Hey guys, just thought I'd post my experience. I've only just signed up to PoF but had quite a good response, about 15 separate emails in 4 days. I haven't made one email outbound, just posted my profile and waited for them to come to me. However, the level of communication is astounding. My profile is quite verbose, as are my responses but all these chicks can manage is "hi hun how r u?", "i like walking and reading books" and "wuu2". These are women in their 20's and 30's who contact me with barely a word to say. After a fruitless conversation, I usually wish them well, hoping they find what they're looking for. My interpretation of their lack of communication is a lack of interest but they then question if they've done something wrong or why I'm not interested.
The profiles I've read so far have unwarranted demands like "must be this and must be that" yet they make no effort themselves. Do women seriously think fit, hot, rich and funny guys are just going to jump out of their screens and whisk them away in the Aston's without at least making an effort?
How does one get the ladies to open up more? I mentioned to one that she didn't seem interested because of her lack of thought into her responses but says she'd like to keep chatting, hopes to meet me and claimed she was shy. Shy? On the internet, locked indoors some 3 miles away? The last thing I want to do is go on a date and monologue. Worse would be if she said she had a great time and wanted to do it again.
Is this common?
