ORIGINAL: AlexC4U2003 I personally take offense to this sites automatic spam if u send the same message to a bunch of profiles. most people u contact on here have not been on in months or years so most will not respond for whatever reason. Plus, Why should I compose a completely new message for every profile when some of them don't even bother to write anything in their profiles and when it may not even get read in the first place? I will send a short simple message on first contact, and if the person replies, then I will go into more detail and more specifics. Does anyone else feel this way or am I alone on my own island on this one? Why on Earth are you messaging people who haven't been on here in months or years? The site shows when someone last logged in, so I only look at accounts that have logged in within the last few days. Those are the ones who are likely to be currently searching. And if they don't say anything in their profile, they probably aren't interested in being contacted. If you limit yourself to people who actually look like they want to be contacted currently, and are a possible match for you, that's usually a much shorter list and worth the time to write a personal message to. I get around a 50-60% reply rate to my messages, but I don't send many messages.
