Seriously????noway

How about a comment about their profile, introducing yourself, telling them why are you writing...

If I get 'hey how are you' I think wow, how impressive. NOT. It is impersonal, generic, and honestly it's insulting.

from what I've seen after a few years on these sites most women receive a zillion "breaking the ice" emails every day saying "hi sexy" or something as imaginative

if you wanna be noticed you have to stand out and above the crowd of salivating hormone driven males
hmmm....


maybe i should email sites with naked monkeys on them

Yes, I go out on dates at least monthly. With folks who write actual sentences and don't use mails like messenger...

Im sorry- people are very rude nowadays

I always respond even if its just to thank you for writing

Guess i was raised pretty well

Have a great day!


I do the same, a simple thank you note with nothing leading to suggest another email.

I was also raised that rudeness in any form wasn't acceptable w/o provocation. Then you'll have those people who will say your email was perhaps provocation enough. A no win. So just let it be, don't take it too personal.

I'm not hard core. I expect that if a person expresses interest, that they actually do so. It's insulting to get a generic message with no thought put into it.

It's insulting that a person can't take the time, on dating sites, to read a profile and send a personalized message. The fact that you seem not to understand why that is insulting makes it more clear why you aren't getting replies. Until you understand your mails are insulting the recipients....

I would like to highlight, surround with exclaimation marks, bold lettering and shooting stars this part.."It's insulting that a person can't take the time, on dating sites, to read a profile and send a personalized message."

Thank you very much.

It is my understanding the female preying mantis eats the male after mating. Not after dinner. She'd already be full, right?
