Yes, I have gotten messages from men who have hardly anything in their bio and haven't written or responded to more than a few posts, if any. I ask them to tell me more about themselves, plus get more involved with the community. Most of them do neither. I mean, no one has to be an open book, but how are you supposed to get to know someone if you don't know anything about them? It's like they think this is Tinder or something.

Amen (can I say that on this site?), sista...

I see this more on other dating sites but it irritates me when they put “just ask” for their bio or to questions. No! Don’t make me do all the work! Tell me a little about yourself and I’ll ask questions from there!

... or only mentioning they want to get laid. So much warmth.

I don't think men as a gender have to obey a call to add more detail, just as women shouldn't have to smile more in photos because it looks prettier. If you're curious, ask. Otherwise don't sweat it.

I've marked myself as open to dating, but the reason I'm here is for the community.

Women do this as well. I've even messaged a few about it, but gotten no replies.

They didn't put it into words, but they are sub-communicating their character traits.

You go girl!

Actually i've not yet read any ones bio, or really paid attention to their pic. I'm more interested in what they have to say, or comment.

You search them? I didn't even know you could

Maybe try asking them directly. Generally people get kinda stumped with what to put on their profile. Guys post a few of their interests, maybe their jobs. Most of us are open books if you take the time to ask specific questions, but aren't about to type out our life stories in our profiles. Effort from the other side is appreciated too.

Lots of talking, servey taking, and chit chat about books and movies but not a lot of meeting going on.

That's fair if it's true. I guess I don't really think of this as a dating site in the typical fashion. Limited options here in the south but I don't really have an issue dating someone who doesnt think like me this way. Been doing it my whole life anyway.

However I will say the options are much more limited than true dating sites probably in every location.

I think Cheeze Jokes is the fastest moving page, I've posted there a few times. Not much interaction otherwise. I thought more people would be interested in Solar/wind generation. Maybe I need to step up my bio.

I find when peole get into who they are, it doesn't mean much. People usually say things they think other people want to hear. I believe the men do this more than the women. You get to know those things in the back and forth on the phone, or to a lesser degree, messaging. The no picture thing l don't get, if you wish to meet someone on line.

Let's get real:::[vimeo.com]

You wouldn't like me anyway... why bother?

I think that it's nice to be on a site where the thought processes mesh more and are in tune with each other. It's hard enough out here trying to find someone on a christian site. Having a better chance of meeting someone who thinks like I do is a good thing, yes? I don't list anything because people will see a quality and strive to be that and I'd like it to be totally natural that we connect. Ask questions and inspire each other to discover.

Some being in or on the border of bible belt towns may be cautious due to employer reactions. Granted I just joined but I have been found on social media way too often even though I have it all locked down.

Maybe because we don't want to provide our personal information all over the world wide web if you have questions ask them I really don't care about the dating so I don't really feel it's anybody's business what my personal life is

Can't please anyone it seems. No wonder online dating is such a bust for me!

Why love has no home here,

for in her heart there is too much anger too much fear,

my love has a home somewhere somewhere not here

my love followed me across the sea to find where it was

meant to be

when my love is found far away for to see will my love

still love me?

Some of us Men,have been scammed,or are still recovering from a loss,maybe too afraid to "Open up" on feelings and emotions. An old saying comes to mind; "The Heart is a lonely Hunter". Isn't dating hunting? Finding a compatible (in most Men's cases), a compatible Woman? To form a couple,to be "There" for each other,when life lands it's crushing blows(and it will)?

i have to say i was surprised ild joined a dating site surprised in i didnt know so maybe theres some just like that i was rat arsed when i joined tho
