Finding a mate of any flavor is not an easy thing - atheists are no different in that regard.
Takes effort, time, and lots of patience.

I often wonder why it so hard for someone to meet someone else in a major metro area like NYC or LA.

Maybe join a group, or do some volunteer work? There has to be something out there.

Also might want to add more to your bio. I have found that if you write a novel, most don't bother to read it all. Gotta find the Goldie Locks Zone for profiles. Too small = no interest. Too big = looses interest.

Do you ever smile? You look bored and grim in your unsmiling photos.

What matters more than anything when it comes to your online dating profile? One word: Photos. Photos can drastically increase your chances of getting more communication and dates. Or not.

“Use your photos as a primary tool to express who you are, what you love to do, where you love to go and what type of lifestyle you lead.” (From “The Most Successful Online Dating Profile Photos Revealed” by EHarmony, 2014.)

Want to completely kill any chances of success? Then upload blurry, dark or poor quality images. This seems like an obvious statement, but thousands of people upload pics like this.

You have 5 seconds to make a good impression. Women will see your main photo as a tiny pic the size of a saltine cracker on their cell phone screens. If your main photo is not clear, bright and attractive, they move on.

A genuine smile is inviting, warm and appealing. Women want to see your eyes and smile.

If you look happy in your photos, women will see you as a fun person they will enjoy being around.
