Art_Critic Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 what about someone saying... you look good, or you are fine as hell? is that acceptable or is that a no-no? The internet equivalent of a cat call.. I would think no-no
bigmanpayne Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 The internet equivalent of a cat call.. I would think no-no too late. i did this yesterday. i saw someone's pic, thought she was hot so i emailed her and told her so. i commented on other stuff that was in her profile but i started off by saying...l "you are fine as hell" needless to say, she never responded.

Hell, no! I would have deleted you, too. Women that are hot not only know it, but are told it all the time. That kind of a comment would elicit a yawn and a speedy delete. Shows NO imagination and no interest in HER.
johan Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 It's a little hard to come off as being very brilliant with someone who all you know about them is what you see in a still image. I mean, who wants to read through a profile? Especially what some people write. After a couple lines, I'm back to the pictures. A year or two ago when I was feeling bummed out, I put in a half-hearted effort at the online dating thing. I never got a single date out of it, because I had no patience for it.
flc Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I may be different but when I am in search mode the sexy legs/cleavage pictures get me to look but I never follow up. My thinking is why is she putting herself out there like that, is her body all there is? I like face pics and full body pics because I prefer fit women but that doesn't require a lot of skin showing. I also initially screen by looks as physical attraction is a primary requirement. I read the profiles but they all sound pretty much the same. Then I send out emails and probably only have about a 10% reply rate. So far my best results have come from women who contacted me first but I feel I have been lucky, I have never had a bad date and now I am going out with someone I like quite a bit.
vonerik012 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 When a woman posts sexy photos, what exactly does she want the man to talk about? "Oh, I read your profile and it seems you like long walks on the beach! Me too!" Women online often times use body parts to get attention. If they are then offended by a comment, I feel they need professional help. If you want to be noticed for your brains, then make your profile very conservative. Yes, i know, you wont get 1000 emails then. I guess thats life.

How hypocritical to post a profile with sexy photos and then be all scandalized because the guy compliments you on your body... geezzz.. Or better... when the woman posts her profile in the Intimate Encounter but when the guy asks him about her sexual life..she gets all upset.. I just don't get it.. Plus I'm sure, like you said, the same woman would post a picture of only her face.. and might not even get one single hit

The catch Voneerik is that if you decide to go with the physical stuff in the email, right or wrong you will find yourself NOT responded to.. It is all your choice to how to play it.. do you want to get a reply ?.. if you do then stay away from the cat calls.. A woman may put nice pics in her profile and some guys may think they are sexy but that still doesn't mean she is looking for a man to only be attracted to her image rather than taking at the very least the first few bits of contact and making them about... say... what type of person she is ..
vonerik012 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Some people don't play those games. If someone uses their sexuality to attract attention, then get offended, they are a flake, and not someone I would want to date. I am not the one starting threads about lack of internet attention. It doesn't bother me if they respond or not. Do i really want a serious relationship with a woman flaunting her body in front of millions on the internet? No.
Phateless Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 What does this statement in an OLD profile mean? I am not sure that I am looking for a serious relationship, just looking to have some fun. I am not opposed to a serious relationship with the right person but I am very picky. This is the problem a lot of women have. They INTERPRET things that need no interpretation. He's gonna have fun being single with no commitment until he likes someone enough to commit to her. Simple. I think that's how most guys are.

A year or two ago when I was feeling bummed out, I put in a half-hearted effort at the online dating thing. I never got a single date out of it, because I had no patience for it. I have had guys not read my profile. Then they get all freaked when I tell them is is nice they are cool about my disability. Since I say the thing I can't live without is my wheelchair, and I explicitely talk about it in my "about me" thing, it really, really irritates me when they don't read it. Apparently I have stnning eyes or something, so guys look at that, and not the written word. I have now written "Look at my profile" under my pic, just so guys will read it. (In my pic, I'm sitting down, but in a regular chair. It is my favorite pic of myself. )
