Posted: 7/8/2006 8:03:49 PM | What do you think of just inviting the woman to read your profile on the first contact?
Basically I would only repeat what I have already said in my profile.
I'll admit that when I receive an email,I first go to the profile to decide if I should open the mail.
Pre screening I guess !

Posted: 7/8/2006 8:15:21 PM | When you recieve an email you go and check there profile before you decide to open it? Well, has it worked for you yet? I open and usually respond to my emails before I go and read a profile. Now if I see a picture of someone who I am attracted to then I will read they're profile and see if I fit there criteria to write to them. I think its a wonderful Idea to invite a woman whom you find attractive to view your profile, but I am afriad you will be disappointed waiting for someone to reply in some instances. When I make first contact, I send a simple Hello and that I viewed there profile, let them know that I am interested in getting better acquanted and see where it goes from there. Mind you I dont have much luck that way either, but one day I might find the right one. Best of luck to you on your journey | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 7:45:20 AM | It would help to put a bit more in there than just check out my profile. I've gotten a couple of those. who send a single line that says take a look at my profile. I have and then email them back and say "Okay. Now what?"
I'd suggest at least personalizing it. You could put in there that you looked at her profile, was impressed with what you saw. Thought you might have a few things in common. If she'd like to take a look at your profile and see me maybe the two of you would like to get to know each other better. It doesn't have to be a three page letter, just something a bit more personal.
Just saying Check out my profile is like saying "Yo baby, here I am, come get me" it ain't gonna happen. | |

I am personally a lot more likely to respond to someone who takes the time to read my profile and compose a coherent first message than to a "check out my profile". Give me a reason to do so  | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 10:03:57 AM | | From one gray-haired brother to another, you need to keep a notebook by your computer and start taking notes like I'm doing. You're going to have to be genuine and original and offer something you don't say in your profile to get her interested, especially if she is attractive and receiving lots and lots of attention from our aggressive younger brothers. Since these young sharks probably can swim a little faster and maybe a little longer, we have to use what we've earned: our imagination and creativity. And once a woman tastes that... we've got a chance. | |

Posted: 7/10/2006 10:33:47 AM | I agree...say something personal, but then ask her to check your profile. By habit, I always check a guy's profile after reading his email. Then I respond to the email. But that's just me...everyone is a little different and that's what makes like fun and exciting, right?  | |

On the other hand, why wouldn't you at least reply that you aren't interested & wish the person luck? Surely you don't get so many e-mail that you can't at least be courteous. | |

Posted: 2/7/2008 7:10:06 PM | honestly, dont put too much thought into it. they key is to find someone who is honest. it doesnt matter if you have stuff in common. As long as your its not something like your a chrsitian and shes a scientologist. but if she likes kites and you like to lay carpet it doesnt matter. Screw it if you are a lard ass and she is skinny it dont matter. just cuz you like eating all the cake and she eats what you have left on you shirt its cool. When you find someone you are interested in just tell them. Dont be coy about it. It really dont matter what you say. As long as you dont ask for a lay. Understand?
good. | |
