I placed this ad on Doublelist 3 weeks ago
In the 'Platonic Friendships' section. I have received zero responses:
"Bromance, sidekick, wingman, bff..."
Looking for friend(s)? SGWM enjoys film, theater, coffee shops, humor, conversation, solving problems, exploring, fests, thrift shopping/junk stores, parks... I work 3rd shift so my life is sort of isolated, upside-down. Bi or gay, just be real and genuine with an open mind and friendly attitude. Let’s chat and see if we’d like to meet.

Leave out "solving problems." It just has an unattractive quality.

"Just be..." doesn't really work, either. INstead say, "I'd like to meet someone who's..." or something like that. Something is peeking through between the lines that you may be slightly controlling.

Leave out "theater". Nobody wants IRL to hear your take on whether Audra is vocally appropriate for Gypsy. Save that for Datalounge.

Age? They may want to know if you’re 17 or 85.

3rd shift is hard - most people have time off when you're at work.

Anyhow, it doesn't sound too bad, and you don't come across like somebody who'd be an axe murderer, or anything. Don't know why no one's answered.

Never heard of Double list - but it looks to be a hook-up site.
Here's an article about doublelist ON doublelist saying that it's used primarily for casual encounters.
People are there looking for sex OP - not to meet platonic friends who are only available during the daytime when everyone else is working.

I would also lose "sidekick". Are you the Mary/Lucy to their Rhoda/Ethel?

I suspect that Doublelist has VERY low traffic data... and the "Platonic" listings get even fewer views. You may not have any responses from the three people who read your posting.

It's ok but some words could be changed. Overall it's a bit too cosplay jaunty but if that's you, just fly your flag. Hope you meet someone.

If it's a hookup site then I would think most people on there are looking for a fuck buddy. If that's not what you're looking for OP you may need to go somewhere else.
