| Praise for take-charge women!
Posted: 10/20/2007 1:09:53 PM | Pardon this late-comer to the thread.
As someone who has been out of the dating game for 11 years, it would be a tremendous relief to have the lady make the first move. The few attempts I've made so far, both here and in the real world don't exactly fill me with confidence, but I'm not one to stay down when I fall. Still, a woman who makes first contact scores big points in my book, regardless if we're a good match or not. | |

Posted: 10/20/2007 8:27:35 PM | | The way I see it, if a guy is uncomfortable with me making the first move just to initiate contact then he's not going to be able to handle dating someone outspoken, aggressive, and independent like me . So if they don't respond then it's probably just as well. | |

Posted: 10/20/2007 11:21:49 PM | | no no oh hell no! I`ve seen it said here a few times but I just don`t bother contacting the girls anymore for the most part they don`t reply or they do out of sheer politeness. I`ve had like two contact me the whole time I`ve been here. my profile is too long or I`m too in touch with my emotions or whatever I suppose when your one of a kind theres no one else of your kind.... the irony .... | |

I make contact with people myself but I think it's nice when someone gets in touch with you first. It may be that you haven't seen their profile before they've looked at yours.
If I check out a woman's profile then see that she's checked mine previously but not sent a message, I assume it's because she didn't like what she saw/read and won't want me to contact her. When she may be shy or just expecting men to contact her first! It'd be a real shame if that were the case. | |

Posted: 10/21/2007 1:02:24 PM | ITS GOOD TO SEE A WOMAN MAKE CONTACT AS SOME MEN ARE QUIET AND WITHDRAWN AND NEED CONTACT I LIVE IN A QUIET PLACE AND IT TOOK A CHANGE OF JOB TO CHANGE ME AND GOOD FRIENDS.
I WENT TO UKRAINE INTERNET DATING AND FOUND THE UKRAINE WOMEN VERY FRIENDLY, PERHAPS LIKE WE ALL SHOULD BE AND SOCIAL I GOT APPROACHED ON THE DANCE FLOOR AND IM 18 STONE ! BY A NICE LADY WE DANCED UNTILL 6.0 IN THE MORNING !.
PERHAPS INSTEAD OF THS BROKEN SOCIETY WE LIVE IN HERE , WHERE THERE IS THIS US AND THEM APPROACH TO DATING MENTALITY.

Posted: 10/22/2007 8:34:37 PM | I think it's kind of cool.
if i send a message it doesn't mean that i'm asking to go out or anything. It means i read your profile and thought we have similar interests and might have something to talk about.
I'm not here to rack up dates, but i don't see the harm in making a few friends while i'm here.
So yeah, i kind of prefer getting that first contact. | |

Posted: 10/23/2007 12:31:30 PM | | I think its a good thing, the whole idea of a social network like this is you get a better chance of meeting your match. If you see someone you think you would really like it would be stupid not to take the first step. If they are old fashioned well then maybe they aren't worth the effort... | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 2:14:56 PM | | I don't see why it would be a turn off to most men. A common complaint on POF is that many women don't make initial contact. Therefore most men should be glad to get more initial emails. | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 7:24:59 PM | | Are we as men really stuck in the caveman era still? I love when women make first contact, But now that I think about it, Men in GENERAL are very simple people and do not like change as much, So I see how some may not feel comfortable with a women making the first approach since many men still have an inflated ego and feel they should still be the one to initiate all things. Pity but it happens | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 9:24:01 PM | I personally make first contact. You can see all the people who look at your page. For some reason they are not writing. I will break that ice but I rarely if ever get a responce. Its just an e mail what can it hurt? | |

That's exactly why I'd like it. To me it just shows that she's a woman who knows what she wants and is strong enough to go after it. Traits I find very attractive in a woman.
So... How many
YES!!! answers do you women have to hear?
