I write messages responding to someone's profile, try to inject some humour, generally to people who are online. Ask a question to start a conversation.

I get a reply maybe one time out of 10, and of those replies, no more than 1 in 10 is anything more than a one line response like "hi, how's your day?"

It's pretty easy to get demoralised!

You could always say how do you like your eggs in the morning? Scrambled or fertilised 😎

I'm fat, I'm lazy, I've completely let myself go. I feel entitled to sit on my arse whilst my wife cleans up and washes my dirty pants.

Find me sexually attractive, I'm a man and you women should know your place!

This is not intended to be offensive. Just tough advice.
If you can't decide that simple task, then I'd question if you're even ready to go into someone's life and have an affair with all that entails

I just send an intro, to those who have taken the trouble to write a lovely profile of themselves, and sound like they are in a similar situation, looking for the same, have some things in common, and even might have compatibility with free time for meeting.

Even if they are out of county, and you don't mind a bit of travel, asking how they feel about traveling, can get you started :)

Just be yourself, and you'll find someone after a few weeks :)

The reality is bleak: there are no magic words, no perfect lines. If you’re a guy, it feels hopeless. For women, they hold the upper hand; whatever they write seems enough. They've always had the luxury of choice, ever since we started to stand upright and evolve. For men, it’s a different story. You might boast about your skills, hoping that your words will resonate with someone, anyone. Maybe a flashy car or a fabricated persona of unattainable looks might get you a glance. For some, it’s meditation and the pursuit of deeper truths, but even that rarely hits the mark.

In the end, there’s no universal formula, no one-size-fits-all. It’s a shot in the dark, a desperate reach into an endless tunnel with little hope of light at the end. More often than not, it’s just another dead end, another quiet rejection echoing back from the void.
