Does this happen to others? I do a search and state what I am looking for a woman and fill in the rest of the information. When the results come back I find a man or men in my search. I've never checked them out, maybe they are listed as women, if so that would explain it. Don't they checkout what people put in their profiles? Mine is honest and that's maybe why I don't get responses back, but I won't be someone I'm not just to find a woman.  sunny

Are you making sure you are putting Man seeking a woman in your search? Make sure you do that right and you will not get any men again!!!

Your profile picture isn't very flattering, your second picture of your face would be a better choice to use. JMO as a woman.
And the answer to your question, I've never had woman come up on a search, looking at me.

I'm not really, I have added more to my profile, which will scare away more women I'm sure. But isn't this about presenting yourself honestly, if not I'm on the wrong site. I type stuff out, sometimes without my glasses, because I can't find them. Don't use spell check, cause in the real world I make mistakes and can live with that.  sunny

Well, Sunny I skimmed your profile and while you try hard to be completely honest, theres nothing there showing a tender and bending side of you....Is there one to allow a woman her niche into your life? Most here are completely comfortable being alone and enjoying who we are but still yearn for that compatibility of showing an interest in putting an effort into making something work out with another if the spark is there. If a man wanted my attention. I would hope he would put out his best look without changing who he was or his principals....
Good luck in your quest

you're correct you have to give and take in a relationship 24/7...when you're more open there are more takers compared to be closed-mine there are less takers...keep it simple add some humor in one's profile, and presto you may get some response

OK, it's time to REALLY get honset here................
Sunny are you REALLY looking for another, or are you like most, just bored and come here for something to do?
If it's just bordom,  I wouldn't change a thing.
BUT, if your really here seeking another, clean up your act. Try the 3 S's, shit, shower shave. I can't think of any women who would purposely seek out someone who looks scruffy, unclean, and with dirty clothes.
Sorry, you want honest, you got it. You have been around probably as long as I have on here, at one time, you did have a nice picture up, but the one now, IT'S GOT TO GO!!! JMO
IF I did a search and you poped up looking like that, I wouldn't even look at your screen name.
So there you have it, people do not buy an apple pie because it tastes good, they buy it because it LOOKS good.
Remember, JMO, others may vary, so don't take it to heart.

I viewed your profile after you wrote to me. THE VERY thing the other ladies are saying (you look like a homeless guy or something), is also true for me. I saw your pics and said, "Wooooh...NOT!" Now I know you can do better than that Sunny. Clean up and put on clean clothes and take a piture. women want a man who really wants them!!! But if you don't present your best self, then we get the idea that you just don't care enough to put forth any effort.
JMO...too!

 Sunny .... No, never see any women pop up in my search if and/or when I do one.  Only men. 
As for your profile, I too looked at it and I have to agree with what the other ladies have said. And think about it .... if people, especially women keep telling you the same thing as these ladies and I'm about to say, there must be something to it and something you should really give serious consideration to. In my words .... presentation is everything .... first impressions mean everything. While I know you are a nice guy, having read many of your posts, based just on looking at your profile if I were searching for a man here to contact, I'd have to say no, I wouldn't contact you. I'm not trying to be mean, just honest and that's based on your profile picture. We all can get dirty and grungy when we're working outside, camping, fishing, cleaning house in many professions and doing many other things but ..... when a person is interested in attracting someone, we shouldn't present ourselves looking like we've been doing things where we've gotten dirty. Wearing clean clothes which doesn't mean they have to be expensive or anything like that, just clean and neat, shower and for the men, a shave and well groomed goes a long way on first impressions.  I respect you're being honest and while you have said in your profile, "Dressup is for wedding and funerals, casual is for going to a movie or out to eat. I'm just trying to present a honest picture of who I am no frills." this is very true, casual is casual and we all do dress casual when living our daily life. But, IMO, casual being unkept and dirty looking clothes as a daily way of dressing isn't my thing in a man in his everyday wardrobe, especially if he's wanting to impress me. Granted, I've been to stores of various kinds shopping and seen men wearing their work clothing like in a hardware store when they've run in to buy something needed on the job or fast food place when they've come in to get lunch and they and their clothing are dirty, that's understandable but not as their daily attire. Sorry, just trying to be honest with you. Just food for thought .... you can be honest and be who you are with clean clothing and being well groomed. Giving the extra care to yourself in your appearance shows good self asteem, concern and care for your personal hygiene and will go a lot farther in impressing a woman. Good luck in your search.

Well I've read all everyone had to say and I'm at a loss for words. I guess when people say they want an honest person as long as he is dressed up that makes him honest. Well I guess I'll have to hunt up better pictures, even if they are 5 years old. As far as shaving I have a beard most all the time and it is short and trimmed often. But I still think what's inside a person is more important then the package it comes in. JMO

Sunny, I take it you finally got your truck finished, now setting your sights on finding a nice woman. Did you get that kitchen done? You know the best way to a woman's heart is a nice kitchen to cook in.....er, watch her man cook in.
As for that photo. You are being honest in who you are. It does show a prospective woman a little indight into the real you. However, she also needs to know that you also clean up nice. A woman does like to show off her man....eye-candy you know. So what if you have a beard and long hair. A lot of men do. Just be sure to keep it neat, a woman doesn't like kissing a rats nest.
As for the problem of men perving your profile. Could be that they think you are a woman with the long hair......May need to take a few new closeups to remove all doubts. Then again, they could also remember your thread about your truck. They could be p[erving your profile in hopes that you have posted more photos of it on there.
BTW........you didn't lose one of your skunks,did you? One has been hanging around here as of late. Don't want nothing to happen to it.

I think I had a woman come up one time. Shoot, with computers, its amazing that anything works half way right half the time.
I'm gonna weigh in on your profile. I'd date you before I'd rate you. The trimmed whiskers are fine with me. I don't like scruffy. My everyday dress is professional, so I like someone who looks like he belongs with me if we decide to run out to Wally World...jeans and a clean shirt, maybe even a button down with a collar.
The only thing that had me scratching my head was all the recycling stuff. I'm not nearly as frugal as you are, but I have been known to turn trash into treasure. In fact, I did it today at school. I wonder two things: 1) Are you a hoarder? 2) Are you one of those liberal green freak watermelons? (You know, green on the outside, RED on the inside?) I'd meet you and talk to you before I came to a conclusion.

No blue my truck isn't done yet and neither is the kitchen, just the cabinets I built. I need to find the money to buy and install new tiles, but I have picked out the pattern. The truck is a 46 chevy and I should at least get it all one color. I would like to get it done, but everything costs money and to be honest, I notice that it takes me longer to get stuff done. That is the downside of living alone, plus I am getting older and maybe a few steps slower. sunny

I just looked at your profile, even emailed you.
I am different, laugh all~I know what you are thinking.
I personally like you being dirty. Its YOU. Not all cleaned up just for a pic.
I like your honesty. Rare find these days.
Looking at your other pics the 2nd is nice the last one is a keeper.
Stay the way you are. Be true to yourself and others.

Thank you very much young lady. It's not the clothes that make the man, it's the man in the clothes no matter if they are dirty. That is the point most women and men miss the boat on. sunny

Hearing that, I don't feel so bad, Sunny. I still don't have my kitchen done either. The men I hired piddled around with it. I think they tore up more than they fixed and made things more complicated than need be. After going over the budget and time limit by three months, I fired them. Them hired another to come redo some of the things that weren't done right and to finish other parts. Still don't have the dry wall skim coated not painted. Nor the trim finished. However, I did finally get the hallway papering done. Looks real nice. Yep, it all takes money, time and effort. Getting downright dirty too.
