I will give you my FAVORITE type of email. :-) 'Hi, please write me back with all your information so I can see if I like you.' I laugh and laugh :-) My LEAST favorite is: 'I have seen your picture and I know you are the ONE.' First email. Really. I often get something like: "Hi. Tell me about yourself." When I ask them what they want to know, they say anything. When I ask them to be more specific, they say they don't know what to ask, or they ask the questions in the first email. So unoriginal. This is a logistics conundrum. The guy does not know what to ask, because he does not know what he does not know about you. If he knew what to ask, he could only do that if he knew about you, and then why ask? I understand that you are upset that they want you to do all the work, but you must understand that they are lazy, so you MUST show by example how not to be lazy. I, on the other hand, if asked to tell them about myself, then their second or maximum third email will be, "please tell me less about yourself, or better still, nothing at all. I don't have time to read all your letters. In fact, silence and white pages are a virtue. Remember that." |

I'm not upset. If they're very vague like that, I just ask them to be more specific. I suggest they read my profile, then if they have any specific questions to let me know, as I cannot read their mind as to what they would like to know. If they can't do anything beyond that, then the conversation ends, because those kind of people generally can't help keep a conversation going.

Sorry. |

Wow..., Are you telling me that you guys get more then one e-mail., wow-we.., can you do me a helpful considerate act by seeing if they have a single sister or friend who's in need of a good, honest, caring, devolted, romantic, attentive to ones needs and somewhat still attractive male adult who's in need of a good female friend or maybe more.  Call me better yet e-mail me. Thanks Some days, I will get 10-12, maybe more. About half are immediately identifiable as scammers. Of the rest, about half of those are scammers, but more discrete ones. It takes time to ferret them out. The remainder, I suspect, are women who probably send out mass e-mails hoping someone will be interested. |

When I get emails from new guys, the emails tend to be full of the same questions. "Why are you single?" "How long have you been here?" "How long have you been single?" Those are just a few of the questions that are asked by most. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets them either. Do you ask these types of questions when you email new people? What other questions do you see over and over? as for me I've not recieved email from anyone and to those I emailed I try to be friendly with them and with this I get to know much about them |

Another favorite question seems to be "Do you like younger/older men?"

Well, I put in my profile the ages I prefer. That question is usually asked by men who are much older or much younger. And is usually followed with the "age is just a number" thing.

I repeat what I have said in my profile. Age is important, as if they're too much younger/older, we'll be at different places in life and that just doesn't work well when dating.

But you can make diffrent place the same Not really. The really young ones are just turning 21 and partying all the time. Not really my thing. The much older ones are about to retire/have retired and I work full time. So neither would work well for me. |

Those are just a few of the questions that are asked by most. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets them either. Do you ask these types of questions when you email new people? What other questions do you see over and over? No, I avoid those questions specifically - becuase I think they are selfish to the person asking, and asking such questions communicates that the person asking those questions are not taking into account the feelings of the recipient of the questions. I mean, if someone whom I do not know asks me, "Why are you single"... I would be offended. I mean really? You might as well just ask "You look and seem normal and attractive at face value - what is it deeper within you that prevents you from having a successful relationship!... GRRR! Me? I tend to be more pragmatic in my approach. I simply read the person's profile, form my opinions (like we all do - be them conscious or not) and ask questions based on that. If no questions come to mind, that means I am not interested and I don not try to e-mail "generics" if you will :). but, eh? that's just me... $.02 |

Most of my emails just say, you are gorgeous, beautiful or HOT. Then they usually just ask to chat or meet up somewhere...Probably for a booty call. Men dont seem very interested in the things i have to offer mentally. (Sigh) I suppose it is there loss anyways. it's too bad, Im smart and creative...people waste their time asking the wrong questions...then they fail to realize what a gem you really are.
