I/we see lots of profiles that don't want messages of the above. If you are one of these, what type of message do you prefer or are looking to receive? x

When we was meeting we'd send a message along the lines of 'we've read your profile and we like the bit about blah blah blah' take a peek at ours and get back to us if anything interests you. X

If they reply great if not then nothing lost.

Don't mind that ...

Hate ' fancy a fuck tonight ' when neither got a clue what each other look like. I could be a 25stone toothless dwarf

Oh gosh just looked in the mirror

Hey guys thanks for the reply.

We always ready a profile and mention we have read it. Sometimes mention something from the profile But can see this is as much better way to comuntcate and show that your not just sending generic messages or doing the old copy and paste. Great tip, thanks. It can be hard as lots of profile have very little to go from. x

"Hey guys thanks for the reply.

If the profile is pretty bare we'd move on as there are plenty of good ones, it just takes time searching for what your looking for but the rewards are great when you find it.

Good luck in your journey. X

I don't state it on my profile, but it is the type of message that I do tend to ignore. I'm going to try searching myself for a bit, because I've gotten to the point that most messages don't stand out anymore and I'm becoming a tad cynical. Time for a fab reboot, to see how the other half lives, haha

I've always wondered what these accounts are looking for as well, especially the ones that have that but give no information. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

I do wonder what is best to introduce yourself , because we’re all different in catching people’s attention, I sometimes struggle when putting things into a written message but thrive on a physical meet and greet

Let alone all the messages you lovely ladies and couples get which can then get lost in translation x

We tend to look at first contact messages as if they were letters as opposed to instant messaging. Would you go to the trouble of getting a pen, paper, envelope and stamp together, only to write 'hey how's u?

We're looking for the start of a conversation with various bits that we can respond to and throw in our own questions. It can be anything really. A thread we've posted to... The style of one of our photos... Something from our bio.

I think people need to appreciate the time and effort it takes writing a well composed and thought out first message. They are not that easy as you have to stand out, whilst being unique and non-generic but what happens more often than not is that there is either no response or its just a short response asking for a pic or something completely unrelated. This can become tiresome. I appreciate that there are a lot of single men on here so women do get bombarded but it's hard to really understand what a woman is looking for? This is my 3rd time on here in about 18 months and I've not had 1 meet but don't struggle on kik or other sites in the slightest. What makes this so different?

I actually do sympathise with this. I've been guilty of not replying to messages that were a little more thought out, because I wasn't attracted to a person's gallery or profile text. It does make me understand why some write very small messages/do a copy and paste.

Personally I look at the profile and pics of the messager first. If they don't appeal to me I often don't even open the message. Rude maybe, but my profile states what I'm looking for. So if it's a message from a blank profile with no pics, I don't respond

I agree with both these statements also but it I only go part on someone's profile text as some people find it very easy to 'big themselves' up or what's happened on some occasions is that it's completely false and has no relation to what they put in there. I'd rather chat, meet over coffee or drink to really find out about that person.

A profile text is a good indicator of a person's humour/personality. Generic texts that just tell you what they are looking and what they have done, are not profiles I'm drawn to. If they have personality injected into It, that's what piques my interest. Not so much what they say, but the way in which they have written it

Thanks guys again for the reply. It's so hard to write a message to stranger when basically your saying I think your pics are hot let's chat and maybe fuck. I am the kind of person who gets on with everyone and much prefer to go meet in person. But this isn't online dating so feels strange to ask about hobbies, jobs etc or am I wrong there? x

totally agree with you there really isn’t in my opinion a better way of deciding what people’s intentions or preference is until you meet them

I definitely look past the text and try and gauge a personality based on what is written and it's nice to hear you do the same. Unfortunately you are very much a rare breed in that field for a woman.

I also think these days people put filters etc in photos so you can't be to sure until you meet them.

I have enjoyed reading all your reply. Thanks

The thing with "Hey how are you?" Messages is they don't actually want to know the answer, so does it need to be asked

When I've given an answer of how I really am I've had an answer of "bloody hell I didn't want to know in detail!" Well don't bloody ask then lol.

Bit like when you're in the doctors and you see someone you know and say "Hiya, alright?" Ummmm I'm in the docs cause I'm perfectly healthy
