but i have not one single regret of the wait. It's just a very frustrating time.

Personally, call me geographically prejudice, but i did limit my correspondence to a two state area. So that may be some of the off-the-wall responses, you never know, but i always let that fact be known upfront.

I wish you much success however you define it.

Just from the little bit of reading i've done, Foxer's profile would not attract someone that is not confident or perhaps has self-esteem issues.

But then again, I dont think he would be attracted to someone as such.

So, it all works out.

Its merely up to them to give a yes or no but why give BS junk mail. If there's no interest, leave it alone.

Yeah... how's that working for you? Not so good apparently or you'd get more responses. You asked for advice, you got it. You've gotten advice from women on how to attract women and rather than being enough of a gentleman to listen and say thank you, instead you're arguing with them. Do you just enjoy shooting yourself in the foot?
If you want to attract women, put something out there for them to be interested in. And here's another news flash... this isn't a party. Online nobody can see you, hear you or watch you from across the room, you don't have any friends pointing you out or putting in a good word for you. The only thing anyone has is what you share about yourself. That profile is your opportunity to make a first impression. You've had a whole lot of advice about how to make it a good first impression. Emailing some lady and saying, "Hello, saw your ad and think you're cute as a button. I see you live nearby and maybe we could get together to see if there's any interest," is not going to work. Most women on any site like this are getting 100 or more such emails a DAY. The only way you are going to get anyones attention is to make yourself stand out. You've got to present yourself as being more interesting, more of an outstanding human being than the other 100 or more guys trying to get her attention.

You don't need detailed resumes, you don't need the "failed kindergarden" confessions, you don't need "my life story." It could be some women are living vicariously through random love missives on the web. Dunno... All you need is, Hello, I find you interesting...

The only thing that counts is the reality of one-on-one. What is it you girls say, chemistry...? How can you get chemistry from a computer screen? Some guy can influence you all he wants with epistles of his virtues but that's meaningless until you know him or, at least, meet him.

If you're such an expert on what one does and doesn't need to put in a profile, why ask for advice? Why complain that what you are doing isn't working for you? Look, you can't have it both ways. Either you ask for advice and listen to it from people honestly trying to give you a hand up... or be a stick in the mud, keep doing what you've been doing and stop grumbling about it not working.

No you don't need to share your life story... but some interesting highlights would be helpful. Nobody is saying write a brag sheet of you're finer qualities, and frankly be glad so many don't give a damn about how much money you have. Just open up a bit. Or you can go take a romantic walk down the beach with DelRey, cause my guess is he's not going to have any other offers. Its your choice, but its like going fishing... if the lures you are using aren't working, switch lures.

Bingo!

And why are there so many of them in this day and age of the New Woman?

[2. Don't get along with women my age, never have, and the very large majority of them have not taken as good care of themselves as I have which is usually apparent so I screen them out. Why they haven't taken care of themselves is an academic discussion that is meaningless. Best relationship I ever had was with someone 15 years younger than me. The next best was with someone 21 years older than me. The ones my age were always a disaster, I don't do topping from the bottom well.

I'm at a loss as to why he ask for advice about anything, from anyone ... He has "expert" next to 99.9% of his interest, so my quess is, he is lonely, bored and has no one else to share all his "expert" wisdom with so he invents a phantom question and keeps it going with his arguments. Of course I'm not an "expert" so Who knows. Speaking for myself, I don't plan to spend another second reading on his topic.
