| 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? | |

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 | |

| Do you send messages or an IM? Posted: 5/7/2008 4:25:13 PM | | 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 | |

The turn of a phrase often captures my attention.
I send emails......rarely IM unless I know them better. Rude not to.

| Do you send messages or an IM? Posted: 5/7/2008 5:00:31 PM | | 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. | |

| Do you send messages or an IM? Posted: 5/7/2008 5:24:18 PM | 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. | |
