I’m married (26m) and my wife (26f) and I are open, primarily on the basis that she eventually plans to eventually participate as well, but struggles with sexual contact due to past trauma, and our physical relationship has been slowing down as a result, but offered to open up the relationship so I can still explore with casual play with a FWB. She kindly helped me make profiles on a few ENM apps, with Feeld being the one I use the most. Problem is, it’s been nearly 6 months of having active profiles and I’ve maybe gotten one or two matches a month, only some would message back after matching, and the few that do essentially die in the inbox after 2-3 messages. Ultimately none of them have made it past that stage. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong? I’ve changed up my bio, tried to be specific about what I’m looking for, I use up to date pictures and when starting conversations trying to appear interesting and cool, and it always fizzles out. It’s beginning to hurt my confidence as I feel like maybe I just don’t have the appeal, maybe there’s not room for me in that community, and I’m certainly not conventionally attractive. I do understand why solo males are seldom people’s first choices in this scene, but not always. This is something I’ve wanted to explore for years and now that I finally have the green light it’s just going nowhere. Any advice for how I can improve?
