I can't believe you didn't get a better response. But if you ever get a response from a man who knows where Chefchaouen is, marry him. Morocco is the most beautiful place on earth. :) What a great ad! I can’t believe you didn’t get a better response.

I mean there is a lot of weeding. I have had a few good experiences with Craigslist, but you have to weed through the losers that are just looking to hook up. I mean there is a lot of weeding.

You're right, too many wankers. And I've met some great people through IM including someone with whom I fell in love. Too bad it didn't work out. Anyhoo, As I said before, most men notice the photo first, that's what grabs them. Some will take the time to actually read your profile. Maybe you should try the BBW dating sites rather than a general site. And be proactive. Send smiles, see who smiles at you, you can decide then if you want to invest in a paid membership.

I had a few dates and one big fat sanity watcher event. (Met a guy for coffee at starbucks and he had to go to his car to get his starbucks card - and never came back!) Never clicked with anyone through the ads. Then I joined a chat website and started video chatting with people all over the world. True true you had to be patient with the fettishists (but they are ohh so fun to tease) but I met some really interesting guys and had a lot of fun dates. I dated several guys for a while and had a lot of fun even though no major sparks for about a year and a half. It was pretty amazing to have a real social life for a change. Yes some of it was on line but some of it was real live dates with nice guys. And the experience definitely helped me narrow down what I like and dont etc (ref: aunt fattie on shapely prose) Met my soul mate through that site. We chatted via messenger, then cam, then phone - hours and hours and hours. He came to visit and I knew then he was the one. And 2 months later he moved in. I cant believe I asked him, I cant believe he did it Phoenix to Chicago right before winter - neither of us are very spontaneous. Its almost a year since we met and I we both are so grateful we jumped in - turns out the water is fine after all. Im a big fan of internet dating - it just took me a while to find the right place to do it. btw the chat program is called paltalk and they have several bbw rooms with some really great people.

I got ONE response in, like, four months. (I didn't pay to join, so I couldn't initiative contact.) I'd really love to know what men look for in the ads. What makes 'em click? What makes 'em write a message? 'Cause it is definitely not the same things that pique my interest. This ad is from salon.com personals, but that turned out to be a total bust.
