daddy4umylilslut -> You need to understand why.... (5/2/2010 8:32:08 AM)
I am always seeing posts from females that say they will "delete one liners". I agree that "one liners" are a pain in the ass...BUT..there IS a reason that even the MOST real of us Males do this! This site like EVERY OTHER adult meeting site is inundated with the sneaky little fucks from Nigeria, or wherever, that put in pics and locations that aare here in the States. So we reply with heartfelt messages and end up with spam on our comps, IM's etc....It IS prevelant enough thaat even I have cut/paste a message when I am unsure of the validity of the poster!!!! I have gone to great lengths to make my profile a TRUE reflection of EXACTLY who I am and who I seek. But deciphering the BULLSHIT posts from those of you that are real and sencere is a real pain in the ass time consuming affair! MY SOLUTION!!! Be you Male or female....report EVERY profile you see that is from these overseas assholes trying to get into your cash!!!! Be vigilant in this and PERHAPS the word will spread and they may move to sites that they receive replies from and leave us alon!! TY for listening to MY rant...Best wishes....Kisses whips spanks and licks....Michael

personally, I have better things to do with my time than scan profiles for potential scammers. Should they end up in my cmail, fine. report. But really, isnt life too short to be stressing OTHER peoples actions and idiocy? welcome, though.

I read this, and you know what I hear? 'Excuse excuse excuse'. If you don't want to spend five minutes of your life writing two paragraphs for a girl then that's your prerogative-but why then expect her to spend several email exchanges (way more than five minutes) working out if you're worth communicating with once she's got your one-liner?

GreedyTop -> RE: You need to understand why.... (5/2/2010 8:51:52 AM)
yeah, what the cutie-patootie said!

DarkSteven -> RE: You need to understand why.... (5/2/2010 9:36:22 AM)
I'm dead lost. You start by rating about subs who ask for more than a single line email. Then somehow the rant morphs into a diatribe against the scam profiles. Tell ya what, OP. Accept that scammers are a part of life, and move on. Then accept the fact that some subs want more than a one line email, and just give it to them instead of complaining about it.

Someone who might be more willing to respond to a one line email is the very person you might want to consider a fake. Since most don't want a one liner and see it as a short cut to the hoped for good's and a scammer/fake doesn't care how much you talk because they typically can't speak much English anyway and only want your enrollment or cash. This method is backass backwards. As well as being what VC says... an excuse. Another point I would like to make. I've looked at a lot of profiles and you can pretty much tell the fake one's unless they have stolen the wording from someone else's profile. There are a lot of indicators. So... these one line excuse emails... are they going to a pretty, youthful picture or are you emailing those who clearly are interested in more than what you carry in a pocket? Accountability starts with you. Most scammer's/fakes can be seen long before an email goes out. If you are writing a lot of scammer/fakes, then your picker is broken.

OP, look at it this way. A woman has an account here, depending on if she has a pic up or not she may get dozens of emails a day. Many of these men will send a one-liner...what makes your one-liner special enough to stand out? If you wrote her a short paragraph instead you'll stand out over all the guys who said Hi, or How are you, or I think you're hot. And what does it take to jot down a couple of sentences? 5 minutes? So instead of it taking 30 seconds you spend the 5 minutes and get a possible return on your investment as opposed to it going straight into the trash with all the other one-liners she got that day. Sending a woman a one word or one line message says you can't be troubled to find out if she's real or not...so on the part of the woman she also can't be troubled to find out more about you. You get what you give. Your profile seems as though you are looking for a special woman to spend time with...sending a woman a one line note doesn't give that impression. It seems likely to the women getting the one line emails that the guys are not interested in much of anything beyond casual. Do you want to be grouped in with the clueless ones who are looking for instant gratification or stand out and be the one she chooses to write back? We're not talking about tons of time here, just a few minutes.

OP, you have to realize that cold contacting someone is a low success activity. Whether it is sales, missionaries, phone polls or sending messages to people on sites like this, the odds of a successful contact are pretty low. To make it more successful, you need to read the persons profile, understand what they are looking for, and send a contact message appropriate for the person you are contacting. Of course, if the person has no information in their profile you can't tailor your message exclusively to them. I generally pass by profiles with no information or that are very poorly written, but that's just me. If you want to try contacting people with no information in their profiles anyway, be prepared for a very, very low response rate.

All I was saying is how frustrating it is to read a profile, respond in a true fashion, just to find out they are "from Los Angeles and currently stuck in ... insert overseas location here.." I APPRECIATE the hell out of all the true girls that respond to my profile or that I have met on the journey to find the one I seek.I am fulltime single Dad to 2, fulltime Nursing Student, care for parents (cancer), involved in local charities, school president..yada yada yada....so free time to reply is limited, THATS all the rant was about...lol..must have touched a nerve though, many resonses that just dont get it..no big deal...best wishes to all in their own personal search...Michael!!

I'd recommend speed reading classes, just two in the sixth grade helped me. As a student and someone without the time to read profiles in which to find someone you most likely won't have much time for, the classes might benefit you. Look, it is wonderful that you do all you do, but there are no short cuts and it is what it is. You are not the only person around here that has a far too busy life, reading the same profiles and sending out emails and doing other things to find what they are looking for. We accept life as it is and do what we can to make it what we want it to be. If you are looking for something quick it may not happen. To blame us for something when we are being people who understand that life and this site are what they are and responding accordingly, shows furthermore your unrealistic expectations. You just aren't getting it. I don't wish you ill or want to be harsh here, but dude, really, it isn't all about you and you need to see that people do what they do and if it makes it harder for you, maybe you need to focus on something else. How does one state in the first paragraph all that one can bitch about being at the bottom of a profile? I have had many profile messages here and change them as the need may present itself. I cannot fit in all the information within one minute of reading that all would feel important so that I don't waste their time. Get it?

OP we know that you can send out one hundred carefully crafted letters and not get a response. And that it's very disheartening. But the odds are if you keep sending out individual letters and don't send them to 18 year olds who don't want to date men old enough to be their father, or women across the country who say local only, or to people who state they aren't interested in your pet kink, that eventually you will get a response. Assuming you give sufficient detail about yourself, not sex or kink interests, in your profile so they can tell if they think there is any compatibility. But send out the one liners and you won't get any response.
