It wasn't in a list and was more conversational. But you see how so many women are full of sh*T? Don't send me smiles or winks but always leave off-"IF I"M ATTRACTED-lol

This. ^^ If you presented me with such a list, I'd not respond either. I'd figure you were a weirdo. I suspect SHE is quite normal.

With woman No, so I'm asking you for advice. How do I start a conversation online with a woman who doesnt say much in her profile?

Hmmm. Well first off, I usually don't contact anyone with a brief profile. I have had them contact ME, and then it went from there. (My current BF is an example of that.) What would I say? You know...it TOTALLY depends on their profile. You can't get anywhere with canned emails. Maybe something like this (obviously you need to write something that pertains to THEIR profile):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi...Thanks for the wink (or email, or whatever). I read your profile and thought you had a nice picture...I really like the one where you were on the boat. I enjoy the water but haven't had much opportunity to get near it lately. I'm usually pretty busy during the week, but warm weather is here so I hope to get out more now. You don't say much about yourself in your profile...I'd like to learn more about you, if you are still interested. Drop me a line if you'd like.


And sign with just your first name.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It really is NOT difficult. Let HER decide if she is interested in more, before you start asking questions!! But you really need to work on this. From all your posts...it is painfully clear that you are severely challenged in this area.

Did she answer your questions?

I often find that after a few emails (even just one) that coming up with questions can be difficult depending on how much information is in their profile.

Plus I hate just asking a laundry list of questions....takes the fun out of meeting and finding these things out later. So my amount of questions asked may dwindle depending on how much the guy is writing.

Or she could just not be interested. If she didn't take the time to find at least ONE thing to ask you, she doesn't care.

Oh groan and sigh. Another thread on the same old same old issues which beset Grasshopper at every turn. Groundhog Day ad nauseum. Get outside in the fresh air and hunt for Easter eggs and you might find a cute little bunny who'd like to play with you ...
