I was waiting all day long for this. I have the perfect answer for you, young man.

I have found the holy grail of getting replies from women on sites.

Insult them.

Not badly -- don't be rude, don't use swearwords, don't berate them. Just insult them gently. Find 1 misspelled word in their copy and tell them about it. This always gets a reply. Or you try to help them by telling them to drink less. Or to ease up on the donut situation. These ALWAYS, 100% of the time, get a reply.

Not your cup of tea? No problem, there is more in the bag.

Write them extremely nice, sucky, grovelling letters how beautiful, gracious and etherially dreamy they are. Or their eyes, or their demeanour. Try to use some French-original words. Don't go into nasty details. You cannot wonder to other body parts away from the eyes, the youth, the spriteness, the whatever. Don't say "hey, you've a beautiful face." A face is not something you mention. Stay away from naming the breasts, but if you have to, call it some dignified name like bosom. Legs, no, butt, no, belly-button, only in a cute joke, hands, yes, upper arms, no, because it makes you sound like a perv psycho. (I am an upper-arm man, and I carry and harbour this terrible secret penned up all inside).

Anyway. You can come up with the most blatant lies, but as long as you make it into a semi-believable romantic compliment, they will write back to you, send you a rose, thank you kindly and happily. Women have some code of grace; a compliment is a compliment is a complimen. A complimented woman knows and that it's not her role to be a judge to say whether it's true or not. Some see through them, some don't, some believe what you say, some don't, but they will all accept. In other words, a rose is a rose is a rose. Even going overboard or over the top is allowed, but only to a certain degree.

You must not write afterwards again. In both instances. If you write again to a lady who just sent you a reply to your insult, she'll get you banned from the site; if you write to a reply by a lady whom you had just complimented, you're ruining the whole effect. All of a sudden you'll feel like a wanton, dirty man who only put her on a pedestal so you could drag her off and into the mud. You won't actually feel that, she'll think you ought to feel like that.

I think if you write anything in between: a kind letter, a good letter, an insightful letter or a witty letter, you only chances of getting a reply is presenting your very good looks. If you ain't dashing, then stick with the insulting and with the wildly complimentary letters.
So this is it. If you want a reply, and you can be happy in and by itself with that, you've got the recipe above.

The best responses that I've gotten are from nudges, no really.

If I get a nudge back then I'll start up a conversation.


If somebody gets offended by something as simple as a nudge and does'nt reply then they have saved me the wasted effort in writing them. Very rarely will I send an actual first email instead.

Single and lovin it!!!

It doesn't go against our culture to respect other cultures

Respect is shown in order to be received, something we Americans have forgotten for some reason.

Not even!!!

There is nothing wrong with an equal world leader showing another equal world leader the customary respect they are due in their country.
