No.
A woman contacting me most certainly does not turn me off.
I admire that kind of directness.

I see all the guys in this posting say they like it when a girl makes the first move, either by e-mail or in person. I have found that not to be entirly true. I have sent a few emails and either they just don't respond or they read and delete. It's either i'm a troll or they are just jerks. I respond to everyone, either i say i'm not interested or i say i am. but either way i always respond. So if you guys like it when a girl makes the first move why am i getting "read and deleted"

Ladyleo37, the same for men, we contact women and they do not respond, they read and delete. No response is a response to a lot of people on here. I've learned that the quick way. I've maybe sent 11 emails in the short time I been here, I've got two responses!! Two out of 11.. I been a member less then a week, can you as a woman explain that? Neither can we (men) explain why you have got little responses, I wish people would respond and say "not interested" When they make first contact I do respond and tell them what's going on.. I'm more man then that, I have no problem speaking what I feel.

Sweetie, I can't imagine no one responding to you. You are HOT!!!! But like you i can't say why women do not respond to your e-mails. Like i said i always respond. Only thing i can say is it just shows you that, that wasn't a person that you want to get to know. I guess i should take my own advise

You're little girl is very cute too..

Come to Texas baby, there are wayyyyyy to many blue eyed people.. Im Italian so no blue here.. But thats another subject lol... On the same subject line. I can't figure out why a guy who starts to talk to you but then for no reason, stops. but then weeks later e-mails you again. I've had that happen a few times. He seems interested but then drops off the face of the earth. Then all of a sudden, he's back. Can anyone tell me a reason for this?

It's about the only way I'm going to ever speak to her, 'cause I don't write ANYBODY........ Good for her if she actually has some initiative........

No, I actually prefer if they make the first contact then you can gauge their interest level. I always find it amazing that the majority of women ask that you write a personal note to initiate contact and then if they don't like your profile or pics don't at least right a thanks but no thanks note. I think in any case if someone sends you a note you should at the very least say no thanks back......In any case, getting back to your point, no i don't think it is a turn off if a women makes the first contact. Hope this helps! Good luck :)

Women....pay close atention........ ^^^^^ The above 2 posts........ If you are willing to write, we know you're interested! Otherwise..( Speaking STRICTLY for myself....) I could care less....... This site is free, and beyond getting to vent opinions in the forums, I expect to receive nothing from this site..... "You get what you pay for"........ I Ain't paying.......... I'm not asking.........

hittman ...You think cool yet you realize alot of men think we are desperate if we do make the first contact. Its a no win situation at times.

I think it's just fine, and in the long run will help her make a stronger impression on me. I also feel very complimented by it.

It has never bothered me. Most of the women I have dated long term have actually approaced me first.

Absolutely not, I welcome it.

I wish all women would wake up and take an active rather than passive role in match finding. I wonder how many women sit there wishing I would ask them. I hate to feel like I'm a bother to somebody so it's very difficult for me to approach somebody cold call. If they are in a bar and tapping their toe, or moving to the music, I think they want to dance, and I have no problem, but busy buying stuff in the grocery and it's real difficult.

I don't think it really matters. Both sexes are now equal in society. In fact, if a woman make the first contact, I am more attracted to them than when I make the first contact.

No. I wish more women would make the first contact. The odds of a man meeting someone here would be much higher if a woman makes the first contact because at least he knows she has some interest in him. Unless she was really unattractive, had little common interests, or had a poor profile, I would at least exchange some emails with her to find out more about her.

i think it should be thought of as awesome! For some reason though, it seems to me also that it really isn't that awesome to guys. Unfortunately for me i like to make contact as i read a profile i like and/or am drawn physically to someone - but apparently it is a turn off to show interest.

It doesn't bother me. I'd also ignore the ideas about pictures having an effect, that only works with the vain as a point of contact, you could always show a picture after you've chatted. It also depends on the guys you're trying to contact.

Thanks for telling it how it is. It's no secret, at least to me.
