see I responded back. I am a woman of my word

I respond to everyone who messages me, and that isn't many...lol

Like others said I always try to respond. Sometimes I read the email and do not respond til I have more time. Had someone see I read their email who emailed me again just today as I left Sunday morning and came back tonight. But they got a reply tonight.

Like others said the more you are know on the forums help. People get to see who you are vs. that small bio which is very hard for most of us to write anyway.

The pic not being posted or using other pics is a major turn off for some people(see you got yours up). I had no way of posting a pic when I first joined. But after I hung around the forums a bit I got a few emails without it. When the pic went up they drastically increased.

I have been the first person to send the email many times. I get about 1 in 3 to respond, but alot of them say no thanks, and others are chats that got started here in the forums but took a personal turn(good not flaming). One lady I was checking her pic as she was using something other than her picture and I saw a picture that I know where the original is hanging. So I had to ask about it. Several emails passed back and forth.

Maybe a part of your problem is to broad of an email. Something like "You interested" will get no responses. But if you get into you and see if you can find things you and tha other person likes to do in their bio. I like gaming. Several emails to me have been about that. Most think I am a gamer, but gaming is the term used for gambling at casinos. It struck up alot of chats though.

Later, John
