Hi all, first time messaging here in the forum and I'm quite new to all this so please excuse me if I get things a little wrong. Just finding my feet.

I'm just wondering how some people write their first message. I mean, do you just come straight out with what you want to do, I find that a little rude, and as a single guy most probably blocked or ignored. I kind of go for the polite hi, how are you, you look amazing, chit chat kind of message but don't seem to be getting anywhere, just wondering if I'm sounding a bit wet or if needed to be a bit more risque? What's a good first message?

There’s no right answer to this I’m afraid, it all depends on who ya message and their current state of mind to get a response.

Just keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll get there eventually 👍🏻

One that shows you have read their profile, explains what you have to offer that matches what they are looking for and what it is you are looking for.

This will never work.

Here is my garenteed formula.

Either go with just "hi"

But preferably "want to meet now?" Or "what are you into"

The messaging isn't that important along as you include as many cock pics as possible. Follow it up with a friend request

If you don't get a reply resent the same message. Repeatedly!

The first line is what can be read without opening it. Don't waste those words!

If your message is tailored to them, brief, polite, and encourages a response out of curiosity or appreciation for your humour/intelligence/*insert quality here* you're already ahead of the game.

The vast majority of Inbox mail is so low effort you should be able to rise above it simply by using both hands to type.

People still might not be attracted to your profile. Go to social events instead. Honestly it's so much more rewarding.

Dear OP, you read their profile, glean whatever you find genuinely interesting from their descriptions and perhaps from their photos (not just photos of the person but anything in the backdrop which may give an insight to them).

Look for whatever piques your interest - it could be a reference to something that they are interested in or they have written, or something witty and humourous perhaps.

Be lighthearted, add a little humour, make your opening gambit stand out, refer to something from their profile and create a focus of discussion from it. Ensure your message isn't passive and 'closed' otherwise it may not warrant a response, instead make it open-ended. If however you don't want to ask a general question then give them an impetus to acknowledge something you've inferred: for example, something like - "I noticed the Carnations in your photo. They rarely thrive in the shade, wouldn't you agree?". Or something like that anyway.

And then...be ready for disappointment. No matter how handcrafted your message is it will linger amongst the 100s in their inboxes. As it's often said it's a numbers game on here; the imbalance of men versus women.

Yes a lot of people have the same problem, one polite respectful message is a mere drop in the ocean of blunt filthy messages that flood the inboxes of people.

I was actually so thankful the other day when a woman replied”hey sorry but your not my type” to which I replied “no problem thanks for replying” and that was that.

I actually think first messages are actually easier than people think. Mainly because what you put in them isn't exactly critical. Why? Because most of the time as long as people see a reasonable message the first thing they do is check out the profile.

So I think first, nail your profile and pictures. Then simply avoid the standard red flag flags, icks and crassness. No straight in with heavy fuck talk or I want to do this to you. Don't smash in with an attached dick pick (genrally rule of thumb this doesn't go down the best with most people). No obvious cut and paste jobs or lengthy opening messages (for the sake of the readers and for yours as the message may not even be read).

So simply avoid the above and keep it repectful and light hearted. But the content it's self is a doddle. Because be it a simple hello or a little more what you write is not so important providing you don't put something off putting in because people will make judgment on your profile mainly.

Also remember sometimes timing is simply a factor in success or not. I think many a time people are unlucky with their timing.

Read the room, but be authentic.

It’s very rare I’ll get into any kind of sexual talk until we’ve met even if I know the person is fine with it. I’m much more interested in getting to know the person and like to do this slowly. On rare occasions I do though and it’s well received. Every connection on here is unique so the messaging is never the same.

Anyone who tries to look for a formulae or follows others advice (even a woman's advice) how to talk to a woman isn’t being their self.

So ignore the above advice

Messaging sex talk with what "you" want to do to someone who's face you haven't even seen is really cringe, that's a straight block from me.

Messages should be talking to them like humans not holes for your disposal.

I always read profiles and will message those who i like the look of, will pick out something from it to chat about.

If they have very little in their profile, I'll send a shorter message asking for a chat to find out more.

I'm always polite, never send any filth in the first message (leave that till the 3rd or 4th lol kidding)

I'll always send a face pic, and in truth all the above is null and void if they don't find you attractive.

The only ‘good’ first message, is the one which gets replied to….

It all comes down to the person’s profile, and the vibe it gives off, as to how I make an approach;

If it’s the usual “I’m a xxx year old woman looking for men”……I just don’t bother. They can’t be bothered to fill out a description of themselves, so they’re probably a fake.

If their profile is full of negativity, as in; “I don’t want this, I’m not looking for that, I only meet in clubs, face pic with first message or no reply, many hoops on firs to jump through before I even consider putting you on the final 100 hotlist, blah blah blah…..” just don’t waste your time

Filter the wheat from the chaff, blocking unsavoury profiles means your local updates are only filled with potential matches! There’s plenty of nice, normal, decent ladies in here, you will start to recognise the signs, and then the best piece of advice I can give is: only ever message those you feel a genuine possible match with.

Also; just be yourself in what you say

Try and reference something in their profile so they know you have at least read it - which you should do anyway.

But as others have said, there is no magic formula, it really depends on who you are messaging, how many messages they receive etc.

First some will say go to a club some say waste of time. That really depends on the individual, some guys thrive, some don't. Personally I prefer the club environment as a lone male (i started as a single guy and go clubs alone occasionally). I prefer and find better results with first introductions being in person. In person my nature and personality is communicated far better. Likewise their nature and reactions are communicate far better. So some of us find we thrive far better in the live world than the online world. Some guys clearly don't. I think you may have an idea of what would work best but you'll never fully know unless you try.

As others have said its really a simple as just going. But do your research. Picking the right club/night and knowing all the practical information you need can really help make a great night.

Also have you considered an organised social event?

So, first of all, select your target(s) carefully. Don't message any woman who's got an obvious attitude problem.

If her profile is basically a list of rules, demanding, attention-seeking or sexist, then don't waste your time - let the more desperate guys message her with shit messages.

If the profile is new, has face pics and/or very sexual content or wording, beware - it's probably fake, so don't bother. We all know that that's not how women work.

If her profile has text like "msg for more info", "I dunno what 2 rite", "fill in later", "message me and find out", "horny girl looking for fun", etc, then don't bother. If she can't spend 5 mins writing a profile, she's probably not going to be interested in the time-consuming process of messaging you back and to.

Anyway, so to message, I employ about three different methods, all of which work on different people at different times. Generally though, have a read through the profile and look for unique or interesting things in it. When you message her, bring that unique thing up. As well as that, say something that's different, that she's probably never read before that ends with a question.

So for example; "I'm hungry and your cakes look super tasty! Have you been baking long? I used to make cakes with my grandmother. I remember the smells, oh, and a time when I dropped eggs all over the floor. Even after she cleaned it, our shoes would get stuck to the floor for days after! She was fuming. Anyway, enough about me, what accidents did you have when you were a child?"

Something like that that really gets her beautiful female brain working with a really imaginative question at the end.

The first few words should be something bizarre. Avoid "hello" because she's going to get hundreds of those fuckers, and end it with a question, always.

Now, sometimes, because women are overwhelmed with messages, they can genuinely miss your quality message. It's ok to message again some time later but do not message a third time.

Don't be afraid to block ignorers. This serves as an unfortunate reminder to women that if they want quality, they need to take action before it's too late. Remember that you are special, you're crafting special messages, and these are in demand. If she wants quality, she must act. This also prevents them from coming up in your news list thing and removes the temptation for you to message them again.

Good luck Mr!

Don’t message without fulfilling the ‘would like to meet’ criteria. Wasting your time and theirs.

Don’t be rude or crude on your first messages, you’ll know when it becomes appropriate to be spicy.

A face and body pic which isn’t set to be automatically removed will set you apart from hundreds of competing messages.

I’ve had connections and meets that have blossomed from messaging about common interests, discussing species of jellyfish (a tattoo of one), complimenting pictures, talking holidays, club / party experiences, discussing Forum posts…

I connected with a lady who has become one of my dearest playmates when I light-heartedly teased her about spelling her profile name wrong in her native language…

Equally I haven’t received replies from messages to many profiles who I thought would be a fantastic match - you have to remember that single ladies get hundreds of messages every day. Yours is just lost in their crap infested inbox…

One message I received is both the worst and funniest rolled into one. It was brief but impatient and employed the use of "text speak" which I personally dislike immensely. Only five letters all in capitals.

"U FK NW"

I assume this translates as you fuck now! I've added the exclamation mark as I'm still unsure as to whether it was a question, a demand or an order.

Treat an opening message as if it were a job application. Would you send an application with just U EMPLY NW on it? Of course not. Just a brief outline of what's lead you to message them in the first place. follow this with a little about yourself and what you can bring to the party so to speak. Not a huge essay, just a brief intro. A face pic is always a good bonus (never ask for the persons face pic if you've not sent yours with the message). Avoid adding a pic of your cock (or, as sometimes happens, a random pic of someone elses that you've nicked off a Brazillian karaoke themed porn site).

Be honest, open, friendly and accepting. That's the way forward

"One message I received is both the worst and funniest rolled into one. It was brief but impatient and employed the use of "text speak" which I personally dislike immensely. Only five letters all in capitals.

Treat it as a job interview... Phew, I don't think half of the women here could afford me or even cope with me as a member of staff! I'd wear them out within a week! 😂

I get hundreds of hey how are you you look amazing chit chat style messages every week.

I don't want or like small talk, and even if I did then repeating it a thousand times a month would soon end that. I know how I look. I chat with friends, or people that bring an interesting topic to the table. Repeating the same bland nonsense to hundreds of strangers seem a really weird way to choose to spend time.

It might meet the criteria for polite without context. But it's not gonna spark anything resembling interest by itself.

People want different things.

Read profiles. See what they want from there.

"Hi all, first time messaging here in the forum and I'm quite new to all this so please excuse me if I get things a little wrong. Just finding my feet.

I'm just wondering how some people write their first message. I mean, do you just come straight out with what you want to do, I find that a little rude, and as a single guy most probably blocked or ignored. I kind of go for the polite hi, how are you, you look amazing, chit chat kind of message but don't seem to be getting anywhere, just wondering if I'm sounding a bit wet or if needed to be a bit more risque? What's a good first message?"

Read the profile

Message accordingly

The end

"So, first of all, select your target(s) carefully. Don't message any woman who's got an obvious attitude problem.

If her profile is basically a list of rules, demanding, attention-seeking or sexist, then don't waste your time - let the more desperate guys message her with shit messages.

If the profile is new, has face pics and/or very sexual content or wording, beware - it's probably fake, so don't bother. We all know that that's not how women work.

If her profile has text like "msg for more info", "I dunno what 2 rite", "fill in later", "message me and find out", "horny girl looking for fun", etc, then don't bother. If she can't spend 5 mins writing a profile, she's probably not going to be interested in the time-consuming process of messaging you back and to.

Anyway, so to message, I employ about three different methods, all of which work on different people at different times. Generally though, have a read through the profile and look for unique or interesting things in it. When you message her, bring that unique thing up. As well as that, say something that's different, that she's probably never read before that ends with a question.

So for example; "I'm hungry and your cakes look super tasty! Have you been baking long? I used to make cakes with my grandmother. I remember the smells, oh, and a time when I dropped eggs all over the floor. Even after she cleaned it, our shoes would get stuck to the floor for days after! She was fuming. Anyway, enough about me, what accidents did you have when you were a child?"

Something like that that really gets her beautiful female brain working with a really imaginative question at the end.

The first few words should be something bizarre. Avoid "hello" because she's going to get hundreds of those fuckers, and end it with a question, always.

Now, sometimes, because women are overwhelmed with messages, they can genuinely miss your quality message. It's ok to message again some time later but do not message a third time.

Don't be afraid to block ignorers. This serves as an unfortunate reminder to women that if they want quality, they need to take action before it's too late. Remember that you are special, you're crafting special messages, and these are in demand. If she wants quality, she must act. This also prevents them from coming up in your news list thing and removes the temptation for you to message them again.

Good luck Mr!"

This is epic, do you teach lol! Thanks everyone x I don't think I'm too far away with what I'm doing. As seems to be the feeling I guess I'm in a minority group trying to get noticed. I'll take all your advice and add it to the mix. Thanks everyone, I can chill out a bit now, what a great bunch you all are xxx

I used to do electronics tutorials on YouTube! I've done software tuition also. Electronics, software and women. They all go hand in hand. Bah!

You are indeed a minority in an massively oversupplied market, but remember this; by far of the majority of our competitors have zero game.

You would do if it was for real. I'm unemployable! I don't listen, I'm a nightmare.

As the vetter for my wife and I.

1. Something to indicate you have read our profile.

The rest isn't exact science but show some personality. You can be direct and sexual but come across as a mature man not a fuck boy.

Oh... for us don't talk about how great you are at oral sex and how much you love it. That's strictly us and we don't really know why lol.

Remember to write a first draft... and a second... A 100th draft if need be. EVERY word MUST be precise... The final piece: - perfect.

People expect CLARITY... FLAWLESS diction... Grade 'A'-standard use of the English language.

Study literature... The great works of... (etc).
