Apparantly pictures help. The automatic search function on the front page defaults to the first profile with a picture, so the folks with pics get casual browsers, while non-pic profiles only get viewed by those who are looking. Your nickname might not be very attention-getting, but as with the pictures, this is not nessisarily a bad thing. A lot of the attention that others seem to recieve appears to be of an essentially negative sort, as frequent and numerous topic threads on these boards will attest.
Be patient, hon. I was here a whole month before anyone Emailed me without my first Emailing them, and most of my Emails have recieved no response at all. You might want to take a little time to say what it is that you're looking for - I realise that at your level of experience that's a tall order since you literally don't know where to begin, but you are looking for something, and if you take a little time to listen to yourself, you will realise you have a much clearer idea of what you want than you give yourself credit for. This will help you to attract the sorts of people you want to attract, and will also get you "fan mail" from people who think that what you're looking for is all wrong (and fan mail can be a lot of fun!)
Please keep in mind - it does not matter what you are looking for, someone will take it upon themselves to correct you. They will probably even believe that they are doing you a favor by telling you what is wrong with what you want. It's a real icebreaker - the more self aware you are, the more people will come out of the woodwork to inform you that you are misguided or just going through a phase or plain delusional and that's not how it works at all. I love these people, I wish more would come to visit me (but I'm a guy, and sadly, guys just don't get as much attention).
If it would make you feel better, I'll Email you. I love Email, especially from folks I know here on the message boards.
