Dateing sites
I'm a male 22 I've been using dating websites for almost a year now with no success I've emailed hundreds of people and never get a single reply. My profile's are normally simple, honest and to the point. I'm wondering what I can do to better improve my chances of at-least getting reply's. what would help me the most is an idea of what women look for in a guys profile or emails before they decide weather that person is worth giving a chance or not.

Dear, Seeking for love
Sometimes when we create a profile it's best to make it unique and different from other profiles on the site. While being honest and truthful sometimes we need to add something that will catch a girls eye without seemly desperate. The columnist below me has a point, People are usually on a dating site for a reason and that reason is usually the fact they have no luck in the real world. If you want to meet someone, Try and get yourself out there. Meet new people and try to talk to them. Do you have any guy friends that know people?..Sometimes that helps as well as trying to connect with people on Facebook. Usually dating sites aren't your best bet and the ones that require you to pay...Are rip offs.

As someone who used to be on a dating site...when I had an account, I would get literally 20-30 messages per day (and keep in mind I'm not super attractive or anything lol). Some days I just wouldn't feel like looking at any of em...on others I would look at the guys profile, and if he wasn't the right age, didn't live near me, or we didn't have much in common, I wouldn't bother. I got very, very picky. I hated messages like "Hey", "Hey how's it going" or "What's up".
The one message I did answer? From a guy in my town who sent me an actual, interesting message- first he introduced himself, then started conversation by asking questions about some things in my profile and, in some cases, relating them to him. (I.e. things we both liked.) His profile was interesting and funny...It wasn't the same old crap, and so I did end up actually going on a date with him.
The lesson I learned and why I left the site(s)...there is a reason that people are just dating online. I found that most of the guys were the kind that couldn't get a girl in real life- either they were super creepy or insanely clingy or some other problem. It might sound harsh, but it's true, and I'm sure the same thing goes for girls on there. You're not getting the best. I know it can be very hard to meet someone in "real life", and intimidating to approach a girl...but I promise you'll see much better results and it's so worth it. :)
Hope that helped.
