Absolutely not..........but on the topic of what women do that turn most men off...
I won't say 'not replying" because I understand that if she doesn't see a physical attraction , she may consider it a waste of everyone's time or be one of the women on here who get way too much mail to reply to those she's not interested in....No, what turns me off is getting this reply " I just met someone and I'm going to see how that goes" and then continue to run their profile.....I'd much rather hear "thanks but I'm not interested" or there is the 'no reply' route........

I think it's extremely flattering, plus it gets a relationship going in the right direction a bit faster in my mind.

Only if she's a psycho, married/involved or some woman old enough to be my grandma looking for a younger man to paw and grope at.

I think it shows a guy that she knows what she wants and she's going after it. For me, I like a confidant woman that doesn't have a problem making the first move. Some guys might be uncomfortable with this (for some reason, some guys are attracted to women who have no opinion and do what they are told, I don't understand the attraction myself).

This is good information to know, and thank you gentlemen. See, if we don't ask, that's one more thing we don't understand about guys, right?
I'm okay with emailing someone, but in real life it would be something I couldn't do. The net makes this a little bit easier for us. Yeah, I know, guys have been doing this forever....lol...I will say most of you have a lot of guts for getting the courage up to do this.

I like it when they make first contact. There are more options for the ladies here and when they make that initial move it shows interest.

In my opinion it makes it much easier if the woman breaks the ice first that way you know were she stands. By the way ladies we don't bite at least I don't.

i think it is great that a woman in this day and age who feels as strongly as you to make a first contact, why not, you never know unless you try..you could be letting something good get away because yournot sure if it is the "proper" thing to do..ask away..

Just curious how men feel about women making the first contact.

A woman making the first contact is great! It's always nice to have someone appreciate your profile and make the first move.

I agree,It is nice to be contacted by a woman.It takes a lot of the guesswork out of the whole deal.

I would prefer it since most women probably get hundreds of emails a day and there are too many to return..I'm actually a bit discouraged since I have been on this site. Id like to think there is someone out there that would fit into my life well.

Not at all, i prefer, for a variety of reasons
1) never been a chaser or persuer
2) in regular conversations, i rarely start them, i hear then when i know about something or feel interested in what i hear, i'll jump in; so approaching has always been a lil barrier for me
3) life's weird, i just kinda fell into relationships - dont know how normal/common that is out there, so my dating, approaching skills etc are really lacking

It would not put me off. Just it has hardly ever happened. I admire you for taking the first step.

To me its pretty simple. If you are attracted to someone and you would like to get to know them better than approach them. That person could be thinking the same thing about you. Through fear I think we miss many opportunites in life. I have approached woman and chatted with them and I have had it reversed. One such contact developed into a great friendship to this day. So if your a women why not say Hi. I think the key is for male or female go in with no expectations if its no, its no and its ok. Be self confident in who you are and don't take the rejection as personal.

What the hell is this forum about?




Does the word "Title" help any???



J/K!!





As for the title per say, I have answered pereviously, but shall again...

Heck NO!! I think a woman making first contact shows her relationship with her intuition and desire, and thus I reciprocate accordingly. Kind of an ego boost, if you will.

But only a small boost, for the ego needn't be boosted, just awakened!!



I find that, a woman making first contact shows her comfort level with herself, as well as society unknown. I also find that I am intrigued, and hold high respect for a woman making the first move. For by doing so, she places trust and tender inquisition in me, and for that, I again reciprocate, and try to make the best.

God Bless,
Scott.

I've made several contacts, but I MUCH PREFER a man who makes the initial winks/emails. I've discovered that a majority of men, not all, but a chunk, have challenges in approaching a lady. Perhaps it's the "possibility" of getting turned down, and when a woman makes that first contact, it opens the window for the positive "possibilities."

As shared, I prefer the man to make the first approach--shows me he is confident, interested, and values communication...well, initially. This is not saying that the opposite is always true, but based on my dating experiences, from "real world" gents to online fellows, the initial contact by men is more appealing to me and those relationships have had more stability, passion, etc.
