ONLINE DATING, what am I doing WRONG?

I set a nice profile picture and a good resume on one what of those dating sites, hoping to get one of those cute guys that I saw online in my area.

And what do I get?

Unattractive men who are TWENTY YEARS older than me!

Men who live TOO FAR from me ever to date!

Do I get any nice young guys who live in my area? NO!

WHY do I always get the WRONG men when I join one of these sites and WHY can't I get the ones I WANT!!!

You're not doing anything wrong. It's the dating site that is. They just think they know what they are doing, when they obviously don't.
Most younger guys prefer to do things the old-fashioned way. It's the older men who feel like they are too old to deal with the hassles of the old-fashioned way. I am sure there are a few of the type you are looking for on those sites, but a majority will be older.
well here is a starter......be specific on what ur looking for...if your looking for a guy in your area, say that...and be specific on what ages you want ur friend to be.........if theres some one asking you...thats 20 yrs older...ur obviously not being specific enough
forget dating sites try going out and actually meeting people then you will know what you are getting. dating sites are usually for people who want to discreetly cheat on thier spouse that is why you get older and far away guys.
The only way to get the ones you want is if you actually go out and get them. You posted a pic and a resume, and are now sitting back waiting for the one you want to find it? That's not how internet dating works. Find the one you want and make contact. He will then be able to see your pic and profile and either choose to talk to you or not.
On your profile page are you specifying anything like age that you would like to go out with? You may need to be more specific in what you want. I had a long distance relationship on line with a guy who is now my husband. You have to be careful in doing that though, and you need to be choosy as well as who you will go out with. Dating isn't something that clicks when you want it to. You have to be patient, and try to find the humor in all of it. It's rough, I know, but so is marriage.
online dating brings out all of the crazy people I swear. I tried it a while back (and yes I'm attractive and intelligent) and I gotta bunch of crazy people too. Even some pervs in the mix. You could try contacting the guys you find attractive and see if the write back, that's pretty much what I did. That way you are deciding who you talk to not them
get off those sites. try hanging out a different places that you dont normally go to but may hold some interest for you. that internet dating can be really a pain. depending on how old you are then hang out where guys that age are sure to be.
I'm on a dating service too and the same thing happens to me. Just be patient. It took a while but I am finally starting to get some good ones. It takes time and new people sign up every day. Just be polite to the ones you are not interested in by saying "no thanks." We don't always get what we want. Another thing is, on your profile BE HONEST. A lot of people lie so be careful!
I prefer the smaller dating sites and the niche sites. I recommend trying
