hey, just wondering if anybody knows of any good singles sites or messageboards. I am looking for a devotee in louisiana. I put a profile up on myspace, but no responses yet I am actually 27, but I put 24 on the myspace page and left my pictures out because I have family members on myspace and I ddn't want any of them finding out about my "Devotee Wanted" profile. www.myspace.com/wheelchair_guy_1

Good for you for putting yourself out there, but I think you should change your strategy in online dating. First, it seems to me that myspace is more of a social networking site, and like paradevo it's not just for dating. I would suggest putting up a profile on a site that is only for dating, like yahoo personals, match.com, nerve.com, eharmony, or true, etc. You don't have to spam all of them, just target one or two that seem to have the most profiles in your geographic location. Second, I understand not wanting to be recognized, but you must tell the truth about your age and post at least 2-3 photos. If your profile is on a dating site, the chances of your mom or your cousin seeing it go way down, so you don't have to disguise yourself. Third, and this is the hard part, unfortunately you can't attract love (or sex) by looking as if you are in desperate need of it. Don't talk about how women don't like guys in wheelchairs (even if it's sometimes true) or how lonely and horny you are (even if it's true). I would also recommend not mentioning devotees specifically. There aren't enough of us to make a difference, and you might put off some otherwise open-minded girl. The best thing in a profile is to talk about all the things you like (mutual interests are key), and be positive about your personality and your disability. You're a very handsome guy--how many other guys on here were compared to movie stars? If you put up some photos and project a little confidence about yourself (even if it's partially faked), I think you'll do a lot better.

Hey.. I agree with devogirl, she said a lot of things that were really true. Just want to point out that.. well, you're really good looking, I know i'm not the only one who thinks so, so just get your courage up and post a few pix of yourself when you make a profile. Ok? I'm positive it'll help. G'luck buddy

Steve, you are a gorgeous guy, so as Devogirl said SO beautifully, don't stress the sex. Put the focus on who you are and what you like and don't like. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen right away. Are you just looking for a quick bang? There are places to go for that. Or do you want more? More takes time, patience and scrutiny on your part.

LOL it seems girls know that guys just want some "crumpet" (I cracked up at that word when Triassic used it), but I guess they appreciate the effort in us pretending otherwise......

There are girls out there who want sex without a relationship, but there are far fewer girls than guys who want that. You'll maximize your chances by keeping your ad tasteful and casual. Don't advertise just for sex, and don't detail your masturbatory fantasies in your ad--it will put most women off. On the other hand, you don't have to lie about the kind of relationship you want. Just say something like "I'm not looking for anything serious" or "I just want to have some fun" and the ladies will know what you mean.

Okay, here I am! I finally got up the courage to post after chickening out several times. I am a 29 year-old dev from Lousiana (I think only a couple of hours from you). I've been reading the fiction on this site for quite some time, but have never posted messages. I don't always have access to the internet, so I wouldn't be able to post regularly anyway. I saw your myspace profile. I have to admit that it would have scared me away had I not read your posts here first. But you sound like a pretty decent guy (although your good looks are a little intimidating - you really do look like Orlando Bloom)! I'm not sure what I want at this point, but I definitely wouldn't mind chatting. I'm always up for making new friends anyway, but I would definitely have to get to know you before anything else. I'm just a little terrified at the thought of any of this right now. I am just now admitting to myself that I'm a dev. Okay, I'm rambling I know...just a bit nervous. Okay, EXTREMELY nervous! Anyway, if you want to chat just let me know. That’s all I can promise for now. I'll try to check back soon. I must warn you that I can't compete with Chan in the looks department! I have some pictures on my old yahoo profile if you're interested, but they are not recent. Hope to chat soon!

Awwww, c'mon, you're just saying that because you don't want the women here to think poorly of you. Break those societal chains!!! Jump in your car, head over there, and get laid!!!! It's good for the planet's karma.
