I wish females would try to make a first move. I, myself get tired i send out countlessly emails with no replies. It is 2007 ladies, not 1907.

It's a sign of confidence and assertiveness. Quite a turn on.

Never! Actually, I'm a bit on the shy side (and also not very creative when I write emails), so women making first contact is fine by me and even encouraged.

As long as she's a REAL person, that is....

I have no problems talking to strangers, people either like you or they don't.
I find that a woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it to be kind of sexy.
But then, sitting around here waiting for that to happen to you- you might be here for a while. There is just too much product on the shelves.

Hmm well I have no qualms about sending a message to someone. I the time I've been here I have made some good friends initiated by my dropping off a note and by being contacted, and hope to make a lot more and maybe one day in the future meet someone special, who knows :-)
However I've got to say (and will then retreat very quickly lol) it is usually to someone who has something to say that I can relate to and/or has something interesting to say on their profile - kind of difficult to initiate a conversation or keep one going if there is no real info on it lol
As for a man being put off by a woman making first contact? (oh best be careful here or I might fall into a trekkie moment lol) why should he be? If it were off line, at work or in the gym etc, would he be likely to refuse to chat face to face ?!

Well, I heard people say the movie Contact was kinda lame.
I saw it recently and thought it was fun. I like Jodie Foster too.
So I think women making first contact is a-okay.
Too bad we never saw the alien's faces.

Total turn on for me. I love when a woman makes first contact with me and I like when a woman can make plans for a date. I hardly ever make first contact with a woman, it's just not me. It's part of me liking a woman to take charge period.

I have no problems with a woman making first contact.

I do have problems with them making contact, but having nothing to say. :)

I love when a lady makes the first move, it tells me she is strong and knows what she wants in a man. This is 2007 and life is to short to wait for the other person to make a move.

I love it when the woman makes the first move. It removes the anxiety, plus it means that they are real, and that they are here for a purpose. When I send an email to a lady that never replies, I feel like there is something very wrong with me. I am not here just for sex, I like to make new friends of all types.

Not at all.In this day and age a woman is an equal in all respects to a man.This should be no different when it comes to dating sites.If a woman wants to contact a man then by all means she should do it.Of course she has to take into consideration that she will be rejected.That is the risk involved.You can never tell and nothing is guaranteed in matters of the heart. However the reward can be great especially if you are happy at the end of it all. Today i was contacted by a female member.She was not what i was looking for but i was very flattered that she made initial contact.I respect that immensely and i told her that i hope she finds someone.I truly meant it because when it comes down to it we are all human beings with needs and feelings.We are all in this for the same reason regardless of gender. I would not be concerned with the men who are not receptive to you making the initial contact.That is their loss.Please do not let it deter you from doing it again.Eventually it will delight a guy like me to see a message awaiting them in their mail.

yes Already...it turns me right off!! I hate the attention I get when women make moves... I especially hate it when they compliment me and what really gets my goat is when they show interest in the things that interest me!!! Why can't women just be snobby and obnoxious... I guess in a perfect world...

Being proactive and not afraid to persue what you want, is an astoundingly attractive quality. Even if it's someone I wouldn't be interested in romantically, it still makes them more attractive as a person to know that they aren't a coward.

Offcourse not!! Why should that be a turn off?. I always welcome a lady to e-mail me first and it doesn't matter either way to me. It's about the two people involved and not about who messages someone first. As long as the two people can talk and want to get to know eachother more, then that is what is important.!!

I love when a woman makes that first contact. More Woman should. it shows that she is a go getter. It should also give the woman that much more feeling of empowerment!
