Revisit your pictures and try to tone down your intensity a bit at the start. You are a terrific writer and throw a lot of yourself into even these short posts. I'm wondering if you come off as needing to get married NOW NOW NOW. There's the saying, "For a woman, it's the right guy; for a man, it's the right time." Some quite suitable women may read your profile and think "he's just looking to get married again, he's not interesting in getting to know *me*." It goes back to what another poster said about replacing your lost love.

I'd ask another man friend to take a look at your profile. He'll let you know if you're yearning too indiscreetly. I've passed over the guy who has pics of himself on his boat, at a Nats game, and in other very specific settings because it's like that's all he's open to. He wants someone to join him at these events only. He fails to convey an openness to creating an "us," and doing things I like to do as well.

Because you're not aiming your wants at me right now as you post, you come off as interesting, thoughtful, and considerate. You're asking more questions and probing, while also being funny. You sound great. If this is how you communicate with the women you connect with, and if this is also how you present yourself on whatever site you use, I think you'll have more to choose from and sound like someone any sane woman would want to get to know. But, if you're putting out a template of the woman and lifestyle you demand, I don't see this situation changing.

Remember, you didn't meet your wife on Day One and say, "please spend the next 30 years with me." You took an interest and gave it room to grow. Try to do more of that here.

Best of luck to you, OP!!
