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?

How many are "most women"?
I guess it depends on the woman


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.
Molly wow I did I offered chocolate and everything blushing grin laugh
Shaken, pah! You offer chocolates to all the girls roll eyes

(flirting)conversing
Deep fried chocolate? Nooooooo! blues
Wizard, I only want to flirt with you but you are such a will-o-the-wisp I have to keep my hand in as best I can scold

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.
What a terrible thing to do to chocolate.confused
No wonder Scottish Cholesterol is through the roof.uh oh
its chips moll wants she odd the scot wants a few woodbines would keep her smiling ha ha only chocolate when all else fails
Omg Biff, my teeth hurt at the thought. I can't stand Mars bars even without the deep frying. I think I'd be ill
Mine's just peachy, darling, but then I'm an immigrant and don't do local food.

You're starting one, are you? conversing

dancing
Bonjour Jon. wave Tu es Français? Moi aussi. wine

I had to view your profile to see what you were referring to? confused

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.
