Re: Contacting Men on Dating Sites

It works if one knows how to write.

I wrote quite a few men and had about 50% response rate.  Technically I just sent them an icebreaker (a short predefined phrase offered by the website, sent by a click of a mouse), which led them to my profile.  But my profile was written in a non-traditional style, kind of playful and indirect, which left them wondering what exactly I was after.  The pictures also reflected the image I wanted to project - a little mystery, a little playfulness (all that with my IQ and education level displayed right there).  As a result, in response to my icebreaker, men sent me letters full of questions which provided excellent food for further writing.  Out of this, I got a few very decent penpals, one of which I later married.
