For the non-believers..... (19)
Well said Johnny!!!! 
Thanks 
Your own profile is one of those I would suggest people look at. The Do's and Don'ts - while humourous, are also very true!!

Nicely put Johnny.
To be honest Johnny,i was quiet surprised a few weeks ago when a guy that was mailing me told me he had mailed a few ladies from CS and got no replies at all 
We have been dating past 6 weeks and alls going good
You either click with someone or you dont but by not replying at all even to say "thanks for the mail" you will never know.
A lot of women(maybe men too)are put off by a simple thing like bad spelling..well the guy im dating isnt great at spelling but it doesnt take away from the good person he is.
As for profiles,well people can write what they like in a profile but at the end of the day if you are not as you say you are of course it will be noticed after a meet up or two so honesty is always the best policy i believe.

JohnnyT: I've seen a few threads up from people who aren't having any luck on CS and feel that many women on this site are rude/ignorant/stand-offish. So I feel the need to post this thread.
First off - CS works!!!
Now while I've met my current girlfriend in the "real world". the relationship before that was with a girl I met on CS. We went out for almost a year. I had dated women before her that I'd met through CS. And after, most of the women I dated were from CS. Others were from nights out, etc. NONE, were from other sites. I had tried other sites such as POF, flirtbox, another friend, match, etc... CS is by far the best one out there. In saying that, it doesn't mean if you send someone a crappy one-liner, you will get an instant response.
BUT - if you send a crappy one liner - and you have a good profile - you more than likely will get a response. The best profiles I have seen on CS are the regular forum posters. Those that have been here a while and have essentially "upped their game" when it comes to online dating. Check out those profiles. Stating your age in the about me section.... no need. Interests are fine and all but everyone goes to the gym. Everyone likes films and going out. Also, there are much more men on dating sites than women so expect that you will not get a 100% reply rate.
My own profile is a total piss-take and in fairness, it worked.
Hope it goes well

i emailed a few girls at the start and got no replies so ive just given up,
if someone contacts me then great,
otherwise im just staying on the forums,
sad state of affairs though when people couldnt even be arsed in saying thanks but no thanks,
manners and decency are non existant anymore in ireland im sorry to say
Grá__: Really glad you met someone mister
Cheers Gra. Going well so far and should continue to. She's as mental as the rest of our bunch
kev147: i emailed a few girls at the start and got no replies so ive just given up
When you say a few, how many? I would have mailed scores of girls when I first started on CS and gotten very few reply's but I just kept trying and then taken note of the type of messages I got reply's to.
Each girl is different obviously. Straightforwardness works with some. Charm works with others. Teasing works with, well most women.
