SUNSHINEB0Y: I might send myself one of each.....
and then ignore me I get to experience everything then
I was refering to the dating side of this site not the forums as u can see we are comunicating. If a forum member sends me a mail I usually answer them but as you all know we do get the odd weido and angry dude on these forums so we wouldn't answer them either would we. Anyhow just to say Hi! I'm not a bi***H
I've been wondering, and holding out some faith that one of you can give me some tips--when I do answer a WVM or just reach out and send an e-m to someone who has seemed to want that, I hardly ever get a reply. It's frustrating. My profile is relatively all-American boy-next-door, etc..(read it, see what I mean) is there a precise way to write, etc... also, I guess another thing I feel strongly about is the fact that there even might be, I mean, I'm just 'me', and if it seems like the other is going to be so picky, or that I have to follow some formula (retch) then the ebb and flow isn't genuine. But I did ask for pointers, so ,,, (also, most of you know what my intimacy interest is...) so I am not fishing in choppy waters, if you get my drift. Any advice--be nice, guys!

Am not one to give you advice Ro but I never mail someone on my WVM list. All they are doing is viewing me. They may read something they dont like or see/read something to put them off and I personally think its pointless.

How then are we supposed to meet anyone? Somebody has to make a move!!
romanticman4u: You should email them, never judge a book by its cover till you se whats inside, you might find someone with a wonderful heart.
I don't mean to be confrontational but to say "you should email them" is a stressful way to give orders. I went to a seminar to learn how to avoid the stress words which are "must, have to, should". If someone uses those words on me I get a bit defensive. I'd rather say "you might want to email them", "you could email them", or something to that effect. It's not rude to not email someone that emails me if I have my own set of criteria for emailing back. Unless you are a regular poster with someone, most people don't expect a return email..

I agree, if someone has viewed my profile and not contacted me I take that they decided not to and are not actually interested.
vinny1967: I was only making the point of the WVM list. It's just my opinion and I wouldn't do it.
If I ws searching I would mail people that I had searched for or caught my attention in the forums
Thank you Vinny--I get it. I know you are trying to help. Seems I get a lot of rejects, what am I, a New York writer or something? (out here on the coast we say "fish or cut bait, one of the two") I wish I could get a friend, you know. gettin' older, you know... (sigh) thanx vinny

From my experience Ro it happens when we least expect it and putting pressure on ourselves doesn't help.......it hinders. Just let it happen. Your a good man.
Glatlol: Problem is hun no one else feels that way
From my experience Y it happens when we least expect it and putting pressure on ourselves doesn't help.......it hinders. Just let it happen. Your a good woman.

missha72: I personally e mail who ever writes to me politely and tell them there not my type ... after all isn't that the right polite thing to do ???
I feel no such sense of obligation where the contact is either suspect or quite obviously a scammer. Certainly, not if I know nothing of them from the forums...even if I know they have been following a thread, helps me to know they are real. If I establish they are real, I always reply with a brief polite message back.

People are generally at their most vulnerable when they're contacting you (assuming it's a genuine contact and not a scammer). Whether a person respects that or not speaks volumes to their character.

Hello vinny ...What if they see something they like, but too shy to make contact?...As CS states in their guidelines of using this site, viewing someone, is akin to looking at the person from across the room. If each looks and likes what they see, one or other might make a move to initiate conversation or just to say hello. We really can't assume anything one way or another, without risking being wrong
Having said that, I never contact anyone unknown to me, who appears on my WVM list.

Well there is that, but I have no time for the preening and fluttering of eyelashes with consistent viewing to catch someones attention
Its a lot easier to mail someone on here than it is to walk accross a room to say hi. Rejection is far easier by mail
