just curious but has anyone on here ever sent an email to a single male based on their profile? so many ask about their profile being ok... but i dont think it mattets, as long as its normalish sounding its all based on the emails you send out.. or am i wrong?

We have and yes the profile content is important to us, we wouldn't bother sending a message to any one with a bad profile. Z

so you actually will send emails based om the profile even when you havent been swbt an email.. i have alot ro learn, i cant get emails outside the forum at all x

im starting to see swinging like a job... you need swinging experience and referencies on your profile to get attention... but since no one breaks the ice for you, you cant get that experience

im going to use the site with an updated profile and alot of new pictures from this friday... hoping for a better than previous experience from my many other sites this time around xx

Regardless of how good the message is, I always check out the profile before I decide how I'm going to respond.

"Why from this friday?"

Shaz likes to read the profile also although we have met a few people with a crap profile but real good message.

Verifications are nice to reed but not a necessity for us.

but im guessing it would take a terrible profile to change things for the worse? since the email did its job surely the profile not being great doesnt really matter?

and sorry if im putting words into your typing fingers x

No it doesn't have to be terrible to change my mind. It could be too sparse or just plain boring. It could have 15 pics of his cock from various angles and no others. Or a pic of his face and i just dont fancy him. He could've met someone that I don't like. Loads of additional info that you can't get in a message.

This is very true. We have blocked messages from single men but the same logic appolies for all messages, a perfect example is the message we got recently that was great and then you read the profile and it states that they are just looking for single females. Pretty much game over with regards to our inteserst in them.

With regards to the OP, I doubt many single men get inundated with messages so to a degree your profile only acts as an addittion to the messages you send.

I've never messaged a man, simply because what I'm looking for they don't always put on their profile - a bit like bi males who put "straight" I guess...why limit their chances.

However, I've often ignored and deleted messages from single men based solely on their profile.

Never mailed first, ever, well there was one lady......... but you know, it was a "couldn't resist" moment, lol (she did reply, it wasnt nice , shame we would be married now....sigh....joke!)

Anyway, when I was "active", I never messaged first, even had it in my profile..... I did ok

I guess the section about what someones looking for is personal and can't really be changed, but it's an interesting reply

thanks xx

i think when it comes to message and profile, profile is always the most important.

anyone who's interested will have a quick browse of your profile, pics and verifications to get a feel of what your like.

now your message could be brilliant, make them laugh and get their attention, but if your profile dont turn them on then they isnt much reason for them to reply other than banter.

message is to intrigue a reply, profile is meant to turn them on and make them think MMMMM YES PLEASE! if it dont and your a attractive person then your cutting your chances short.

see a bog standard "hi how are you" might work with someone who even says no one liners on their profile, if you have a profile where they click on it and think they want a piece of you.

think of your profile like when you walk past someone in the street, within seconds you decide if you fancy them or not if your looking. your profile does the same, if they dont fancy you then chances are no matter what your message says they wont be bothered, but if they do fancy you they will be alot more forgiving on a poor message and may reply on the profile alone!

of course best combination is sexy profile and great message custom to the person your talking too,

but great message will never work without a profile which is sexy to the person its being sent to in most cases

TBH to the OP, I feel although you have kept your profile short.. its a bit waffly.

Stockton man had the ideal single guys profile - simple, punctual and to the point, you could say easy reading..

Would always read a profile if the mail is longer than one liner.. as the profile also tells us your age, height etc from the personal details you gave to Fab.

Still waiting for my first one, as part of a couple it is great...but as a single its not good....I don't mention that I have a partner, she is bi and gets more attention than me, so I would like to see what happens on my own. Any suggestions....

So possibly the most harmful thing about my searching off the forum currently, might be my profile as it stands? I will re-write it as planned and ask for forum advice after x

& i might look at the other guys profile for hints, not a blue print lol

Lol, no not amazing, far from. When my profile was up, I just had a note to say, tip me a wink, and I would send a message. I am fairly relaxed though, I did a dozen or so meets in 3 months, nice people, friendly an all. My profile wasn't amazing, I don't look amazing, but I am quite chilled about the whole thing. Told people on more than one occasion that their profile stipulated someone I wasn't (fit, athletic etc.)

Honesty, patience, a sense of humour, and a cock you can prod people from across the street with, will get you far in this life

You did a meet a week, while turning meets down without ever once making the first contact? Are you sure you aren;t a female pretending to be male?

"

It averaged out at a meet a week yes, but in truth I did three meets in one week in July, and I also have membership of another site. I think I was seen as reliable (maybe desperate, who knows?), I did get a number of meets of the back of other people cancelling, which smarted a bit (2nd or 3rd choice can damage an ego, but ego gets left in the wilderness for swingers). I also used the "meet today" function, which I must say helped with those "last minute, let downs"

I didn't mind, it was nice really, met some lovely people and had a lot of fun, well I had fun anyway lol. As for turning people down, that was kind of weird for me, I guess I have fairly low self esteem when it comes to my physical nature (arrogant as you like, regarding my intellectual capacity). I only turned down people that had "fit" and "attractive" etc., because I hate to disappoint.

Happy swinging
