The one line message

January 08 2012

Ok so this is probably another one done before but i sear i did a search and couldn't find it I really don't understand the one line messages Some people seem to use the messages like a chat function with a simple " hi, how are you going?' message I do state on my profile (if you manage to read that far) that one line messages will get one line replies but it doesn't seem to deter them.I would think that given you only have a set number of messages a day that you would want to make each and every one of them count so i guess what i really want to know is does the one line message ever really work and lead to something further?Has anyone on here sent a 'one liner' and ended up meeting the person?Has anyone ever received a 'one line' and ended up meeting the person?And for those that send them, why????look forward to the responses,WBYM

    I used to put this down to sheer laziness, until a guy that sent me just a "Hi" message explained to me (when I replied to him that he gave me nothing to reply to)...he explained that most messages don't get answered anyway and that he used to do long detailed messages which incorporated the girls profile in it...but got over it and now just sends quick messages. I then told him that he needs to treat each person he messages as different to the ones that don't reply or even open the messages as he may be missing out on a sure thing! Having said that though, I met one guy who sent me a one liner and sex with him was like his first message...dull and unimaginative! Never again! xFunlovingx

    Also, it could be the chat feature (via profile, not the chat rooms) that sends a message if you dont respond to the chat...

    Maybe they look at the profile and then want to message the person but have absolutely no idea on what to say. Joey Triviati from "Friends" perfected this with his "How You doin'?" It worked for him. Yes I have met a man that sent me a one liner. Further more he was way outside my age criteria, his profile was very brief . to say the least, and he posted absolutely no pics. I got a message..."Do you want to play?"....I only wanted to teach the cheeky young bugger a lesson, Honest I did. 18 months later we have a fantastic friendship. We dont meet often but we do text and chat on a nearly daily basis. My life would be sadder without him in it.

    You know some people really don't know how to strike up a conversation. Some do the one liner howdie. Some do the question that will certainly elicit a yes or no answer with no hope of any follow on... it's a learnt skill to communicate well in writing... and it's not everyone's relm. You could be doing yourself a disservice by letting them go.... so, why not probe a little deeper... before you decide to discard a ruff cut diamond. Hugs Stalky

    Quoting 'rockercouple80' Also, it could be the chat feature (via profile, not the chat rooms) that sends a message if you dont respond to the chat... HMMMM i didn't think of that one (actually didn't realize it did it lol) a lot of them though have not sent a chat request through so i don't think it is that, i always respond to the chat requests even if it is to say i don't want to chat (again guess i like to be polite)

Hugs Stalky I hear what you are saying Stalky and i get that not everyone is the chatterbox/social butterfly that I am but really? the best they can do is 'Hey how are you today?'I have tried in the past to strike a conversation, ask some open ended questions, make reference to something in their profile, anything to get the ball rolling and i still get one line replies back not even answering my questions so i kind of figure why bother??Have you ever had any luck with these ruff cut diamonds stalky?? please share the joy

    I have never gone so far as to meet one of these one line wonders but i do have the feeling that the effort in the bedroom reflects the effort in the message, I could be wrong of course which is why i posed the question if anyone has met someone after a one liner and had a good experience?

    That's a great sentiment Stalky, but sometimes one liners like "I want to suck your Big Titties :)" by someone that refers to himself as sexykoala just ain't going to cut it. You know?

    Much prefer one-liners to lenghty first message detailing exactly what the guy wants to do to me including trying to break my pelvis by screwing me so hard. Funny how the offer to try and break my bones is not a turn on...   Either way something to be said for subtely and politness me thinks

    Am pretty sure a dropped a comment on another site on the one liner message.As a guy who has dropped a whole lot of one liners it got me no where but it did not hurt to give it a go.The major reasons one liners are sent as messages is in my opinion that ladies expect a long well formatted message which get hard for a guy like me after send 5 messages to different ladies.I then turn to doing the copy and paste which i have sent to two ladies whom seem to be one person or friends.It would be nice to cut a guy some slack for trying even if its a one liner

    the seven word, one line message is an insight into the kind of love making to expect.....short...... spend as much time as the messenger does, and move your cursor up to the 'delete' button....and click....ah there, that was easy....

    It comes down to effort.. A yes / no answer would apply to a relevant question, a one line message it's just that, lack of effort and imagination.. It's not difficult to turn up the level, make the effort, work for it, the rewards are worth it *grin* And more importantly gives the person you will potentially meet an insight of your personality, regardless of whether or not it's just for quick f*ck or a future "friends with benefits" situation, we all do appreciate a good "personality" attached to the cock or pussy ;)

    ...it just usually takes me three or four paragraphs to get to the point! | Quoting 'Meeka100'...one liners like "I want to suck your Big Titties :)" by someone that refers to himself as sexykoala just ain't going to cut it. You know? So, do u wanna? That wasn't me...I always sign off with either CM or my real name. | You do believe I am really George Clooney, right?

    shit me to tears! I got 2 in a row from someone, who then sent another one saying "So where do we go from here", then another one with his mobile, then another asking why I hadn't responded! My reply to the fourth one was very to the point - when you show some interest in ME, and show me you've read my profile, and learn how to send a decent message, then I'll respond... until then, seeya!

    I wonder how many women respond.for.the first time use one liners? I realise that there is an oversupply of men here, but in my experience.almost all females respond with a one liner .... usually a standard reply, so absolutely no thought or creativity put ino the reply. a big part of.the time, its not even responded to even if his response doesnt vary even if you have.put effort in ... so i think its a normal mans response to most girls ignoring messages. If it keeps happening ... you adapt. The girls want the effort by the guys, they eldom do the same back or even encourage a.dialogue. Maybe.you look at the pics only and hit the your profile doesnt inspire me .... followed by delete. I think its happening on both sides ....and not one sided response.

    I think I would rather get a one liner asking how I am rather than a giant copy and paste template message. I do object to one word messages like the one I got today just saying "now?". No face pic, boring profile, but just expected me to drop everything and go fuck him!

    Handmaiden- thank you you have given me hope that even those who don't write great messages (or even interesting profiles) can still turn out to be worth your timeMikeandshel- lol love it hdsmlatino curiousguy69 - i suppose i can see your point however as the lovely funloving said you have to treat each person as an individual and not put us all in the one basket based on how others have treated you. I still reply to all my messages I just don't put any effort into the one liners (they get a one liner in return) i do however put a lot of effort into my replies regardless of if it is a 'no thank you' kind of reply or a 'I'd like to know more' kind of reply the truth is I enjoy the interaction regardless of where it leads, it is all part of the fun of meeting new and interesting people.

    Ladies look for something in a man that they are attached to. Just as guys. But a guy can write a thesis on how great you look, but if your fugly (sorry, not their type) you won't be attracted no matter how much or little you put down. The trick is to see if they reply at all. I won't waste time anymore on long drawn out initial messages because most ladies crave only the attention and nothing else. And really, what can anyone who doesn't know this person really say.? My ex girl friend is on this same site and says she gets 145 messages a day. And even more flirts. When she first got intouch with me she set up a search for blk guys with more than 9 inches. We were together for 6years. It is not what you say, it's what they are attracted to. Thanks for reading. :)
