Ok so we all know a lot of men don't set the ladies inbox's alight with imaginative messages.

However, are women also guilty of this practice too? Come on men, what's the blandest message you've had?

Ladies, feel free to contribute with your most imaginative message sent

I once sent "Baaaaaa" as an opening message. 'Twas a moment of pure genius.

Back where I belong

I'm crap at sending messages and usually send the, ' love your profile/pictures, how are you?'. Occasionally I'll come up with something witty, but not often - so be prepared lol xx

Most on the forum. It's not something I buy into though....imagination doesn't need to involve a lot of words....I could tell by his seemingly silly response to my seemingly silly message that we were on the same wavelength.....we then went on to have a decent chat....guess my point is first messages aren't overly important (to me anyway) as long as there is something there to respond to.

''hi hun''

l Even get very bland messages from gay guys. ''What you upto?'' lnstant delete.

lf a gay guy takes time to send me a good message (even though l'm straight) l'll message him a decent one for his effort. Even made some friends.

If I send messages they are usually pretty crap to be honest.

It's a bit like putting your big toe in the bath before diving straight in!!

If I get a response, all good. If not, who cares

I've responded to messages that have been pretty basic but then I always read profiles before I open a message!

From non-forumites I normally get simple messages saying something about my pics.

But my pics are the only thing on my profile, so that's all my own doing!

So, if you only get bland opening messages it may be that your own profile isn't giving enough away about you.

My messages i send are quite boring. I usually like to recieve a well written message.

But sometimes a one liner could sway it if it makes me laugh and i can bounce of it

So it seems women can be just as naff as men with a first message

Odd how you never hear them complain about it, I guess the shock of getting one confuses them

Don't think there's anything wrong with love your profile or pic

Not sure what people expect us to come up with on here sometimes.

I'm not flipping J.K Rowling who can muster up a few magical sentences to grab someone's attention

Quite a few "Hey!" And "Hi" from ladies.

But I am not grumbling as it usually leads to a conversation of at least sentences! With multiple syllables!!

Got a message from a couple last night......"she says bigger than mine"...... Took an exchange of four more messages to realise they were talking about my cock.

Maybe not bland, but a bit random to say the least!

I get lots of Hi's. Funny how we blokes have to make a biiiiig effort in the message dept. But fems can wing it with hi. Just an observation of course.

I word vomit to women (apologies to any ladies I've messaged). I always get a rpely though so I find all the "hi" messages from women, to me anyway, have been from fake accounts. Most strike a conversation about my picture or status or whatever, I'm rather lucky on the women front

Some people think men should make a big effort with messages. I prefer a guy who is natural with his messages. You are listening to the complainers far too much. Which is fine if you want to meet one.

It has been demonstrated that goldfishes memory's are considerably better than they are usually credited with.

They can remember things for at least 3 months.

Thankyou.

Oh good god - I obsess over the rare messages I do send. I read it back critically and think, "would this be an insta-delete if it were in my inbox?"

It's way harder than I thought to make first contact! Hence preferring the forums

I'm well aware of that, but the saying has not changed and people still understand what you mean by it

What gets a man's attention is not the same as what gets a woman's attention. Men are more visual, whereas women often need their mind stimulated too.

Although the number of forum users is far lower than the number of fab users, I like that you get a far better indication of personality seeing how they interact and respond to others than just private messaging. I've yet to be stood up by someone I've got talking to via the forums, and meets have always been fun and relaxed, so works for me!
