"Five messages in my inbox this morning all saying the same thing.

Lol....It's a polite form of greeting and certainly more preferable to "wanna fuk"
It's nice to be nice. |

Ok. So I reply five times with a 'fine thanks'
What comes next? Go on, give it your best shot. |

We get everything from 'wanna fuk' to war and peace. We ain't offended by either. Just seems of a weekend that people are more likely to send the shorter messages. Must be something to do with the consumption of alcahol. Lol |

You are just boasting!! Ive only had 3 'Hi's' ....

Morning all, how is everybody? 
Sorry, couldn't resist - I'm sure you've had far worse messages than those too, I've had some boring ones recently and I usually just respond in equal measure like a one liner, or ignore them as they usually just don't give good first impressions. |

If I'd sent a message to someone saying 'morning,how are you' and all I got back was a 'fine thanks' I would not reply. This to me would sounds like someone who is only interested in themselves and doesn't know how to continue a conversation correctly. |

I get the amount of messages woman get is hard at times but seriously, what's so wrong with a polite intro. I treat the ladies on this site like I would treat them if I met them in a bar. If I Said "hi how are you?" in public then it would be totally acceptable. However if I came out with a list of things id like to do to you, some strange request, flatter you incessantly, try to be funny in some way to make me different from the rest of the people in that particular place most woman would probably think "what a bell end".
I often send a quick Ahoy there simply to gauge interest. If it results in a no reply so be it. |

Spot on, mate. I think some of the women on this site have let the copious amounts of attention they receive go to their heads. If someone's made the effort to contact you, and they're friendly about it, then have a bit of respect, you're not the Queen fucking Mother. |

I would prefer a polite message to one telling me how gorgeous and sexy I am. They would only have my photos to gauge my gorgeousness and sexiness and I don't show my face. |

Indeed. Or send messages instead of waiting disdainfully on their thrones. That will pop their massive ego bubble. |

If your approach is polite you are classed as boring. If your approach is rude (as in sexy rude) then you are classed as 'another one of them'.
Tell us ladies, how do we get it right? I have tried polite and sexy. I try to adapt my message to your profile. 9.5 times out of 10 there's no reply. Just a delete.

I'd suggest patience. Ladies are in a difficult position because they get tons of messages. They are usually in a tougher position in life than men, so a big respect to all of them! |

"

you stay true to yourself, you stand high and believe you have every right to be here...
you send nice messages, ones that are crafted with what you offer and what the other person seeks.
and if you get a reply, great 
if not, cool.
the second people start to slither over others on here, they start to lose the game.
because it is a game a lot of the times. |

But they don't have to get tons of messages and even if every message was unique and well thought out women would still come on the forums and complain. I don't need respect for allowing hundreds of men to message me and then moan about it or the contents of the messages |

this post makes total sense.... However, for us 'morning how are you?' From a profile that's very sparse wouldn't normally get a reply from me as it would collectively suggest a lack of effort rather than an polite 'feeler' message. If it's a decent profile iam more open to one liners; I'll reply with a bit of blurb and see what that elicits. If the second second is still very basic I tend to then make the judgement.Bugs is more ruthless than me and tends to delete one liners esp if they don't appear to have read our profile, as he sees them as a filter.

Well, if I respond to a profile it means that I find that someone attractive - either photos, or the way they describe themselves, etc.
So in such circumstances I compliment them, and ask the "how are you" in a different less boring way.
What about you? |

"Oh woe is you. It must be sooo hard being a woman, all that attention and people wanting to talk to you all the time."
A prime example of the usual "power" thing which some single Fem's seem to "get off" on here. It's an ego boost and a welcome break from the "real world" where I bet if one of these guys who sent those messages was to walk up in the street and say exactly the same thing to their face their reaction would be completely different as there is nothing wrong with a polite "Good morning" from a stranger. This is one of the negatives of FAB.  |

I wouldn't compliment a man in a first message though. It does nothing for me receiving them so I don't do it myself unless I'm in bed and I want to say it |

We get hi hey or hello all the time. Sometimes answer if we have time other times if we are swamped we don't.
The messages with a little effort always stand out to us. It's a simple formula to get a reply really.

Talk about first world problems. Nothing wrong with a polite and short first message. Shows interest, check out their profile if you like what you see respond and see how it goes, if you don't delete or send a thanks but no thanks.
It's a ridiculous reaction to have start a thread over this. Wait until you receive an "I want to eat your shit" message then you can show some outrage. |

This all the way
I would be really pleased to see five nice polite messages in my inbox in the morning
And by way of reply they would all get one of two things...
'I'm fine, thanks for asking, how are you'
or
' I'm fine thanks I hope you are well too, but having looked at your profile you are not for me sorry, happy swinging'

Easy tiger
I are nothing wrong with that sort of opening line, I respond in the same way, if they send just a "Hi" as some do that's all I reply back, some send a good paragraph to start and I will thank them for their mail etc.
They probably think they are the only ones contacting you on that day, cut them some slack  |

I will also talk to those that don't have much on their profile- but only usually if they've made more effort with the message, but it introducing themselves with panache or referencing our profile or occasionally forum posts. I try to take each message on its own merits. |

From a profile that's very sparse wouldn't normally get a reply from me as it would collectively suggest a lack of effort rather than an polite 'feeler' message. If it's a decent profile iam more open to one liners; I'll reply with a bit of blurb and see what that elicits. If the second second is still very basic I tend to then make the judgement.Bugs is more ruthless than me and tends to delete one liners esp if they don't appear to have read our profile, as he sees them as a filter.
That is fair,he drew attention to himself,you looked and made a decision based on that. His fault for not having anything to look at. You can't talk to everyone who says hello so you make a decision by what is on their profile
I will also talk to those that don't have much on their profile- but only usually if they've made more effort with the message, but it introducing themselves with panache or referencing our profile or occasionally forum posts. I try to take each message on its own merits."
It works like that for me too. |

"I get the amount of messages woman get is hard at times but seriously, what's so wrong with a polite intro. I treat the ladies on this site like I would treat them if I met them in a bar. If I Said "hi how are you?" in public then it would be totally acceptable. However if I came out with a list of things id like to do to you, some strange request, flatter you incessantly, try to be funny in some way to make me different from the rest of the people in that particular place most woman would probably think "what a bell end".

Same here. I've chatted to some really interesting people that just sent a first "hi" message. |

"So a man is a prick for being polite?
My thoughts exactly,I would hate to be a guy on here at times!
If they really knew what some of these women were like they wouldn't be sending them messages at all. I know I wouldn't
If I'd sent a message to someone saying 'morning,how are you' and all I got back was a 'fine thanks' I would not reply. This to me would sounds like someone who is only interested in themselves and doesn't know how to continue a conversation correctly."
What a load of rubbish, 2 words doesn't give that at all, it suggests they are fine but don't want to engage in conversation with you |

i really dont understand why anyone would slag off someone sending a polite message...as has already been said, i'd look at profile and if its not attractive to me, reply 'fine thank you, but not what im looking for'.....what is the big deal....enough really crass,crude messages get sent to me that i appreciate a polite one, however brief.. dont put off guys trying to be polite even if their first message may be a bit uninspiring!! |

"Five messages in my inbox this morning all saying the same thing.
'Morning, how are you?'
*i may have adjusted the spelling slightly for ease of reading."
Congratulations. I had some messages once too! |

Totally agree.
Love getting polite messages myself, even if i don't reply to them. |

Gosh, some of you have a chip or two on your shoulders! Did you get out of bed the wrong way?
It says on my profile I'm not meeting, but really, I was pointing out in jest five exactly identical, useless messages.
If I reply fine thanks, or similar, I get a continuation of banal, boring questions from folk I don't want to meet.
If I say thanks for the message but it's a no thanks, I get hostile replies stating that they didn't want to meet me anyway so I exercise my right to delete.

I always try to steer away from the hi, how are you message.
Reading their profile and trying to find something to chat about there seems to help.
If I send a message and get no reply, no harm done - take it as they are not interested and move on ..... |

I'm well aware you didn't call me rubbish,nowhere in my comment did I say you did! However,just because I may have a different opinion to yours does not make my opinion rubbish. Please respect peoples differing opinions without being insultive. |
