I wonder what's the record for most messages sent without a reply?
I'm up to 18 now.

A couple years ago i was on PoF - sent plenty of messages without reply. I did try out loads of different (and sometimes random/cheeky/off the wall) messages though.
Not one reply. Then as soon as i was lucky enough to get a reply, the amount i got started to increase as well.
Keep it up - it can be difficult to judge what kinda message will work when you are only working off their profile.

On POF i used to send loads but no reply - perhaps it was because i was bothered. Now i just don't care and usually start a message with "Hello Beautuful" ... to someone thats average at best

I suppose there's a chance I'm just going for girls who are out of my league looks-wise, but I'm not gonna message girls I don't find attractive.

Tell them you're a pilot Tommy, but I guess that's not the type ride you're looking for. (insert silly joke here)

I've told them I "work for the government" which is a ridiculous line in itself (albeit true).

I'll be different here and just say - be yourself. It's rather boring yes, but if you're looking for a date that might lead to a relationship and not just sex. Just be yourself. Last thing you want is dating a woman who thinks you're something else.

you could say;
"are you an archaeologist?" her: "no, why?" "because i've got a large bone i'd like you to look at"

tommyred - you have my respect, and my understanding. More important than that, it is clear that this caring community has only your happiness at heart. I too seek happiness, as I guess do most of us. From the brief glimpse that this thread has shown, I know you will emerge into a world of female friendship and caring.
I'm not offering any sound advice, for I am no expert, and we are not familiar enough for me to speak my mind (yet).
I know nothing about internet dating sites. I live in the middle of nowhere, so they're a bit moot. I did notice that scholeseviltwin said "I was on PoF - sent plenty of messages without reply. I did try out loads of different messages. Not one reply. Then as soon as i was lucky enough to get a reply, the amount i got started to increase as well."
I wonder: Are prospective suitors aware that you have not been approached? If so, perhaps you need to get the ball rolling, by getting a couple of RoM friend to register on the dating site as delightful nubiles who flock to your profile. This may seem shallow, but actually it is merely a patch that sorts a glitch.
One warning. Once the honeys are flowing into your melting pot, said RoM friend may be tempted into a little malarkey.

Good news: Finally got a reply after messaging about 30 and we've exchanged a few messages.
Bad news: She's a Liverpool fan.

Good on you Tommy. Try to look past the Liverpool bit and try to avoid footie banter at all cost if her Scouseness starts to annoy you.
