| sending virtual gifts with the opening message
Posted: 3/31/2008 12:26:41 AM | I was just reading a thread about cut n' paste messages and how distinctly unappealing they and other messages of little consideration are for women. That seemed irrelevant to my situation because I don't use cut n' paste messages until I read some of the responses from the male posters. I've come to the conclusion that some much cleverer men then I are sending cut n' paste messages that probably look like they have more consideration and thought put into them then mine!
I'm thinking the only way to to distinguish myself from the guys whom are more charming at message writing then I is to include virtual gifts.
So what do you think girls? Is this a good idea, futile gesture or even creepy for a first message?
What does everyone else use their virtual gift points for anyway? | |

Ive gotten a few Be Mine roses with first message and thats a bit alarming as the guys dont know me enough to ask me to be theirs lol | |

Truely, I think they're very odd. | |

I wish they had more variety, something with a comedic value to them but thats my sense of humour
I agree. The brown bear looks the most friendly but the 55 point value is kind of under shooting what I'm aiming for here. 360 points is about right but whine glasses seem suggestive of things I don't intend to suggest. | |

I think the whole virtual flowers/gifts thing is pretty lame in general.
I agree. I have over 15000 points.
I don't contact a lot of women on here, but when I do, I want them to pay attention to the written content of my e mail, not some virtual gift. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 6:41:41 AM | I only send the occassional 'virtual gift' to the people I have been corresponding with when they tell me they have had a bad day or perhaps the opposite. In a first email? Never, not a chance, no way. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 6:50:48 AM | I tend to think that the ‘gifts’ are something that should be used sparingly and only after you have developed a bit of history. Never on the first go-around.
But for the most part , I find the selection of the 'gifts' rather lame, almost cloying -but to each their own.

Posted: 3/31/2008 9:07:59 AM | I got a couple with first messages, and a cut and paste! How do I know? The guy sent me almost the same message on Match! The other one, we had NOTHING in common that I could see...
I would skip sending it right off the bat. And YES on wanting more variety and some humor in the gifts!
I send gifts to friends who are going through something at the time to let them know I'm thinking of them. Or as 'Thank You's'. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 10:59:09 AM | With a gift or not, the cut and paste email is very easy to spot, and even easier to delete. I used to advise men not to send them out, but they ripped me apart for catching on and told me i was a **** and had men issues.
Damn we ****es. Always wanting someone to write us a personalized email that was meant just for us and not dozens of other women who the writer deemed ok looking enough to have sex with. | |

I do too, and I never send them out in first emails, they are usually saved for people who I talk to on a regular basis. I send out the lingerie woman in a joking manner to existing friends telling them that I was the body model.  On the flip side, I wish that they would have something like that with a hunk for women, it is very double standard. I just see these gifts as a thought that counts kind of thing. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 9:46:35 PM | I think the whole virtual gift thing is lame too. It's more impersonal then the cut/paste emails. It would be different if the gifts were really funny....but they're just another example of how technology can ruin romance lol.  | |

all you women say that men need to come up with original messages then you see the unread delete message.Best just to keep it simple and then if the other person wants to contact you and chat you can get to know each other from there.
and yes you do have man issue's  | |
