Thank you, Mark, for your sincere advice, I don't feel offended in any way, I don't know why you thought I would.

As Мария noticed (in the first comment), what counts is not quantity, but quality, and I completely agree with that.   I am not looking for thousands, I am looking for exactly one person.  It doesn't have to be neither a professor at the university, nor miss universum, it should simply be the RIGHT person. Спасибо, Мария!

The reason why I asked the question was because a few girls who had sent their first message to me and we continued the conversation, told me that I looked like a valuable person and stood out among the other men on this website.  At the same time huge majority of girls to whom I sent a message first, had different opinion.  I was simply surprised by such disparity.

Natalya, I'm looking for a much younger person, because I don't feel very well among people at my age or older, they are usually very serious, constantly talking about problems, they are not spontaneous.  I feel best among people who are around 22-25 years old.  Most of my friends are below 30.  Is it bad?

P.S. Losing my facial hair is not an option - for some reason my skin is extremely sensitive to shaving and I look terrible afterwards.
