dispatch3d Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 I agree with the above guy and would go so far to say that very little "serious" talk should ever go on in dating.
MyNameIsJonas Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Pretty sure the OP was really only looking for female input, as he really only replied to the female posters. Regardless, a lot of people are going to put up a lot of tactics, but chances are none of them will work because they don't reflect you. Would you try someone else's methods of starting a conversation in real life? I doubt it. The key to successful messaging is trial and error until you find your niche. Then, maybe, your response rate will go from less than 5% to maybe 20-30%. Just don't expect miracles and remember to keep all of this in perspective.

This is a very false statement, there isn't anything you can really do to increase your response rate. That's just how online dating is, girls get so many emails, your odds of catching their attention are about 5%.

That's just how online dating is, girls get so many emails, your odds of catching their attention are about 5%. ...which is why I threw in the "maybe." Once I found my niche my response rate improved. Again, nothing astronomical, but it was noticeable as it increased from basically zero.

I think you need to have at least 3 good photo's. That makes a lot of difference.

Someone earlier spoke about messages and how they don't do anything and I wanted to clarify that message content is important. But yes, I do agree that good photos are equally, if not more, important.
