Good one, Adam...especially #1. I've often wondered this, too... do explicit messages pay off for some men? My guess would be that the percentage of favorable replies is quite low, but even one out of 20 or more attempts is still a pay off for the sender. There must be some women who do enjoy such messages, or else the men wouldn't keep sending them.

Don't think for one minute that they don't know what they are doing. They are part of what makes a lot of dating sites less appealing for those of us not looking for cheap thrills. I've had a few here and on other sites try this crap with me - all I will say is I pity the fool.

i find it difficult to accept but it has got to be somewhat effective . with all of they negativity one should receive you would think no one in their right mind would consider this approach hence question #3 .

I guess it must be effective to some degree, or they derive some sort of power complex from upsetting women.
Personally it has never crossed my tiny mind to send such stuff, but judging from how many complaints we see from the ladies on the site, it must be happening quite often, or one or two guys are particularly active.

i have not ruled out anything yet but there has to be a reason nothing happens without a reason . there are many sites for that sort of thing so why do it here i like this site and everyone in it and it's free can't top that.

Bingo! And because its so FREE, all sort of pathetic attention seekers are drawn to it for the free pickings. Any of these types planning any future visits to my mailbox or IM had better pray I'm in good mood that day.
i have a more explicit message for these a**hole!! TRY ACTING LIKE GENTLEMEN.......THESE LADIES ARE HUMAN BEINGS, NOT ANIMALS CRAWLING AROUND IN THE MUD WITH THEIR TAILS IN THE AIR!!!
i think its probably like bad pick up lines, or telemarketing.
its anumbers game. for every 100 no answers you get, you might get a yes and a maybe.
i think its a silly approach.
even though its not my style, i must admit, the one time in my life i actually tried the crude approach (i was 19, and alcohol was involved) , it actually worked with an efficiency that made my head spin, and it was via telephone. the girl really took a gamble on what i might look like (and visa versa)

my last serious thread on this subject did not give me any results on how often it happens but did reveal a lot to the content .

i am not sure providing these guys with mental images like that is going to help the situation
