Tip - Successful First Message

Tip - Successful First Message

It's totally my personal biased opinion Objection, suggestion or modification all welcome

In three to five paragraphs of three to five sentences each, provide basic information like

WHY YOU MESSAGING,

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DO IT,

WHAT'S UNIQUE OR SPECIAL ABOUT YOU,

and briefly,

WHAT THE PERSON MEANS TO YOU.

Don't bog readers down, but rather entice them to want to know you more. As with any good first impression, your message should hook and invite further inquiry, like a really good story is about to unfold. Not give too little, not too much. Be specific, not vague.

Online attention spans are very short so you have to do whatever is necessary within a brief period of time to convince anyone who may like what they see to slow down and take a longer look. Always strive easy to read and understand for anyone who has any interest whatsoever in learning more. A poorly worded presentation can cost you big.

Good luck

But if you're a single male, 25-years-old, handsome, six feet tall, muscular, have 8+ inches, and can accommodate, you only need to write three words: "want a fuck".

Guess that rules out the 'hi, how ha doin' message

Honestly, for us, as long as the message is polite, makes some reference to what we're looking for, and we can see a few decent pics, then we're happy. Doesn't mean we'd meet them, but at least we'd take it seriously.

I disagree.

The first message doesn't really matter if the profile is good. If I get sent a first message that is longer than a couple of sentences I will put it to one side and may never get round to replying as I don't always have the time.

There really is little point in trying to give others tips on how to write a message. If they can't work out how to send a first message then they are going to struggle to keep the conversation going.

Plus there is not really any such thing as a 'successful' first message with me, as I'd never agree to meet someone based on a first message alone. It could be the best message and the best profile ever, but if they subsequently turn out to be a bit of an arse or we just don't click then I'm not going to meet.

I think it boils down to the kind of person you're looking for. I prefer the more verbose articulate person looking to be sociable and meet. Anyone who doesn't want to read 5 sentences isn't going to be for me, no matter how great they look

Call me shallow but it's all about the face pic, the profile and the message means diddly squat if you don't look at the face pic and think 'phwoaaar'.

Nobody ever has a wank over a nice personality!

My point was, if the first massage won't be read, no future communication.

Exactly this. I've had guys that have messaged me one line and have captured my interest. Everyone is looking for something different, so the OP has outlined what they are looking for in a first message. That is great, but not everyone wants that. That was my point. To everyone writing a first message....do what the hell you like and you will find someone to suit you. Not a group of people on the forum.

My personal take on messages make the message personal interesting and unique to the person you're messaging, that can be one sentence or a few paragraphs depending on the profile. First impressions count for a lot, for things to progress to skin on skin for me there has to be an attraction as well,

A good well written approach is good. As a couple we get lots of single guys who still do hi what you looking for.

A bit more is better but fact is not enough spare time to meet all the good potential.

As for face pictures it's a pain with the demands. If the person has a pretty face but unkempt body it will not happen for some.

If you post genuine body shots tgat look good. Should be enough up to the point of arranging a meeting when a face shot is hand to meet the right people in a pub!

Verbosity is not attractive. We don't expect someone to write as if they're applying for a job. Good pics and a polite first message is enough to get us to take a closer look.

I'd go with what the OP said.

Something to indicate that they had read my profile is a great start. Something other than 'have big penis, want to fuck?' is generally a winner. Something that shows they can find the shift key and be articulate about something is great.

Because, you know, I like to think that there are enough men on this site that I don't just have to 'put up' with one in order to have sex. I like to think I could actually find people that I can get on well with as friends too...

I'm crap at writing first messages! There is no magic formula, as what has worked with some does not work with others.

I have spent a fair amount of time on my profile and I get around the forums. Some like me, some don't.

If it is meant to be, it all comes together.

Are you suggesting that people that don't write long detailed first messages or that don't necessarily wish to receive them are just putting up with others and aren't making friends as well as having sex?

Which suggests how little you know about the way women's minds work!!

It's possible to write a good first message without it coming across as a job application!! First messages count for a lot with me personally, if the message captures my interest I will look at the profile, if not I don't bother any more. I have been swayed in favour of meeting someone I would not initially have found attractive based on the exchange of messages so it's not always about instant physical attraction.

Which just goes to prove I guess that we all know what we want and its very much a case of different strokes for different folk, there is no "one size fits all" approach which guarantees success

Lets be honest here! Whether its a simple hi or your life story doesn't matter to the woman on here. Its looks that count. Otherwise why is every woman is wrapped up in asking for a face pic on first message even though there is rarely one of them! How does it go no face pic no reply!

Personally I think the second message that you send is the most important. You have sent a first message, inc face pics and introduced yourself as the OP has described. You have received a reply. Now is your chance to impress or balls up big time. You have the ladies/couples attention. Don't blow it!! So many fall down at this stage.

No, but I can't imagine the kind of person who gets interested on by a 'wnt 2 fuk' or 'im bi' first message is exactly looking for intelligent conversation and long lasting friendship.

The replies are just as informative.

The minimum requirement from the OP was 3 paragraphs of 3 sentences each...

If I were to write such a short message to any woman and she lacked the wit, or attention span to read it; Obviously she's not going to respond. Nor would I want her to!

Some women want nothing but location and Cock pics.

Some want a full and suggestive biography.

There is no "one size fits all" approach. Some people want a well explained approach to the initial message. Others want a physical attraction.

Everybody is different, but what you need to do, regardless, is make sure that whatever brought you to the dance is what you are representing.

If you are a good lucking guy/gal, then sure, perhaps that's all you need.

If you are a less of a looker, but maybe more attentive or have more to offer than just looks, that's your hook too.

And some people will look at a message and think, what an annoying twat, whereas somebody else will shout "here, here!"

Its all perspective...

But at least give a good account of yourself, one way or another, and that's the best "first message" you can give.

In my humble opinion

WHY YOU MESSAGING.

"

Good afternoon,

I am replying to your post as I enjoy a mental challenge. Having read your profile, I may well fall short in some areas, however I find that the thrill of the chase, the anticipation of the reply, the investigation of how another person thinks and feels can be as rewarding as physical interaction.

I seek nothing more than correspondence, a meeting of minds. Anything physical is, as always, an added and most welcome bonus. Nothing is expected, anticipated or demanded.


"WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DO IT"

The social interaction within the lifestyle fascinates me. The opportunity to explore beyond the social circles I normally inhabit. There are elements of sexuality I wish to explore, but the giving of pleasure to others is my focus. Your profile strikes me as someone I could develop a bond with.


"WHAT'S UNIQUE OR SPECIAL ABOUT YOU"

I have a tremendously giving nature. I like to put a lady at ease and the centre of attention. For the right person, nothing is too much trouble.


"

and briefly,

WHAT THE PERSON MEANS TO YOU.

"

I see you as a lady of mystery, quite clear on what you seek, but with so much potential to unlock.

So how would that go down?

Bingo!!!!!

Writing a reply shouldn't be like writing some sort of templates

Just like writing a profile shouldn't be like writing a template either

I like the way it is now in that it's a lot easier to work out who doesn't get or up to a point understand what they're doing and what they are trying to get across.... And that is going to be very individual

I seek nothing more than correspondence, a meeting of minds. Anything physical is, as always, an added and most welcome bonus. Nothing is expected, anticipated or demanded.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DO IT

The social interaction within the lifestyle fascinates me. The opportunity to explore beyond the social circles I normally inhabit. There are elements of sexuality I wish to explore, but the giving of pleasure to others is my focus. Your profile strikes me as someone I could develop a bond with.

WHAT'S UNIQUE OR SPECIAL ABOUT YOU

I have a tremendously giving nature. I like to put a lady at ease and the centre of attention. For the right person, nothing is too much trouble.

and briefly,

WHAT THE PERSON MEANS TO YOU.

I see you as a lady of mystery, quite clear on what you seek, but with so much potential to unlock.

.

So how would that go down?"

Could I ask your opinion on this?

"But if you're a single male, 25-years-old, handsome, six feet tall, muscular, have 8+ inches, and can accommodate, you only need to write three words: "want a fuck"."

Sorry mate, you'll just come across as cocky doing that

In my option, it is good template you've written but slightly rigid and long. Adding a little personal taste, witty remark and affectionate makes nicer I think.

I guess it's not for me, is it?

If so, you are asking me a reply, nothing more.

So it's over when I reply.

Just around the corner

I find that responding to something in the recipients profile or status is usually the most successful opener, and a bit of humour doesn't go amiss if it's appropriate.

To be honest, I don't think guys are doing any bad because people want different things and they tend to get too fussy,which is just off putting lol.

As regards essays,i think i would give credence to some guy genius on here because no amount of word content or cheesy lines that can get you a meet not that you are not hitting the right words but because ladies have got more than 100 choices to pick from

Just do your own thing and you might never know as someone else's tea is another person's vodka......

"Personally I think the second message that you send is the most important. You have sent a first message, inc face pics and introduced yourself as the OP has described. You have received a reply. Now is your chance to impress or balls up big time. You have the ladies/couples attention. Don't blow it!! So many fall down at this stage.

Yes ladies and couples aswell take note. Not just the rats of fab...single guys "

Love that, the rats of fab. Sounds like the making of a new clique

"Tip - Successful First Message

It's totally my personal biased opinion Objection, suggestion or modification all welcome

In three to five paragraphs of three to five sentences each, provide basic information like

WHY YOU MESSAGING,

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DO IT,

WHAT'S UNIQUE OR SPECIAL ABOUT YOU,

and briefly,

WHAT THE PERSON MEANS TO YOU.

Don't bog readers down, but rather entice them to want to know you more. As with any good first impression, your message should hook and invite further inquiry, like a really good story is about to unfold. Not give too little, not too much. Be specific, not vague.

Online attention spans are very short so you have to do whatever is necessary within a brief period of time to convince anyone who may like what they see to slow down and take a longer look. Always strive easy to read and understand for anyone who has any interest whatsoever in learning more. A poorly worded presentation can cost you big.

Good luck "

To be honest I think that's too long hun. I currently have 500 unread messages. Tbh I think one good paragraph, preferably witty, with a smiling face pic and a torso pic is enough to get a response if the lady finds you attractive enough! Xx

Exactly this. I've had guys that have messaged me one line and have captured my interest. Everyone is looking for something different, so the OP has outlined what they are looking for in a first message. That is great, but not everyone wants that. That was my point. To everyone writing a first message....do what the hell you like and you will find someone to suit you. Not a group of people on the forum.

Bingo!!!!!

Writing a reply shouldn't be like writing some sort of templates

Just like writing a profile shouldn't be like writing a template either

I like the way it is now in that it's a lot easier to work out who doesn't get or up to a point understand what they're doing and what they are trying to get across.... And that is going to be very individual "

Excellent critique and feedback.

I tried to stick within your guidelines, following the advice that you gave. I was attentive and tried to hook into your profile.

But yet I still got it wrong.

It took me about 15 minutes to write, edit, spell check etc. For me to do this would result in me sending four speculative messages. Only to get a thanks but no thanks.

I can understand why single guys end up going for the fancy a fuck option. If you carpet bomb enough ladies, one may reply eventually.

I believe women read profiles. My profile is a truer reflection of my personality, but unless you read my profile before reading the message, you are unlikely to give me a second look.

We are told to:

Stand out.

Be original.

Read the profile.

Be witty.

Draw you in.

You don't have time to read every message, so why offer advice then move the goalpoats?

But what would I know. I'm a distinctly average guy just trying to have fun with the friends I have and the friends I have yet to meet.

Women should go looking. See how they like it when they have to send the first message. And get no response, or some rude obnoxious reply.

If we don't fancy 'em, no matter how well crafted the message, they aren't getting a response.

'Hi' and an attached face pic works just fine for us.

"I disagree.

The first message doesn't really matter if the profile is good. If I get sent a first message that is longer than a couple of sentences I will put it to one side and may never get round to replying as I don't always have the time.

There really is little point in trying to give others tips on how to write a message. If they can't work out how to send a first message then they are going to struggle to keep the conversation going."

I agree. Lots of women and couples have said when they get a message before they read it they look at the persons profile. If the profile interests them they read the email.
