hey how are you?

I'm super. Thanks for asking.^That's my actual answer to this dumbass first-message. (No need to send it to me now, guys, you already know the answer)Anyone else find it weird/annoying when people get all conversational right off the bat in their first message without actually introducing themselves or stating their intentions?"Hey how are you?" or "How was your weekend?" is a 'courtesy question' to strangers, we all nobody really cares about the answer when it's someone you don't know. We know it's just the best you could come up with 'cos you have no imagination.I know the hope is that we'll answer "Horny, come right over!" but what are the actual odds of that happening? Fucking low, I'd bet... but I'm willing to be proved wrong.Guys, if the lame one liner message has ever actually worked for you, tell me how the fuck you managed it? I'm genuinely curious.Girls, how many of you actually answer that question and put the work in to get the conversation going and how many of you just ignore or send a stock answer/rejection?xx Sarah
