Hi, dear Yarmi!
I am a very sensitive person, and I hope that your intention is not to play games with me! I am a very romantic person! I like to walk in the moonlight, and dream of happiness! Morning walk on the beach of the river, when the silence … people can hear the cry of seagulls in the distance and a beautiful melody of waves … Waves so attracted to her, looking at them, you will forget about all your worries … When you breathe in the air of purity and innocence …. I am looking for my life partner with whom I will live in happiness, love, understanding, respect … Going through life hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder! In joy and in sorrow! because, as Stendhal said: “Love – a delightful flower, but it takes courage to step up to the edge of the precipice and rip it.”
I would really like to know more about you! And I hope that you will want to get to know me . If so, then I’ll look forward to your letter.
Hello dear Yarmi!
I beg you read this letter attentively as I have put my soul and my heart in it. I decided to write it to you as I hope there is something invisible yet between us but it may appear as a strong attraction and anxious feelings in the future. I’m always brave enough to do a first step as it can possibly change life of two people who search for something special and important in life.
I’m young, energetic, elegant and tactful … Someone may say I’m perfect while looking at me or my pictures. But it’s more important for me to know that a person say more about my inner being, about my soul, individual characteristics. I need to feel someone shares with me and don’t throw words into the air.
Life is so beautiful … but also it’s not eternal. As every lady I dream to find my true love. How it would be great to bestow a smile to my beloved one in the morning and make him feel cheerful and energetic to the end of day … How it would be great to feel his strong body caring me upstairs to our little cute bedroom. .. And how it would be nice to hear sweet “I love you honey” before we fall asleep … I would like to know if you would like to have those moments in your life?
I tend to self-improvement and spiritual growth. I’m fond of dances and sport. An active move is what makes my body stronger and my mood inspired! I’m curious, smart, witty and tender. Would you accept those things? I’m fond of dancing and it has become a part of my life! Would you dance with me?
I really want to know your attitudes to foreign ladies and your thoughts about possible relationship.
Have a pleasant day and catch a smile from a nice lady Tatiana!
Sincerely,
Tatiana
Consider that women will receive somewhere between ten to a hundred times more messages on dating sites for every one message that a man gets as a conversation start. There's an incredible amount of noise in the typical female inbox, and scores of messages from absolute idiots who spam the same thing out to hundreds of girls in one sitting.
Dear Yarmi .
Yes, do that! Join me and lets discover if we are mates? If we are looking for same things on this site? Speaking of me, I’m looking for someone to share life with; lazy days, laughs, deep discussions, dreams, adventures, embraces, hand holding, heartfelt connection and more. Looking for an easygoing gent with a passion for life. If you are that guy?
To tell the true I like to get new knowledge’s and new information, so I want to start exploring and discovering on you! Also I’m a person who is tender, considerate, kind and clever. I love life and enjoy the happiness it gives to me and my friends said that I am a girl who is sensible to live but rational to act. When I am in the lowest point of my life, my friends helped me a lot. So I realized that life only has one chance and we should cherish our lives. I hope one day I can repay them. I hope my matrimony will be simple and happy and we will have the same life goal, and we are loyalty to each other. I enjoy the feeling of staying with my family.
I understand that I told many pleasant and positive things in my address, so you might wonder why such a lady on this web site? Is she really ready what she says? Is she really looking for a husband? I could answer you – Yes. I am ready to have all this and think age it is not important in relations. The most important is Love.
I am looking for my soul mate to share my life with him. I am romantic and considerate. I will devote myself to our love. I am sincerely willing to find my true love.
I hope to get letter from you.
Send you sweet kisses, Marina

Dear Yarmi!
I love life. I am very optimistic and friendly girl and maybe that is why life for me is colored. I like to enjoy every day of the week, that makes my life interesting. I have a lot of passion in my soul and a lot of romance in my heart. I am a real woman who loves intrigue, but doesn’t play games. Love to travel, my dream is going to travel around the world, I dream to see the world, get to know the culture of other countries. I have many friends, I love to chat.
I think that if the relationship is really happy, strong, and it is based on true love, partners want to start a family then. I see no point in spending a lot of years of just having a good time together and being afraid of responsibility.
I want to have a family and in that case I’ll be sure that everything is going in the right direction.
That’s why I’m here! I am looking for someone who is serious about starting a family and a life filled with love, happiness and pleasure …
Sincerely, Irina.
Hello dear Yarmi!
How are you? I am nice and interesting woman. I have always wanted to create a happy family with my loving man. I want to find him, maybe this is you. I want to find the man who will become very special to me and who will want to share every moment with me. Tell me about you. I feel that you and I can be great together.
I am waiting for your answer.
Kisses Olga.
I'm attempting to meet somebody on a few dating websites. The sites that I'm using all rely on internal messaging systems and user-created profiles to stimulate conversation, so the only thing I know about other people is their pre-written descriptions. Favorite books, movies, basic physical attributes, and freeformed About Me sections. As a man seeking a woman, statistically I'm the one that has to make the first move and introduce myself.
Problem is, I have no idea what a good introduction is. I've tried some variants of 'Oh, cool, you're a fan of X? So am I! What's your favorite episode of X?' with common hobbies and I've asked for details on hobbies or jobs, but so far these messages have been opened but have not received replies. According to all of the internal algorithms I'm contacting people that should be good matches, so I don't think it's a lack of commonality. I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm just bad at striking up a conversation.
What is a good way to start a conversation on a dating website?
Catija♦I'm Catija. I'm female and I met my (male) spouse on one of these dating sites. We met about 11 years ago and this is what made me respond to his message... and what made me not respond to others.
First off, when I joined said dating site, it was because I wanted to take the quizzes. Yeah, I know that everyone claims that, but it's actually true. My profile is pretty brutal. The 'you should message me if' part of my profile reads:
You enjoy failure... You did read the bit at the beginning about not talking to strangers, right?
I also wrote all sorts of off-putting rules:
Yet, through all that, my dearest Andy still decided to message me. And I'm glad of it.
As a female who has used a dating site successfully, this really is what you have to put up with so, thank you, thank you, thank you for asking this question. I really hope that you can get some great recommendations from the users here.
Show some respect I'm sorry, but I'm going to get this out of the way first because it's gross (to me) and I really think that some guys out there don't get it but... Don't proposition someone with sex... of any kind unless they somehow make it obvious that they're interested in that sort of thing. If they have the 'hookup' or 'one night stand' or other setting turned on or they mention it in their profile.
Focus on their personality. Realize that not every woman wants to be greeted with 'hello sexy' or 'hello pretty' (yes, I've gotten both and more) or even have anyone mention their looks at all. I personally find it creepy. Do you want someone telling you that you're a big hunk of handsome as the only greeting you get? There's a difference between saying (as part of a longer message) something like 'I see we're a really strong match and I also find you very attractive.' Is more welcome than 'Hey, hottie, wanna get together?'
Show them that you're really interested in them. You're trying to find someone to date, to get to know better... Put some time into your communication with them. Find someone who's a good match for you and really read their profile. They wrote it for a reason... they want you to read it. Show them that you did by writing a nice 2-3 paragraph introduction that tells them about you (so they don't have to look at your profile) why you're contacting them (shows them that you've read theirs) and asks questions that draw them in (people like answering questions).
I wish I still had the message Andy sent me. While I have some of the later ones, the original one somehow got deleted. It did all of the things I list here. He introduced himself generally and told me things about himself that matched up with things I mentioned on my profile, he explained why he was contacting me despite my many warnings not to do so, and he asked me questions I wanted to answer... and I did.
Let's do a little case study:
As you say in your question, women get lots of messages. I haven't been active on the site until today because I'm happily married but even now I have messages waiting for me, all from May... for some reason... let's talk about them.
A message from someone with a username implying that they're in Austin but their location is in India asking for a one-night make-out session, possibly in public. I'm not going to post this one because... Ewww. It's not actually as graphic as some of the ones I've gotten but the location isn't uncommon... lots of people from India contacting me in America.
A message from someone in Hutto, TX (near Austin) that just says 'Hello'.
A message from a guy named John in Austin who only talks about himself - probably a form message he sends to everyone he reaches out to.
Hi there! My name is John, pleased to e-meet ya! I have to be honest, I never really know how to fill up these types of first-contact messages. I'm not one to send a msg and be all forward and say 'i wanna do this or that to your buttcheeks,' etc. Plus, it's not exactly the definition of polite. So there ya go.
So a little about me, I suppose? I'm 39, pansexual and have a good sense of humor. I play music. I play a bit of bass guitar, standard guitar, and I am also a drummer. I'm no professional, but I can keep a beat.
Um, I'm not sure of what else you'd like to know, but I'm sort of an open book, so feel free to ask!
Hope to hear back.
John
This doesn't show that he read my profile but it's funny, open, long but not too long. I like that he makes fun of the people I talk about in the first point without being overly graphic because it shows that he understands what a lot of ladies go through. This has a better chance of getting a response (from me) than most other messages.
- Someone who no longer has an account making negative commentary about my profile
You don't talk to strangers? How do you expect to make any new friends with that attitude? It's, like, everyone's a stranger until you give them a chance. Hope you know where that came from and are having a good night.
Not much to respond to here... not sure why they even messaged me. I do get a lot of these, though... people arguing with my profile, as if I'm required to want their attention. Oh well... moving on.
- Another person who closed their account but felt like telling me how much they like Cowboy Bebop.
cowboy bebop kicks ass, the non dubbed version
This refers to something I mention on my profile, so at least he read it. Still wouldn't get a response from me.
So, in the end, endeavor to be like John but add a bit more that's referential to the woman you're contacting. I don't know how many women you're planning to write to but take your time. Those usernames are actually people (probably)... treat them like it. Think about what you talk about when you meet someone at a party. Go from there.
An entire book could be written on this subject, so I don't know how on target it is for his site (possibly 'too broad') and there are thousands of variables/no 'one size fits all' approach but:
Consider that women will receive somewhere between ten to a hundred times more messages on dating sites for every one message that a man gets as a conversation start. There's an incredible amount of noise in the typical female inbox, and scores of messages from absolute idiots who spam the same thing out to hundreds of girls in one sitting. It is incredibly tedious for most girls just going through their inboxes and deleting all the chaff.. Any message you write will have to stand out from the others and give the recipient an indication that you're going to be fun to converse with.
Reading their profile is good, establishing some common interest is useful also, but maybe don't immediately jump to asking a question because it's hard to ask a good open question worthy of a debate grade answer that is worded in a way that paints a picture of you as being worthy of receiving that answer. Confused? I'll try and simplify it.. A good question needs to generate an answer longer than the question, that introduces new info that can branch a conversation out. The question also has to be worded in such a way that it's different, and hence indicates you're different, or the way you think is different, and piques their interest. This is really hard to do with the small number of words your question needs to be in order to get to the point. 'I see you like green day too. What's your favourite song of theirs?' - meh, it's too closed, too easy to answer, too limited in its scope for introducing new info, too likely to generate disagreement with the answer and a little too predictable - might even get asked 10, 20 times a day if green day is about the only well known or stand out thing about her profile..
I always found better responses if I could put together a short message that told a bit of a funny story, or jokingly started some point of debate, 5 to 8 lines, maybe a question at the end (but if the message was contentious enough that she felt she had to respond to put me right, or sound off in agreement it doesn't always need a question). Something that is indicative of your sense of humour is vital. Getting the length right is important. Too short or scant on personally relatable information, and you're in the bin as a copy paste chancer. Too long and you're in the bin as a too intense psycho who's picked the names of your+her unborn children already. Pick on a subject that few people will have asked about or noticed, something between the lines in the profile or in the background of a posted photo. If there isn't anything, and her profile is dull as dishwater or worse 'I can't be bothered to write a profile, any questions just ask me' - don't bother; this girl is not putting the effort in regardless of how pretty her cover pic is. When writing messages, if you're not in a good, happy, confident, 'a girlfriend is the last thing I need' mood, consider doing something else instead.. like going for a run. It's so easy for your mood to enter these 'short but sufficiently revealing' mails, and if you're desperate and lonely it will be incredibly hard to hide it and it's a massive turn off. Finally, never, ever copy a message to a previous girl and paste it back in with a couple of words changed to 'personalise' it for 'another her'
Put a reasonable amount of detail in your own profile; it's highly likely she will read it before deciding to respond. Put YOU in your profile. Write how you speak; several people over the time read my profiles and were pleasantly surprised at the way it was writtten and how it turned out to be a reflection of the way I thought and spoke in terms of style, word choice and tone. Some of my profiles were written as if it was a conversation I was having with the dating site, or the girl reading the profile. None of it was 'oh. Umm. I have no idea what to put here. Just hit me up if you have any questions' - if I didn't like the question the site asked, I found an excuse to change it to one I wanted to answer
At the end of a session, look to have sent about ten mails to new people and then forget you ever messaged any of them (well, apart from maintaining enough of a memory that you don't message them again). Forget how much more perfect than all the others she was, forget the vows you'd write for her.. Until a mail from her lands in your inbox, she's not on the radar. This will help prevent you getting into a warped sense of perspective about this person whom you actually know very little about. If the response doesn't land, then take some comfort in the fact that women are much much better at assessing compatibility than men.. if you're not getting a response, your approach is causing her to filter you out. If your approach is absolutely and naturally a great representation of the person you are, she's filtering you as no-match. If this keeps happening, you may be selecting the wrong candidates to assess you. You can tweak your approach a little, but keep it true to you to avoid problems later on. Some of the sites popular these days have their own forums and you can ask for profile reviews. It my also help to engage a friend who knows you well, to see if their perspective on your profile and the sorts of messages you're sending is an accurate depiction of you
Final tidbit, if you persevere and enjoy only limited success, do a bit more research; create a female profile, using some photos of a friend (with their permission, of course) who is of similar physical appearance to the sorts of girls you're approaching, write a generic profile for the details (it doesn't matter, men don't read much) that is a similar kind of girl as what you seek and then just wait and see that absolute torrent of shite that lands in her inbox. This is what you have to beat in order to stand out. It will probably surprise you just how much crap the poor girls out there have to wade brought and probably explain why most of them get tired of it pretty quickly and log off forever, or become incredibly discerning (and by that I mean, she takes a week long holiday to Spain, comes back to 500 'hey u hot' messages, with your diamond effort in the middle, and just hits Ctrl-A followed by Del.. luck of the draw, and a reason why I said to put no one on the radar/'favourite profiles to stalk list', until they write back..
How To Introduce Yourself To A Woman On A Dating Site
Remember that 'how to start a conversation' is not always about the message you'll sent her.
If a stranger send me an introduction and wish to know about me more, this is what I will do, in order:
How To Introduce Yourself In Dating Site
- Glance on the message.
First of all, be polite. Joke is great, as long as it is funny. I will not cover much about the message because other answers usually will address this. - Check profile picture.Anything other than their picture (or animal) will surely get my attention. On ignore button.
- Check their About Me section.
Everyone will sell their attractiveness. I'll make sure this one does not oversell themselves. Of course, empty or uninteresting section will also get a big NO.
Some people like long, descriptive About Me. People like me prefer shorter advertising. It's up to you, but try to limit a paragraph to 3-8 lines max. - Optionally, when 1-3 pass and when I feel like it, I will check their other social media, if I can find it.
If you can confirm it's the same person, conflicting description is a huge red flag.
Of course, everything is up to what your goal on joining the dating site.
Dating partner? Girlfriend? Marriage?
More casual profile pic and description will attract the earlier, while someone looking for serious relationship will check for signs of maturity. It's your call.
VylixVylixYou need to 'declare yourself' at the beginning. Give the essence of who you are in one or two short sentences, to encourage the few that you want, and discourage others. My own approach to date selection might have been summed up by 'the few, the proud, the Marines.' OK, maybe not 'military' women, but rather 'special forces.'
One example of such a declaration (not even in a dating context) is, 'We respect a laser-like focus on one topic.' That describes a no-nonsense individual, who will discourage 'scattered' women. If that's you, you will attract dates who will get right to the point.
A declaration that's similar in quality, if different in content, is 'I love children and small, cuddly animals.' That will attract a different sort of date, one that's compatible with that type of individual.
