blushingflower -> RE: I wrote everything in my profile and journal (1/28/2010 12:28:35 PM)

Are you sure what you're writing is "wit"? I get lots of "hey, liked your profile, check out mine and drop me a line" emails. And there's nothing to suggest what specifically about my profile they liked, and frequently when I do go look at said profile, there's nothing to indicate that we would be compatible in any way, or much in the way of anything that tells me about the writer's personality. I don't expect a literary masterpiece, but I want to see that you're a decent communicator. I know it's hard to write a unique email to each person, especially if you're contacting a lot of people, but consider narrowing your net and putting more effort into each first contact. Even "I really liked your profile, specifically XYZ, and I'd like to get to know you better, if you're interested. Feel free to check out my profile and get back to me at your convenience". I pretty universally read the sender's profile before replying anyway, and I doubt I'm alone in that.
