I must admit I hate one line emails. Example:

U R Gorgeous!!!!!!

I mean what am I suppose to say????? It says nothing about him and why he is interested in me. I think it is shallow and childish. And most men who send this type of email dont have a picture of themselves up. As to say they should be able to judge my looks but I should not see them. I am I being picky??

send back a one line comment on their lack of picture

example:

damn your a nice sunrise, but whats with the tattoo of "ask me to post a pic" across your face?

or something along those lines, just be as sarcastic as possible.

I would say he is just stating the obvious and does not really want a response. But then, that's just how I see it. Nope, I don't think you are being too picky. There should be something else about you that interests him besides just how you look.

lol i do that somtimes. I used to write a paragraph to each person but most of the time i wouldnt get a reply, this was earlier in my JSH days. So couple words are saying im interesting in talking to you care to talk, without wasting the time kinda thing and the lack of communication skills =).


Men =O

maybe he's just testing to see if you're interested... if you don't like one liners, then don't respond.

First impressions suck. You dont want to go cheesy with the "I liked your profile" (I just sent one of those actually). But you dont want to throw down your life story. You can usually tell by what you get, what they want. U R Gorgeous!!! To me says - Im not really looking to talk to you, which is probably a good thing, because I wont even invest the time to type out the word YOU or ARE, so Im probably not a very good conversationalist.

I generally try to pick something out that jumped out at me, similar intrest or whatever, and comment on that. Or if its really just the pic that got me, Ill say straight up. "Great pic, no real need to chat with you, just thought Id throw out that ego boost."

I agree, why waste time writing a decent email when they aren't going to answer? I think a simple hi is not too bad. :)

I try to answer every email until they become annoying. But what are you suppose to say to a one line email with no picture and very little their profile???

he writes U R Gorgeous!!!!!!

Should I write: Well gee gosh thanks NO ONE has ever told me that. You are so insightful and deep and moving?????

(I did write: ok)I cant help it I can be a smart a$$ at times.

MMMM Hello how are you?? Wouldnt be better???

ok seriously i'd like to know, what do women want to see in a first email? i'm sure they don't want to hear all about us or how great we think they are constantly.

so to the op, what would you like to see?

I like the ones that say hi how are you? And I hate the ones that use all caps. As far as not having a pic, I don't have a pic of myself on my profile either, so I can't really discriminate because of that. :)

Well, actually not every woman has been told she's gorgeous, so some might actually like that. :)

hi how are you? thats it? seems like you would get a real brief "fine" back if anything. then the question comes up what do you write back to "fine"?

me? oh i'm doing great thanks for not asking.

but what do i know, the story of my love life is like listening to a blank tape.

Im sorry but "U R Gorgeous", and no I am not a lesbian. I would give anything to have your looks and body, and to get an email like that. I do not have my pic posted, but believe me I would if I had your looks.

You go girl...

LOL, well usually if a guy writes me that and I find his profile interesting, I will say more than just fine. So it's just an icebreaker. But yeah, sending someone a long email about whatever that gets ignored is just a waste of time- to me. And I think men are used to women who like to be called pretty. I had a friend who would do anything for a guy if he told her she looked good!

Thank you so much now see that felt good. But I think some times men get all caught up in looks and pay very little attention to me as a person. Now dont get me wrong. I like a handsome man just as much as the next person. I dated a guy who was pretty he could be a model and he was great in bed BUT he was dumb as door stop.
It was really heart breaking but I couldnt be with him. I want the beautiful man who is great in bed and is smart. I know that man has a wife already right. Do women after a certain age have to settle????

Hi I noticed you like to read. What are you reading now??? I love XXX book have you read that??? OR

What is your favorite band at the moment. I love XXX they are so cool. Have you heard of them??

I have a passport and have 10 stampes on it. Do you have a passport and how many stamps are in it??

I could go on for days.

I always send a one word mail back saying "Thanks??????", I usually never hear back from them

What is the funniest thing to happen to you today????
I love rainy days when the clouds are big and black. What kind of weather do you like most??
I am a cat person are you are cat or a dog person and WHY?
What is the best way to spend a sunday morning??

ya know it really bothers me that people consider it "settling" if the person their with isn't 100% of what they want. what a way to make somebody feel not good enough huh?
