I've heard women can be inundated with responses. And I got the sense that some women liked the wide net approach.

Not me. When I did the online dating thing, I was always very specific, and no long walks on the beach type of stuff. I didn't get a lot of responses, but the ones I did get were usually worth a a first date.

My last ad only garnered one response. Happily married, thankyouverymuch.
