So I finally did it, I placed a profile on Match.com
Has anyone here played with this? Any tips, techniques or words of wisdom?
Cool stories?
Horror stories?
By the way because I don’t have many pictures of myself so I placed a pic of the 7R instead. Got a response claming I wasn’t honest.
Honestly, I have more pics of the 7R than of myself.
Strange?

maybe it was something you put in your actual profile, not the *pic* of what i presume is one very hot bike..
i'm married, so can't help ya out on what to put, not to put.. just be yourself on there... the fact that you own more pics of your ride than yourself isnt a bad thing.. just show's how passionate you are about riding.. heck, what woman doesn't like a man owning up to his passion's right off the bat??
i say go with being yourself..
Here is advice from someone that has been there. I tried match when I got divorced and didn't really have time to scope out the bar scenes because of my kids. I found with match that you met alot of people that were just OK...the girls on there get TONS of responses so they seem to be looking for the pretty boys (which I am not) occasionally you find one on there that is actually looking for a solid relationship and is not only looking for physical attraction but also for compatibility. I had my best luck on eharmony.com, on that site they actually link you to people that have similar personalities, beliefs, and values. I would say that no matter what site you pick...put up a pic of yourself as you will recieve far more responses that way. How well did eharmony work for me?? Well I got to meet alot of really cool girls..went on lots of dates and ended up marrying a beautiful and intelligent girl that I have a ton in common with...and she rides also. I couldn't be happier with the results...so in conclusion...match.com gets a D+ and eharmony gets an A+ from me
You get good and bad on the online dating sites. I still do it and have found the experiences can be both positive and negative. I had a date last night with a lady I met online and ended up having a great time. But then, I've also ended up on dates with women who were married and looking for something on the side, which I don't do.
Tips:
1) Honesty. Be honest about what you're looking for and you'll have a much better time. You may not get as many dates, but at least they'll be better. If you're not looking to get married right away, don't want kids, etc., state that. Many of the women I've met through online dating services are feeling the biological clock ticking and are looking to get hitched and start a family soon. If you're not in the same boat, then the two of you are going to be at an impasse in 6 months time.
2) Distance. It can be a problem depending upon where you're located. Limit the searches to about 50 miles. Most women I've met will only go for the 25 mile limit. Some will go for 50 if they feel you're worth it. Don't go for anything more unless you're really looking to settle down. Yes, it can be limiting.
3) Stay away from the whole Icebreaker stuff. I've found short intro emails to be more successful. Icebreakers are easy and take no effort...most of the women I've talked to are more impressed by someone who makes a little effort.
4) Post a picture of yourself, not your bike. Women don't generally date sight unseen. I'm the same way. If the woman won't post a pic, it makes me think she's hiding something. Not only that, but if you're looking to date, posting a pic of your bike or your car pretty much tells the gal where your priorities lie. You gotta use a little common sense with the opposite sex mang...
5) Don't get frustrated. You'll go through dry spells. It happens.
I should use a picture of me dragging knee on the 'tuna. That way there wont be a "So are you going out riding instead of going out with me?" later down the road.

I find match to be a blast. The problem is designing a profile that sticks out from the rest.

Maybe, but for whatever reason that was, it is not encouraging at all.
Well, I did a profile on match.com with a picture of me almost dragging knee on the 'Tuna. I really don't expect to find anyone in there, but if I get to know some ladies that enjoy rididng, well, that could be fun on itself. I need to get to know more people, I lost all my friends thanks to my current ex.
