Ok, here's the thing. I honestly don't know what you women are looking for exactly in a message. When I read someone's profile (and I do read the entire thing), if I like what I see, I'll probably ask something about one of your interests that I'm actually curious about. I'm sure this gets done a lot but WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?? I'm showcasing interest in YOU therefor, I will ask something that pertains to YOU and is a part of YOUR life. So many women carry that "err not original" attitude and then wonder why they haven't "found" anything (I'm not saying that's you, singmesweet). I'd be willing to bet that you've ignored or turned down countless perfectly good men just because their first message wasn't as original as you wanted it to be and if you ask me, that is an incredibly stupid reason to deny someone the chance of getting to know you (then again, if that's the attitude you carry, you're probably not worth it anyway).

Here's a hint: when they ask you those oh so unoriginal questions, answer them (but only if you actually like their profile) and then ask them something back so you can actually have a reason to think that man is ''unoriginal'' should his answers not be what you're looking for.

Here's another idea, if you're so original (which your disdain for unoriginal messages clearly implies), why don't YOU start the conversation if you like a man's profile? Or are you with the always original "men should be the ones to do it" thought process?

I feel like it should only take a woman one thing to reply to a man's message and that's a interesting profile. I'd feel pretty stupid if a seemingly awesome girl messaged me and I turned her down just because the message was unoroginal.

If all you get is ''hey what's up'', then, I get it but if someone asks you something about what you do in your life and why you like doing it, that's not unoriginal, that's showing interest.
