You posted a new photo -- and that kinda sorta looks like you mighta been smiling.

Good job!

Intelligent people with ambitions, goals, and self-control don't smoke.
What a stupid waste of money not to mention that it destroys your health.
Dating you means that someone will end up being your caretaker when you get cancer, emphasema, heart disease....etc. You are going to end up lugging an oxygen tank around and being a burden.
ALL BY CHOICE.

If you really want to make yourself more appealing, stop smoking, start eating right, and hit the gym.

Just had a look at your profile. I think you have eliminated at least 60% of the available women by the simple fact that you smoke cigarettes. Probably, it’s more like 80% elimination. So, there’s that.

For the rest, I wholeheartedly agree with @literatehiker on your profile overall. Your photos don’t portray a happy person.

So this is a site for atheists and agnostics, people who openly acknowledge the inanity of religion and it covers the whole planet that we live on and it's a fairly new site but with a growing membership; did you expect to find out that the girl next door was a non-believer and has always had a crush on you? You probably should have noticed that without having to go online.

Your first paragraph is negative, a turnoff

"I'll make this brief. Never had much success with online dating but this makes it more interesting. Hope not to find any fake profiles here.

"So about me...I'll let you figure that out but keeping with my “man of few words" mantra. I'll briefly try. I'm a man of my word, single trying to get by."

Instead

Describe yourself using positive terms.

Talk about activities you enjoy and would enjoy doing with a woman.

Include a sentence or two about the type of woman you want to meet.

Post recent, clear, bright, smiling photos, doing activities you enjoy. Women want to see your eyes and smile.

The psychology is if you look happy in your photos, women will see you as a fun person they would enjoy being around.

Mostly because there isn’t enough of a pool. I’m here more for community than dating. I think it is the same for most people here.
