turn off for us, we have even had a few rather long messages sent to us that were obviously just cut and paste because we have received the same messages more than once. I think some guys subscribe to the theory that they will have a better chance of a return if they send out messages en mass. The more personalized the message, the better chance they would have. That's our 2 cents worth.

Sorry but if you can't take the time write a personalised message then forget. Chances are they haven't read your profile at all either.

Totally agree That along with no pics and the generic profile templates. To me they are not genuine or just plain lazy , and I have no tolerance for either ;p The one or two that I have replied to can't seem to converse very well anyway so it's obvious why they use templates !!- Posted from rhpmobile

I think people come here with the best of intentions, but because of the volume of applicants most women become jaded quite quickly and if they received a message from Shakespeare they'd probably reject it because they prefer a man who's groomed down there... Whereas most blokes become jaded because of the lack of response, so they start taking shortcuts. Pretty soon everyone is complaining :( I've got messages in my sent box that are 3 months old, but haven't been read... I meet their stated demographic, and they are current active members... I've had replys delighted at my contact, can't wait to meet... Nothing happens... No messages, no communication, no meets... We can all choose who, when and where to meet/have sex, but if we met at the pub, would we be lowering our standards ? Or are we limiting ourselves by listing our requirements/demographics ? Hp xo

Writer's cramp can be a bitch and when you've already got the perfect response in your head that can bu used multiple times a template is ideal especially if only to be polite and acknowledge the person. Yes I prefer personalised responses as a majority rule but sometimes a quickie beforehand when you're short on time for a full response isn't totally tacky. The template responses that have snippets from the individuals profile tend to annoy me and speak loudly that the person didn't really think about his/her audience at all prior to sending and also that they most likely didn't read your profile. I actually feel the same OP about people that put an "x" at thier sign off. I know some people do this because they are naturally affectionate, culturally pre-conditioned to do so or think it's normal. Personally I wonder to myself "How many people has he x'ed today?" Lol I don't throw my x's around willy nilly let alone the real thing. I save 'em for special people who I really like....LOTS!!! No harm in templates so long as they are used correctly I reckon. Just my 2 bobs. Time Efficient Safari

Don't mind if part of the message is template, like the part where the person writing me tells me about them and what they are looking for. But it needs to personalised, and the writer really needs to show me they actually read my profile. Saying you meet my requirements, when you're 5"7 and married, is a dead give-away.

If someone sends me a template message or even a "custom template" message. It seems as though it's been written especially for you, but then you get the same one 2 months later...I call it mass messaging & flirting with the expected return of XBasic marketing 101, distribute 50,000 brochures & expect a 1.5% return or 750 responses... Something like that.

Quoting 'Ms_Direct' Don't mind if part of the message is template, like the part where the person writing me tells me about them and what they are looking for. But it needs to personalised, and the writer really needs to show me they actually read my profile. I do use a template but I also like to personalise it. I use names wherever possible and i like to show how similar we may be and what we have in common. It's very easy to say " why don't you spend the time to send a personalised message" but it is very disheartening to spend a long time on a message to not even get a reply. There are only a certain number of ways that you can describe yourself anyway so that part of my message is coppied. After all, I am the same person and I am going to write the same thing about myself. It's hard to sell yourself, show people what a catch you are and not sound like a wanker. I think that I have the right mixture of fact and humour.....so i copy it. lol.

A GOOD template.... diesnt read like a template, and certainly won't make the reader feel like they're seeing one. Ms Direct is kinda right.... ...effective personalizing to prove that you've read someone's profile and/or forum comments should override any BRIEF templated lines that form part of your broader message. But if your template consists of ... "hey (insert name) your hot lets fuk I'm good all nite and have a big cock you won't regret it"... ....you're a dumbarse LOL DG

Isn't it? What you're really asking is "if they have not read your profile and/or spent the time thinking if you're a good match" would you reply? Well - we are new to this, but I know for myself that I would like my potential friend to make sure she knows more rather than less - after all, what is important, just the physical parameters, or the fact that I have a brain and aren't afraid to use it? :-) An intelligent girl will know not only what kind of message to send but where and how to send it as well... As for others - maybe I'm not sorry they haven't replied :-)

Quoting 'Highpriority'That application would receive the appropriate response... Yes ? Not completely sure what you meant, but I received a message on the weekend that I suspected was mainly template. However, the writer used my name and said the weather warranted staying inside and having sex until dogs howled, a clear reference to my profile. He even met my requirements. Those damn laws of attraction though, sigh.
