OK, so this is a bit of a rant..read it or not. Wonder if other gents feel the same. What the hell does it take for a lady to respond to a request with at least a little bit of enthusiasm?
As a courtesy when I respond to an ad, in a break the ice "get to know you effort" I take the time to write a polite, informative introductory PM, with details such as my age, my build, my style, my preferences (politely worded...). I also include the fact that I have P411 with active references, etc suggest a day and general time frame that might work to meet. Frequently I also ask an easily answered question or two, so I can get a feel for the person on the other end of the PM.
More than half the time, I get a one line or response, that conveys about the same amount of interest a fish has in a bicycle. Needless to say, I pass. Why would I want to spend time (forget the money) with someone who can't take a few moments to return the courtesy with a few quick lines? Hell no!
Is it just me? Am I that much of a dud? Is the green color of my money that faded? I know I'm no Brat Pitt, but I'm not Michael Moore either!
Sheesh!
