View Full Version : What's Up With Personals?

Has anybody had any luck with on line personals?
I've tried Match.com and Yahoo personals and have struck out in both. I must have sent out over 100 e-mails and got zero responses. Am I that much of a loser (donÂ’t answer that!)? :eek: :eek:
I canÂ’t believe that no one would at least respond in some way.
Why do these women place ads if they donÂ’t want to respond? I canÂ’t believe they would waist their $40 to $50 a month. And itÂ’s not like I am e-mailing just hotties. Most are average looking, not ugly, but not smoking either. Is it that they are all just looking for Brad PittÂ’s? Sometimes I think the services make up fake ads with photos just to get guys to sign up.
Maybe some of you ladies could help out here. Have you or any of your friends placed ads and what are they looking for? I actually thought about writing an article for Playboy or Maxum about the subject, “Online Personals: What Woman Are Really Looking For”. Instead of looking for dates, I will send e-mails inquiring as to what they want, then compile it all and let the guys know. :D
What do you all think?
(Maybe I should move next door to Mandelon!) :D :D :D

Hi Hotrod, I think that the personals are ok I have done that in the past It did not work for me either. I know several people that it did work for. It's all on you, you know "when your ready".
I thought i'd never find someone. Well guess where I met him..In a bar of all places. We met and married 8 mos. later and now getting ready to celebate 5 yrs married! It will happen when you least excpect it. It will happen.:) :D

Hang in there, HotRodBoy.
I met the love of my life online. We've been together for fifteen years and have three wonderful children together.
Hang in there, it can happen for you too. :)

I've seen some strange answers on those places. I ended up taking my post down. I had replies from big, beautiful, black women, former lesbians, women in their fifties (I'm only 33 for god's sake!), homosexuals, former lesbians, you name it - I've heard from it.
I find it best to just sit tight and quit looking. If you're looking for someone to just "service" you, go to a bar and "bottom-feed" from the skanks and ho's! :D

Okay, here is my photo and new text. The old text was the usual "I am a Successful hard working professional who enjoys boating, Harleys and hot rods. I like outdoor activities and good movies, blah, blah, blah. Maybe thatÂ’s the problem. I tried to make the new one different and light hearted. Here it is:
My dogs tell me I need a friend to help walk them. They say I don’t pay enough attention to them and I have to buy them more bones to make up for it. I think they have enough bones already but I told them I would look for a friend anyway. I really enjoy outdoor activities, especially being on the water (boating), motorcycling and hot rods, hiking, bicycling (mountain & road), and enjoying beautiful So Cal. As a transplant from New England, I especially like the warm weather and being a tourist even though I’ve been here for 15 years. I am a “gearhead” and do like to spend time working on my toys and my house so you would have to put up with that! I try not to go overboard with it though and try to get out as often as I can. It is just more fun when you can share with someone. I am looking for someone that is adventurous and spontaneous, young at heart, loves the water and motorcycles, and of course, dogs. I think life is too short to get to upset over little things so if you like to have fun and have some spirit we could enjoy some good times

Hey, at least you got replies! :eek:
I have had the "servicing" thing going but would like to have a bit more steady thing going. The servicing types haven't been "keepers". :( More like loaners. :D

Congats, Tom.
I agree that it will happen if I don't look for it. My buddy had good success with Match.com so he talked me into it. It ended up being more depressing than helpful. :( :D

Thanks for the tip there, "Lil Ho" :eek: :D :D :D
They donÂ’t use avatars on the personals so not a problem. I lost my old avatar when the system switch was made. I grabbed this one in a hurry. Is it offensive?:eek: :D
Actually, the crew here on Hot Boats is a little more lenient than what you might find on the personals.

that one works thanks . i persoanlly think you give them too much info about yourself. you should keep it to a minimum. give your selves something to talk about. i also don't think it is a good idea to let them know all your money goes to your toy's. but if they are not gold diggers then they shouldn't care. you are a good looking man and i don't think you should have to go to personnals to find a great woman for a great man such as your self. let it be for a while in the personnals and stop looking. she will fall in your lap eventually. enjoy it while you can. she will come . just my opinion.;)

CAHotRodBoy
11-02-2003, 06:22 PM
Thanks, Mrs FV!
My first text didn't mention anything about the toys because of the gold digger aspect. Eventualy, I figured "hey, a gold digger is better than no digger!" :D :D
I agree with you, though. I canceled the Match.com susbscription and will cancel the Yahoo one at the end of the month.
As far as meeting people, most of my activities seem to involve couples, not singles. Harley runs, the river, hot rod runs, etc all have girls with thier husbands/boyfriends. There doesn't seem to be a lot of girls hanging out by themselves or even with other girls. Grocery stores, library, church, hell, I even tried bowling, no luck. I'm not big on the dance club/bar scene either. I think there is nothing more pathetic than an older guy hanging out in a club with a drink in your hand, “hey Baby, wanna dance?”. Now, the RoadRunner and places like that are different. But we don't have anything like that around here. I guess I need to get out of Simi Valley! :eek:
So, here's a good poll question:
Where did you meet your significant other?

11-02-2003, 06:33 PM
I met my "significant other" RIVERRATMIKE on line. I "think" it was on Match.com. We have been together for about 2 years now. (we) went out on A LOT of dates with other people before we decided 2 start dating. We talked on the phone and online first for about a year. I'm glad we waited 2 met. We were "friends" first. He is the BESt thing that ever happened 2 me!!! :) I love him dearly~~~

Now we know your problem!!
I just drove home from Semi and the inlaws:(
That really is a one horse town. Looked for good taco place and couldnt find one!!
Went to the movies last night to see runaway jury and the line went around the building!! Simi has two theaters I guess?
Then I wanted to hit a book store and had to drive to thousand oaks!!!
Move!! While you can

OK, I see the problem. Your ears are too big. Ladies hate guys with big ears. Grow your hair long enough to cover them, then you are good for sure!
:D :D Just Kidding. But there is no more room for any toys on my block.
I heard from some friends that they have had good luck on the internet. Dick Danger said it was easy pickins. Are you posted in the right places?

Found my current old lady in a Camaro club of all places. We were both still married when we met and she actually mention to a few people that she thought I was an ass originally.
Now we're both divorced and having a blast.
She's told me I can have all the toys and speed parts I want so long as I take care of her Camaro too.

I've had pretty good luck on Match.com I've been separated for over a year and don't have the time or desire to do the bar scene. Met 5 ladies this year, 2 DUDs and 3 I've gotten laid by. My rule is that if I don't get laid by date 3, then I'm out. Watch out for 5 year old pictures and don't believe the age they give you. I play that game now too. I'm 40, but I'm 36 in my profile to attract the younger ones. :D

CAHRG, don't let it get you down. Ever since my ex and I split up about 1.5 years ago, I've had a few ads here and there. Even got on Match.com too.
In those 1.5 years, I've had my profile viewed like 180 times or something. Found my ex on there now too and guess what - over 12000 views in less than 2 months.
These dating sites are a joke I think. I bet it's a 100 to 1 ratio of guys to girls.

CAHotRodBoy
11-03-2003, 05:49 PM

I'm gonna cancel the service 'cause I think it's a waist of time and $.
