We never post our pictures on-line. Like you, we aren't unattractive, we just want people who aren't "catalog shopping". We send our g-rated pics rather liberally, but just don't want our faces on the world wide web.

We've done really well with that approach.

It may be that you are trying too hard. When we first got started, we were rather naive and didn't know how to "try hard" - and the first few times at the club we were popular little chimps.

Then we decided that we were going to be the aggressors. That didn't work at all. I think our "predatory movement" just kept us one step ahead of those who were looking for us. We had encounters, but they weren't the same as when things happened more serendipitously. We have changed our tactic and we go to the club and simply enjoy ourselves. Afterall, at the very least, a night at the club is a great time.

We approach the web the same way. We do get some interest and do meet couples, but a lot of patience needs to be used when going that route. Since it isn't our primary approach, it seems pretty busy to us - and we reply with the "no thanks" button more often than not. If that is your main way of meeting folks, then patience is a virtue. It will take some time - probably more than you want to believe. But hang in there! You guys sound like a great couple and there are some great people out there who deserve to meet folks like you!
