What the fuck is with women and couples putting down no one liners...what's sooooo wrong about a first short message to break the ice...I mean really what are the chances of most average looking average age guys to even get a reply anyway...so how can you expect us to write a massive essay as the first message when statistically you won't even bother reading it |

I agree
Though Short message
Artfully Presented may help.
It takes a while for Brains to Engage ,
So a longer message more likely to Tease & Appease .
Best of luck & Fortitude |

i'm already chatting whenever anyone new is messaging me, so i cba to think about something to talk about.
but i don't ask men for anything in particular so they don't feel as let down if i don't reply. they can't think 'well i did what she wanted so why's she not replied' coz i never asked for anything. |

I've often wondered this. ...I guess you don't have to contact those that want you write a novel. |

There and to the left a bit |
Given the choice OP which would you honestly choose if the roles were reversed? A "Hello, how are you?" (or worse) one liner?
Or a message that shows the sender has read your profile, tailored the message accordingly and shows a genuine interest in you, as opposed to something completely random that does none of the above?
I know which I'd be more inclined to respond to. |

Most will take a look at your profile before even considering reading your message anyway. If they're not impressed with what they see, they'll either delete your message without reading it, or leave it sitting there unread for all eternity.
You really need to ask yourself if your profile is the best that it can possibly be and consider whether you give the impression of somebody who is willing to put in a good deal of effort.
Since you haven't specifically asked for advice on your profile, I am not at liberty to give any.
If you browse the forums, you'll find that the subject of one liners / short messages crops up quite a lot. In fact, there is currently a similar thread running in the Swingers Chat section.
Many have given very valid reasons why they don't like such messages. Have a read through and see if you can understand why.
Either that or carry on doing what you're doing and carry on getting the same reaction as you're getting now. |

yep. ..the one liner. ..especially if I'm pushed for time. The essay would put me off and I may never get round to reading it. One liners are great. ..I can read it without opening, check out the profile to see if I want to open and respond to the message in a few moments. |

I am trying a new tack where messages are concerned...
I am now responding in kind so if its a one liner they get a one liner back, complete with text speak and spelling mistakes..
I don't really care how its received as I block them anyway  |

Maybe by saying no one liners, they're expecting more elaborate comedy  |

It doesn't matter if it's a 1 liner or a message of biblical proportions, if we look at the profile and it doesn't match what we are looking for, or we don't fancy them we won't reply. |

It's polite to reply though it's polite to say something back...you can just say no thanks |

Yeah they have boring generic profiles and expect you to be witty and tailor it to them. The expectations come from a feeling of superiority. They should go the library if they are looking Mark Twain.

Yes it is, but then it's dependent on how many messages you receive a day from people who clearly can't read!
If they can't be bothered to read our profile why should we bother to reply? |

your doing it wrong, send a one liner with a pic of your cock next to a sky remote or a mini mars bar, you'll get loads more interest.
i put a pic up with my little fella on the table by a mini can,mini mars and a small plate, and i got 1000 messages in a day...true story  |

I have no idea what reactions you're getting, but going by the angry post you made beginning this thread, one can only assume that perhaps you're not getting the responses that you'd like.
Hitting out at people for simply suggesting that you might want to take a step back to consider if you're current approach is best is unattractive and unnecessary.
If you think that your profile is superb then stick with it. My comment about profile advice wasn't made to suggest that you do or don't need any.
I think your attitude speaks volumes  |

Certainly wasn't my intention.

"Only write to those where you meet ALL their requirements. Then you will stand a better chance of a reply"
There was one young lady I messaged a while back, kept looking at her pics & profile (Yes, bit stalky I know....)
She was into everything I was, we fitted each other's criteria perfectly (so I thought) and finally, FINALLY I penned a message so lovingly crafted it was as if a silkworm had spun the very fabric of the billet-doux (Ok enough now)
Looking back at it, I may have gone on for a bit and somewhat over egged the pudding but she was fit as fuck & kinky with it....
Anyway, after about an hour of fine tuning, editing, rewriting and re-rewriting I enclosed 2 jaunty but not rude pics and pressed send........
10 minutes later I have a reply from her!
"I hate cut & paste messages"
So that was that. Loads of effort for a 1 line smackdown.... if I had emotions I'd have wept a little.
Maybe she didn't like the pictures of a fat balding middle aged Idiot.....
Maybe she wanted a picture of my cock and "fancy a shag?" Message....
I shall never know

At least attempt to write something witty and thought out, maybe at least 3 or 4 lines..
Read their profile, check their status update and take a butchers at their pics before you start putting your masterpiece of a message together...
Or don't...
It'll make it easier for the rest of us if you don't.. |

We are happy with short messages, as long as there is some thought behind it and it's not just "fancy a fuck" or similar we will reply.
We tend to put as much effort into the reply as the sender has done in the original message |

Sorry to hear that
My comment was based on what I would do if writing to someone and also what I would expect. Other folk perhaps think differently |

Oh don't be sorry Josie, I'm well versed in self deprecation, it's just the fact that I thought of all the things it wasn't a cut & paste message.
More recently I've just sent a bullet point list.... Shame it's not got tick boxes on it really 
Still makes me laugh though (my humour is 'different') |
