This ones for the guys.. My question is, do guys mind being emailed or message by the women first? Does it really make a difference? And girls..do you tend to email first or prefer to be emailed?

Nope dont mind. Actually I like it because it allows me to have more opportunities to meet other people that might not have came up in my searches. bigsmile

No problem either way no offense being approach first or me approaching first. When you like someone or think it might work just email or message first no matter if your a man or a woman.

Hmm. I wonder if any guy is going to speak up and say he doesn't want women messaging him first. laugh

After I had been here for awhile, I started getting lots of e-mail from women on the site. Works for me, since I don't e-mail anyone first.

I actually like to initiate the messaging first to let the lady know that I am interested. If she messages me back in a good way then that lets me know she is interested in me. If it's in a bad way and tells me to leave her alone, I then sever contact with her and move on to the next until someone good shows interest and sticks around without playing head games.

Heck yeah.

Its the power position, then the guy gets to decide to accept or reject. By the tone of the first message can determine how to reply. He can come from a empowered position because he knows you're interested.

Well..I don't know about anyone else....but I definitely didn't mind it when the woman I met here emailed me first.

My tagline caught her attention, so she emailed me for a bit of clarification.

Things have gone on from there. :thumbsup:

Don't mind it at all. I mean... as long as nothing incredibly creepy is said in said messages or emails (including such classics as "I can't wait to bear your children", and "I wanna drink your blood"), then it's all good.

In fact, since I'm usually pretty reluctant to message or email first (out of a certain amount of shyness), I usually prefer it if she do it instead.

I'd find it hard to believe that there are many men out there who wouldn't be happy for a woman to send the first email.

Especially considering that I don't know many dudes who wouldn't appreciate having the pressure taken off of them.

There might be a few ( VERY FEW ) guys who are the " old fashioned " type and feel that it should always be the man that expresses first interest. But, taken with the fact that 99% of the time, expressing first interest gets exactly zero response, especially on a site such as this one, I wouldn't think there would be many guys, even " old fashioned " ones, that wouldn't appreciate being on the receiving end of a first contact.
