I'll keep my answer here to a generalization.....no actual quotes...

what catches my eye are when they mention something from my profile..&..say they are interested in getting to know me because of my interests. or because of something I've said in the forums.

k - I lied......one actual quote...but he deserves it....
"I've got 8 inches of perfection with your name on it".......
yes, it got him a response....but probably not the one he was hoping on...

It's not my intention to encourage gossip. I've actually encouraged people not to theorize about why some messages worked and why others didn't.


Also, I think in a forum people are going to post whatever they wish - I shouldn't have to warn people on here of concerns that they would already be aware of, or that are actually my own concerns - besides everyone here is an adult and will post whatever they want and have enough maturity, I would think, to not do things they don't want to do.


My intention is not to tempt people into gossip or into smearing others - I'm hoping this is clear from the initial post and from the sprit of the messages that flowed from it.

I don't think people here are so immature that I need to list a myriad of rules for a completely public posting. But if all of you agree that I should, then maybe I should draft up some rules and regulations?

MsMicki: "I've got 8 inches of perfection with your name on it".......


LMAO



Rule Number One: No laughing. Unless it's very funny.

Rule Number Two: Whether something is very funny rather than just merely funny will be decided on clear majority of at least 5 out of 6 posters on this thread.

Rule number Three: The OP cannot vote with respect to Rule Number Two.

one does have to wonder if I had responded in the "size" thread differently....if I would have gotten the same message but with a different number?

It often doesn't matter what a man states on his message. Many women won't respond if they don't like the man's pic.

ahaha the one time i can think of was when I added someone as a favorite and they sent me a message asking me why i had done that but sent no message... It was cause i couldn't think of anything at the time and the add to faves was there to remind me to send a message. That night had to have been the best conversation I ever had... I think it was around 5 or 6 hours long :P

Good suggestion Grey. I've posted some of the stupidest and most arrogant emails as examples of what NOT to say; but they still keep coming! I was recently BLASTED as rude and several other adjectives for deleting email from a guy who has NO picture posted, his interests were totally opposite of mine, yet for some reason he felt compelled to email me with his phone number and a demand that I call him. Geeee, wonder why I would delete an email like that!

I've tried a nicer approach too. Like writing back and thanking them for their interest, but politely pointing out that our interests are totally incompatible. Guess what??? EVERY time....their response is the same: "Hey, I really love all those things too!" It leaves me wondering, should I write back and say......"well shoot baby, I wasn't interested in you when I just thought we had nothing in common, but now that I see you're a liar who will say anything to get a date...we need to hook up!"

What really gets me is that the ones who whine the most about being deleted are those who refuse to post a picture. THEY wouldn't dream of emailing someone who didn't have a pic, yet they expect a response! Can we spell S-T-U-P-I-D?

Say Hello. Introduce yourself and a little about who you are and why you are writing. Point out a part of her profile that you think there is common ground. Be respectful.

I dont know, ive written a few emails, mostly commenting on things I read in there profile, and didnt get a response at all. Granted, my profile is a little hateful of the dating scene, but it sums up everything I want/am looking for in a woman.

I would have even taken a "F OFF loser!!" at this point.
