A lot of people don't realise that you catch more fish with a baited hook.

Actually yes I do love it My top 3 best first time encounters all were with guys who had and still have no photo's and jack shit for a profile. Funny that

I hear you its an individual choice on how people present themselves online and offline. I articulate my thoughts well so I am attracted to like minded people. I don't waste my time and energy on people who don't reflect what it is I seek. If a man can string a sentence and carry a decent conversation the odds are my interest is piqued. You only get one chance to make a first impression

I agree. I simply pass those ones straight over.
When I came onto the site about 100 years ago, I decided i needed to create a marketing tool (for want of a better term) and spent quite a lot of time on my profile. Its like the cover of a book, or packaging of a product. Sounds a little crass, but its how we?re wired in the 2 st century.

Companies spend millions$ to get a product into the market place. All it took me was an hour or two.

Yeah getting tired of explaining to people with no profile why "hi" or "where are you" isnt really going to get anywhere with me. Some days it feels like pushing bamboo under peoples nails to get any idea of why they are here!

Exactly. Or those that say hi or Im keen wont work for me but list no interests or info to start a conversation. I recently on another site pushed out a message "You look like you enjoy a red wine, lets sample some together" all the responses said no I dont. But at least it started a discussion.

hahahahaha very funny. spontaneity is the key..

Nice comment cc yes it?s more about having conversation that leads to some sort of connection,many profile aren?t exactly honest anyway

All for conversation. But when a profile has nothing in it. No wonder the majority of conversations are "Im keen" or "wanta fuck" How hard is it to include love Ball room dancing or playing Scrabble or whatever your particular interest is. Maybe then they would get a conversation

Exactly

I had a good one this week. I got a friend request from a woman I have never spoken to and when I looked at her profile everything she wasn't looking for was exactly what I was and then at the end of it it says not to send her friend requests if you haven't spoken to her first
