What am I doing wrong?

November 25 2024

So when it comes to messaging others I hardly ever get a reply regardless of how much or how little effort I put in. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. How long should an initial message be and what should it have included in it to help increase the chances of getting some sort of reply?

    The bandana and swigging a beer is not the best start ?

    Possibly a very vague profile description? You could gamble a bit and be specific and more vulnerable with it.

    Not everyone is everyone's cuppa tea. Just because you're attracted doesn't mean they will be. And a no reply is a reply in itself.

    You have one page and under a minute to make a lasting impression on someone, have you utilised this well?

    If you don't have a profile pic that has washboard abs and pecs the size of watermelons then the chances of you getting a return message aren't good. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the odds aren't in the average single guys favour here.

    I dont think you are doing anything wrong as long as your message is respectful, which I am petty sure it is. Maybe you are just not doing enough? I really like your profile pictures, your smile and eyes out in nature, thats a plus for me and captures me straight away, so well done one that part. But the profil itself doesn't stand out to me, I would recommend you write something less generic. Keep in mind you have to cast your line many time to get a bite or a nibble, let alone a catch. Good luck, I am sure you will meet some great people if you are persistent.

    Mate, I mean this with the greatest of respect to you and everyone else. There's a certain look that attracts the responses from women on this site. There's about 10% (or less) of men here who get all the action. The rest of us get the odd conversation here or there. You need to lower your standards because the women on this site, by way of being so outnumbered and having every second horndog member in her inbox, has the luxury of raising her standards way beyond what she'd expect in the real world. She doesn't have to smile and look away awkwardly. She doesn't have to say no to the drunk asking to buy her a drink. But most of all, she doesn't even have to say "No thanks". Afterall, no reply is a reply.

    I've been moderately successful on RHP over the years. But it's required a lot of patience and persistence (not the creepy or pushy kind). I always try to be mindful of her/ their profile. Are we really a match? If so, I try to ensure my first message references something in their profile to demonstrate that I've read it and care about them ... and I'm not just trying to fuck with anyone who'll say yes.

    Your profile is nice but a little basic in its total. When we see profiles that don’t say much or are generic in their description we don’t really progress to contact as we don’t really have any idea what / who the person is seeking. Being a single male im sure you will struggle as there seems to be many other profiles wrecking it for you but creating the stigma of horny single dirty males. Your photos are lovely but maybe be a little more cheeky in your description and create a conversation
