| So, do pictures matter that much?
Posted: 11/17/2004 8:36:19 PM | I'm wondering... I haven't received any replies to the messages I've sent out.
Now, all appear as "unread", but I wonder if anyone will indeed nswer. I've also been wondering if I'm not actually trying to contact people who are no longer "on the market" so to speak.
Last but not least: is a picture that important? Being married, I find that risky... unless I settle for a goat pic, or some landscapes, as others have - LOL ! | |

Posted: 11/19/2004 7:17:27 PM | | That's funny as I came back to this site to reply to message someone sent me! Anyway I have got quite a few replys, but it takes time. I think there are various resons why you don't get a reply. One reason maybe there are busy talking to a person or people and want to see where it leads before sending a reply back to you, if at all. People will generally go for the ones with pictures first. Some because to see if they are pretty or not. In my case, I usually go for a picture, but for a diffrent reason. Lets say, If I have a girl half naked in a towel it probably would not be my first choice. But if a picture of a girl with her family a better choice, See?!? Then sometimes I send one to one with no picture if her profile seems interesting. | |

Posted: 11/19/2004 9:02:47 PM | Hmm.
I haven't been on here too long but for all the messages I've sent out I have yet to get a sinlge reply. Im not really sure what kind of messages a gal is into reading. I mean, Im polite and I only send out messages to people that, I feel, have something interesting (funny, thought provoking, etc) to say in their profile. I don't really pay too much attention to peoples pics cause its just as likely their fakes or stolen.

Posted: 11/24/2004 4:28:59 AM | whew!!! this feels great, i am going on the 4 page of mail, all from POF members, the trick is, i just read posts, see interesting ones, contact people and somehow before you know , you are having mail , not all will respond and the trick is, you also don't bother with those, just keep writing , don't give up. It has worked for me | |

Posted: 11/24/2004 5:40:28 AM | I've been blowing up lately. I guess the word is getting out. lol
With a statement like that, the only thing blowing up must be my ego. Quick! Someone stick a pin in it.
Seriously though. It is nice to be getting more mail now. A lot of it has been friendly banter with some of the nice people from these forums, but a few romance interests have weaseled their way into my in box.

Posted: 11/24/2004 7:54:07 AM | | Hey what i forgot to say, when you send a message to some one, try to read up the profile before and see what interests them, chances are that they will email back bcoz you touched a topic of interest, no guarantees though, don't come back and bite my head off | |

Posted: 11/26/2004 4:06:21 PM | Well, I've only sent 3 messages to people on the forums. They were very short, just compliments for the most part. It's wierd for me. I have no problem stating my opinion on the forums. But when it comes to sending a private message... I don't know. It's not the fear of rejection. I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. I think maybe the people I sent compliments to may have gotten the wrong idea, they don't respond to any of my comments anymore on the forums, so lol... not sure. Start to wonder if I shouldn't have said they are cute and I love their peronality, but was just sending a compliment. If they still think I'm trying picking them up or something, well maybe they are used to the attention and see all compliments as a come-on. Well, either way, I still like the forums, they're addicting. So, I just post on the forums and read the interesting ones while I watch TV...lol
Tayven,
Maybe I was wrong about the personality to begin with, I hope not. Would be a shame. | |

Posted: 11/27/2004 12:11:19 AM | This is interesting. I'm a guy so I never expect to get messages from girls unless I contact them first. The reason is that they get a million messages that say things like "u r kewl, do u like sexy chat?" And I mean they get those by the hundreds. Then they probably don't bother to check in at all after a week, because they expect more of the same.
Guys: Do a test. Start a fake account with a picture of a pretty girl and see how many messages you get that are utterly offensive. | |

Posted: 11/28/2004 9:22:02 PM | There is a message hidden in here... Essentially it is that there are far more guys that are willing to take a chance than girls... And there is the whole trust issue too...
For example, my current job entails a lot of traveling... I thought to myself... well, the commute is a bit far... but, why not see what is within reasonable driving distance. Meaning, if I hit it off, we could do weekends on a regular basis or some such as things progressed. I sent a nice polite message to a lady in the city that I will be in for the next week. All of my specifics are posted here, along with a picture, I am hiding nothing. I even included that I was coming into town for business. I suggested perhaps getting together for a coke, a dinner or a movie... If she was interested... I said... at worst, you get a free dinner or movie, at best, she could end up with a friend and who knows from there. Being able to see if your mail was read and what was done with on here is one of the nicer features. I did not even get a polite response... Read and trashed... sad...
There was another gal on here, her story touched my heart... she said that she was lonely. I started my missive to her telling her that I knew I was too old to be a romantic interest for her (at least I assume so) but suggested that if she needed someone to talk with, or if she would like to go out to dinner sometime, I would be happy to spend some time with her... You would have to read her profile to see why I offered... The flame that I got was quite... intense... She did end up apologizing... and we exchanged a couple of nice emails... but have heard nothing from her since... shame... she was quite a nice person...
I have been on here a year... I have had maybe 5 repsonses... several of them were rude, met one lady, very charming but it ended up going no where. Most of my notes that I have sent out have be studiously ignored...
Including, a couple of mails to folk that had taken the time to vote on me (a 10 no less) but though they voted a 10, they will not even speak to me... talk about bizzare behaviour...
Oh well... no we guys don't get nearly the response that the girls do... | |

Posted: 11/30/2004 7:41:20 PM | | I've emailed a couple. The one that I really wanted to respond back, did. The other one, hasn't - I did a follow up email maybe thinking that he 'accidentally' deleted my initial email, hehe, but he still hasn't responded back. Read it, just has yet to delete me. I just don't get it. I do not bite (unless requested to). Only takes a second to tell someone that you are not interested. Anyway, even if he does respond back, I am so not interested now - especially if that is a preview of the sort of person that he really is. Not my type. | |
