No idea. Go to my profile and tell me what the reply thing says /shrug :p
On a NZ dating site my reply ratio is 9%.
But you have to realise most of the people on there can't even string a sentence together.
but i good rite very! u want f*k 2nite? (I hear you... for those of use who appreciate what we learned in GRADE SCHOOL, seeing a decently-written message is rare!)
Here's an example of what I've been messaged recently. I'll grab 5 random messages.
"hello"
"Love to get into your pants lol mmmm!" - (From a 56 year old... yuck!)
"Hi"
"Want to sit on me and ride me as long as you want?" (pass)
"hi miss i think tooooo much sometimes it gives me a headache.lol"
And people wonder why they don't get replied to.
i would reply to each and every one of those, with a critique. something like:
Quote:
it seems that you are attempting to start a conversation. thanks for your interest! however, i don't generally ride anyone who has evidently not bothered to read my profile. it's offputting to be hit on by someone who hasn't even personalised their cut-and-paste message. i am not averse to hooking up, but i prefer to hook up with men who have put more substance into their messages.
....and then i blocked them before they could reply.
i was not interested in whatever they had to say, i just hoped they'd take my advice for the next woman they contacted. they probably wouldn't, but the only other option was to ignore them, and then they wouldn't know what they did wrong.
