| What makes you message someone on here?
Posted: 1/21/2008 5:09:33 AM | (and i searched for this thread title before making it aren't I a good little forum poster).
I was wondering is it based on their pics alone or what you read.. I have in my profile that I've broken my leg very recently and am laid up in plaster.. you'd be surprised at the number of people who message me saying ...
" what are you up too, you not working today? (and when i reply, on the sofa at home typing..lol) they reply with "why are you at home, are you ill? day off?" or they say "hiya been out clubbing/dancin this weekend?" (with a freshly broken leg?? hardly likely)...am i being mean if this puts me off and i dont bother replying? they didn't bother reading so why should I bother replying??
If i go to someones profile, I read it.. all of it...do you? and if not why not?
xx

Posted: 1/21/2008 5:15:32 AM | If I'm going to send them a message then its due to having read their profile and liking what I've read.
I'm not currently working, not through choice but through the fact that I'm finding it very hard to get a job, and I get similar messages to you. I haven't been out recently as I can't afford to, I need my money to be able to pay bills and eat.
Fair enough its normally the picture that makes me open the page originally but looks aren't everything to me so if I send a message its due to liking what I've read. | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 5:18:04 AM | I will message people on here if there is something to spark my interest ... could be a charming smile, sexy eyes , or a witty tag line , or a lively bright profile - but there has to be something there to catch my eye !
Of course , its a complete waste of time my doing so , because none of you ladies can ever be bothered to reply anyway, so thats for another thread ... ! | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 5:26:47 AM | Usually a profile catches my eye because it has humour or sarcasm in it - two attributes I like in my men  and I always take time to read all of it and not just the first few lines before deciding whether or not to send a message . I might also add that I don't worry if I don't receive a reply as I'm only looking for friends | |

Now that is a good trait!!
I like to read something that makes me smile or think, just something that makes me think that person is interesting. | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 6:30:20 AM | | Ok lets be honest here. Yes humor is good for the soul and all that but if you see a profile and the person has a big wart on thier nose, one eye is yellow and every other tooth is missing, i don't think it matters how funny the person is i just don't see how i could bring myself to message that person. lol | |

We all have people that we find attractive and people that we dont.

I do try and answer all my mails but i'd have been here for 24hrs straight over the weekend if i did it, why do men assume they deserve a reply? particularly if the message is rude or disrespectful and they think thats how to get our attention? by insulting? this isnt the playground you cant pull my pigtails and also.... just "hi" what am i supposed to say back? if you put some effort in, then I will....its not always as simple as it appears gentlemen. xxx | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 6:54:41 AM | | Got to agree with you BG, I've had messages sent to me before that just contain a statement, I tried to think of a way to respond and couldn't. The next day I got a stroppy message from the same guy so I just stated that if he'd sent me a message that I could have responded to originally then I would have and there was no need to get quite so rude about it. | |

thats sometimes a good way to judge someones charector, i read every mail but dont always reply sometimes i go away think about it and come back when ive got more than 5 mins and reply.. if inbetween times they message me all stroppy because i didnt immediately reply im like "yep.. lucky escape"... | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 7:04:38 AM | | I was just trying to make the point that it is the attraction that makes a person send a message, atleast for me it is, but then if a message is sent to me i will respond back to all even if just to say i am not interested because i think no-one on here should be rude to anyone just because they found "you" attractive. | |

If someone has taken the time and effort to send you a message, the least you can do is reply, abliet the rude and obnoxious ones ladies, i dont blame you if you just delete them.
Text speak i agree is non functional, i'm sorry people its not big and its not clever 
Sending the initial message can be a bit of a challenge though, you either have the guts and courage to do so or you don't.
As someone once said, "no guts, no glory", if you dont send one how will you know ?? It doesnt matter if the person laughs at your message, you cant hear them ! | |

Posted: 1/21/2008 7:40:45 AM | ZZzzzzzzz this has been discussed so many times... and it's turning into a self pity of thread of "it's only polite to reply to my messages". Boo fackin hoo... why do men get so pissy about it? Move on.
Let's be honest, if a woman has a nice pair of legs, a tan, underwear or bikini photos with tits hanging out the majority of men will always be provoked into messaging women irrelevant of the (or lack of) written profile content.
If I were to message someone, it would be upon the basis of content written in their profile not good looks and provocative photos. | |
