| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 7:42:36 AM | i mostly recieve one line or just a few words in messages from women.
often they are not even questions but i still send a message back to them .
no wonder some guys get all nasty when some women leave responding for a few days just to test or see how the guy reacts.
such silly games being played every single day. | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 7:52:18 AM | | I’m sure I speak for many of the guys on here who send messages out - in every case it is a triumph of optimism over experience ................................................................ | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 7:54:37 AM | ZZzzzzzzz this has been discussed so many times... and it's turning into a self pity of thread of "it's only polite to reply to my messages". Boo fackin hoo... why do men get so pissy about it? Move on.
I guess guys get a bit insular stuck in front of the old laptop, maybe like that irrational anger that comes over people who road rage when in their confines of there own car! "Laprage"
Actually its just rejection, on tinternet or in real life is hard to take perceived or otherwise | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 8:06:09 AM | If I see someone I like the look of or I like something in their profile I'll message them, if I get read/deleted, no big deal. I usually reply to my messages unless its something along the lines of "hey hun your hot" or " here's my number/msn" Yes I know I have a photo with my boobs hanging out, it just proves to me how fickle men are, I usually get 1 message a day if I'm lucky, at the moment I'm inundated! Most of them one liners! | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 8:08:19 AM | Relevance mainly. If I look at someone's profile, like the look of them, like what they've written but they're looking for different things from me, are out of what I would consider my age range or they're too far away, I don't write to them. What would I say? 'Hi, I like the look of you but I'm not who you're looking for', What's the point?
If they're profile says they're looking for friendship I may though, you can't have too many friends.

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 8:09:35 AM | I would message someone on here based on an interesting photo combined with an interesting profile. We all look for different things. The photo is the immediate thing, then the profile would have to detail his interests or hobbies. Then it would have to be the wording, with at least basic spelling and grammer. Then I would want to know a few things about that person, and would want to see humour in there too. Basically, for me it is a mixture of a lot of things. I must admit I am selective, but because POF is only another means for me of meeting someone, that is why.
If someone takes the trouble to read my profile and message me I would reply, and if I don't think we are compatable based on his profile, for one reason or another, I would reply along tactful lines such as, "thanks for reading my profile - sorry, though, and I wish you all the best of luck on here." That is my standard reply. I would not say, "thanks, but no thanks," or "I am not interested," because I think that is rude.

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 8:26:26 AM | For me, off the bat...is age, location & height. LOL Then I read what they have to say. I can't seem to get past a long profile that has run on sentences with no paragraphs. These things bring me right out or keep me moving down their page.
I like guys who can communicate a personality, sense of humor, or just have an interesting way of looking at life. Interests is another plumline. Then go from there. | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 8:54:57 AM | | I will read the whole profile if my first scan of it suggests it's going to be half-way intelligible. There should, at least, be no text-speak whatsoever. And may even check out some of her forum posts, if the "Last 5 Forum Posts" part at the bottom has some interesting thread titles. By then I may decide to send a message, but usually I won't... I'm a touch picky -- notwithstanding the fact that I'm nearly past it -- and would really like there to be at least three shared interests in common! | |

NO one said that, i said if i can't always reply right away i.e. out of time off to do something else, or want to think about my reply, I might reply a few hrs later if in the meantime i get a stroppy messaging demanding to know why i didn't reply or insulting me for not replying (before i've had chance too) then stuff them, you seem to think all women here play games and "oh dear us poor men" with that attitude i'd be surprised if anyone ever replies to you to be honest, quit whining and painting all women as the bad guys, its certainly not enticing to someone reading it. | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 9:28:06 AM | I always read profiles to say if anything strikes a chord! (not guitar playing) And I respond to evry message.... even if its only "thanks.. good luck in your search!"
And if a person dosen't respond to my messages OH well Ce la Vie! | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 3:03:45 PM | 1. Dating context: * I liked their picture(s). * I read their profile and they (a) don't smoke, (b) can spell, understand grammar and don't use text speak or too many irritating smilies , (c) live within a reasonable distance, (d) appear to have some common or similar interests, (e) meet whatever other criteria I'm using at the time.
2. Non-dating context: * Something about them interests me or made me laugh.
3. They emailed me first: * In my dreams! | |

| What makes you message someone on here? Posted: 1/21/2008 3:11:17 PM | Hey I look at the profile and read it but, its the picture that attracts my attention first, and the thing that makes me send a mail is the glimmer of hope that somebody maybe just cant be doing with the hassle of searching for a compatible profile.
You never know maybe oneday somebody who I find attractive might think the same and mail me lol ASIF
