| What are your messaging ratio's?
Posted: 7/10/2009 8:35:41 PM | I don't keep count...
Counting how many emails I get would be skewed because I have a lot of forum friends on here...
I think of all the ones I sent to men of a romantic interest, and I have no idea how many it has been, but it hasn't been that many...I only initiate if he really gets my attention..only one became a dating situation, some have become great friends, and all but maybe one or two replied back with a thanks, but no thanks...I keep trying,but, my experience is..it just works better with them contacting me first...they know what they like...I can only guess..
I don't get a lot of romantic interest emails compared to a lot of women on here...but, I think my ratio of getting to a date from the ones I do get is good...though I also have other sources...I haven't counted since the beginning..since last fall...met one guy and we dated till about Feb...still friends , but not dating...since then I have met an average of one or two guys a month...
I think that because men generally on here don't get emails they are more apt to respond when you email them even to decline because they appreciate the effort... | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 10:08:53 PM | | I have been here a week.
I received 1 message before uploading my pic, which I replied to. Then, I sent a message and have been having an email conversation with 1 woman since.
I can't complain. | |

Posted: 7/11/2009 12:27:44 AM | I seem to flunk out on the recipient end. I seen out emails and rarely hear back. I wish that men would have the courtesy to at least say thank you for writing but................I'm not interested. I recently had someone I knew casually blow me off and that hurt my feelings a lot. Maybe some guys could explain why they don't answer emails.

Posted: 7/11/2009 2:53:29 PM | I'm doing pretty well. :)
Out of about 20 sent messages, I say I've gotten about 13 replies.
I've recieved about 20 messages also and have replied to maybe 10 of them.
Out of all of those, I've been on dates with 4 women from the site. 2 of which turned into "relationships" of some kind. As for now... still on the quest for "the one". Just keep on truckin.
Then again, I'm very selective when initiating contact and will only initiate if I have a strong feeling of compatibility with the person. | |

Posted: 9/26/2009 7:40:36 PM | Pretty good.. I've had about 70% replied to my first contact emails, and I have replied to everyone that has contacted me first... Others are ongoing correspondence with POF-ers that keep in touch with me or visa-versa

Posted: 9/26/2009 7:56:29 PM | I've started looking for men to send messages to. Yesterday I must've sent about...oh, 20 or so messages to different men. So far, I've only heard back from 2 of them.
Some men say get more replies, but that's never the case with me :( Why won't men reply? | |

Posted: 9/26/2009 9:29:13 PM | | I've sent about 20 and received 2. It can be really frustrating and I try not to take it personal, but it's not easy. | |

Posted: 9/26/2009 9:49:29 PM | Ive sent probably about 4-6 initial emails and received around 30-40 or so, and have been on here I think about a year and 1-2 months I think. And yes I am a guy. But this doesn't mean I've been successful on here. Most women play games, even if their the one who contacts you first. As far as the few I did send first I think only 2 replied. Maybe 3. Hard to remember cause I so rarely send out first emails.
And out of the 30-40 I've got only maybe 20 I've replied to; the rest where unattractive, obviously much older than they say(I'm 30, I may look younger but if your around my age but look 10-20 years older, no thanks!), etc. | |

i'm shy so i have a hard time sending the first message.. Is that why women just come by my page and never leave a message? They want me to see that they are interested and to send them a message first. Hmm ok learn something everyday. lol | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 4:13:16 AM | | No idea. But I only get emails from potential-dating girls. Maybe had three different girls email me, like from a forum post, or whatnot. But all the rest have been to talk and get to know each other, etc. I'd say for every ten I send, 2-5 reply. I actually do get a few initiated emails from girls to talk. | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 2:25:32 PM | | Yeah, Jacob. A lot of girls won't email guys even if they're interested. They're either too shy/don't know how to initiate it, or they are just old-fashioned and feel a guy should make the first move. But viewing your profile alone isn't really an indication that she wants to talk to you/is interested. Go ahead and do it anyway, but who's to say she liked what she read? Maybe she just liked your default and that's all. Now if a girl favorites you... that's a def. invite to email her. So check your favorites a few times a week! That's why I think POF should adopt the 'wink' or 'icebreaker' feature; I think a lot of girls would use it to let guys know they're interested, but want them to make the first move. | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 2:29:47 PM | | ^^^Putting a wink or icebreaker feature would definitely be a good idea. Which is something they should have done a long time ago. | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 2:34:20 PM | | Yeah jacob 8088 a wink feature would be interesting to try out. Many pay sites have similar features where you can send a wink for free without having to pay a sub. So having one on here would be a good thing. | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 4:04:42 PM | | Isn't really a need for a "wink" feature on a free site since you can just email anyone you choose. That's probably why there isn't one. It makes sense on a pay site because if she winks back, it's a better indicator that you won't spend five dollars for an email only to have it unread and deleted. | |
