| Why don't any one in Michigan reply when you send mail on here
Posted: 10/23/2006 6:34:00 AM | Since everyones complaining and blameing other people for not responding, maybe the ones that write the emails that get no response should stop and take a look at what they're writing to people, if it's not working, try something different, make your profile a bit more interesting, take a little extra time with your letter when first emailing someone. I've responded to a few peoples profiles, sometimes I get a response, then sometimes I don't! Theres my two cents!  | |

Posted: 11/7/2006 3:47:44 PM | Wow, you sound like quite a catch! <==fish humor. Not sure who you have contacted but here is a checklist of sorts that might help...
I would be sure and read a girl's ad VERY carefully before contacting her. It shows respect. I normally respond to all but if someone from lets say Ohio sends me something and my ad specifically says LOCAL in the first line AND I state I am not interested in 'chatting', etc. then I do not feel obligated to answer since they obviously did not read my ad or maybe they did and chose to ignore what I wrote.
If the latter is the case...if you address an issue specifically like 'I know you don't like blah...but ...' and state your case, you can sometimes get past a 'deal breaker' with charm or wit. At least you should get a response for being 'amusing'
The other thing I would do is stick to my age bracket and race at least for starters especially if you are new to this. It is easiest to connect with people in your peer group. Not saying 'race' because you are of color, this goes for anyone. People who date outside the norm are just a smaller minority and it is tricky to respond (even negatively) if this is the reason for no interest from someone you have contacted dig?
And finally, Always be sincere and polite (and funny if that is you) and at the very least people will think well of you. Even if it does not net dates, you may still get some chat buddies in the meantime who may have friends just right for you or maybe even be able to give you some input on what you may be doing wrong, etc.
Best of luck getting responses!

Posted: 11/8/2006 12:26:40 PM | I normally don't reply when all the person writes is 'Hi'. I can't work with that. When I get mail I go and look at the persons profile. If they seem like my type I reply back, if they don't then I go marrily about my way. Which is my question I know it's out of consideration, but should I respond with a "sorry your not my type e-mail." if I'm not interested in a person the mailed me? Just curious. Keep on trying Bigkelv.

Posted: 1/5/2007 2:50:36 PM | I agree with you, I have probably sent out like close to 30 emails, and if it isn't the pic then it's the age or something to do with the way you look, to me personally it doesn't really matter how old you are or how good you look, I always reply to my emails pic or no pic it doesn't matter to me, so maybe you are just being to picky on who you look up? try some younger girls in Michigan and see what happens! | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 9:29:58 PM | There are 2 keys to dating a Michigan woman.
1. A Big wallet.
2. Exceptional good looks.
Me, I have neither, so I am looking elsewhere. I never had even a date on POF. I did with pay sites.
POF is full of "wishful thinking" women that cant even afford $100 to get a good date.
I have done both, and I know for a fact. | |

Posted: 1/13/2007 7:11:21 AM | You know, in my career, I need to write documents that need to express technical information in a manner that is often legally binding. When I am home, I like to relax. I do not like to look for the proper spelling of words that are not on top of my head. And I do not pay any attention to grammar. If a woman is turned off by such things, then it would make me wonder..... I lived with a "hen picker" for 7 years, and I won't do that again.
Off topic, I wish that POF would allow you to edit posts. I would wish to edit my previous post, it was more of an emotional rant than anything.
Furthermore, how does one write an introduction letter? First letters are a "wink", IMO. Unless your a total bullshi$$er, or have a clip/paste letter, one tends to be brief to see if there is interest. People do not like to waste time writing to people that probably will not reply.
I wish more women would just say "I am not interested in you", or anything.
For me, I have replied to every response, be it that I was interested or not. I wish everyone would be as courtious. | |

Posted: 1/13/2007 9:46:44 AM | Hey man I think you hit the nail on the head. The women on this site are just Internet junkies with a lot of mental and emotional baggage, it makes you wonder how they were ever in a relationship in the first place.
I don't know if this is true with all of the women on here, but it is definitely true with the good looking ones.
So do you get any responses to your profile? | |

Posted: 1/13/2007 2:42:16 PM | | I have experienced that only half of the women that I have mailed tendered thier reply. Considering that we are living in a time where good manners are on the decline... Why should this be a surprise. Those that wrote to me or replied to my inquiry were well worth my time, thoughs, and efforts. | |

Posted: 1/14/2007 9:40:19 AM | @ 1ForU2Keep,
Yea, I have had a lot of responses to my profile. And indeed, I did write it upon a whim of the moment, and it seems that people do relate to Forrest. I dont have that gift of fancy words, so I used something that is if revelance and protrayed that instead.
I took the time to take a look at your profile, (not that I am interested or anything, lol). But, I think it was a well written profile that any MAN can understand and have an understanding of who you are, but do women get it? I dunno.
I do have a good understanding of how men talk, but women have a different "language" dont you agree? I dont have an answer, but the problem is there.
I am not being critical with you my friend, just trying to share notes is all.
And yes, I agree with your comments regarding internet junkies. I think a LOT of people here are not serious, and they take it as a video game, and want to see who will score, just to raise that ero of theirs.
I REALLY wonder those who are here and married, they have hardly nothing on in their pictures, and are just looking for "friends". | |

Posted: 1/14/2007 12:45:32 PM | I want to shed a little light on a couple of things, guys, then MAYBE I'll call a "whaaa-mbulance" for you.
Many women here have been forced to leave abusive and dangerous relationships, and there are a few whose life partner died. Don't assume that they are ALL internet junkies and gameplayers who never were in a real relationship. In fact you contradict yourself at one point; if these women you speak so disparagingly of, never were in a "real" relationship, how would they have acquired the "baggage" you so greatly fear??
Guys, it's a tough market, and unfortunately the proliferation, and growing mainstream acceptance of internet dating, does unfortunately create an atmosphere of "shopping always for the better deal", for BOTH genders. It's just one of the hazards that exist.
And let me say it one more time again, just because a woman signs up to an online dating site doesn't not mean she's desperate to date anything with testicles,and has forsworn her right to say "thanks, but no thanks", or just not answer your email if she feels that you just aren't her type. Unfortunately there is a segment of internet daters who will answer a "no thanks" email, NO MATTER HOW POLITELY WORDED, with an email or IM filled with rudeness and insults. Why open yourself up for that kind of BS?
I can only suggest that, if you think internet dating sucks, go back to the clubs and bars. I mean that sincerely, and I hope that people aren't depending TOTALLY on this or any other internet dating site as their ONLY means of getting out there and meeting people!

Posted: 1/14/2007 1:25:35 PM | | Well, man I tell you, this is a really weird state. Don't get me wrong, I've found some of the nicest folks in the world here. The women here are awsome. For some reasons though it seems as though the wheel has just been discovered here and some folks are still playing catch-up. I know a guy that still has a beta video player. Don't give up on the Michiganders that don't answer. I moved here from Chicago and had to learn a new way of doing things all over again. Hang in there bro, the fact that you even put the question out there says a lot about your abiblity to reach out to others. Some woman out from Michigan will see that and will be all over your IM's, e-mails and maybe you too. | |

Posted: 1/14/2007 6:12:39 PM | Guys, if a woman/anyone is turned off by a mis-spelling, then they are not worth it.
Cindy, good words written. I cant dispute any of it really.
I agree, internet dating is just a game. But for me, I dont care to be a bar fly anymore, nor drive home hammered at the risk of spending the night in jail.
Good love is indeed harder to find, I feel that this is magnified in the metro Deroit area. Seems a lot of people have lost true values. | |
