How do I get a response?
Posted: 7/8/2009 9:27:53 AM
So, I've emailed about 15 girls, and I ALWAYS include stuff about their profile, ask a few simple questions and use proper grammar. I've received ONE response, and most just read and delete it. Is there anything I can do about not getting a response, or am I just screwed on this site?

Be more attractive to the people you contact? Just a wild guess.

Can you give us an idea of what questions you are sending out?

mentioning things on their profiles, are not always the key to getting a response.

I honestly don't know what to say I usually just ask questions based on what they like.. Like say they say they like movies, but don't include a genre I'll ask same with music maybe what sports teams they like. I really just don't know what to say, and I don't get why they don't respond I'm certainly not hideous nor am I sending messages like "h3y sexI wAnNa scr3w sometime" I send intelligent coherent messages.

You need a profile review. Your picture isn't good, try to find others to use. I know my own isn't the greatest, I'm working on that, too.

Try to think outside your little box. It is not always about what you did or didn't do right!

An individual (man or woman) will respond to someone they are interested in. You have to understand that thier interest will depend on several factors that are beyond your control for example location, most women want someone that they can actually spend time with in person regularly. If you are just looking to have online conversations with women then you have to accept the fact that some women would perfer to have interactions with men in person, then spend all day talking to guys online, some us are a little more 3-D than others.

I would definitely recommend a profile review.

Your main photo isn't cutting the mustard. Plus, you only have ONE photo up, and it's of you in a hat.

If all you are interested in is getting a response from women, send me a mail, I will tell you how. I won't post it publicly.

It might be ok that you like hats, but in the only photo you have, the hat you're wearing is hiding your eyes. The most important part of a man to see (contrary to what many men believe) is their eyes. Women love to see eyes (as much as a man loves to see a woman's eyes).

For a profile review, go back into ALL FORUMS and look for PROFILE REVIEWS. Post a new thread in there asking for a profile review. Lots of good advice to be had and the replies aren't limited to 20 as they are here.

Oy vey.

So you want a response? Would any response do?

"Thanks for writing. I hate your stupid hat. Leave me alone loser!".

How's that? It's a response right? Be careful what you ask for.

Okay, no guesswork this time.

You need to be more attractive to the people you contact.

Your opinion of yourself does not matter in this instance. The person you are contacting will decide whether or not they find you attractive.

The first rule of thumb, and this may seem like common sense, but you actually have to stay a memeber to get a response. The op looks like he has left, thus guaranteeing himself zero responses.

Be attractive to the woman you contact.
Send her a message she finds interesting and wants to respond to.
Have a profile that's interesting to read and is free of any dealbreakers she might have.

Enjoy!

I've been having the same problem, only my eyes aren't covered and I think I have a decent profile as to who I am and what I'm looking for. I'm sure there is a room for much improvement, so again it must be the questions I'm asking. An I thought this was gonna be easy /sigh

Nothing that has any value is easy, nor should it be. You have to be patient and true to yourself... it is easy to jump into relationships, but it is a whole lot harder to get out of them if you find out you made a wrong choice. Take your time, make some friends, relax and have fun! Sure you may never find the right one for you on here potentially, but you will grow and learn from the interations you will have with others. Too many times we look for short term gains and forget about the long term benefits of just learning about yourself from others you interact with.

My suggestion is put many pictures up showing the different sides of you and just be honest to yourself by being honest to everyone else. Guys are expected to make the first contact and I usually just say I read their profile and looked at their pictures and wanted to say Hi, and then invite them to check out your profile and pictures and ask them to comment...

Many valid points patriot, so the only thing I really see for me is being patient.... gotta be more patient. I see that the women I send mail to read it and dont delete them.
