uniqueone Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I'm tired of the personals but, nonetheless, I did make my profile visible the other day. First of all, I haven't gotten many responses and before June I was getting tons of them. What's the deal? I did make my profile visible again for 2 weeks late June and didn't get many responses then either so I took it off again. But earlier this year, I got non-stop messages. Can anyone explain this? Do I have to go to a different site? (I don't really care for the others). Also, when a guy sends you a wink or an icebreaker or whatever that site likes to call it, if I'm interested, I send one back. And sometimes that's as far as it goes. Do they expect a MESSAGE back instead? The way I look at it is, if they wink and I wink back, then they should follow by sending me a message. Do men see this differently? Here's another thing....why send a wink if they don't have a picture? What's the point of that? I would think that if they didn't have a picture, they at least send a message to tell me more about themselves and maybe tell me that they could email me a picture. What's the point of a wink without a picture? So far, I haven't signed back up....just made my profile visible. I haven't been a paid member since May. The times I've made my profile visible since then, the not so plentiful hits I've gotten didn't encourage me to sign up so i didn't. I DID just get a wink today from a guy who didn't seem too bad. I winked back. He was online but that's as far as it went. Do I have to sign up and send him a message? I think they should be the one doing it.
directx Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Hey, you know what you might want to do? I'm just thinking outside the box a bit. Why don't you message some of the single women on that site (if you can), explain what you have experienced, and see what they think. Does that site you use have a forum? Again, I would only seek help from other women so there is no BS mixed in.

Just thought I'd throw it up for discussion here is all.
VIP Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I think if they send a wink that is not followed by a message, they are just playing around. May be you should sign up and initiate contact yourself. Believe it or not, many men are expecting a woman to write to them first, they feel more confident communicating with a woman who showed her interest.

I signed up for a free trial and sent him a message. Haven't heard back yet. Found out after signing up that I also had some other messages (you can't see them until you're signed up) so I replied to some of those too.
