Alone in a Dating Site

Alone in a Dating Site

Alone in a dating site is a very lonely place. When I did an initial search, it showed 160 men, local, within my age range. I thought...great! I joined, went through all the "Rapid Response" profiles, where it shows you pics and you hit Like. Then the member gets a message saying you liked them.

I sent dozens of messages to men who supposedly had been online within the last 2 weeks. Short, thoughtful, complimentary messages showing that I had actually read their profile.

I received ZERO responses. I know that some people will receive messages and not respond, but online dating manners, which I find most people adhere to, is to at least send a "thanks for reading my profile" response. I am not unnattractive. I'm an articulate, well educated, high wage earning, petite blonde, 52 year old woman. And I was writing to men mostly in their 50's and 60's.

I've been on dating sites before and the usual effect is that you get deluged the first week, then responses taper off.

But to get NOTHING? I think they just keep your profile up there showing you are an active member, even though you moved away and got married 5 years ago.

I tried their online help. And asked if non paying members were able to read and respond to messages from paying members. ? No response and then disconnected. I wrote to the admin. No response. I put in a help desk request. never answered. I wrote in the forum. No response. Not even any "views". The chat room...empty. The place is dead.

Pros
They have really hot photos of models on bikes.

Cons
The place is dead. The actual active member list, especially paid active members, has got to be tiny.
