| Are you contacting guys 1/2 as much as we contact you?
Posted: 7/26/2009 6:56:45 PM | | I'm pretty damn sure we do most of the initial contacting, but I'm curious to how many women are making initial contact. I'm sure this is alredy on 1000 forums, although I haven't read many. I'm very inexperienced on online dating and proper online dating etiquette. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 7:02:55 PM | | You're right, I don't contact half the guys that contact me. But when someone's profile is hilarious or incredibly unique, I do drop them a note. This happens maybe once or twice a month, if even that much. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 7:06:31 PM | | I hardly contact guys because I have found (generally speaking) that men are very often offended and rude when approached by a woman they did not want to be approached by. I think this site is mostly for men to message women whom they are interested in. I know if a guy is interested in me he will want to let me know that by messaging me. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 7:17:11 PM | Mixed reviews. I basically have the same opinion as The BB, but I will occassionally email a guy who has an interesting post in the forums or who has a great profile, etc.
There has been quite a few threads about who does the initial contacting, and I have personally found that most men do not receive an email well from a woman. JMO.
If there is a guy I have strong interest in, I will email him. I am of the mindset that if
he's not open-minded about it, and unwilling to see if we may get along well, then it doesn't matter anyway (what he thinks about me sending him an email). | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 8:40:03 PM | I wish ladies would do first contact. Just so they know, ladies, there are guys on here who love it when women make first contact. I don't write messages to half of the profiles I find attractive or unique only because I figure if they see I saw their profile, and find me as attractive as I find them, then they will contact me. I can see the paradox inherent with my assumptions, but I wish ladies would take the first step sometimes.  | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 8:48:22 PM | | I don't really contact anyone as I'm too lazy and I usually just check my messages, rather than look through matches and so on. However, when i first joined I use to contact guys. Few didn't write back but the ones that did were just as interested as guys that contact me. I was the one that contacted my ex boyfriend from here, otherwise I'd never have met him as he waits for girls to contact him ... who knows how many other guys do that ... am I missing my soulmate from my laziness? | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 8:59:17 PM | I never make first contact for serious interest.
Anytime I hope to have a longterm relationship, it would be from a guy contacting me first. Mostly because I want to be sure that he was interested/attracted to me.
Of course right now my profile is hidden so I am not actively looking, but if I was looking that is how I would feel about it. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 9:16:41 PM | | I initiate contact sometimes because I keep my profile hidden. I hate having to tell people that I'm not interested in them, it makes me feel like a schmuck. So it's easier for me to pick out guys who can put together a profile without major typos or any references to their evil demoness ex-girlfriends and contact them. I don't mind getting rejected, since no one has ever broke up with me in real life and my ego can take it. Also, I like having pictures of myself in costume because I'm proud of my sewing, but they get the wrong kind of attention. | |
