Hers is a variation I just used on a different woman, in addition to the other one-

"Hi Ramskiel(her handle),
You sound like a woman with diverse interests, a real Leonardoette:) Which country did you like best of all of those you listed?
btw I'm Mark and you can read all about me in my profile that even comes with a photo

Why did I single out your profile ? Well it was a combination of how well you express yourself and single small items like the fact that you care about animals, which means to me that you are a kind, caring person in general. I used to actually be somewhat of a Republican myself (she mentions in her profile that she is a Republican, and the fact that I have a beard, my profession, like the outdoors, am artistic, suggest I look more like a green party leftie when I am not) , and my parents are well known in the Washington State Republican party. Nowadays it depends on the issue, I am more of a Tom Campbell style of Republican than an Arnie or GW type of Republican (I am a teacher, and Arnold has no understanding of the profession whatsoever, to say the least). But it really depends on the issue more than the party for me. Anyway, I am writing to seduce you:), not debate with you, but I thought I would briefly explain my politics if that is important to you.

So I gather you have graduated not only professionally but also from Mr. Right Now to Mr. Right ?:)

What do you do in your spare time ( beside saving cats and dogs ? )

Well, you know the routine; read my profile which I will be happy to elaborate on by mail or over a cuppa coffee some day

We live about an hour apart so if you would like to get to know me better you can IM or write me also at xxxxx and it is at y a h 0 0. But lets be honest right ? I don’t really believe in lengthy mailing before meeting in person ( just a quick coffee-date at lunch or during happy hour to see if we kinda 'click' or not )

what do you think ?

Something as simple as "Liked your profile, check mine out" would be much more preferred by me than flattery.
Dude, you must be kidding!!! Guys usually find it impossible to get a woman to qualify herself, what gives???:confused:

I'm serious, why would you prefer someone replying half heartedly with a simple "liked you profile?" They're making it easy for you to determine if they are worth your effort. Yeah, getting a ton of emails is tough (women complain about this) but the would rather have a short, specific note rather than a canned "liked your profile."

scordate,

I hope you dont mind if I ask you something about this letter that made me think:

Why have you mentioned "read my profile" two times? She will read it anyway...If you say "read my profile" it wont increase teh chnace of your profile to be read, right?

Why have you mentioned "going for coffee" two times also? Is there any point in the repetition?

Dont you think "why did I single out your profile ?" part seems like you did something wrong and now have to explain it to her?
The impression might be similar to
"<Oh I contacted you? Sorry>..Why did I? Because...

Dont you think "lenghty mailing before meeting in person" shows exactly the oppsite - the email is quity lengthy for a first one?

What is "bfn"? Be fun? Best Friend? It does create a mystery, but its quality is questinable since it is way out of the norm to present madeup acronyms.


Anyway, conceptually the letter is quite good, but you put so many words in it... and repeated some stuff. I 'd simply squeeze it to 2-4 lines.

You sound like a woman with diverse interests, a real Leonardoette:) Which country did you like best of all of those you listed?

btw I'm Mark and you can read all about me in my profile that even comes with a photo
--- It is not smooth to insert your introduction somewhere in the middle...I believe you always have to introduce yourself in the end: either in the signature "Mark" or in the very last sentence.
Dont mention your profile and your photo. You would be better off talking about HER profile, what she said and her photos.

Why did I single out your profile?
--- Say it only if she asks you. Otherwise assume her profile is attractive enough for her not to ask questions "why did you email me anyway?"

I used to actually be somewhat of a Republican myself
--- Not really getting it: you are either Republican or not. You have to project confidence, lets assume impossible: she asks you So who did you vote for? If you didn't vote for Republicans you are in a trouble. If you did vote in a "correct" way, then why the heck you expressed that hesitancy by "somewhat"?
You know it is not about the best way to correctly express yourself. It is about to make you expression looking the best for women who cannot see you yet.

and my parents are well known in the Washington State Republican party.
--- Nah.. Dont brag about your connections. It is a good thing, yes, but dont do it so directly and so soon.

Nowadays it depends on the issue, I am more of a Tom Campbell style of Republican than an Arnie or GW type of Republican (I am a teacher, and Arnold has no understanding of the profession whatsoever, to say the least).
---- Now you are getting into a discussion and giving her too much details. Give her some mystery, some space to ask you questions. "I am Tom Campbell.. than Arnie" would do that.

But it really depends on the issue more than the party for me. Anyway, I am writing to seduce you:), not debate with you, but I thought I would briefly explain my politics if that is important to you.
---- It is a bit scary for women: you are too trying to be too selfexplanatory - if you are going to kiss her, you wont start with "May I? Do you mind? I'd liek to kiss you since you seem so sweet". Just dont include that paragraph at all.

So I gather you have graduated not only professionally but also from Mr. Right Now to Mr. Right ?:)
--- Very good question.

What do you do in your spare time ( beside saving cats and dogs ? )
---- Cliche... and I'd not ask that in the very first email anyway.

Well, you know the routine; read my profile which I will be happy to elaborate on by mail or over a cuppa coffee some day
We live about an hour apart so if you would like to get to know me better you can IM or write me also at xxxxx and it is at y a h 0 0. But lets be honest right ? I don’t really believe in lengthy mailing before meeting in person ( just a quick coffee-date at lunch or during happy hour to see if we kinda 'click' or not )
what do you think ?
---- You gace her so many options, that you come as a very Nice Guy. Usually women dont sleep with nice guys...they like when nice guys buy them dinners or buy them stuff, help them with their problems. Just mention your email, if she is ineterested she'll
let you know.

I can't find it on here so I made my own that reflects me a little better. I am interested to hear what people thing of it. I am trying to find a first e-mail that gets their attention.

10 reasons not to reply to me-

1. You may actually have to carry on an intelligent conversation that involves more than burps and grunts
2. I may actually enjoy going to look at art exhibits with you, not just pretend to enjoy them to kiss your behind, which is the kind of behavior you are probably used to from guys
3. I may actually get off the couch every once in a while, this may confuse you
4. I may exhibit old fashioned manners, like opening car doors and letting you order first
5. I do not change who I am just to please a woman, everything mentioned is who I already am as a man
6. if you are threatened or harassed by others when you are with me, I may be prone to exhibit unruly aggressive behavior (e.g. kick their what I can¡¦t say here or it will get edited)
7. I can actually find the countries you have been to on a globe, and may have actually been to a few myself
8. I may sometimes cook more than just microwaveable popcorn
9. The person in the profile-that is actually me, although I did shave me beard recently
10. I may not be Brad Pitt, but I am not one of those guys who has to be at the gym 3 hours a day, and can't stop looking at themselves in the mirror. I will actually pay more attention to you than to myself when we are, well, you knowļ

So,
1. does this reek of AFC ness and irrevocably, irredeembily flawed?
2. Good idea but need improvement
3. Really good, just change a few little things
4. Excellent example of a ****y and funny letter
any suggestions?

too long hon...

hmmm...there seems to be a lot of disagreement betwen y'all on here as to what a good intro letter is and what it should say and do. It seems both an artform and a science, where you have to be very careful and sensitive not to say something stupid. I am beginning to feel like this takes the skill level or a professional presidential speech writer-they obviously have to be very careful not to say something dumb either!

Actually,probably more skillful than a presidental speech writer. They only have to worry about being "politicaly correct" and not p' ing of their constituencey=pretty straightforward compared to figuring out women. Here I have to read the mind and deal with al the vagauries of what a woman I don't even know will read into what I write. Even living with them for over a year and I still cannot figure out what goes through their heads, geez this is tough! I sometimes think it is easier to be single and not bother.

It is just a different language.. ********. Yes, you have to know what not to say... and what to point out.
When you study foreign language you expect lots of new words and grammar rules. Here is it much easier - words are the same, grammar is the same, but there are some "rules"... in fact there are not that many of them.

Come up with a better letter, you'll get a feeback - it is the way you can learn much faster than just on your own.

I am glad you asked !

First; if you think too much, the result will appear as not spontanious, and I believe that spontaneity attract women ( or at least my kind of women !)

Second; repetetive ? well since you are not paying by word, i do believe that repeating something will make an impact; as to coffee - I am seriously trying not to have 15 mails to/fro before meeting the woman, but some women are reluctant to opt for a quick coffeedate straight away; they need coaching about that. Stating why I want one soon forces them to decide whether they agree with me or not, and I can ask them ( bust them), ok why not

second 'read profile' leads to getting quick date

i think its important to tell her why I liked her profile, simply if not most importantly, to avoid sending out form letter any woman will like to feel that she is special so this way I let her feel special without the nerdy I think you are special" typical line ! ya see ?

lenghty mailing ( it was meant as in many mails )
perhaps bad english on my part ( english is not my first language)

bfn i was under the impression that it was standard for bye for now ?

1. It depends. If you naturally think like a DJ sure, dont over think. For example I cannot think in ******** fast enough - I have to think, write and maybe carrect what I have written.

2. If you state one thing in one short email, it shows for women that this thing bothers you, that you are obsessed with it.
Thats how women think.
If you mention coffee twise instead of once, it will not imporve the chances she agrees, but it will show her that you are "obsessed". Not a good thing.

3. Why? If she receives an inetersting email, she will read your profile ANYWAY. If you mention "read my profile" you add some cliche and blend in with other guys.

4. Yes, but dont say directly "I like your profile because"... thats too direct of a compliment. There is no challange for her: she knows you already like her....She may lose interest quickly.

5. So you actually suggest to split that into several emails? ok.

6. Maybe. But many women unfamiliar with that thing, thats why I'd not use it.

Hilarious
Uncontrollable laughter segueing into embarrassingly loud snorting... Who knew we'd have so much in common? "





Here is my letter-

"Subject: You use a book as a doorstop?

I have read a few books like that myself, and they do have a few other uses once you are finished with them, doorstop being one.

It is not corny at all to appreciate the simple beauty of a sunset, I do too. In fact, I do so much that I have even painted and photographed a few. So did Monet, Van Gogh, Turner, and others. It is also very cool that you like to draw.

Anyway, if you are sufficiently impressed by the great work of literary genius that is my profile, we can meet over coffee, and if the chemistry is right, go on one of those hilarious, uncontrollable laughter segueing into embarrassingly loud snorting... Who knew we'd have so much in common? dates, and then when we have laughed ourselves silly, go somwhere where we can appreciate the beautiful simplicity of a sunset together.

-Mark

P.S.- You can also write or IM me at xxxxx and it is at y a h 0 0 if you are not a subscriber. "


argh....

some may think that I came on too strong, but I like to try to get them to visualize how romantic and fun time we could possibly have togeher, this has worked for me in other situations.

P.S.-this is one of eight letters I composed last night, this is only the most frustrating one of the eight for me, I really wanted a reply, and I know she read it.
I do at least get some coffee dates out of this, it is not a total failure, I just am frustrated I cannot interest the kind of woman on here who interests me.

I have actually met 5 of the women form here in the last week and a half-of those 5, The first one was Latin, 39, attractive, had 2 kids. Nice for something casual perhaps but that is all. She seemed really intersted in getting together again, but I think I waited too long to call her back because she never returned my call when I did anyway. She also lives about 50 miles away.

Woman #2, 41 years old, more overweight than her picture, I could tell right off she was a manipulative b**ch, and at the end of the date, after how she told me how her husband just left her, I could see why.

3rd meeting-slightly overweight but still curvy 36 year old attractive Latin lady with 2 teenage sons, was about to embark on a three week trip to her native Nicaragua and didn't seem all that interested in me anyway.

Date #4, and attractive, blonde, 30 year old gal whose husband had recently left her with two infant sons. i.e. enough baggage to ground a 747 but she was pretty hot and didn't seem totally psycho on first meeting. Still, she told me she would be on yahoo messenger and I have not seen her since, so I think she blocked me.

Last date-and attractive 25 year old who was sort of cool, she came from Afghanistan as a baby, but I don't think that would work long term because of the religion/cultural differences that were already apparent on the first meeting.

The three older ones initiated contact with me, so I thought what the heck. The two others I contacted, but of course they did not give certain details in their profile when I contacted them. So it seems the women I want basically don't want me.

I do not get to meet that many interesting women in my line of work, I feel at 34 I am too old for the clubs(especially by myself) and never liked them anyway, and I am new to this area, do have one college buddy who lives here, but he is married with 2 kids and so are all his friends.

Guys, it isn't really THAT difficult. Don't attempt to write the perfect letter, just drop a couple of lines to show that you are interested and that you are worth knowing. That's it!

I should probably expand on that.

I'd agree attractive women don't qualify themselves...which is why when a woman starts doing it, I start getting suspicious and thinking she's not as desirable as the impression she gives.
I've had this happen a few times: a woman writes me, appears very attractive and interesting from her profile, but something's not right. She's just too interested and trying too hard to make a good impression. When we finally meet in person, I see why.

At least with the ones who just write "Liked your profile", you can usually guess that they're attractive enough to know they don't have to put much effort into it. But, they're giving you an invitation for you to go running after them. Personally, I'd prefer them to write something specific, but have met some decent women who didn't say too much when we started writing.

--- You came up with a good opener idea "a book as a doorstop" but then what you did in the very first line is to degrade some books...why? What message it conveys? That you also read some
meaningless books? Thats not a good image to put in the first lines.

It is not corny at all to appreciate the simple beauty of a sunset, I do too.
--- Try not to use negative words like "corny". Make it positive instead.

In fact, I do so much that I have even painted and photographed a few. So did Monet, Van Gogh, Turner, and others. It is also very cool that you like to draw.
--- Now she sees that you convey the concept "Hey I do what you do, I like what you like.. I do what Monet Van Gogh did". Thats a bit fishy if you focus on it too much, it seems like you are like somebody else.. and where are you?
Anyway, I would not concentrate so much on what you like\dislike.
Focus on her without you.

Anyway, if you are sufficiently impressed by the great work of literary genius that is my profile,
--- It is subltle: you show her that you doubt she'll like your great work. Why?? Dont show that doubt, dont say any "if".

we can meet over coffee, and if the chemistry is right,
---
Again, no "if"s... just "..meet over coffee and go on one of those hilarious..."

go on one of those hilarious, uncontrollable laughter segueing into embarrassingly loud snorting... Who knew we'd have so much in common?
--- The last part you cliched from match.com description of fav. dates. Dont include any cliches!

P.S.- You can also write or IM me at xxxxx and it is at y a h 0 0 if you are not a subscriber. "
--- Dont explain her "if you are not a subscriber"... she knows if she is or she is not... she knows how to email you.. dont include those words that do not bring any new info for her.

Man, you must be kidding!! You met 5 women from online in one week? and I am giving you feedback how to write better emails? I have never had that impressive results, I think I should just shut up and listen to your method of how you got that many dates! I am serious.
Maybe what you write works much better than how we think it does?

Yes, I have had five meetings, but look at the quality of those women, they are decidedly NOT what I am really after. I am frustrated because I cannot seem to bag the ones I really want.

I know this may sound a little picky on my part, but my ex is a currently 27 year old hottie(9.8 on hot or not), who is a well educated, brialliant, and professional woman. Granted, she is also psycho, abusive, and cheats, which is why I am no longer with her, but It is very difficult to downgrade still (she also told me at the end that she was the best I would ever get, arrgh!). Especially when part of me wants to get revenge by showing her I am now with a better woman than her. More importantly, I actually do want a better woman than she was-all of her good attributes with less of her bad points. okay, I am rambling sorry...

I know this may sound a little picky on my part, but my ex is a currently 27 year old hottie(9.8 on hot or not), who is a well educated, brialliant, and professional woman. Granted, she is also psycho, abusive, and cheats, which is why I am no longer with her, but It is very difficult to downgrade still (she also told me at the end that she was the best I would ever get, arrgh!). Especially when part of me wants to get revenge by showing her I am now with a better woman than her. More importantly, I actually do want a better woman than she was-all of her good attributes with less of her bad points. okay, I am rambling sorry...
Sounds exactly like me. I met a lot of decent looking women, but they just didn't measure up to the ex, so I didn't pursue things further. There was just something about her...chemistry for lack of a better description, that she had that I haven't found since. Another part of it, I hate to admit, is that if I ever run into her again, I want to be with someone better looking than her (a blonde would really piss her off). Stupid I know, but eventually that will pass and I won't care anymore, but she's still fresh enough in my mind that I think things like that.

I've been off online dating for a couple months and just lazily pursuing women in real life, but I think I'll be jumping back in a few weeks from now.

Marcopolo, insomniac:

You guys seem like have really high standards for women, so I assume you can choose women even without online.

I have no idea why you think online women would be easier to get though: they require more work and they are more spoiled with attention from online guys: imagine if she is cute, she may get like 5-10 emails\invitations from all sort of dudes every days!

In real life she at least should go out to get some, online she'll get them anyway, 24/7!

How is this for a letter to a super attractive chick who doesn't say much (nothing, really) in her profile? Some of you may cringe, but there is some subtle sarcasm/humor in there which may not come across in a letter. Besides, what the h*** else do I say if she leaves me nothing to work with?


"Hi There!
You are certainly quite the hottie. I don't really need to tell you that, as I am sure a million and a half guys before me have made you aware of that fact-but it is a good icebreaker! Can you tell me more about you?

Anyway, you can check out the great work of literary genius that is my profile, and if you find me worthy of your attention you can write me here or at xxxxx and it is at y a h 0 0, and we can take it from there and perhaps meet over a cup of coffee.

Take care,
Mark"
