The majority would want you to have read their profile and be what they're looking for. A bit of humour and intelligence is always nice to read but a genuine well thought out message stands a good chance of getting a reply.

Generally if there isn't one on profile a face pic. As harsh as it may sound it's a make it or break it and saves time and effort for both parties.

Other than that I wouldn't expect more than a hi or hello considering my profile

Would be good if more people had a profile then! The number of profiles with just a stock silhouette Avi and a description that says "looking for fun" is unreal

I usually want a face pic and a body pic, if it's not on their profile already.

A sentence or two on where they want me to take them on a social helps. A bot about themselves and what they enjoy etc...

Seriously though, the amount of women that put no effort whatsoever... Just one lines like:

"hey wanna ride me xoxo"

"been dying for some oriental cock hun"

"gimme yer porksword sweetiepie"

Unbelievable hard to get a decent meet here. The women need to cop on!

As long as it’s cohesive and articulate we don’t care, a short hello is fine

Let’s face it if some hotties that fit our criteria message us we don’t care what it says as long as it’s in English, polite and makes sense! Not much to ask for but you’d be surprised xx

A good first message should demonstrate some personality and originality, make it clear that they've read our profile and show that they are genuinely looking for the same things as us!

There's nothing worse than someone telling you what they think you want to hear in order to try and get a meet because you can see right through it after a glance at their profile and a couple of messages.

Theres no magic formula..

Its not gender specific the inability to read a profile or send a message of more than 'hi'

My other observation

I doubt any words you'd type would change a persons mind if they didn't find you attractive.

There no magic enchantment, you just have to sound as normal down to earth and genuine as you can and try and be loud then all the rest and try and drown out all the losers and desperate men that think cock pics and fancy a fuck messages are all you need to slip a women panties off.

A face pic is needed for me. Without one I just delete without reply. Anyone with a meet now/wanna fuck type message gets blocked.

If there is a face pic a simple "would you like to talk" message is fine. Then it's a simple yes I would or a sorry not for me

Honestly, anything.

I think understandably women and cpls here are flooded with uninspiring single Ms & dumb chat but it takes two to tango and people will miss out if they don't attempt to strike up an honest conversation. It's easy enough to block & ignore those who won't make the effort but I truly appreciate anyone who took the time to click the message button

I'm absolutely crap at the written word, I'm nervous, uninspiring, devoid of human emotions, I evoke scepticism and I'm very tanned, I'm not worthy of a reply don't do it you know you'll regret it

... and if you are sending a face pic... Please smile. The number of pics we receive where the sender either looks like a mass murderer or heard the worst news of his life before photographing himself.

Lighten up people. A smile makes everyone seem more approachable.

Wife chooses all meets. If you have a sense of humor and make a effort with your message you will stand out from the croud. Funny is more effective than dirty. And she does not even look at the cock pics until she is arranges a meet

I think there's too much pressure to write the 'perfect' first message. If you're messaging someone you like the look of but they don't have much written in their profile it can be hard to know what to put - this is why I tend to message people who have written something in their profiles that I can respond to. But if someone sends me a message that's nice, suggests they've looked at my profile and gives me something to respond to then that's a decent start.

my advice would be this.

Keep it fairly short, don't over do it. Ask questions in relation to their/her/his profile.

Introduce yourself without copying your words in own profile.

Also include a face pic. Always include a face pic *golden rule*

I don’t like this comment. I read all before I message. If it full of negatives I don’t bother. If there are no public photos I don’t bother, if it list the details of say a famous actor I don’t bother.then if I find one I like I write a pointed message based on the profile only to see it deleted unread.

Jesus Christ it’s easy. Don’t be creepy, don’t be sleazy. Talk to them as a person and not a commodity. Engage them in a conversation that’s not about sex to start with. If they are interested the conversation will move on. The lads that do well on here also do well in the real world. If that’s not you, you will not fair any better here.
