I'll usually respond as well if they're not rude and I can understand what they're saying. But, they will get the same effort in my response as they put into the email to begin with. Chances of a "hi how r u" kind of start going very far is pretty little, as those guys don't usually seem to have much to say. I get that Sing...What works for me isn't going to work for everyone, but I feel this way about it...I joined the site to meet people and no matter who contacts me or how they do it, I am going to check them out... I view putting my profile up as an invitation for any and all to make contact.....The deleting, reporting, and blocking features are available if I need them.... So qualifying or deciding who I will or won't answer prior to first contact is not something I feel a need to do... I pretty much agreed with you in my response  .
But yeah, I give those guys a chance to get a conversation going. If it doesn't happen, oh well. If there's something in their profile that catches my interest, I'll try as well. |

Chances of a "hi how r u" kind of start going very far is pretty little, as those guys don't usually seem to have much to say. Exactly my thought. If they don't have much to say, we're probably not going to do a lot of talking, which means things will fizzle out pretty quickly. I don't expect a long email to start. When I contact someone, it's because something in their profile, or something they said in the forums caught my interest. So, I try to start a conversation based on that. When I had something in my profile, I'd expect the same. I'd give them a chance even if they just said hi, but those tend to fizzle out pretty quickly. |

If they say something about what they saw in my profile, that's a conversation starter. But if all they say is "Hey, want 2 get 2 no u" that's not only a complete turn-off but it gives no indication they even read a single word of my profile. In that case, no, I don't "want 2 get 2 no" them. At all. I hate to say this, but it feels kind of like the online equivalent of some drunk dude in a bar tottering over to my table, leering at me, and then puking on my shoes.  Just not a good impression.

That's one of the things I love about you Sing!... If you're looking for a romance, I say look!  ...I think being receptive to all first contacts is a main ingredient for making a dating site connection...Remind me someday and I'll tell you how things unfolded with me and ManO!!
