Its my impression and my experience that very few women contact men, they simply wait to be contacted (and then whine about most of the contacts). I had my last profile up for a year and I think I had 1, maybe 2 women contact both of whom I later met and one who became a friend. Writing messages to complete strangers is difficult. Personally I like the challenge of trying to elicit a response, provoke a conversation and I can't understand why anyone would send out one-liners or 'cut and paste' messages. But even still with just a profile to go on it can be tricky. I guess one could hang around IC posting on the boards and get chatting to people that way but it doesn't half eat up the time (I should be working right now) But please if you don't like what someone writes - don't be polite - tell them (and not us) what you didn't like about it.

you started talking about gardening in the second paragraph, you can't really expect men to read on can you! Capitalism succeeded through WOMEN | ||

i agree. i have never understood this oft used phrase...'i dont reply to oneliners'; it kinda says more about the recipient than the sender. Relationships, as from small acorns do grow. You make a pithy comment, maybe something random, you get a response, to which you respond if you feel its intelligent or amusing or engaging etc, and so on. We mostly meet people we fancy in corridors, in the smoking corner, at the same bus stop or in the same carriage on the tube each morning, grabbing a sandwich at lunchtime etc; and so it is with IC. i was accused of being lazy t'other day because, i assume, i wrote someone a dreaded one liner! Jeese! i just move along.

Do you find it strange or intimidating if a woman contacts you? Not being snotty, just asking out of curiosity, from a males perspective.

Unusual yes, intimidating no. On CM a lady from the USA once e-mailed me about my comments on an OP of hers. For a couple of months we exchanged emails. It was an exchange from which I learned a fair bit. EDITED SO IT ACTUALLY MAKES SOME KIND OF SENSE Edited 7 May 09, 2:58 PM by Mr_Anorak | ||

I'm not sure you have noticed that RL a different environment to a computer screen. No shit, Sherlock. In real life, our presence gives out a world of information without the need to introduce yourself with a ten page speech about yourself. A faceless memo is just that. you need to convey who you are to intrigue the receiver of your attention. Good back with your obviously winning technique, though.

This I find weird. Not unusual at all for women to get in touch. Why on earth should it be? Though, as I mentioned the other day, the difference in the quality of the memos, when I had the 'topping blokes' option selected, was genuinely shocking. Generally speaking, of course. Some guys can write good mail, and some girls can't, but...... Why poison your liver when I could eat it for you? |
