BTW- I was wondering- you know those guys who have massive stream of consciousness e-mails? Have you ever bothered to write any of them back? Or the ones that say, "Hi, my name is so-and-so, and nothing else?

What ages are men emailing you from match currently? What age do you want to attract (let's start with that - could be pictures etc that appeal to younger set). I think truth attracts truth so I'd keep the age as is. I don't buy the age thing. Being in your early 30s is a perfect range b/c you can attract men from 28-40 and be happy with someone in that range. I ran this by my dad who thinks it's ridiculous to be embarrassed by being in the best age bracket of your life. Truthfully, the early 30s is the time when you're still in great health, look great and have your life ahead of you. Flaunt it, flirt with it and wear it comfortably. I guarantee you that once you're comfortable with your age, the men will be too. It's all about being comfortable and accepting of who you are. Everyone is attracted to a self accepting person.


In terms of massive emails, my rule: if I can't read the email within 5 minutes than I skip it. I simply don't have time to read over the hieroglyphics of some one's email or profile. Imagine that guy on a date? He'll be talking to you in one huge sentence for hours. Who has time for that? Those guys will be around when you're 90. Next guy please! A normal man should write something short, ask a question and sign his name. Anything more than that and he's either: bored, nuts, jobless (so he has time to write huge emails), drugged or worse- writing us from a mental institution.
