Is a photo and a few lines enough?
A dating site is very similar to a shop were you put your goods in the window ( photos and profile) with the hope of catching a person's attention as they browse the site?The problem starts when you enter the shop! most women have a meet and greet message (if they like your profile) then seem to go quiet rather than encourage the dialogue along?

If I get a basic 'hi' , I know it has been sent to a trillion other women , so basically ignore it or send a polite reply.
If I see that the message is designed for me, and only me then I will definitely take more notice.
Tell me more?
Un, we deepfry everything. Pizza, Curly-wurlies and Mars bars are high on the list. Not a pretty sight but they tell me it is delicious.
Deep-fried porridge never really caught on, must be said.
The Mars Bar -
the spotlight Another one coming up.
I had to view your profile to see what you were referring to?
As I can see, you have written a lengthy description about yourself.
As for encouraging any kind of dialogue with anyone it has to be with someone who has read my profile in its entirety and has mentioned a few details so that I know that his message was only sent to me, and only ME!
The first email has to be something exciting for me to take notice of and it will determine whether I wish to carry on the dialogue or just ignore it.
Your right long gone are the cave man days,
enjoy
