I was a member of match for a while and on my initial membership, I got dozens of responses. Not a whole lot of good ones but at least I got plenty to pick from and found some to meet. I left replies to everyone who contacted me. It slowed down after a while and I ran out of people to talk to just as one expects after being on the site with the same people for some time. Most of the guys I contacted responded back.
However upon joining Yahoo, I have had 300 guys look at my profile and maybe got 50 responses. Not very good numbers. Most of them just send an icebreaker which I don't like as they probably aren't members. The few guys I have talked to have too much baggage or reject me for no reason. I send out messages to guys only to not hear from them at all or to get a "sorry we aren't a fit" response. I read these profiles again and see nothing that indicates we aren't a fit as I seem to fit their criteria but they still decide we aren't a fit.

I find myself talking to many men whom I don't feel we fit, but I try to be open minded and get to know more about them before deciding. I do include in my profile that I will not get involved with anyone physically without marriage, so that might have something to do with it. However, I have set some standards for myself and am not looking to be used again and know from experience if you give the goods away free, the guy is not going to marry you. Should I take this part of out my ad and bring it up later or leave it in because after all I don't want to waste my time meeting anyone who doesn't have the same relationship goals as me. Is it that men don't want a woman if she won't give them freebies? Are there any honorable men left? I am 40 years old and would lilke to think that I could find a man who was done "playing".
