online dating

It used to, but not since like last year.

 

same here, either that or I attract creepy men.

 

I don't know how long you've had your profile up or what types of pictures you posted but my guess is that there are a lot of straight men trolling the " female looking for female" section looking for free "money shots". Also I'm sure you have 'visited' other peoples profiles without messaging them. Remember just like you aren't attracted to everyone with tits, not everyone with tits will be attracted to you.

Maybe, they are interested in your cover pic (if site has one) but your section where you tell about yourself could use some polishing (I don't know your writing skills it may be great).

The biggest thing to remember is that picking through online dating profiles is a cold experience and it may take a while before someone finds you interesting enough to want to do more than fuck. Keep your head up and hope you find what you are looking for.

 

Try a different picture, maybe? I read once that a full-body or a medium shot helps to receive more messages than a close up shot. You can google for some more tips, there are many articles about how to take a perfect dating profile pic.

 

yeah, I get that a lot too. I'm more about quality than quantity though.
I usually put up the most average looking photo that I can find, that way it's mostly nice / non-shallow guys that message me.
It's also nice when you meet up with a guy and he says "You're much hotter than your photo" hehe. (or girl in your case)

Don't take inactivity personally though, there could be a lot of different reasons.

Keep in mind as well that some apps/websites aren't very reliable with delivering their messages.

Oh! no matter what kind of photo you put up, make sure you're in a good mood when you take it / get it taken. Somehow it really shows.

Peace be with you and good luck.

 

Dating websites arent for me. Talking to people with the pretense of getting with them feels artificial to me. It has to happen naturally

 

Those places are scary to say the least. I mean, the torrent and rejection, it's too scary, but that's just how I see it I guess.

All the best to you!

 

You should not just put your picture out there and wait.
Browse profiles, send messages

Often, people don't dare because they are shy or they think you're out of their league.

If someone visits your profile, go see theirs.
If they seem interesting, send them a message

I met my love on a dating site <3
And I messaged them first :3

 

How long have you had the pics up for? What site are you on? I'm on a dating site myself.. I've been getting a fair bit of interest though.. It's been 5 days since I signed up.. 4 since I put pictures up.

Maybe the girls are too shy to show they are interested in you?

 

Plenty of visitors...got a couple of messages from people offering generic nothings or such badly broken English I couldn't respond...

 

Check different sites. The one I use let's you say say if you are straight, gay or bi (and that's the best I could find) and only shows you to people who fit the gender you are interested in...so it's worth looking at other places if only men are getting you...

 

I agree. I may get an online dating account once I turn 18, but only to see how the hell it works. I don't want to really use it, unless I'm feeling more forever alone than usual...

Some men think they can "cure" you of your homosexuality. They cannot be reasoned with, so try to ignore them as much as you can.
