A study on feminine interest and subsequent shunning or "What do you expect from meeeee!"

So aside from this place I'm on a few dating websites and I really don't understand you ladies on any of them.

I could easily say that of all the girls who show some interest in me any way/shape or form (winks etc) about..mmmmmmmm...well if I had to put a figure on it I'd say...aboot 0% respond to the messages I send.

Now I know people go on about boring first messages (although I always try to jazz mine up a little)and what not but if you're interested in someone I would assume you'd be bit more lenient right?

So I suppose I want to know you ladies views on this. Are you all really expecting a first message that will bathe you in holy enlightenment? Cus frankly you're asking to much, just accept a hi :P.

It depends on what we get and who is sending that first message.

Perhaps you could copy some of yours into here - removing any identifying characteristics of the recipients - and we'd be better able to forumulate (intended) some response that's more meaningful for you. We can't tell how good your profiles were elsewhere, but could look at yours here.

We also can't say how well matched you may be to your desired females. Look forward to seeing some of those message contents that you've sent out.

Why are you addressing women as if they all think the same way.

I'm sorry but i don't accept just a 'hi' on any site I'm on. Basically, if you want me to invest my time in you then i expect you to invest your time equally. I want to know that you're interested in me and not simply casting out a wide net in hopes of getting a response from someone you message. That goes on here, a casual sex site, or a dating site. The message need not be war and peace, darlin, but i need to no it's meant for me.

"just accept a hi :P. "

Really?

Before I set my filters to block single guys I used to get around a hundred messages a day, most of them just one liners such as a "hi, how are you?". Did they stand out from the crowd? Did they make me want to look at the profile and reply? He'll no! They just got deleted.

The ratio of guys to girls on here and on dating sites means that you need to do something to grab our interest

I'm not saying I'd use a simple "hi" ever. I mean if I'm sending a message off the cuff without knowing there's any recipricol interest then I'd definitely try to use something in the girl's profile to make it a bit more substantial. But if a girl messaged me after I'd given her a wink (for example) then I wouldn't really be too worried about how much they're writing as such. I've already shown I'm interested so I'm not really expecting them to have to send a message that is trying to "hook me".

The "you ladies" is not meant to be condescending, if you're offended that I'm generalising well I'm sorry but the nature of the problem means I have to. There are women out there who will not act in the above manner but in general its what I've observed.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Do you tailor your messages to the woman you are messaging? I don't mean the ones who make you jump through hoops, I mean the ones who clearly state what they want and what they'll reply to. Because I get a great deal of messages from men who can't accommodate, live 100s of miles away, and who don't have any public pics. Frankly, their profiles let them down too so I am not going to reply.

Any guy who fulfils my (very lenient) criteria will at least get a reply, even if its no thanks. And its not the message that decides me - its the profile, the pics, and the opportunity.

Also, consider timing. If I am on my period, about to go away for a week, or working hard, I'll have no time. So I am happy to say 'I would love to meet but can we make it next week/another time?' and they lose interest. Too many men want to meet there and then and sometimes women cannot do that, especially women with children.

Lastly, have you considered getting to know people through socials? Getting yourself out there and known to the crown serious about meeting is a huge boost.

I probably should have been a little clearer but this is more for "traditional" dating sites rather than on here. Obviously there are a lot more constraints to consider on a swinging site such as you say .

I think I didn't write my point so well. In the scenario I'm talking about it would be the equivalent of you winking at me (obviously wouldn't happen right)and then when I send you a message you ignore it. I can understand there would be reasons for the above happening but it happens so often that its left me befuddled. And I swear I'm not writing offensive first messages lol

Ah well, I can't speak for them, as I've never been on one. My ex-FB was though and his criteria were incredible. Small age range, no kids, within 5 miles of his location, had to be model type body and face. Then he moaned he never got any hits. I'm not saying you are the same by the way. Just bear in mind that women do have lives outside dating sites and maybe meeting is not as important to them as you.

Are you willing to just have a meet , last minute even ?

On a dating site, your message and your ability to sell yourself via your profile are as important, if not more do, as on here. Really, i look at the profile and pics on a dating site to see if there's a reasonable chance that he is what I'm looking for. Then i look at the message and i don't tend to reply to a hi, how are you kind of message. It just doesn't stand out, catch my interest, or create the type of tension you're looking to create. We may do that in person, because we have body language and other nonverbal cues to aid us, and we can again swiftly follow that up with something fitting the situation at the time which we aren't really able to do via textual communication on a website

Wouldn't the same standard of message apply to both type of sites?

I think regardless of what site you are on your message should show to some degree that you have read that persons profile ~ it doesn't have to be a 'war & peace' epic but I will generally respond to someone who has done this.

Hope that helps!

What we want in a message is different every time. If it's from a well written profile with pictures we need very little just enough to know they are interested.

One word emails almost always get deleted unless we are friends and we mean real friends.

If a profile has little or no real information then we would expect a detailed email so we have something to go off

I'll try get this straight lol.

I fully accept that in general messages should be thought out and need to get the other persons attention.

However I'm talking about the messages I send in response to a girl already having shown interest in me on the site. In my mind I would expect a higher proportion of these to respond to my messages, this is not the case though and that is what I dont understand.

I am surprised frankly if they have already shown some kind of interest, as you are obviously quite capable of holding a normal conversation, unlike many on here! If I winked at someone, 'Thanks for the wink, would you like to chat?' would be a perfectly acceptable response, even if a witty one liner would be better, I don't agree with making it hard for people. So I agree, if they winked, they should respond, it's wierd.

If they've winked, yes. On those sites, as he mentioned, there's often a 'meet me' function. You're given three choices to click on, yes no or maybe. Clicking on maybe, however, is treated by the website in the same way clicking yes is, the other user is notified that 'such and such wants to meet you. Op, those functions do have the ability for users to view the profile before deciding but most do so only based in the pic or pics shiwn. Perhaps some of them are clicking the maybe option and then once you message they look at your profile and decide otherwise. That's why a simple 'hi' type of message will rarely work on any website. There are too many variables to account for.

Haha yup I'd agree with you there but the annoying thing is that by them saying they're interested, and me sending them a message, surely we are two people who DO agree.

Just never plays out like that and thats what's a little frustrating. I mean If I have no interest in talking to someone I wouldnt want to meet then I wouldnt give them a wink right? (I'm excluding this site from that statement as I've already mentioned I'm a shy lil guy)

So you wouldn't give a person you're interested in a bit more leeway to see if there's a connection? I mean if they're boring they're boring, but they might just not be bang on the mark with the first message.

We can only talk about this from a swingers site point of view as neither of us has ever used a dating site.

As stated above we may send a wink out of curiosity again will use your profile as an example.

It tells us nothing about you really and lacks personality. A wink from us would be in hope that if you message back would give us a better understanding of who you are. A wink is our leeway.

If they've winked, yes. On those sites, as he mentioned, there's often a 'meet me' function. You're given three choices to click on, yes no or maybe. Clicking on maybe, however, is treated by the website in the same way clicking yes is, the other user is notified that 'such and such wants to meet you. Op, those functions do have the ability for users to view the profile before deciding but most do so only based in the pic or pics shiwn. Perhaps some of them are clicking the maybe option and then once you message they look at your profile and decide otherwise. That's why a simple 'hi' type of message will rarely work on any website. There are too many variables to account for. "

This is actually something I hadn't considered...although that means my issue is my face and not my personality lol.

Obviously not. Your face is getting you yes and maybe clicks. It's your profile and messages that are letting you down. Sell yourself via your profile and try a quick one line message that isn't 'hi' and see how things improve. Even something like 'i think I've stood where you are in your pic' or 'that's a cheeky grin, what were you thinking about' will get more convo going than 'hi, how are you'

"I could easily say that of all the girls who show some interest in me any way/shape or form (winks etc) about..mmmmmmmm...well if I had to put a figure on it I'd say...aboot 0% respond to the messages I send.

Now I know people go on about boring first messages (although I always try to jazz mine up a little)and what not but if you're interested in someone I would assume you'd be bit more lenient right?

"

I think this is tge key bit. I get the impression that you think a hint of interest means that you don't need to make an effort and suspect that the recipient assumes thst you aren't interested

This is all good advice. I know my profile on here is weak but my others aren't (It just doesn't generally get a girl going if she reads about how big a geek you are lol). I'm probably a bit too literal in my messages and maybe should be a bit more out there

Though it'll attract the girl who either is a geek herself or finds geeks attractive. Be yourself, sell yourself and you'll do fine. And yes, messages just a smudge outside the box might work better.

That's true here, to a point. Here is that plus what you're into, interested in, experienced in as well as the physical and logistics, i.e. can you accommodate. Dating is different and girls in general want to know the person a little more deeply than on here. Personality needs to be shown in both places, just maybe in different ways.

Thats the bit I find hard, you've got to balance saying something interesting (when often you don't have too much to go on), ask questions to keep the convo going but then not say anything too obscure or make it sound like you're playing 20 questions. On top of that you have to make it sound like you are an interesting person as well!!! I wish I was more confident at chatting bars, that would be waaayy easier lol

I think only messaging people. Online. Or new users , most sites have that type of thing to see them .

The following stuff does work , I know , used to send the cut and paste on a dating site until it got stopped as a cut and paste , on a Sunday night , and usually got dates every night

Remember some women will send you back offensive messages or just ignore you , or block you , it only takes 1 girl from the messages to message you back

A good line is

Hi ( insert name here )

I just had to write to you and tell you about me,. I I looked at your profile and I thought I would find you interesting .

Now I am sure by now you are fed up with messages that you get explaining the guy has 5 kids,but good news as I might have a job interview next week .

Anyway about me I am 45 Tall and confident. I am very comfortable in my own skin. I am looking for someone outside my circle of fiends to date. My time is precious to me. I won't waste your time and I expect the same in return

I suggest that you look at my profile ( I know you will like it) and message me back ,

I like to meet for.a quick cup of tea in costa , usually 10 minutes, just to check out that you are the beautiful woman in the profile. If I like you we can arrange another date .

Jason

First date looke shocked, ask how old pictures were , remind them only 10 minutes get there 10 mins early and by your own drink do not offer them one .

When you go look in eyes , put hand to cheek hold head gently kiss , then say I will think about it .

Make next date the next day . Send message saying I am going to play pool or bowling do you want to tag along. Get there early and buy your own drink never offer a meal or a quiet country pub , remember the more chance you have to speak the more chance you have to screw it up .

Remember remember the less time talking to a girl the less chance you have to screw it up,

To message a girl here if I was single

Hi whatever name is .

I had to say , hello. And say you definitely look the type of girl I usually go for.

About me I am confident with myself, just looking for friends outside my normal circle of friends someone who is just mine

I realized how a girl like to be touched, when I saw a beautiful woman walk towards me in a silk negligee, with how it rubbed gently over her body as she walked.

Anyway my time is precious check out my profile and message me you won't be disappointed

I suggest a quick cup of tea in costa coffee for 10 minutes , to see if I like you and take it form there

Jason

As always my advice is get a friend who is good with women , and forget everything you think will work and do stuff you think won't

List of arsehole things to say or do on date which really get you laid

What job do you have , ( answer ) so you were too short to be a hobbit then.

You hair is sticking up,

Is that a wart on your nose

Walking down the street , you see street furniture and just change direction so she will walk into it .

She goes to hold your hand , say don't touch the goods , especially when walking down street , keep moving hand away when she tries to hold your hand.

If she opens door for you say oh my god I could never date a woman who opens doors for me

Always call her babes , or other such name if she is short say when at bar do you want a children's drink

If you switch your phone of at night or at home, just tell her you are switching your phone off . She will wonder what your doing when your phone is off when she calls .

Go to a pub with a chatty bar lady , who is young and good looking , flirt outrageously with her with the date present

if she is looking at other guys in the bar, or even just glances , say to her , you could go out with him if I don't like you or say I think you two would make a good couple . You know when you have to annoying pissed guy in the pub, that chats up you girl when you go to the toilet say they make a good couple

Keep away from restaurants if you have a crapy job description ( I say I am a window cleaner ) and she asks say you know on Telly , ( pause) when you see the program, at 9 pm (pause) on channel 5 ( pause ) on a Monday (pause ) well whenever there is a naked scene my butt is the butt double

Gay pubs are the best , especially with cabaret or a acid drag queen doing music. Or a live band

Touche..well what the hell. Here is my dating site profile as it stands. It is due an update I think.

So if I had to describe my self I would say I'm an alternative/geeky/sporty/sciencey/ artsy kind of guy. Yup it's true, I have a lot of eggs in far too many baskets. In one day I can enjoy reading up on some history, nerding out with a graphic novel, kicking ass at hockey or attempting to paint. I'm pretty much interested in everything really. I enjoy being outdoors and going for walks, I'm into astronomy (my telescope is preeeeeeetttyy big ladies)* and I like photography too. Music wise I'm definitely an alternate type, my music ranges from classical to indie to heavier rock with teh whole spectrum in between. At the minute I'm loving Arcade Fire's new album, 'tis darn good.

I guess I'm looking for a girl who is into some of the stuff above. I think if you can accept someone with geeky quirks (whatever makes you happy right?) then we'll get along just fine!

I can only comment from a swingers point of view as I've never been on dating sites.

But from the gist of your posts on this thread OP and your somewhat exasperation that people haven't replied in the way you want or expect them too, it seems you are taking it all a little too seriously.

If someone winks, or clicks the interested to meet button or similar, it doesn't mean they have to correspond further. They may have searched and found someone else better suited or have just clicked you on a whim and then gone off the idea.

If I shop online I sometimes click on a dress and place it in the 'basket'. Then, shock horror, I don't actually go ahead with the purchase. Sometimes I find something else and sometimes I think no its not really 100% what I want, ill wait. Apply that analogy here and it may give a little insight

The reason I've gone so far into it is that with a slimmer profile I was getting responses from girls who I really had nothing in common with. I figured it was better to throw it all on the table (although it isn't, just some of it) and then that would winnow out getting messages from 18 yo asking if I wanted to partaaaayyyy

Messaging can be hard work and I actually find it harder on dating sites - very fickle things. Handy to have a profile there as I still haven't successfully clone myself yet but won't ever beat one on one conversation in person.

Anyway about me I am 45 Tall and confident. I am very comfortable in my own skin. I am looking for someone outside my circle of fiends to date. My time is precious to me. I won't waste your time and I expect the same in return

I suggest that you look at my profile ( I know you will like it) and message me back ,

I like to meet for.a quick cup of tea in costa , usually 10 minutes, just to check out that you are the beautiful woman in the profile. If I like you we can arrange another date .

Jason

First date looke shocked, ask how old pictures were , remind them only 10 minutes get there 10 mins early and by your own drink do not offer them one .

When you go look in eyes , put hand to cheek hold head gently kiss , then say I will think about it .

Make next date the next day . Send message saying I am going to play pool or bowling do you want to tag along. Get there early and buy your own drink never offer a meal or a quiet country pub , remember the more chance you have to speak the more chance you have to screw it up .

Remember remember the less time talking to a girl the less chance you have to screw it up,

To message a girl here if I was single

Hi whatever name is .

I had to say , hello. And say you definitely look the type of girl I usually go for.

About me I am confident with myself, just looking for friends outside my normal circle of friends someone who is just mine

I realized how a girl like to be touched, when I saw a beautiful woman walk towards me in a silk negligee, with how it rubbed gently over her body as she walked.

Anyway my time is precious check out my profile and message me you won't be disappointed

I suggest a quick cup of tea in costa coffee for 10 minutes , to see if I like you and take it form there

Jason

As always my advice is get a friend who is good with women , and forget everything you think will work and do stuff you think won't

List of arsehole things to say or do on date which really get you laid

What job do you have , ( answer ) so you were too short to be a hobbit then.

You hair is sticking up,

Is that a wart on your nose

Walking down the street , you see street furniture and just change direction so she will walk into it .

She goes to hold your hand , say don't touch the goods , especially when walking down street , keep moving hand away when she tries to hold your hand.

If she opens door for you say oh my god I could never date a woman who opens doors for me

Always call her babes , or other such name if she is short say when at bar do you want a children's drink

If you switch your phone of at night or at home, just tell her you are switching your phone off . She will wonder what your doing when your phone is off when she calls .

Go to a pub with a chatty bar lady , who is young and good looking , flirt outrageously with her with the date present

if she is looking at other guys in the bar, or even just glances , say to her , you could go out with him if I don't like you or say I think you two would make a good couple . You know when you have to annoying pissed guy in the pub, that chats up you girl when you go to the toilet say they make a good couple

Keep away from restaurants if you have a crapy job description ( I say I am a window cleaner ) and she asks say you know on Telly , ( pause) when you see the program, at 9 pm (pause) on channel 5 ( pause ) on a Monday (pause ) well whenever there is a naked scene my butt is the butt double

Gay pubs are the best , especially with cabaret or a acid drag queen doing music. Or a live band "

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!

Marry me??!?!?!?!

Send me your dating profile text and I'll critique it for you.

But the bow tie is the clincher!

Hmm could you handle seeing the "real me"*???

*For legal reasons I am forced to point out that real life me and dating profile me may not correspond exactly.

If you want the real life help then what option do you have. The hypothetical based on your profile here has moved things on by how much?

Touche..well what the hell. Here is my dating site profile as it stands. It is due an update I think.

"Time to crack out the narcissism.

So if I had to describe my self I would say I'm an alternative/geeky/sporty/sciencey/ artsy kind of guy. Yup it's true, I have a lot of eggs in far too many baskets. In one day I can enjoy reading up on some history, nerding out with a graphic novel, kicking ass at hockey or attempting to paint. I'm pretty much interested in everything really. I enjoy being outdoors and going for walks, I'm into astronomy (my telescope is preeeeeeetttyy big ladies)* and I like photography too. Music wise I'm definitely an alternate type, my music ranges from classical to indie to heavier rock with teh whole spectrum in between. At the minute I'm loving Arcade Fire's new album, 'tis darn good.

I guess I'm looking for a girl who is into some of the stuff above. I think if you can accept someone with geeky quirks (whatever makes you happy right?) then we'll get along just fine!

*No euphemism intended.**

I like it. x

Unfortunately that usually means that most women won't like it.... I am apparently only 1% female. Still figuring out what the other 99% is.

On reading the OPs dating profile, I can see nothing wrong with it. He's described what he likes, I'm assuming there are face pics available, you can glean from the profile the type of guy he is etc, I like it. I like people to be natural and just talk, none of this deliberate in depth broad profile aimed at attracting all women

Makes you sound desperate, and needy and you give all your info, in one go . You only have a limited amount of time to make an impression , the more info you give means it's more likely to get you turned down ..

Women like to find out things about you it's exciting for them . They don't like good little boys who tell them everythinre.

Remember the more you say the more chance you have of screwing it up .

"

totally agree with the above ^^

when you're dating that's one of the fun parts ~ getting to know someone's interests.

I like a hint of mystery about a guy it's exciting...

"So aside from this place I'm on a few dating websites and I really don't understand you ladies on any of them.

I could easily say that of all the girls who show some interest in me any way/shape or form (winks etc) about..mmmmmmmm...well if I had to put a figure on it I'd say...aboot 0% respond to the messages I send.

Now I know people go on about boring first messages (although I always try to jazz mine up a little)and what not but if you're interested in someone I would assume you'd be bit more lenient right?

So I suppose I want to know you ladies views on this. Are you all really expecting a first message that will bathe you in holy enlightenment? Cus frankly you're asking to much, just accept a hi :P.

I'm sorry but i don't accept just a 'hi' on any site I'm on. Basically, if you want me to invest my time in you then i expect you to invest your time equally. I want to know that you're interested in me and not simply casting out a wide net in hopes of getting a response from someone you message. That goes on here, a casual sex site, or a dating site. The message need not be war and peace, darlin, but i need to no it's meant for me."

I'd really love to copy paste my POF profile here but I don't think that's a good idea.

It is intentionally the worst I could do and is highly inefficent, but it amuses me greatly.

I think the key with any type of site , is update photos. Update profile even if it just remove a full stop.

On some delte the profile regularly and restart another one with a different email address

Mine used to go something like. This

Hi my name is jason,

I am here to find someone who is not within my circle of friends, I am looking for someone who is as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.

I am tall confident. Smartly dressed and am just as comfortable in a dinner suit as I am in welling tons . I am happy and comfortable in my own skinned not easily fazed by those around me .I know what I want and I know how to get it .

I am at that stage in life, wher life is good and I want someone exciting, fun and unpredictable to spend my precious free time with.

Send me a message ( you won't be disappointed) I will arrange a time to have a quick cup of coffee so if I don't like you , it won't be uncomfortable

Jason

I posted one from years ago , which worked , I used to get about 10 to 20 messages a week, from girls which turned into dates . And probably another 10 or so replies from my once aweek copy and paste message

It's quite a high contact rate

Right, first of all you are having to describe yourself. I've fiddled with it a bit. It's your profile and you have to sell you, sounding like you.

I have seen much worse on dating sites. It was a little dense and repetitive, in my opinion. I don't know if the tick boxes set out your age range etc. and then there is still that opening message and the picture.

Waffle the easiest way to not get laid . The more a bloke talks the more he screws it up every time . The more you tell a girl the less chance you have .

Most women on dating sites , have 100s if not 1000s of men all being nice , all telling them everything , about how wonderful the guy is , how much money he earns, what car he has, where he would take them , how sexy the girl is , how lucky he is that she is letting him talk to her etc etc etc

By not telling them everything , or anything about you are standing out amongst the lemmings , you become the mysterious stranger .

Mysterious stranger is sexy ,

Nothing turns a woman on more than a mysterious stranger

The place for waffle is the Sunday morning layin ,
