you email them?

I have received several emails from different men and it is glaringly obvious that they have NOT read my profile. I am also on other sites and have had the same thing occur. This drives me crazy! I am pretty explicit in my profile as to what I am looking for and am seriously looking for a mate, so I am not looking for random hook-ups with just anyone! Has anyone else had this experience? And for those of you who just email randomly, why do you do that? confused

I'm new here, so I haven't had anything like that on this site, BUT --

Last year, I was on a pay site for three months, got contacted by 174 of their members in that time, mostly locals, and I would estimate 80% of them NEVER read my profile. If they had, they wouldn't have bothered writing!

As an example, I stated in the profile very clearly that I do not drink, I do not go to bars, and I was not interested in getting involved with anyone who did. And at least a dozen of them kept asking me to go meet them in various local bars. Sorry!

One actually pestered me for two months about that....

I let the paid membership lapse after three months because, despite the fact that I got so many e-mails, none of the people were suitable.

That was 14 months ago and I still average 1 or 2 new e-mails a day over there. I can't do anything with them, because I'm not a paying member anymore, but I do find it a little disconcerting how people expect you to be interested in them, when they haven't even bothered to spend a few minutes looking at your profile before they write....

Hi Tesser,


It happen's all the time. A lot of guys just randomly click on pictures and send a meaningless message or flower in the hope that someone will reply. You will find that a lot of these guys dont even have pictures up. Dont waste your time on time wasters.

Eventually the right one will pop up somewhere along the line and it will go from there.

Chin up my girl......wave hug

I have to read a profile first, otherwise I'm not sure how to reply. I think some that don't read profile are scammers also. I also agree that some people just email based on a pic alone.

I read, then if theres something in it that is too different from me I just pass on by. Unfortunately theres no "been here viewed that" icon. Because I have found myself sometimes looking at the same profile more than a few times. Beit they changed the picture or something they commented on that interested me so I take another look see.

Flowers I do randomly, I give more thought in to sendin an E-mail.reason being my typing skills are atrocious.

I always read profiles before I answer them. It is funny when they say we have a lot in common and their profile is blank for the most part. I have to ask just what do we have in common.sigh

Yes, I read the profiles before I email. It irritates the hell out of me when people email me and want to talk and I find out they didn't even read my profile. I think that shows they aren't really interested in me as a person. I, too, am not interested in random hookups!very mad

Yeah, I always read the profile before I message anyone....

As for the ones who write to me, I think most of the men are so gobsmacked by my pictures that they just send me adoring messages and completely forget to read my profile...

cool
