"Which do you prefer? Many would consider my intro messages too short, none constructive, I say hello, state an interest, I may comment on any particular request they have but not in depth, ask to check my profile (which should cover all my interests without my repeating myself in some intro) & if I'm their type then let's chat! It's not lazy in my eyes, although many may view it as such because it's short. It's not meant to be discourteous as some may see it, it's just simplified. It's short & sweet with no time wasting, which is something many state anyway 'No Time Wasters'!! Yeah, yeah, I know, I can hear ya already: 'mate if you don't make the effort you won't get anywhere' or 'they need to know more about you before they chat' (well that's the point of a profile & chatting isn't it?) or 'it's to prove you've got a brain & can hold a decent conversation'...etc, etc...blah, blah. Even though I could & I'm more than capable, why should I spend ages writing some long winded, tantalising, over indulgent intro if I'm not their type in the first place? Even if I did many can't be bothered to reply, even if only to say 'No Thanks'? TBH I can't stand those who insist on an intro message/essay that consists of long B/S construction & wanting to know what you'd do to them if you met!! C'mon, really??? You sure you're not after a personalised story to fantasize over? What's next checking out my O & A levels in English & Math! You want stories just ask as I've many but I'm not here as a storyteller, as for the selling, well I'm not a product either (though some view it as you are), the profile states my interests & that I'm no novice. The intro shows an interest. So there's the starter, lets chat & take it from there & if at anytime you wish to discontinue said communication for whatever reason you do so. Is it so wrong? No it's just direct! " ...feel like you could have been more succinct writing this, buddy.  | |||

"Thanks for the feed back & everyone else too. So you saw the 'Current status' bit! Well it's a little dig, aimed at those who seem obsessed with 'gotta have a picture' attitude & maybe those who just read the status & nothing more. Yes I know exposure is all part of the sale but it's my choice & I'm not the only one. However in the profile it states that I will send one by private message. It also states my reasons, there's also the fact I don't want it copied & used by the scammers that use these sites for their own benefit. I suppose I could do a load of pictures with my face covered but I'm more for the personal contact first, a message & chat, the experience & interests should be inviting enough. " Hello OP. Everyone has their own way of doing fab. What works for you doesn't work for everyone - and that's fine! I don't see the point of getting riled up about it, I figure if someone's profile isn't for me e.g. I'm not comfortable sending face pic with first message, then we aren't compatible so I'll move on

If no-one's read our profile before a message, the convo is very limited, which is most of the time. Works for us. | |||
