In the last week, I have received 50+ messages. While there was a fair share of 'quick deletes', 'poor grammar' and obvious 'copy and pastes', one message stood out. It addressed a specific component of my profile which seemed to create a sense of comfort. While neither of us are interested in each other and looking for very different things in life, we have had several interesting chats.

***I am curious to know what stands out for others? What catches your attention or peaks your interest when you receive a message from another?***

To answer your question:

Somebody who has obviously read my profile, or made some reference to a post I've made gets a reply.

If they are literate, intelligent, witty, local, correct age-group and physically within my range, then the conversation continues grin

If they are local, or someone from the forums who I have known for awhile, I will respond. If they are age appropriate for me. If the message says more than HI. If there is a conversation, and no inappropriate requests for personal info....a few more items on the list.

I seldom respond to anyone but forum friendsteddybear

A well written email with no grammar mistakes or spelling of a 3 year old would do the trick.
