I don't think those are that bad... at least they actually show that you've read their pages and aren't just messaging everyone with a good picture.

There isn't really a purpose to tweetups other than to be sociable. I think quite a few computer programmers do use them for networking (there are a lot of them on twitter), but a lot of the regulars where I am are just people who moved here and realised that they didn't know anyone.


And when they see I'm from here they'll wonder why I don't have many friends.


But they are bad though?

Hahaha I didn't say that. Tbh I've never received messages on these sites so I don't know what the general standard is. They're definately not as bad as your initial description of them suggested they might be.

I liked the first one (yay geekiness), without context the second was just confusing, the third was very easygoing and friendly, the fourth... well... you used "you're" instead of "your" and that would probably make me twitch all the way to the delete button but most girls don't have my issues... :P

Well ironically enough the Greater Manchester area does have the highest suicide rate of mid 20's males in Europe.

Having an ex from that part of the world. I can see why I never liked hanging around Manchester at all! you seriously might do well to broaden your horizons and embark on some kind of endevour travelling or have a go at moving to another part of the UK?

On the plus side I did like the massive fish market in the Arndale centre. They used to have Sharks on display and i'd go and touch the skin of them. Weird sensation rubbing their scaly skin 8O :oops:

The only thing i can think of is that you're come across as over eager and that could seem desperate to these lasses.

the way you end 2 messages with "let me know!" (this sounds like you desperately want a response and who could blame you? But a lass might see things differently)

and "hope to hear back!". I might be clutching at straws and over analysing it though. :D

Ending the messages is admittedly my worst point. I never know what to put.

It's true, Americans can't resist a British accent.
