Whats's all this about one liners?

By (user no longer on site) OP

I have now read lots of profiles which say, 'no one liners'. Is this being written by proverbial timewasters? The point is within your profile you are able to express what you're about, your age, sexuality what you like/dislike etc etc. Apparently for quite a few on here this is not enough. On top of this some people want a 10,000 word dissertation as to why you would like to meet them. Well I for one don't understand why I have to send someone an essay for them to say 'well actually you're not for us!'. I send winks and short messages to direct people to my profile. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Gee

Well said, I don't require "War & Peace" either but I do require more than "Hey you, fancy sucking my cock"

It's just not that mentally simulating.

"Wanna fuck?" from someone with a profile that states "ask what ya wanna no, I don't bite" really doesn't moisten my panties believe it or not!

Who would have thought women on a swinging site were so discerning hey!

You lazy git pen your own messages. Or is that the point you struggle to get past the Joey type greeting!

Messages should be original and personal. You dont lick every pussy in the same way or i hope you don't and its the same with contacting people!

There is no such thing as message school but maybe there should be!!

Firstly, may I say how pleased we all are (if I may be so bold as to speak for others on here) that you have felt comfortable enough to join us in this little corner of Swingerland in order to discuss what is clearly a matter of significant concern to you.

The issue of message length is one that has caused confusion and consternation in almost exactly equal methods since the dawn of time itself (obviously this is itself a somewhat nebulous concept, but hopefully you will allow me this slight conceit in the interests of more fully addressing the wider issues that you have broought up), and the emergence of the internet as a primary method of communication within the homo sapien species has led to an exponential increase in the visibility of the problem, leading to much discussion among the intelligentsia.

There are, it is felt, two schools of thought on the issue , as postulated in the early 1990's by the legendary internet relay chat (IRC) user "Wax_Off___(Regularly)":

Always leave them wanting more.

If in doubt, stick it in.

To consider in the first instance the former of the two above-detailed methodologies, the positive characteristics are perceived as:

1. The writer can send messages to large numbers of readers in a short space of time, and is not required to think about or consider any one individual reader in particular.

2. The writer's linguistic capabilities can be obscured to avoid being filtered out by readers who prioritise the ability to communicate coherently within their criteria.

3. The reader can easily review the message in a short space of time.

However, this being an imperfect world (and if you're still reading this...I'm free tonight...please pm address), there are, surprisingly to some, some negative attributes to be considered before plunging entirely down this path:

1. The writer can send messages to large numbers of readers in a short space of time, and is not required to think about or consider any one individual reader in particular.

2. The writer's linguistic capabilities can be obscured to avoid being filtered out by readers who prioritise the ability to communicate coherently within their criteria.

3. The reader has no material with which to make a judgement on the merits of the writer.

Hang on...what was the question again?

"My point is insults are easy you need to articulate yourself rather than posting insults."

Do you actually intend to meet people on here or are you just going to moan and tantrum. Listen to what people say. Your being given some good advice. Failure to do so with give you nothing more than wankers cock from frustration and lack of meets. If your struggling to understand what people are saying ask them to simplify it!

To me a one liner is do you want a fuck, how are ya.

What ya doing.

not taking the time to read a profile and actually putting a personal reply together as long as you meet the requirements of that person, so no reply can be the same.

the brain is the largest sex organ and needs to be stimulated, well for me, and a lot of woman on here.

So if you cant write a reply with some thought then why are you on here....

The middle ground between a dissertation and a one liner is called 'a profile', was my original point!

Cough ......

Definitive coming up.

Drum Roll......

Granny Flexes her fingers.

One liners are perfectly acceptable if the content is acceptable.

To illustrate : wanna meet n suck n fuck i can lick fanny for hours ring me. THIS IS UNNACEPTABLE.

BUT : Hi, I've read your profile and would like to talk more. THIS IS ACCEPTABLE.

What's more the second one forces a look at the profile which if well written forces a reply.

If it just says ' will fill this in later' then it's back to the drawing board.

"

so go and look at other peoples profiles... the normal "profile" contains 2 lines and cock shot.... which seems like that is all the effort they all deem to have to make...

lots of people like a few lines in an opening message

something that contains a bit of personality...

something that they may have taken a little time and thought over....

something that shows that people might have read the profile they are actually replying to...

you get out what you put in.... if you only want to put in 1 lines effort then no one is stopping you.... however if that is all the effort you want to put in then you have no one to blame but yourself.....

Getting personal with others is what it is all about on here isn't it?

For us a one liner puts the onus back on us (the recipient) to then formulate a better response back..

To us it smacks of spamming and although we may ma look at the profile - most of the time we can;t be arsed to think of something to write back and just end up blocking

I suppose that is why we put a password in our profile.. so people actually read it - and then if they do a one liner well they may have more luck (yeah like we are choosy!! - we tend to take anything that gets offered -although it has to be said nearly everybody we have met has been wonderful)

You make the HUGE assumption that everyone has bothered to fill in anything of any worth on their profile.

NEWS FLASH.... they don't!

Quite fankly I will write/request anything I damn well please if it helps me decide who is worth meeting.

There wasn't one, I was hijacking the thread for my own purpose to find out what others had for their tea!

You will never keep a thread on track, especially when you start to patronise the people who are giving their own view to the original question!

Again, that might just be my opinion.

Actually I agree with you.

If your information is on your profile and you send a mail asking to check out your profile and if interested get back to you.....we would do just that. Why write a huge letter to get deleted by lots of people who do just that.

The very first meet we ever had was with a lovely man who sent a one line message that made us laugh, we read his profile, had a chat on MSN and met for some great fun.

For us it is how you word your mail not how many paragraphs there are.

Not everyone wants the same things or expect the same things out of this site, so the only thing you can do is move away from the profiles you don't like the look of.

Personally I think you have been treated pretty harsh on this thread for asking a question.

The very first meet we ever had was with a lovely man who sent a one line message that made us laugh, we read his profile, had a chat on MSN and met for some great fun.

For us it is how you word your mail not how many paragraphs there are.

Not everyone wants the same things or expect the same things out of this site, so the only thing you can do is move away from the profiles you don't like the look of.

Personally I think you have been treated pretty harsh on this thread for asking a question."

Thanks very much for reading the post and replying to it phew! Lots of ego maniacs on here!

"do you know what 'patronise' means? clearly not from your response!

You started the thread but others will reply to it in their own way, some answers you will agree with some you won't! That's life!

It could be said that you, yourself, are patronising everyone who gives you an answer you don't like. But that could just be my opinion! "

I think he has been very restrained in his answers, and for the way he was spoken to by some , I am surprised he was restrained.

that is not nice.... and i sometimes wonder why I and others have bothered if that is the way you are going to reply...

so you thank the ones that agree with you.... and you decide to dismiss the one that point out something and disagreed with you.....

thanks........

After the posts I had taken off? that was tame by comparison.

The man asked a question, not everyone answered politely...a couple of posts are still on if you want to check them out.

Personally I think his opening post shows a great degree of ignorance.

If you actually bother to state on your profile that you don't welcome one-liners (to save some of the one-liner writers the trouble) it is implied you are a timewaster. To be honest I'm pretty sick of folk waving the 'timewaster' finger at other people just because they don't like something on their profile and are not getting what they want.

It implies everyone writes at least a half decent profile... they don't.

It implies the only alternative to a one-liner is a rather long essay... which it isn't.

To anyone who wants to answer on the forums please do so within the rules.

To the OP......I can understand why you would want to react to peoples posts and you were very restrained, but the above sentance applies to everyone.

but the point is that some of us did answer the question politely... so if he is going give people respect to those who agree... then i would have like the same sort of respect and attitude to answered the question politely and disagreed...

two wrongs don't make a right......

I read the opening question and also the replies, some were informative some answered the OP's question and some were really rude.

I know who I'd thank.

I think granny should be along soon with her clean-up crew.

Funny as i thought for a minute you were talking about no one liner profiles!

To clarify whats been said, you must be the 10th single guy this week moaning about something or other so forgive us all if we are slightly fed up and therefore give off an aura of huge inflated ego, that we most certainly are not.

So to get back to what you have said, several comments have been made that hit the nail on the head, the "Hi, how are you this evening" or similar and the comment made that one has to sell without putting too much into a message. For example, ive had many messages, a dissertation if you like, where its obvious that the person has copied and pasted their profile into a message, what was the point?!! I do read peoples profiles, so ive no interest in a dissertation at all and quite frankly its boring. And i usually dont read it and quite often delete their message without reading. Dont forget before you moan about that, the ratio is about 20 single guys to 1 woman, therefore if ive had 20 messages, i shall filter out those that dont fit my profile and just delete them.

If you want to send a message to someone, its paramount that you make sure its obvious you have read their profile, if you havent, you know what will happen. Be witty, comment on their pictures, ask them how their day has been but keep it short and to the point.
