i've sent messeges to various women whom i find myself drawn to. no matter what i messege them i never seem to get a reply. i have tried every approach i can think of but to no avail. i mention things we have in common or ask if they want to chat. i don't know if i'm doing it all wrong but i never get a reply. i may not be a great looking fella but do you need to be to chat? come on girls give me a clue. what do you like to see in your first messege from a guy?

It might be because you have nothing on ur profile. I rarely reply to women that dont have any info about themselves.

lol...if you use the megasearch function you shouldn't have that problem (unless they are saying that to get rid of you!)

Well yeah, if they're lesbians their profiles are defaulted to not accept messages from men. So it's not like they're ignoring you on purpose, it's just that you're not supposed to be able to contact them Smile

Now that is something i didn't know!!!! but as i've never bothered to message a lesbian i wonder if the same applies to lesbians messaging fellas?

Nope, I believe the system only restricts on gender - not sexual orientation. If a girl - of any orientation, messages you, you'll get it. But if she's defined as a lesbian, you won't be able to reply.

It's not really a flawed system, as girls shouldn't really be saying they're looking for girls - then messaging guys instead - but they can change that attribute in their profiles.

The only thing missing I think is guys looking for guys? There's a site specifically for the flirtbox lesbian community, but not for the male gay community.

I checked, there's an option for guys looking for guys. I stand corrected!

ive got over 100 messages to get thru, and 2b honest getting thru them all is a bit of a mission- they are mostly the same- very short and kinda greeting-cardy, or sometimes x-rated greeting cardy!
id like to see something more original and personal, that is specific 2 something ive mentioned on my profile, rather than just a generic message which could b 4 any girl.

by the way, i never get messages from women! where are they all?
