Just curious, if a guy writes less than you do in emails does that mean he doesn't care to get to know you better?

Depends on the circumstances, could be a number of reasons.

I have just the opposite problem. The women give me one sentence answers. Maybe I type too much?

no, it means he is a guy...

The last two e-mails I got here today were "Hi, handsome" and "How are you?" The only way I could write back with less than that is not to write back at all. So I didn't.

Hmm, guess it really depends on what they say. Maybe most men sometimes have nothing to say or the subject is boring.

But if you're having a good back and forth and all of a sudden he writes a sentence. That's a little odd. Means it wasn't flowing right?

My situation is probably not typical. Most of the e-mails I get here are either a.) very short, very vapid, very cliched, obviously from people who haven't even taken the time to read my profile, or b.) from people who have read my profile and want to argue with me about it.

I don't even bother trying to reply to those anymore.

Now, assuming I actually had an ongoing communication with someone, the fact that any one particular message I wrote was shorter than normal is no real indicator of dwindling interest. Some days I'm busier than others. Sometimes I haven't been given anything to work with.

On the other hand, I have a really short attention span, and, unless the person lives nearby and there's some sort of attraction there, I'm probably not going to keep things going very long anyway.

The responses to my texts/e-mails started to become very short and one worded even, from my gf. That was the about a month before I was dumped.
The relationship lasted for about 4 years up to that point. You never know. Be wary and be careful.
Hope that helped.

I've never had a guy respond with a longer email than mine. Of course, I can write a damn book so I'm not surprised by this. Guess it boils down to written communication skills or lack thereof. I wouldn't necessarily write the guy off (pun intended!) just 'cause you wrote two paragraphs and he responded with two sentences. If you start getting one word responses to your twelve pages, then you might be a bit concerned that you're not the perfect match.

You mean he's not a match for me? Im just chatting with the guy to be friends. But the other day i called him on something that offended me and he came crawling back even though i was almost done talking to him. This was after he said it. I think that may be the reason he's so uno-sentenced. But now its a little weird. He wants to chat now even more but he's writing so little. His questions are a bit terse and that's odd.

Agree!

Lex. Hi handsome! How are you?

But those were first approaches from strangers. I mean, give me something to work with. At this point, if there isn't some direct reference to something in my profile or from the forums, I just assume it's a scammer and I won't reply.

Back in the days when I would occasionally write back to one of these, their followup message would inevitably be "You can contact me at seemynaughtypics@yahoo.com and we can get to know each other better." No thanks.

Also, 95% of them are from Manhattan, which seems geographically stilted to me....

I do not respond to the illiterate, those who cut and paste the same reply to everyone or the very advanced who have a hot key to do that (though someone told me I am giving them too much credit to think they know how to set up a hot key LOL).

I had a guy write me that my profile was soooooo interesting but he could not answer any of my questions. I say right in my profile to feel free to Google. Anyone who does not get Chlorine Gas as an answer, FAILS. Also anyone who does not either take out a calculator or Google Pi, FAILS.

no. some are just menOfewwords.

Shshs if they write more then I do then I start to worry....

What I don't like is when they write you and from the get go they start asking a 1000 questions.....Helloooooooooo is that how you start a conversation off with a stranger if you met them out in person....shshshs wing it naturally..

so how are you? (haha)


sorry I couldn't resist. Ima pest that way sometimes

it depends - a lot of guys I chat with and write to don't write a lot every time, but I don;t either

I try to treat it like a convo

sometimes I will talk more - sometimes he will

in general a lot of guys do not write that much - especially at first. Just from a practical stand point I guess it makes sense to see if the friendship is mutual and is going to continue before typing out ones life story....

What about the girls who write less that you would like seems as were asking all the question
you can only try to make something out of what they give you to work with
