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?


What is this "e-mail" that you speak of? I'm not familiar with it. tears

The real question should be, "what do you expect in a first E-mail";

A five paragraph comedy monologue?

A quick riff on the English poets of the fifteenth century?

A local weather report?

Traffic conditions on the bypass?

The sun will rise in the East, set in the West, and there might be some rain.

I never get these questions, nor do I ask them. If I write at all I usually write something sincere but I never get a reply. Sometimes I'll get "Do you like younger men?" And I think to myself, "not anymore!" :)

I don't e-mail new people.

The questions I get are almost always:

"Where are you?"
"What do you do?"
"What are you looking for on this site?"

...at which time I refer them to my profile, because they would already know the answers if they had read it.


whoa slaphead I sooo Agree with you.I mean come on when they can;t even be bothered to read about you. Why een take the time to write back, I mean will they read that?spock

Or they just blatantly ask for your cell phone number and yahoo messenger info. That's REALLY pissing me off of late.
