I've had this a few times. It does make me chuckle when I read messages that have been crafted for couples and then sent to me without changing the plural to singular.
That's making even less effort than no effort, if that's possible... |

Even better when they dont bother changing the opening line and keep another fabbers name in it...then when politely pointed out they may have sent message to the wrong person they get all shouty & apparently I am on my high horse...oh how I chuckled at that one |

"Does anybody else get generic shite that you can tell has been copied and pasted and sent to another 200 users?
Don't know how/why some people think it would work "
We've had the same message off one guy about 8 times . We could block him but it amuses me too much |

But on the other hand its understandable when so many of the recipients are either time wasters or won't bother to respond to a well written personal message. |

I do it all the time, and it works, why do you expect people to spend time writing a message specifically for you?? Does the opening message really matter that much ? |

I wouldn't mind if the person had at least read my profile first and taken out anything that was not relevant. I had one recently that started out 'Hi, hope you are well. Well I guess you are or you wouldn't be on here.....'
The rest of it was quite ok but one look at my profile would have told him that the first two sentences were very inappropriate in this case. |

Fair enough, but I don't understand why people expect a carefully crafted opening message, it is just a quick introduction  |

I agree. But it is difficult to have a one size fits all. You may still need to tweak it slightly sometimes otherwise it comes across as lazy |

Yes, I am an individual and if you cba to read my profile what else will you ignore?
Yes, it's the difference between a reply and ignore/delete. |

Oh I get a few.
You know when you read a message and think 'I've read that before', well I've started copying n pasting their message in to their private notes. And guess what, I have been sent the exact same message, same typos, double punctuation 3-4 times now. |

Really ? So a carefully constructed message from a minger compared to a quick hi from someone you find attractive? Who gets the reply |

Yes really. And quick "hi" messages don't come with face pics in general, so there's no telling who's the minger anyway.
And looks really aren't everything. |

No I wouldn't. But attraction can come from things other than looks.
Put it this way, a decent looking guy with good chat and manners will win over a great looking guy who thinks he's the bee's knees. |

We've had copy and paste messages. I know because they've sent the exact same message more than once in a week, containing info that didn't marry up with us and a couples profile. I don't mind to an extent as long as there's a degree of personalisation and it makes a bit of an effort. |

To see if they are initially attracted to me. I would never dream of sending a cut and paste random repeated (and obvious) message x |

C&P means not enough gumption to write a quick message based on a woman's profile.
Men don't seem to realise where all the clues we work with come from |

Maybe your profile isn't worth an individual message,you have to bare in mind that men tend to send the first message, your profile needs to stand out for us to make an effort |

Each to their own, but it contradicts your 'lazy' statement as it takes less time and effort to wink that send a copy and pasted message |

I'm a man, so I rarely get any messages
But my wife and female friends often get copy/paste messages. Very occasionally one is amusing enough to elicit further interest, but more often than not it is an instant delete. Lazy, unimaginative and symptomatic of a scattergun approach. |

As the original thread was about receiving copy and paste messages I'm not sure where you are going with this? I personally don't like receiving a message where the sender hasn't even read my carefully worded profile and has sent the same initial message to hundreds of women previously. I do wink but that's my preference! I stand by my "lazy" statement of receiving copy and paste messages. |

Yes, I think that most people want to feel that someone has taken the time to consider their profile and construct a message that is tailored to them.
If you can't be bothered to write two or three lines....perhaps you're equally lazy in bed...
And yes, as a guy I am aware I'll have to think of 20 messages to write to 20 different ladies before I get a reply...and that doesn't bother me. |

The lazy in bed analogy is bollocks, you could say all fat people are 'lazy in bed' because there can not be arsed to excercise and lose weight, or people with short profiles are to lazy etc etc |

You could, and people do...and I prove them wrong by being fat and very active.
A first message is your only chance to make a first impression. A cut/paste job does not make a good impression unless it is *very* amusing. |

"I do it all the time, and it works, why do you expect people to spend time writing a message specifically for you?? Does the opening message really matter that much ?
Yes, I am an individual and if you cba to read my profile what else will you ignore?
Yes, it's the difference between a reply and ignore/delete.
Absolutely this. Plus I think that if they're lazy in sending messages that they'd be a lazy shag
How often do you send an opening message??
I block all men hun so I just wink tbf. But I've also had a couples profiles on here and I made sure that my opening message was original!
Would you say that winking is more lazy than sending a copy and pasted message??
Nope hun. My initial message is always relevant to the person I'm sending it to
Why do you send a wink then??
To see if they are initially attracted to me. I would never dream of sending a cut and paste random repeated (and obvious) message x
So, you wink and then expect them to message you?? That is very lazy
Nope I wink them to see if I'm their type? I'm tall and have small boobs. I'm not everyone's type
?? But that is lazy, if a man winked at you what would you think??
I'd think that he was seeing if he was my type? I prefer getting a wink to a generic sent to obviously hundreds of random females message anyday
Each to their own, but it contradicts your 'lazy' statement as it takes less time and effort to wink that send a copy and pasted message
As the original thread was about receiving copy and paste messages I'm not sure where you are going with this? I personally don't like receiving a message where the sender hasn't even read my carefully worded profile and has sent the same initial message to hundreds of women previously. I do wink but that's my preference! I stand by my "lazy" statement of receiving copy and paste messages. "
I'm with you on this. They havnt read because they are totally not what I ask for. So go away |

I think the opening message is very important it either gets me to respond or delete. And yes they should spend the time and send me a message I am an individual not generic |

I had a guy do that but didn't even change the name in the message and then had the cheek to ask to meet |

I've heard so much about these copy and paste messages. Has anyone got an example of one.
I always write every message and address them to the individual or couples profile. It helps if profiles are read.
That aside, my reply rate and success is pretty piss poor so I'm still doing something wrong even though the people I have met have complimented me on my message abilities. Strange |

"Copy and paste complimenting my photos and figure, if you can tell what size and shape I am from my lips you work pretty damn well!"
Just like the guys who send a one liner such as "hey beautiful" or "Lovely pics" and the lady hasn't even had time to upload any photos.... |

Yes as I said previously, I wink to see if there's an attraction and if I get a wink back I will write an original message in return; it doesn't take too much effort |

"Hi I have just viewed your profile and really liked what I read.
You seem genuine which is a really refreshing as there are so many idiots currently on fabs.
I am a 6ft tall medium build guy who enjoys meeting people and making friends I am not looking to sleep my way through the site I am looking for one or two special people to meet up with have a drink or two a good quality chat and maybe some fun.
If you like the sound of me please come and say hello"

Copy + paste messages don't bother me at all. Unless it's vile language or addressed to a couple. Then I'm not what they're looking for. |

"I've had this a few times. It does make me chuckle when I read messages that have been crafted for couples and then sent to me without changing the plural to singular.
That's making even less effort than no effort, if that's possible..."
Lol I've had the same and without changing singular to plural when I've had couples profile  |

I sometimes have just a dot as profile text. They say "I love your profile".
I say "what did you like about it?"
It goes quiet for a minute as they 'read' my profile for the first time....
"Errr I like that you're a woman".

Interestingly though...as couples or single women, and I speak from previous experience couple wise...you have a very very different experience on the site to single men.
You get messaged often, and get replies to a high percentage of emails.
Single blokes, typically, get maybe a 10% response rate if they are very lucky...and I know this from chatting to many people at socials.
That response rate, it seems, doesn't change much whether they copy and paste, or write a specific message each time...especially considering parts of every message tend to give the same/similar info.
You can sort of understand why after a while it becomes soul destroying and C&P is used..
Just an opinion. |
