I read the whole thread, very interesting but skimpy on the details. I'm mostly satisfied with my profile and how I'm represented. I get a good amount of visitors and the occasional wink (usually from a tranny, but a wink's a wink) but I'd imagine the vast majority of women on online dating sites are waiting for the men to initiate the first contact. What exactly do you say in your first message to a potential match? "Hey nice profile. I also enjoyed the Autobiography of Malcolm X." "Hey I remember you from classes at [college]. How's it goin?" I'm very attuned to physical first impressions and the appropriateness of conversation. There's a dance and rhythm to it. I have no clue what to do to spark up conversations like this online.
I am most interested from hearing the female's perspective on online advances made to them and what specifically you are looking for in that important first message. What's the best way to convey attractiveness and desirability and to spur further conversation, and what comes across as creepy?
