Hi everyone. I am a mid 40's white male been here on and off for several years but have never really gotten the hang of this site I guess. Well, not in terms of actually meeting new people and friends. I seldom respond directly on the thread but have on occasion, mostly I just PM the person back. My PM's are clean and basically just tell a litttle about myself and what I am looking for. But hardly ever get a response back. So if anyone is out there that would like to chat and maybe have a new friend I would appreciate hearing from you.

I take it it's women you want to chat to. Virtually impossible to get replies from the ladies as they have so many suitors they don't have to bother. Easy to get men friends tho
 
Not sure you are necessarily "doing it wrong." Like you, I respond in a thread here or there, but if I see an interesting women (that does not outright say no PMs in her profile) I send a courteous PM seeing if she would like to chat. I usually make it clear I'm willing to chat about a wide range of topics not just sexual.

I get very few replies. I think it's a result of several things. Like alluded to above, partly it's a numbers game. Way more men than women. I am sure most women are bombarded with PMs. So I can understand them not replying. I also think there are a lot of fakes on the site. Perverted pimply teenagers in the basement getting amusement in jerking chains.

I've been on here 8 years and met one women I keep in touch with (a nice online relationship). But that's pretty bad odds, really. This site is okay but don't count on meeting anyone.

But keep positive and good luck.
 
i suggest go to the playground and get yourself out there.

you'll see a lot of people posting very similar things in the personals page so it's hard to stand out. but in the playground you can really show your personality by what thread you reply to and what you reply.

so when we check your posts and profile we get a better idea of who you are and what you're into without a giant wall of text.

the more you are out there, the more chances someone will see you. and chances are they will pm you about something you both have in common.

Good Luck with everything and i hope you find what you are looking for ;)
