Do you send messages or an IM?
Posted: 5/7/2008 3:55:24 PM
After reading a guy's profile, and providing you like that profile, how many of yous sends a message to them or an IM?
Or would you rather to wait for a message or an IM to be sent to you?

And what appeals to you more in a their profiles?

Stu,
If I find a guy interesting I will send a short note if he responds then see where it leads.
But I get messaged from men I'll accept to be polite...then once I read his profile and find it unappealing it makes for an awkward situation. I think it's best to email so the person has a chance to read your profile

Hi
I agree with you there, it's only right for someone to send an email first before a chat. I got to admit, I made that mistake before now

I have my IM disabled cuz I find random IM requests off guys that I've never heard of and may not even have even gone to the trouble of reading my profile very intrusive. For that reason I would always mail them first so I know the attraction is recipricated

I look for something different...........

The turn of a phrase often captures my attention.

I send emails......rarely IM unless I know them better. Rude not to.

I always send emails. I disabled my IM for the same reason as Loiterer. Also, the IM on PoF doesn't work very well and it's frustrating. I also like to have time to think about what I say initially as well so email just works better.

My IM only works for those on my favorites list. If i didn't put them on my list, I don't want an IM from them just popping up any old time. I think it's rude to do that to people you don't know.

If a man doesn't know me, I think it's best to email me and develop a rapport with me first. If I then put him on my favorites list, he can IM me anytime he sees me on line.
