well veryshy.... *brushes dust off the book of wisdom*

some dating sites have a word search function allowing users to search for profiles which include specific words, seeketh such a site my friend

once such a site has been found, create your profile, for it will be great

includeth in your profile the phrase "I like horses" or a variation of, such as "I love to ride horses"


Epilouge - I tried a dating site once, twas a silly idea as I never had the guts to meet anyone I met through it so I stopped the practise quick smart but was startled to receive about 20 - 30 private messages from girls who had read my profile in the first week i had it up there...

I finally figured out why, every single one of the girls had mentioned in their profile that they loved horses and I presume they had been using the word search function to find guys who shared that interest

The same happens to me. I've been to every spanish site I could find about finding someone special for me and I even paid for two of them to have the most chances to get success on it.... NOTHING!
In about 2 years since I first got internet at home (I live outside civilization jajaj) I only got 1 contact (from a very interesting girl, though) and it was the last month because I made an intensive mailing among all girls I found interesting.
I get there some older women interested on me, but I would not like a relationship with them unless it's just for some casual sex... but I'm not this kind of guy at all. I need some tenderness or I'm not even able to do sex. That's why I've never been to a whore. I have no interest on it at all because sex is just nothing to me if it's without something else Embarassed I guess I am some kind of genetically romantic monster or something Embarassed
I've been to myspace.com but it doesn't seem to work either ... everyone is from America Rolling Eyes Laughing and everyone seems so interesting and they all seem to be so cute that I just quit the site with worst self-steem than I had before Sad
Any advice on how to use myspace so i get better "results"?

I dont think your profile is a problem at all, I've come across many profiles that simply have no information at all.

But dont give up, try free dating sites, initiate contact with as many people as you can, you are more likely to receive responses from a wider variety of women, and you can take it from there.

Alot of sites simply have little activity on them, alot of the conventional sites are up to their heads in profiles, and alot of profiles just get buried within this mass!

there's a few unconventional sites you can try, myspace, faceparty, these are more social network type of sites, but do work well for some. I personally run my own and offer users many unique and different ways of getting in contact with each other and getting their profiles, I myself am registered as a singleton and had messages from many women wishin to start a conversation at least!
Doesnt cost to send messages, and it gives you guesttbooks, shows you who has visited your profile, or guestbook, allows people to declare crushes, shows most popular users etc, even birthday boys and girls, i think its what alot of dating sites miss is exposing their members profiles!

I'll not go on about it anyway but I do sincerely wish you luck Smile
