Found out about a way to find better matches, regardless of what dating site you use. It’s called Weopia, and its a virtual dating world that you invite someone that interests you. Since using it I’ve had way better dates, and I’m finding guys that seem more compatible in much less time. I was super skeptical when I checked it out. Let me tell you ladies, its renewed my faith in online dating and dating in general. My bf that told me about it found someone that she got serious with too, and she had been using online dating for something like a year and only had a few dates in that time. She calls it being selective, I call it picky. But either way, that’s my online dating tip for the day.

Your post is thought provoking and easy to digest because it’s simple and readable in nature. It give me more interest to revisit your site. Keep it coming!

I was on a dating site for over a year where it was free to send a wink and reply to a wink, but sending the first email had to be purchased.

I did send out some winks to men and in all cases they replied that they were interested and looking forward to my email. To me this wasn’t about the cost of the email, but demonstrated to me that these guys either weren’t interested enough in my profile to send me an email, or else they were interested but willing to take the risk of me not emailing them. I am not interested in men like this..whether online or in person.

So, I don’t send out winks anymore..it just didn’t work for me!

I have never been comfortable with contacting a man first. I think nature is nature and you should let the man do his job. Pursue the woman. I have many a female friend who brags about contacting the guy first and I think it just comes down to being patient and holding out for a man that will put in the time and the effort because he is totally into you and that is clear.

I’ve received both kinds of emails.
Some just with photos and little or no small talk and some
with three paragraphs. It makes no difference to me. If she’s hot I read her Bio and contact her.

I’m going to have to disagree with your assertion that women should avoid mentioning anything from the man’s profile.

When I first started online dating, I received dozens of e-mails and winks from women. These women were young and pretty, but there was nothing that indicated that they had looked at my profile (except the picture). I got the distinct impression that they were sending out hundreds of e-mails.

After that first impression, I’m somewhat cynical about the women who contact me. I start with the assumption that they haven’t read my profile … unless I read something in their e-mail that indicates that they read mine.

After a woman catches my attention with an e-mail, I’ll take over the pursuit from that point.

Why is it again that woman can’t make the first move? I realize “chasing” is out of the question, but in general what is the big problem? So I start a conversation if my smile didn’t seem to do the trick.

I agree about revealing too much before there is even a first date. Keeping a little mystery gives you something to talk about and gives a bigger incentive for him to show up.
