So I see it a lot on profiles
" Don't be boring and just say hi be creative and stand out".
Just wondering what's wrong with just saying hi ....
Thats how i was taught to introduce myself ..... With hello.

You're not crazy, it's just.. a lot of people would like to cut to the chase and for those of us who get dozens if not hundreds of messages starting with one word intros, it gets tedious.
Think of it like email.. would you send an email to someone simply saying "hi"? |

On this site and any site I think a 'hi' or a 'hello' or even 'how was your day' with no other added commentary can be difficult to bounce off with a reply. I find it very sort of boring.
I am more inclined to reply if the msg contains an interest from my profile or a conversation starter.
Obviously some people won't reply even if you have used the above but chances are there will be more 'bite' to your intro msg.

I find it very hard getting convo started. I read Profiles and find something from that to start a message. Yes I do start the message with, hello or hi or hey then introduce myself and add message relating to there profile or interest. But I get very few replies. Not had any meets yet. |

"If someone starts a message with hi or hello that's fine.
If that's their whole message, it gets deleted."
To be fair, if they see your pictures they might be so intimidated they just cum on their pants as soon as they type "hi" so that's partially on you |

If someone's impulse control is that poor then it's definitely best to delete the message than waste both of our time then. |

I clearly state on my profile 'No one line messages', I say this as I am sick to death of people contacting me without reading my profile in full.
I like people who are imaginative and intelligent, who are able to string more than few words together.
Does it work?......No, every day I get one or two word messages sent to me. |

Fab needs to put something in place that if it's not more than few lines unable to send  |

Certainly sorts the wheat from the chaff 
It's been a while but I used to like the yes/no game, any 5 questions where the answer has to be yes or no. Gets very creative face to face. |

It is tough starting on here. My biggest gripe is where I put a bit of effort in and just get an angry retort. I sort of get it though, if you’re a woman on here getting inundated I can see that you’d get arsed if the opening comment wasn’t exactly as you wanted…..
I’ll keep trying, at least I can spell unsuccessful!! |

"Just had another message:-
Great tits!
Where the fu_k do you think that's going to get you! ( another delete) 
They are great though, Mr has a nice cock too. "
Nice of you to say so.. hahaha at least you addressed both of us. |

in between those great tits  . To be fair these messages are just messages without any intention of ever meeting, |

Spot on Something open ended that doesn't just dead end in 'yes / no / fine thanks, you?'. Something about our profile or a forum comment that's not immediately sexual can be a good opener. It doesn't need to be an essay or a work of Shakespeare. |

No you are not.
I will always suggest anyone to be themselves. If people don’t like your polite introduction, I’d assume you’d never get along anyway.  |

It's hard getting yourself out there as a single guy. I read Profiles and adapt my first messages to what the Profile is like. I start them with hi or hello and introduce myself them start trying to make convocation. But sadly been on here 5 months and not meet anyone. Must be The amount of message couples and woman get from guys. must be a pain in the ass so can agree with one liner messages are a no no. |
