[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sent three messages and you're giving up? What are you saying in your messages? Sounds obvious, but are you asking questions that they can answer? If you are sending out a generic "hey, how are you?" of course they won't answer. Would you?

Let me put it in perspective: One month I decided to really commit and give it my all on a paid dating site. I sent out more than 60 messages.

How many pictures do you have on the site? Are they all of only your face? All group shots where they can't tell which one you are? Tons of makeup? Duck-face?

Speed dating was a shit-show for me. That's my own personal hell -- guy after guy asking you what you do for work and what you do for fun. 
There was a thread on speed dating and I bookmarked it.

Hi PP.  Ok, now I have written five emails AND I have liked about ten other guys (I know that some people advised me against this but I didn't want to email because no one has responded).  I only have one picture which is a picture of my face and I know I have to add more.  What I think is hysterical is that SO many of the guys post pictures of vacations they have taken and they (they guys posting) are not in them!  I have seen so many photos of beautiful beaches and historical sites!

I started doing OK cupid and answered over 200 questions  - my some of those questions are quite personal - about sex - and then panicked because I didn't want anyone viewing my answers!  I wasn't sure but thought that other people could see my answers.  I spent 2 hours on that site answering questions and then deleted my profile - waste of time!  Ugh. . . .so frustrating!  But again, thank you PP for your advice.  I will proceed. . .[/quote]

Again: 5 emails? That's nothing. I could send out five emails in one day, easily. 
Picture: you need more. One of just your face isn't enough for most guys. Even if you put your 'body type' on okc because I've seen girls (and guys) that were easily 200+ pounds and still considered themselves "average" as body type. 
You don't have to answer the sex questions. That's why there is the option to skip questions.

With online dating there is one big important rule: you get what you put in. I can't believe you already deleted your profile and gave up. [/quote]
