Ladies: There are wonderful handsome single men who aren't getting emailed


You're beautiful.  Get out there!!

Did you know that there are wonderful handsome single men on dating sites that have empty mailboxes?   Nobody is emailing them.

Really?  Seriously.

I was reading a post on another dating blog by a guy who said that he got 3-4x more emails from women when he didn't post a picture.  He was an average-to-handsome guy, so why was he getting FEWER emails when he had pictures posted?

Easy.  There are lots of women out there who have no idea just how special and beautiful and worthy they are of love.  These are the women who will favorite a profile and read it and stare at the picture and think, "Wow, he's perfect.  But he'd never email me back.  He wouldn't want me.  I mean, LOOK AT HIM.  He wouldn't want to be seen with a girl like me."

Here's a news flash:   You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, ladies.

That wonderful, perfect, successful man might be sitting at home staring at his empty email box wondering why nobody's writing.   If that man gets an email from you, one of three things is going to happen:

1) He'll ignore it because he's not interested in you.

2) He'll send a stock "Thanks, but no thanks" email.

3) He'll write back and want to learn more about you.

The majority of guys aren't going to send you an email saying, "OMG, you are such a fat cow! Step away from the cheeseburger!"   They just aren't.  Most of those guys will just delete your email.

No matter what outcome, you can't lose by emailing the guys you're interested in.  Don't be hard on yourself.  Get out there and express your appreciation and interest in the fine men of your dating site of choice.  Who knows, you may find your match!

    the important part is maintaining a positive outlook, be realistic and know that not everyone is going to be click... I look for that mutually.
