The trying to stand out from the rest approach is the only thing I have going. I get that maybe some of my messages just get overlooked because women are inundated. But occasionally someone takes notice. Just have to be patient with it. That’s a trick I think a lot of dudes on here don’t click on to. Just don’t be a dick. At least when you get a response it will be in a more favourable light. That way you can actually have a conversation and get to know a person a bit before you jump straight in.
But that’s just me. |

Yer, because my profile is open for men to message I get a taste of what the girls get sometimes, opening line is usually some crass statement or a pic requeat, other day a guy just messaged 'suck me' repeatedly |

I'm put off by copy/paste messages right away. If key points are mentioned in the message from my profile I pay attention.
Some messages are so crude its baffling they believe they would even expect a reply back. A face pic that I ask for goes along way too x |

I need to re-assess my approach. Unfortunately my filthy dirt bag familiar keeps telling me otherwise. I am polite and creative with my impropriety though, is that ok?  |

Humour, linking to the profile so a demonstration you can offer what we're seeking & please, please, please no whinging, pleading or sense of entitlement. We don't even mind a naughty message so long as it shows you're what we're looking for X |

I simple Hi in my inbox will usually get a similarly simple reply such as "Lo" if I'm remotely interested but if their profile has no interest to me I just delete.
Put yourself in their situation, they send you a first message that says just Hi.
Doesn't really open many avenues of discussion and looks like they couldn't really be bothered. |

I like the first message, and all subsequent messages to address us as a couple. I don't think that's a huge ask.
Also, the line 'what are you looking for?' annoys the shit out of me. I can't help but feel these people are looking for wank fodder. Our profile doesn't take Einstein to decipher |

What are you looking for could be more of a badly worded question meaning have I got what you're looking for.
When messaging a couple, it can be a bit awkward to know how to address you. My experience is that couples mostly seem to have the male half reply first but maybe that's just me. I never really know if it's better to adress them as their username or their initials on the profile or just simply as "both" (i.e. Hello both of you...) |

Hello both, or even guys is always sufficient. For me, its an acknowledgement that we are a couple and that the sender respects that. The amount of messages from single males totally disregarding the fact that there are 2 of us is shocking. I'm not speaking for all single males here mind. There are some great ones!!!
Perhaps I should have explained better
