What is up with all of the form letter replies guys? This is the response I usually receive.

"Hello. I am a sincere dominant man in the lifestyle for____years. I believe that trust is important in a bdsm relationship. I am fit and seek the same in a partner. I want her to be independent in the outside world but serve Me in the bedroom. I am strict but fair. Experiance (sic) does not matter. Just your willingness to obey. I will honor your limits but will push them. "

I mean. That's all really cool stuff, but when ninety nine percent of the messages I get read the same way, I'm at a lost how to reply. Kinda cold and methodical doncha think?

Why do you guys send form letters? Why? Please tell me!

Jenn

Just ignore them, that's your best bet. No one says you have to reply, and getting upset...it's a waste of good energy.




KatyLied -> RE: Form Letters (1/16/2006 4:19:08 PM)

I think it's fun when people copy/paste their profile and pm it to you.
Let 'em be dumb, who cares?

Think of them as doing you a service; they are providing for you a list of profiles on CM to avoid.

Or as I put it, "It's not a bug; it's a feature." Of course I do spend too much time around Microsoft people

Well, I never send form letters. I write each one specifically to the one I'm addressing. Still, they do tend to say basically the same stuff. It's not that I don't care, and it's not that I can't write. I just am trying to make that initial contact and hope the person will want to look at my profile.

Here's an example:

Hi, XXXXXX,
I wrote you before but maybe you were too buried by messages. Like you, I am also looking for the one. I am a caring and affectionate master, but a master nevertheless. When I ask you to please read my profile, I hope you won't think it's laziness on my part. I'm attaching a picture to this message; there are a few more on my profile. Looking at your "interests" list, I think we might enjoy talking to each other.

Bob

Here's another:

Hello, xxxxx,

Well, we have a major age difference but that's not the same as a 'gap'. Looking at your listed interests, I see we share a lot of 'loves' and are definitely on the same page when it comes to 'hard limits'. I value education and intelligence. I also value having fun and sharing great experiences. I am a strict, but loving Master and am totally monogamous. I hope you'll read my profile and check out the pictures there. Also...if you like me, I hope you also like cats.

cheers,

Bob

So....waddya think? Too formish? I used to write very informative and chatty letters, but after spending lots of time at that, I felt it was pretty much time wasted. I don't mean that to sound bitchy; that is not how I'm feeling about this. It's just that I spent lots of time writing pretty good letters that never got a response.

On the other hand, I have had some really good relationships start here with the sending of a short and simple "Hi. Love what you said in your profile. Nice photos, too. If you feel the same after checking mine, please write me. I hope to talk with you soon."

The most major relationship I ever had here started with a short, 3-line email from her and a similarly short reply from me.

Bob

jenn,

As most have and will state don't waste yoru time wiht just hit delete and move on. You are having the opposite fo what I send. I read their profile, if they seem liek they may amtch I will address each seperately and according to what was put in their profile. Now if they would just respond with a message back is another story we all have to deal with on here too...........I guess it is to hard to respond back to those that really are trying. Mmmm or is it they get bombarded with all these idiots that the real jsut get blown off too




IrishMist -> RE: Form Letters (1/16/2006 7:02:52 PM)

/nods

They get bombarded with the idiots, and then proceed to ignore the good ones out of frustration.





FTopinMichigan -> RE: Form Letters (1/17/2006 4:03:52 AM)

I seriously doubt anyone will admit to sending out a "form" letter.

I found an interesting one....a man identifying as a "dominant" by his profile, contacted both me, as well as a submissive friend of mine. He sent us both the same letter, with the exception of the opening line to me, being his desire to sub, and a change (for whatever reason) to the number of years of experience. He told me he had fifteen years of experience, and bragged on twenty to her. My guess is that it's all years online, making shallow contacts with women.

It's interesting how it doesn't matter who they contact...they still use the same form letter. Some people are just clueless, and either are wasting their time online...just to pass the time, or are really idiots. I vote for the latter.

I usually respond back with the "thanks, but no thanks" note, that includes "thanks for the form letter."

Arpig -> RE: Form Letters (1/17/2006 4:06:32 AM)

I don't really use the emails to try sell myself, mostly I send off short little notes inspired by something in the person's profile, but then again I am not really looking




LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Form Letters (1/17/2006 7:11:17 AM)

I do what I do with any email I don't find interesting, I ignore it.

But it is amusing when they send the same form letter a few weeks later.
