care to share any of the really bizarre messages you have received?
I don't know if it's because Spring is in the air or WHAT, but the crazy guys are out in force! lol I really thought I had heard everything, but two messages I received recently have me going WHAT THE HECK???!
The first one: Hey there. Wow, you're 5'7"! That's really tall! I'm only 9 inches tall .
It took me a minute to get that one, roflmbo. Perve, lol.
But one I got a few minutes ago is just the most "out there" message I've ever gotten. The guy only has one profile pic...of his torso, lol. His message:
Hey, How are you? I certainly realize that that this is quite forward but i was just wondering if perhaps you would consider becoming my sister? For clarification, my request is sincere so I appreciate you taking this time to read it. I hope to hear back from you soon. Take care!
Well, alrighty then. I think I'll pass on THAT offer, lol.
I could write a book on weird and inappropriate messages I've received while online dating.
I've been propositioned for sex more times than I can remember, I've had guys ask my shoe size, bra size and if they could buy my panties all in first messages. I recently had a guy ask if I would watch him masturbate on skype and then watch him 'drink' the aftermath. I've also been approached more than once and been offered dominatrix jobs, more than likely due to my height.
I don't have any revealing photos, nor do I have anything suggestive in my profile.
I have noticed an uptick in weird messages lately though...maybe it is the weather?
One guy told me he was looking for a woman to "take charge intimately."
Another guy started off with "I could just kiss your face!" - he was also a bisexual crossdresser, and his primary photo was of him in a blue wig and kabuki type makeup.
Then there was the guy who was talking about how he was a respectful guy and intimated that we would one day become "lovers" in the first email - BAAARF

Do you think that the presence or increase in these weird messages makes it harder for you to respond to guys who send sincere messages that, to the extent possible, are tailored to your profile (it's hard to do if someone's profile is generic)? I've done online dating with very little success; never have I sent a lewd or inappropriate message.
Alright ladies, help the D out. What manner/style would most likely get your response in an online dating setting?
"Hey, I liked your profile. I thought it was funny, warm and intelligent [insert other complimentary descriptors as needed instead]. I share your opinion about XXX.
How is your summer/week/winter/whatever going?
Your Name Here"
I mean there are any variety of permutations that would work. You start off positive and offer some kind of compliment. Find a commonality and remark upon it. Feel free to be witty/humorous if you're good at it. Ask a question that is nonintrusive but will tell you more about her.
It doesn't hurt to appeal to a woman's ego. But if you have nothing in common with her and are just emailing her because you like her picture, I wouldn't expect an answer back.
Keep it to a couple of brief (1-3 sentences each) paragraphs.
