I'm not sure really of where to look online for single guys that are to your taste that want to date.I would suggest craigslist but that isn't really a good place I think when I look there for women. I always hear about meetup.com being good. Never tried it myself.

Forums are good if you want to try starting something/anything no matter the distance. Me personally have had a few interested in me from various forums.Depression forums because I am/was depressed. Social phobia forums because I am a social phobic/never go out. They all failed because of me in the end.

I tend to think girls aren't as visual as men. Looks probably still matter though. A good picture is probably everything when it comes to online. I am sure for men they want someone who is eye candy. I know that probably doesn't matter for some and that people do have different tastes. Yeah I probably can't answer the question of where to look since I myself don't really know. I think really if you want better luck, take a very nice picture. Get dressed up. Make up. Take a very nice picture.They'll see your nice picture and then see that you like cool things like anime and video games... they will be hooked. You may say you won't change anything about yourself, which is fine, but to say looks don't matter would be a lie.

Dress up, some nice lipstick, do your hair. Other girl stuff.
