I used Vash's picture as well, but did great.

I've done the online thing on and off, I'm 46, and found lots of heavy women who hid it well in their photos. The one thing I found real demoralizing was the lack of a response after I've sent an email, I know some women get lots of emails, but on some sites it's a simple matter of a "click" to send a thanks but no thanks reply- I reply to everyone that sends me one, just seems polite.


Several things that I think really help your chances are to have very up to date pictures in different types of clothes- add pictures often and put dates on them. Women seem to be extremely sensitive to grammar and spelling, at least as they get a bit older; I've literally seen several profiles that state that they won't date a guy if he doesn't know the difference between "they're, there and their." Also watch "your" and "you're"

Good luck.
