| Meeting people in the forums is a nice way to throw your hat in the ring....
and see what happens. I think that is the most beneficial aspect of DH...
the forums, and group conversations.
Nice to have you on board....

| The best thing to do is to post in other threads. Don't be in a rush to meet someone ... it will come in time. First you got to get to know people and then by their comments posted you can learn if that person shares the same interests, views, etc. By you posting, the rest of us get to know you. If you rush into a relationship then you will end up settling and not many people are happy when they just settle for what they can get. Relationships take time.

| There are so many people on DH or any other dating site...
I think you have to *say something about yourself* that invites people to come into your world, within your profile.
Perhaps you can call it marketing, or presenting your image to the world.
I think you have a better chance of attraction, if you state more in your profile.
Just saying I like to have fun, I like to laugh...
is just not *selling your personality on paper*.
The reader cannot hear you laugh and the sound of your voice.
Explain what makes you laugh...I like to go to live comedy performances...
I like to go to the theater.I like to be with a fun gal, that enjoys roller skating, and when she falls down is able to laugh and get right back up....that kind of thinking.
I like to go to Nascar and watch the races in Las Vegas...as well as attend the
Cirque du Soile performances. I am not a gambler, but I like the night life in Las Vegas.
Or..what ever interest or hobby you like and participate in. State the type of music you like. I like a quiet c*cktail bar...with piano. What ever...C&W or R&R.
give me something I can talk to you about...or comment to you about.
Sell the *sizzle on the steak*. It is hard to write about oneself...but look at the hundreds of thousands that do...How do you set yourself apart?
Participate in the group and forum discussion...offer your opinion on an existing thread,
start to build a network of friends.

| I agree that posting on the forums are a great way of letting people know what you are about but Wine I have noticed that those few people that actually take the time to read a persons profile can be turned off when they have to read too much. Try not to sound too serious about yourself and show that you can be fun Bill, cause you know, "girls just want to have fun". The serious stuff can come later.

| I know I am brand new to DH, but it just seems to me that the chances of actually meeting someone in person from this site are pretty small. First of all, they have to be within reasonable driving distance of where you live. I can count on one hand how many people I've seen here who are from the Seattle area where I live so far....but like I said I'm brand new here. Then there has to be some chemistry and interest between you and them.
Forums are a great place to meet and make online friends though. If you're lucky, you might end up meeting them in person. And they're a great place to talk and discuss things with a group of people in relative anonymity.

| Your first mistake is assuming what women want in a man.
I am not trying to be funny, but there are plenty of single hard working guys without baggage.
Try to research what women really want and you'll find out a guy with no job, and paying child support has more success with online dating than the hard working guys without any baggage.
You are 100% right, but it takes a lot more than that to be successful with online dating.
Read previous post on the same subject...There are tons of them on DH.
Live and Learn...

| Being a simple hard working guy without baggage is good, but that doesn't guarantee that you will get dates. We don't know the whole story about your demeanor, your approach, and how you are with women you meet or potentially meet. You may be doing other things that may be turning them off or deal breakers.
Don't worry and don't get down. You may need to tweak your game a little bit with a few adjustments to turn the tables for you.

| Hell No...All guys got baggage and all women do. If it not children it something else or we would all be married.
I would think a single dad is more desirable than a guy without kids. At least a woman knows how you are going to be when and if you two decide to have a child.
As long as there is no baby momma drama...I am sure you are just a desirable as us single no child men.
Just my opinion...
