Do men really expect a response to no pic, no interests, a few stats, and the classic three word email "how are you"what


i used to reply to those when i first joined these so-called dating sites.

i figured it was just people who really lacked in social skills and were at least trying to have conversation.

since then, i've found that most of them want one specific response from you and, if they don't get it, turn to insults and cruelty, so i stopped replying to almost all random email.

I don't know. I found that lots of pics, lots of interests, all kinds of stats, and the ability to write a humorous and interesting e-mail won't make a bit of difference -- they're not going to reply regardless. So why put out a lot of effort?



I hear ya Lexflowerforyou
Thing is...when a guy takes the time to create an interesting profile, I figure the guy might actually like himself and his life and thats what I'm looking for. And if he's over his ex and he likes to fish...well then he might just be a keeperdrinker

That's why my profile is 1480 pages long -- whatever anybody might need to know is in there somewhere!

But I learned one thing very quickly -- no matter how well I write (and just let me add, for the 5793rd time, that I had two books published last year, and there is a third almost ready for release!), no matter how good, how funny, how relevant, how anything, an e-mail is, I will NEVER get a reply.

So I just don't send first e-mails out anymore. No point, really.

depending on who is doing the viewing, yes.

I want to view Lexy's profile... all the time. I'd like to view Lexy, period. Full monty style. I've read the whole thing, took me about 30 minutes. About once a month I go back and read the new stuff, as he does add on to it.

Thank you.

It is a bit scattered, and, as has been pointed out to me, a bit self-contradictory in places. That's to be expected when you write something over a period of a year and a half, and have the attention span of a pelican on meth.

Lexy you haven't seen that flick the Full Monty, huh? laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh But the other definition is accurate too. I was going for a double entendre.

Damn, I thought you'd be all blushing and..... stuff..

Thats good to know. I've responded for the same reason. Figured the guy was at least trying and what the heck. I haven't had the insults and cruelty but I do notice that the emails go from three words to two to one word to an emoticon and then just nudges every day from then on. I guess they just run out of steam..laugh
