weaselwelder -> RE: How to correctly email a female sub on CM (11/11/2009 11:24:53 PM)

Read through the posts, and I have to say that many suggestions are untrue, at least for the women I message. I get about a 5% response rate, including people just messaging me to say they aren't interested or that just looked at my profile and didn't return my message. Usually, my initial email goes like this: [Greeting] [Brief statement of what in their profile or journal attracted me to them] [If they have a profile pic, a gentlemanly statement regarding their physical attractiveness] [Something about myself that I don't share in my profile that I think they'd like] [Invitation to examine my profile and message me in return] WARNING: The rest of this post is a bunch of numbers. I know love laughs at numbers, you don't have to tell me. Now, I realize that anyone "new" and on here may get scared when they get a real message, and that I am nowhere near the norm, even for the BDSM world. That said, I see about a 30% response rate (only actual messages) from a vanilla dating site I'm on (yes, I'm open about being a kinky bastard when I message people there) and the published global data for there is a response rate (same) of 23%. Assuming unknown varialables to be equal, that implies about a 4% global response rate on collarme. Sample space for personal messages: collarme n~80, vanilla site n=24 global: collarme n~900,000, vanilla n~1.4 million
