LC1976 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 About 6 yrs ago I came on this site because my ex-fiance left me. I was devastated. After crying in my soup; I picked myself up and started dating again. I have been on and off OLD for about 6 yrs. I have met a good number of women (about 20 or so) and talked to dozens more. But I recently got back on Match and OKC (about a month ago), and I noticed a shift in the amount of women contacting me. I used to get 4-5 winks a day and two or three emails for the first two or three months, then a slowdown. Most of these women I would never date, but it was flattering. But since I hit the big 4-0, my numbers have decreased dramatically…to maybe a wink a week and an email every two weeks or so. And my response rate has dropped as well. I used to be around 20% success rate…but no its around 2%. But after reading all the threads I don’t feel as bad. So thank you for that! A couple points I want to make though, in case anyone asks: I never email anyone under 28 and mostly my rule is 31-32 min. I email cute to crazy hot…but I have seen hot women that I don’t email because they sound boring and really….why waste my time.

Oh I do what to ask a question though: Why do I see soooo many female profiles that only want to date much younger men? For example a 33 yr old had 19-32 as he age range...really? This time around I have seen sooo many of these its crazy.
