| another question Posted: 8/27/2009 7:08:26 PM | | lets say i check out someone i would like to get to know. how do i send a good message. do i talk about myself or them or both. stupid i know but i'm not as good on the keyboard as i am in person. so far i've mostly told them a little about myself and maybe a question about them. so far i have zero responses. | |

| another question Posted: 8/27/2009 7:16:02 PM | I usually found my best chance at a response came when I sent a message with a "unique" subject line pertaining to something in their profile (rather than just "hi" or "hello"). In the body of my email, I'd mention something that I found interesting in their profile and asked them a question about it or themselves so they have something to respond to...
Also, most people can spot a message from someone who hasn't read their profile... So putting a little time and effort into a message definitely works... | |

Do not attempt humor, or 'busting' or teasing someone. It is a rare person that can pull it off and most of the time you will come of sounding like a jackass and not only get your email deleted but blocked as well.

| another question Posted: 8/27/2009 7:21:15 PM | Well, it is true, if you are the least bit concerned with what a woman thinks of you, then by all means, don't risk coming across as a jackass.
guys like me on the other hand, I don't really care. If a woman isn't interested to begin with, what do I care what they think of me? I may as well have fun anyway. | |

| another question Posted: 8/27/2009 7:22:43 PM | Not to mention that any woman without a sense of humor isn't invited to my world anyways...
It's all about what "type" of things you want in a woman. | |
