Now that I have the men's attention, lol! Guys, what gets your attention
when a girl e-mails you for the first time, to introduce herself. I feel
like if you write too much, frankly it is a waste of time, because
sooooooooooooooo many people will not reply (this has been my experience
on match.com, local newspaper personal ads, myspace--yes!!! I am leaving
no stone unturned! ) I try to be brief, a sentence or two about
something in the person's profile. I just don't know if that is weird or
not.

Nice hook River.

Not sure I havge enough trouble writing that first one myself.

Well, did anyone ever write you? Was it lame?

Yes. But not a female. I mailed a lady. It was short but by no means was
it a classic piece of writing.

I guess if it sounds sincere and the writer doesn't come on like a
charging bull it will at least get a response.

Write me! Let's see what ya got! (This was a bigger hook than you
though!)

LMAO....You tricky. Will do. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

Evidently, I was born to be underwhelmed.

I usually just say hey whats up? or something just say u like their
profile.

Bug off. I got something going here. JUST KIDDING!

Rivergirl, I like your attitude. You go, girl! :)

Well, he never wrote.

goooooooooooooo river...

That sucks. :(

I ask them what theit favorite bird is, and if they say swallow, I know
they are cool!!!!!!!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
