I've heard several guys complain "I send lengthy notes to several women and never get responses" and have always wondered what they were sending. Well, today I got my answer!
I have added paragraph formatting to the following message and removed the contact information (c'mon folks. Posting an obviously form email sent to me privately is okay in my book, but on the off chance that he's simply an idiot, I removed his personal info); otherwise it's untouched.
Hi Gorgeous one
How are you doing today? hope you receive this message and it finds you well. My name is jose and I am contacting you from the United Kingdom.
When I saw your profile I decided to respond with the hope of corresponding. I guess the first thing that came into my mind when I saw your photo was `WOW!!!`. You are DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS!!! . It seems you are that rare woman who has just as much (or more) going for herself on the inside as the outside. [Either the standards of appearance have seriously dropped on that side of the pond, or this guy has a weird fetish for facial scars and pimples. I don't have low self-esteem about my face, because it's a real non-issue to me-- I'm vain about my smarts and my abilities and my body instead.]
I would consider it an honor to get to know you. Im EXTREMELY busy so Im not looking to move too fast or for anything serious at this point, but if sparks fly then so be it. [Does anyone have a "romantic cliche" drinking game? Because I think I'd be unable to drive by now. All he's missing is "living life to the fullest"!]
About meI dont have much time for or interest in the `traditional singles scene` so I decided to give this a try. Besides, I have a few friends who have had good experiences. I At the present time am single and completely unattached and No I have nothing to hide [that's why he has no profile] . I stand 6ft and weigh 200 lbs. I am often told that I look very handsome. I don`t think I look like that either.... I receive the most compliments on my eyes (hazel), legs (shapely/muscular) and my thoughtfulness (very). I consider myself very versatile [sorry, sugar, I was looking for a bottom, not versatile!] and I have to be because I have friends and business associates of all races, ages and socio-economic backgrounds. I`m very laid-back and down-to-earth. I`m also very old-fashioned when it comes to my respect and treatment of women [ok, we ALL know
what that means: can't get it up if he's not on top].
Ironically, I find that many women I encounter don`t call lately, my business has kept me from getting out much, but in general I don`t have a problem meeting women. However, meeting the right woman has been somewhat challenging.
I guess I`m seeking the proverbial `entire package`-beauty, brains, pleasant disposition, morals, compassionate heart and ethics. You certainly appear to fit that mold [...along with the other 50 people I sent this to]. Nothing speaks [...sorry bud. I can't get it up for people who can't spell "piques."] my interest more than a woman who has a great deal going for herself, yet carries herself as if she is oblivious to that fact[In other words, they have to be stupid enough not to know they're better than me.]. First and foremost Im looking for a woman with the potential and desire to become my best friend because I believe that is the foundation for a lasting relationship.
Im sorry for the lengthy note, but my hope is to give you an accurate snapshot of who I am, especially since I do not have a profile posted.
I don`t know what else to tell you, but consider this: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing of yourself. To play your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd, is to risk your loses. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing. And people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, buy nothing. You may avoid suffering and sorrow, but you simply cannot learn, feel, cha [and the rest of this message has detonated from the weight of the cliches!]
Till i hear from you Angel,u can call me on my london .. [phone number removed] or chat with me on yahoo messanger my id is [Yahoo id removed] have a nice time.
Be Easy
Jose
So, I was thinking. Obviously since many people don't actually write back, it may be necessary to send out several emails in order to get one in return. Wouldn't it be possible to write a LESS obviously form-email first contact note to people? It makes me want to try this myself.
