What makes a good introductory email: Male to Female
Posted: 1/22/2006 7:18:38 PM
I have seen the types of emails ladies receive on this site, only this site, since I have a friend on this site willing to show me her emails (ladies please confirm or denounce what I am saying). About 75% of the emails my lady friend receives are very forward, talking about what they expect for breakfast the next morning.
The emails I have written to meet ladies, start with communication and find out if we have any common interests, something to build on and out of 20 emails sent, I've received 2 replys. So the question is "What makes a good introductory email: Male to Female".
Should I be forward or nice, I am a gentleman looking for a lady.

I would like to add, since my friend has blocked the "Forward Males" she has begun to see some nicer class of people.
So both the ladies and men, Keep trying, tell a little about yourself and ask a question.
We are here to meet someone who can make our lives more interesting and have fun with/not at their expence.

Just be yourself. No one can tell you you're doing it wrong.

well as can be expected, I've had my share of the opening line in emails as...NICE ASS.....the real funny thing is they all think they are the only ones that thought of that..lol


Best thing I can say is be respectful....would you go up to a woman you don't know in a public place and say rude things?...If you do...I bet you go home alone alot..or just with really desparate or drunk women! If that's what you're looking for...sure keep up the talk in an email, you'll probably do just as well as you do in real life!

For starters...read the profile!! Don't be emailing if she asked you not to, you're not the special!! If she says she's here for the forums..join the forums and meet her that way.

like the above post says...be yourself, it's easy in this format to take on a persona that's not really you...but remember eventually we'll find out!

I guess I'm just happy to hear that I'm doing the right thing by being myself.
Glad to hear I don't need to be a jerk to get a lady to chat/write me.
Thanks

I tend to respond to emails that are the simple hello/good day type.. short & sweet with a genuine thought attached :)

Since it's just an example of the type of emails I would respond to... yeah that's the idea. Although saying have a good day goes along way too.

Hey Dating Dave
Well I would suggest honesty and always be your self ..
I do a lot of sending but get very few replies but I dont fret ...because I know they were not interested in Either what I am seeking or they feel I am not what they would want to be seen with ....So I feel they are the ones missing out on what I have to offer because they either judged me because of my looks or because they dont see themselves with a large woman... whatever the case may be ... when the one that is actually honest with themselves about seeking friends and see where it goes from there ...... thats the one that will reply...
As to approach... I always say " if I might be someone you feel you would like to get to know then be sure and email me or write me in yahoo " and I let it go from there //

Sometimes they do sometimes they don't .. I don't stress ,worry or want any drama so ... I enjoy life, we never know how long we have to spend it here on earth...so enjoy every moment ....

Be your self

Creamy

I am quicker to respond to emails that have thoughtful comments regarding my profile... such as a specific shared interest.

The ones with the phone # and hey baby your're hot just get deleted.....
