Thread: Where do most people meet "the one" they end up with?

I don't know much about dating sites, but maybe how you present your information makes a big difference on the sort of people who contact you. I wonder if intentionally downplaying your appearance for example would reduce the number of shallow people who respond (let them be happily surprised when they see you).

I think you are right, rcoreyus. In some sites, you can filter the ones that can contact you. You can set your "search" settings, and just choose professionals for that matter. Based on experience, I just posted just because...I was just responding to my friend's dare. I didn't want to date and see someone from the site, so I didn't post any picture. I just took a personality type survey, had my profile (personal info) set there, and that was it. But I did emphasize that I am a Grad student.

Luck struck once though. The very first email I got came from an Engineer and he asked a simple question and it came to me as very intellectual. So I emailed back, and didn't bother with the rest, nor the site again. And I am glad he's not shallow.

He said, he was really looking for "new comers" in the site, and wants to be the first to "fish". He achieved his goal.

Try some decent sites, but be careful about how you describe yourself. The Martians might interpret your Venusian language differently.

And also, consider proximity. It is hard to nourish a beginning friendship long distance, though it is not impossible. Good luck.

I think the right guy finds you not the other way around. I went several years between serious relationships and all the casual stuff where I was the pursuer never came to anything but when I decided to just chill, I met the greatest guy, turned him down 2 times and then finally went out with him for fun and it has been amazing.
Be yourself and just have fun. the right guy will find you

The best advice I can give from guy suggestions given to me is this

Do the things you love and want to try - make yourself happy first. Because when your happy and when others can tell your happy it is a big turn on to guys - it attracts them.
