the key is to break the mould - im sure the ladies posting here would agree that getting one message that doesnt say "get them out" or "wanna chat" and instead tries to have a normal chat with them would go a long way |
Exactly.

Well if anything at least my posting got a good response.
To Scott ...i didnt relise my profile says im looking for sex as you put it,so before you go pointing the finger i think it would be a good idea to read all what ive wrote in my profile.
As for everyone else what you have said has been taken on board,and to be honest i just think if you send a one liner in a meesage you got as much hope of find gold in your own back yard.
As for my intail point i think if someone has taken the time to message someone in a polite manner ,then it doesnt take 1 minute to send a reply saying thanx ,but no thanx ,,,thats jsut my personal opinion,i was brought up with manners and respect and i dont think theres any harm in expecting the same in return.
As for the site i think its cool ,one its free and i think more sites out there need to be more like this one.
I think theres too many sites on the net that make a exploitation out of lonely people,and lets face it ,,theres plenty of us around although some do not want to admit it ..
I will however persevre as i have had many a knock back ,but i keep on plugging away.
And i appriaciate the time and trouble that the moderators put in to this site/forum.
For what is worth i think you do a good job.
# Looking for... some fun
# romance
# no strings fun
# casual encounters
# a short-term relationship
# a long-term relationship
# ...flirty fun?!
P.s Scott does this say im looking for sex?
End of the day im covering all options but i fail to see where it says im looking for sex..
All down to enterpritation isnt it.

not being picky here but
# no strings fun
# casual encounters
# ...flirty fun?!
they would be taken as looking for sex

personally, by ticking all the boxes available i dont think it is seen as keeping your options open...In my opinon it just looks like someone is not sure what they want, or that they are free and easy in what they are looking for (quite desperate)..not saying that was/is the intention, but can be read two ways i think..
and i agree..i read no strings fun as 'looking for sex for one night' and
'casual encounters' as pretty much..dont want to get to know you too well but sex would be good..

I hope so, but all I can say for sure is that you're now handicapping yourself less, at least.
I wasn't being personal, by the way. A recent study based not on claimed preferences but on actual e-mailing behaviour on dating sites showed that women almost never reply to men who advertise for no-strings or casual fun.
Unless you're Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp, most women will just ignore any profiles with that on them.

Some women do get lots of messages every day. The majority of those messages probably ask for sex. Or have crude comments in them. I find that the very few messages I do get have both of the above.  |
I keep waiting for mine to come
