| Sending a gift?
Posted: 11/1/2009 6:49:09 AM | | I just want to ask the ladys, do you respond to more guys that send you gifts or to ones with great letters? I have went back and e-mail girls that I did not send a gift the first time and sent one the second time and got a response. Is sending a gift that big of a deal breaker to you to respond to someone? Just wondering. Thanks | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 6:59:23 AM | | The gift is sweet, but it's the context of the email that is going to determine whether or not I respond. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:02:22 AM | | I understand that thaddal, but I was just wondering why this gift would make such a big difference. The gift shows that you are very interested, but I would rather have a date and be sitting on the beach with a glass of wine with her other than sending some pic! | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:04:10 AM | | Thanks Fenway, but I am with you it should be about what the context of the e-mail, but for some reason you girls like gifts! I guess? Maybe just some, shows more interest maybe? | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:22:58 AM | | Honestly I could care less if someone sends me one of the gifts...it doesn't make me feel that the persons interest is any greater. If someone wants to show me their level of interest, they should ask questions and show a genuine interest in getting to know me as a person. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:53:45 AM | I send gifts almost exclusively to my friends on here. Never contacting a new female. I think that is a cheesy way to send a first contact. And the roses are even worse.

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:16:02 AM | | You are kidding, right? I will tell you what impresses me. Or should I say what WOULD impress me. Is if just ONE of these actual meeting, the man who I meet actually looks like his photos, and is not 50 pounds heavier than he said to be, and was "real" as in did not tell a bunch of BS in his profile. Please, sending a virtual gift???? WTF???? Yeah, some guy sends me a fak azz rose he HAS to be real. lmfao I need a drink; omg it is not even noon. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:25:05 AM | | That is just as bad as a copied/pasted message and cuz ya might be expecting something in return, like a gift or a message. Won't get either or. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:44:04 AM | No you won't impress with a virtual gift.
I use them for my friends also. Yeah, give me someone who actually read my profile..that would be a gift.
Save your points..

Posted: 11/1/2009 8:59:13 AM | | Thanks for all your comments, I mean it is just wierd that the girls that didnt respond the first time did after I sent a gift the second time! I agree its cheesy, but I guess it works sometimes? | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 9:03:48 AM | | I figure if you've gone and wasted some of your points on me, the least I can say is "thank you"... and sometimes, that's all I say. It's manners, not interest. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 9:24:25 AM | I see a gift in an initial e-mail as pressure to get me to respond, which in the end is sort of a turn off....
I might respond, but a gift won't make any difference in the amount of interest I have; the pics/profile/message does. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 10:04:43 AM | | I don't like the gifts, they're too cheesy, put a sour taste on it all. If the gifts were fun and funny, I'd enjoy that. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 10:13:06 AM | If someone sends me a gift in the first message, I admit, I am more likely to respond.
Not out of interest but because it's such a desperate manoeuvre that I'd suspect he fell into the category of POFers who throw a hissy fit when someone read/deletes. Individuals that fragile are already on the edge. I don't want to be responsible for pushing them over. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 10:22:05 AM | The only gift that matters to me is a thoughtful, well-written note.
By the way, it's LADIES, not ladys. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 10:29:30 AM | I am not impressed by pixels. I do agree with what was said about there being a bit of pressure to respond when one is sent. I guess it is just the manners that my grandma taught me. I feel I need to say thank you.
I would be impressed if a guy actually showed up. My last three meets stood me up. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 10:50:19 AM | In reply to candid, if you are acuatually serious and join pof, it won't cost you anything to send a gift! That seems to be the problem here, not to many serious people here!
From what I can see, alot of players, yea you girls. You think guys are bad, you girls are the worst here!!! | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 5:34:16 PM | I, personally, feel the gifts here are cheesy and the roses even less cool.
A great message from an interesting profile wins every time for me.
I did however, recieve a rose once . With a message, could the sender meet me for coffee or a drink, at my earliest convience, to thumb wrestle for one of my roses?
Have to admit that one caught my attention   | |
