Okay, this might not sound like very positive advice. But having unrealistic expectations about responses from women is a sure way to end up disappointed and disillusioned. You can expect one out of ten you write to to respond at all...and that's even WITH applying the right strategy.
One thing that you ought to know right off the bat is that there are online dating sites that create false female profiles in order to attract more male members. On top of this, there are men who send rude responses to women who reject them and therefore some women won't bother to respond at all if they are not interested.
This is not to mention that on dating sites (just like in real life), there is almost always a large percentage of women who are just "window shopping," but who aren't really serious about meeting someone.
2. Watch Your Grammar
Have you ever heard the saying that you can't judge a book by its cover? This is true, but you can judge whether or not you decide to read the book. If your profile is full of grammatical errors, incomplete sentences and ramblings about irrelevant topics, you're probably not going to get many responses...if any.
Even if you are a poor writer, you can usually come up with something fairly decent if you put some work into it (and don't forget about spell check). A good piece of advice would be to spend a few hours working on your profile, and even go back occasionally and make sure that it is well-written.
3. Talk about What You Want
If you've read even a handful of profiles, you've probably seen those people who write things like: "No liars, drug addicts, or mama's boys. No one who is after just a one night stand or who doesn't have any manners. No-"
Damn, how about me what DO you want? Everyone has had bad experiences in their life... men and women alike. What good does it do to continue to ramble on about yours to someone who has their own problems?
Besides, how many people would read a profile like that and go: "Wow, I'm a liar, a drug addict, a mama's boy and a loser who is just looking for one night stand. I'm glad she told me that... I'll just keep looking."
You get the idea. If you don't have a positive response to this kind of rambling... you can bet that the woman isn't going to either.
