I have a personals ad that I put on 3 weeks ago. In the past weeks over 300 guys have viewed my profile but only a few have left messages, and many of them just sent those free icebreaker messages. I have met one guy and am meeting another this week. Not too excited about the one I am about to meet as we don't seem to have much in common although he seems like a nice guy and I am only meeting him because I promised I would. He is country and I am city. He didn't even have childhood immunizations! I know because he mentioned having mumps or something a few years back.
I read over the profiles of the guys that have viewed me to see why they didnt' respond. Alot of them want a woman with a college degree or someone who is much much younger than them. Most of them are average looking so I don't think it is my looks. Should I start leaving the ones I'm interested in a message or would that be too pushy since they didn't respond to me first??

Meeting people the normal way hasn't worked for me. I work with mostly women or really young guys (like 20) so no opportunity there. I don't have the time or money to get involved in any activities. I work alot of nights and most of the weekend so it's hard to get involved in alot of activities

I think no one here can give you a useful answer to your question, since we can't see the ad itself. Either there's something wrong with the ad or there are an awful lot of dummies out in your neck of the woods.

some sites have a coach to perfect your profile
would you rather have gone on 300 dates?? this is going to happen that initially they look at your pic, then there is some detail in it that doesn't mesh with them
accept the fact that you weren't what they are looking for
believe me!! you will have to return that " i'm sorry, i don't think we're a good match" many times
be patient maybe your wants are too specific, and they are afraid to approach you
i found that viewing the ones back, that were interesting, opened up some more communication, even online guys are afraid of rejection
good luck

Leave a message for these guys and no it isn't pushy to be the first to respond. Since you want to meet a nice guy, you have to take the initiative.

It seems you wold have a better chance to meet someone answering your question then using an internet dating site. They all suck and use fake people to ask questions so you will sign on for a few months just so they can take your money.

I too have attempted to utilize the dating sites and discovered that the vast majority of the "people" on these sites are little more then computer generated "phantoms" intended to entice suckers like myself and you to send them our money.
Unfortunately, I can't offer you any advice on how to meet someone but can tell you that most of these dating sites are scams and a waste of money.

Try meeting people in real life instead of on computer.
