This topic might have been done to death but it's new to me. I (and most ladies here I assume) get a lot of messages from guys saying......"what's sup write me back" or "you're beautiful, my aim is 83838" or just plain old "hey"

Do you send messages this short and do they work? I am not talking about when you send a message to another forum member because at least then the person recognizes you.

When I get a short message like this and most of the time the guys profiles says little, I have nothing to go on.

Guys might say....."well, I'm just trying to start a conversation"....I understand but I can't start up 20 new random conversations a day. In a week I'll have over 100 going.

I think guys should say something in their message. Express common interest and show me that they read my profile. Those guys almost always get a response even if I am not interested in them.

I don't mean to preach. I'm just curious if guys really get a lot of responses form other women when they send out short "say nothing" messages. I try to respond to all message from guys who aren't nasty. I don't respond to all flowers because there are too many.

I don't send messages that often but when I do, they are really short. Out of 10 messages sent i only get about 1 maybe 2 replys....

Hey Mindy!

Yes, guys should reveal a little more than just saying "sup" or whatever lol...

And they should certainly read your profile (I did) to get an idea of some of your old fashion qualities (having dinner ready when your man comes home :)

When I do send messages to women, I just usually say what's on my mind and just let them know how I liked what they wrote in their profile and how beautiful they are. That's it. I may say that I'm just saying hi and not trying to hook up or anything (I live far away and I'm realistic). I just say that I wanted to say hi or whatever and say some things about me that may resemble her interests.

Women seem to like this. I may or may not have some pen pals. And that's it.

I'm actually really here for the forums, but leave my window open for a cool breeze to come in just in case.

Than you for the compliment. I feel bad for the guys I can't respond to but if they don't even try then what am I supposed to do?

LOL. Are you getting too much advice? Sorry I can't help you out, advice is all I have to give in a forum. I can flirt with you but it won't help you with other women probably.

I have only made first contact with two guys and both replied with one sentence answers. It was like pulling teeth.

One guy I sent a two paragraph message to and his reply was......"I think U R hot do U wanna chat"
He seemed to be a nice guy but darn it! I want a paragraph!! ha ha

The older guys are so much better at messages but I need a guy closer to my age.

Where you going...get back over heresuper

Your profile always makes me laugh spicey. At times, I click on your profile just to read your profile and get a good laugh....and forget to look at your beauty in your pics....lol

Anyways, I can only imagine the sales pitches you women get by some of the CS freaks.

Her profile is great. I read it when I first got here and it made me feel like my profile was kind of blah.
I was going to copy her technique but I figured that would be stealing. I'll use it if I go to another dating site. She'll never know.

2 types of guys send those type messages. The ones not knowing any better and the ones that have given up because of the normal no response from the women. sigh This is the most talked about topic on most forums I am on and it is always the same. Guys say they send long messages and still they are ignored so why bother they say. crying
I only send out 1 or 2 messages a week and I make sure they are the best messages I can make because I want to make the women feel special, like I just want to talk to them , not to any woman that will have me.

Mindyyy: Good night :-)

I don't like diatribes either. Just a few sentences. I've had to block a few guys mostly for spamming my inbox. They don't even give me time to answer before they send me a nasty....."why didn't you respond you bee-yotch"

Yea, some messages I get I just know the guy is sending out the same message to 50 girls a night. It doesn't make me feel special.

I never send messages to girls. But sometimes I receive flowers and messages from women saying, "hello there". Can you tell me what does it mean?

Hi Rexus
I have no idea what they mean. I rarely send flowers and when I do it is to people I already know. I like to send messages, it's more personal.

I also do not have any idea and sometimes reply with "Thanks for the flower" and sometimes not reply at all..
