| Does a women making the first contact turn you off?
Posted: 1/19/2006 9:42:44 AM | Just curious how men feel about women making the first contact. Is it a turn off? Does it make the female appear pushy? In my experience men that I make the initial contact with will sometimes reply some times not.
In this day and age I thought men would be more accepting of a women making the first contact. That does not appear to be the case.
Your thoughts? | |

I like to feel desirable as much as the woman does, and that is a good first step to allowing that process to begin. | |

Well, what I actually mean is...it would never put me off, as it hasn't happened yet 
I'm a believer in equality, and also in "Life's too short" - If you see something you like, go for it. | |

You are very wrong in assuming that a contact was made for the purpose of "hooking up". I enjoy talking with people from all walks of life and read profiles from all over the country. If I see a pic of a beautiful child sitting on dad's lap I may just email them to say how beautiful their child is. Or a man who has served in the armed forces...I may email him to thank him for his service to this Great Country.
Just because a women initiates an email does not mean she is interested in anything other than conversation. By your response I can see that some men do feel that way. Thanks for answering my question. | |

Posted: 1/19/2006 11:08:29 AM | | In this day in age I don't beleive it matters who contacts whom. It's the same old story why they don't reply. Too many emails to respond to everyone or just plain rude. Always check your sent msg. folder. It's happened a couple of times to me where I wrote an email and it must have gone to Never Never Land because it wasn't in the sent folder. | |

Posted: 1/19/2006 1:53:28 PM | | Thats the problem, visual only... If they would also read a profile, that would be soo nice. I find I'm being asked questions that are right there in my profile.....A person may look like a million bucks but have the personality of a door knob. Both men and women. | |

I am available to be contacted by any woman who has something good in store for me. But I won't be contacting anyone myself. I have yet to see any women here who seem like they couldn't do better. | |

I am a little curious though, why are you so bitter? Your responses to others are rather curt. You come off as talking down to everyone else. Not all women are "beneath you" as your profile tends to indicate. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 7:08:05 AM | | I contact them and I have been contacted by others. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. Only twice have I been contacted for inappropriate things. And they were young and foolish. I do read the profiles. Some of the people I conact have no pic up, so you have to read the profile. Others do have pics, but that is not what determines whether or not I will make contact. For me there has to be substance, and I let my instincts guide me. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 8:15:53 AM | I agree srv4ever. I've been contacted by women and when I look at their profile I wonder what in the heck we have in common!
I've also been contacted only 'cause the golden retriever is cute! That is fine. It gives an excuse to start up a conversation, especially as I'm up for any conversation on dogs. | |

Posted: 1/20/2006 8:45:00 AM | I personally find it refreshing when a woman makes first contact. It is 2006, not 1952.
I think it shows a woman is assertive, has self confidence and is willing to make decisions. All qualities which I think are attractive in a woman. | |
