I can't help but wonder what my competition sounds like. I have noticed that I can detect a guy's interest simply through their messages/texts. I'm wondering if women are as clear? I sound like a child when I text/message.. Using exclamation points and emojis. If I'm trying to play it cool I'll sound more normal.

You probably don't know how to respond to this message... Call me crazy but I have always wanted to read a guy's OLD message inbox.. I don't want to set up a guy's profile just for this. If you could let me read the messages that would be great... Haha.. You can DM me or post them here if you like. Don't worry I won't judge. I don't know you anyway. I'll share mine if you want.

Because the people who sent those messages did so with the expectation that those messages would be shared with 3 million people on a public message board?

I don't understand that second paragraph. Is that a message you actually sent someone? Or are you asking the guys on here or what?

Don't you just want to present yourself as you? Why would it matter what other women sound like? If it's just simple curiosity, I can't see that many guys would be down for just sending some stranger the contents of their inbox. And I think it would be pretty rude for a person sent a message in confidence to just pass that message along to a stranger who was "curious." It doesn't matter whether he would be sharing her personal info or not, if he gives you her name or not, I don't care, my gosh but that would be rude and wrong.

Don't worry what other women sound like. You're you. You want someone who will like you, not some other woman. Good luck.

Are you asking how "women" come across in their profiles or messages? Like whether they're direct about their interest or lack thereof, diction, writing style, conversation?

It probably varies a lot just like it does for "men." There are a lot of factors involved in how an individual comes across.

I guess you are wondering how women sound via written communication?

If that's the case..... I sound like that ^^^^.

I've only ever used tinder and pof so take it with a grain of salt but it's pretty simple imo. Responsiveness. If she's responding and you're building rapport, she's interested.

In my experience with those sites, attractive women receive so much interest online from thirsty dudes, responsiveness is a clear indicator of interest.

This is true--I never respond to someone I'm not interested. I used to send a polite thanksbutnothanks to those I wasn't interested in, but I've found this to be more problems than it's worth--they will take any answer as encouragement.

I know that my messages back to men don't sound as eager as theirs because I don't want to scare them off. I try to keep it going by asking them at least one question though--that's how I show interest. I do not mention their looks or how great we'll be in a relationship, though I often hear that from them. So no, from my experience, we are not nearly the same.
