Yes, she just did respond to the one-liner, that shows she is enticing the op to come out with something better...i think indeed as mentioned by RedMagic that the op does not have much of a sense of humor about this...

Yeah, see, if I were in that situation, I would have sent back:

Sorry.  Is this
better?


(Note the two lines!!!!)
Please write me back and let's have a conversation. :-)  How's your weekend going so far?

Status: offline 		Things that bug me with initial emails-- this site seems to have bunches of people who send... "Good afternoon, how are you," kinds of emails. I will answer those all right now, and be done with it-- I am fine, thank you for asking. Other things that bug me are emails that obviously have gone to many other women-- form letter emails, the sister to the dreaded shot-gun email. Sure, sending out lots of emails is a good idea, but when they are as creative as junk mail, well, they will be treated as such. And then, there are those emails and profiles that tell me nothing about the person, but he describes what he think is going through my head. Please, don't tell me what I am thinking.

The two I am emailing? Both of them picked up on hobbies I like and which we have in common. Neither fits the demographic perfectly, but they are interesting to me because they found something we share in common. Neither one insisted on IMing right away (another pet peeve, I don't want to spend hours IMing with people I don't know, or phoning). Neither got all domly on me-- showing that they respect me as a person first.

Mostly, I like people who interact with me from message boards or other, more organic discussions. Searching for profiles to introduce oneself is the online equivalent of door to door sales call, or cold calling. Sure, it can work, but it is the least effective way to obtain your objective.

So have you ever thought about becoming a full time live in kept lady? Also you know you dont look your age. ..... Not sure ware to start here Well here is a pic What kinds of food do you like? Do you smoke? kinds of music you like?

My response:

Sure I have.
Yes I know. But what does 42 look like?
Start with the correct spelling of "where".
You didn't attach a pic.
The kind you eat.
NO. And I stay away from anyone that does.
The kind with a melody.


Then I blocked him.

Wait, that was a one liner too! Damn, forgot to put that part in my reply!

I would like to think I have a bit of a sense of humor I laughed at her reply because not only did she reply to say I dont reply she also linked it to one liners. Mine was THREE lines. LOL albeit short lines! I  used the word "cute "cause it was a cutsy pic showing a bit of imagination  but not one where she was "Hot".
Red magic I thought  offered her three reasons in my responce to reply to me.
Peppermint. Dont worry after being here as long as I have I dont take much personally or seriously!
Windchymes, I thought that! I also thought why waste my time.
This isnt a single big event thats bringing my life to a halt its a somewhat funny thing that I see and find perplexing,

"Having a sense of humor" in the context of dating does not mean the ability to laugh at someone else's acts.  It means that you are able to get a woman to laugh because of something you say or do.

Id call that "being funny" where having a sense of humor would be seeing the  humor in various subjects and situations.

Status: offline 		This isn't a debate.  I am telling women who want to meet me that they will have to wait, because I'm meeting someone else.  You are posting that you're not getting any results, and that you have the manners of a bull in a china shop.  Do you actually want to learn something, or would you prefer to tell me how wrong I am while you continue sleeping alone?

Status: offline 		To the OP:  I know you didn't mean anything by it, but if I had gotten that, and believe me I have, I would think you are just cruising pics and the info you wanted was only kink.

First of all, always greet..."hello" is always nice.  Then tell her a little about you, don't write War and Peace, and it doesn't have to be long at all.  Just write her as much, and along the same lines as you want her response to be.  Then start small, ask her something about her or just ask the general question as you did before, that you read the profile but didn't really learn enough and you want to know more about her.

As far as her profile, maybe she's still thinking about exactly what she wants there, or maybe she's just new and clueless....either way it goes, show her the way, show her how it's done.  That way she gets educated and you get your info and hopefully start a conversation.

If she's still rude, walk away....lots out there that will appreciate you more anyway

good luck!

Heres the problem
You: nice picture
Me: thankyou

End of conversation. granted of course, I am flattered that you liked the picture, but if that is all you want to say, why bother. I agree with what was previously mentioned, is your only intrest in my body and not in me?
If I were you, make sure your profiled is full and complete as possible then after complimenting the picture, tell her about yourself you the person not you the dominant ask her to look it over and if she sees something she likes ask her to email you

We want to feel special..not like someone you'd pick up in a bar.

May I ask why your earlier post did not mention this, and gave only a one liner?

Ok Fantasy69maker...you say you want to learn..so here goes. Many women would not respond to a line such as "cute pic". I know I wouldn't. One reason is if somenone cannot even take the time to spell out the word picture, it makes me wonder how much patience they have. How a man approaches me says a great deal on how I will respond. IF someone writes only a couple lines, I probably woudnt respond. Most women get a great deal of mail here. You have to find something that sets you apart from the rest. I would suggest saying something about a cute picture, and then say a few things about yourself. Introduce yourself. You say you have a sense of humor..then use it in an opening email. Use your imagination. Unless you are a greek god on the looks department, a couple of lines isn't going to get you very far. I recently had someone write to me who clearly had read my profile. Wrote to me and said I know you are not looking but I enjoyed reading your profile. He also made some other comments and told me a bit about himself. I did respond to him and we have exchanged some emails back and forth. A bit of effort on your part would yeild better results.

Just my 2 cents

To a profile with a cute picture and the heading of "..."
I responded Cute PIC! You  look interesting. Would you care to talk about your interests some?
.
.
.There where  no interests listed or anything written about herself.
.

Her Reply;
" I dont respond to oneliners."
.
.
???????????????? ok what should I have said?
I think you should have just forgot it and moved on. Keep in mind it will keep on going on till it stops.  Only you can make it stop.  I challenge the game by keep on e-mailing.  Sure I get hurt via an e-mail not being answered but I keep on doing it.  So Im to blame.  So what you should have said "nothing' move on to the next challenge.

Content wise, your profile could use more streamlining... make it more to the point.

Actually even more than that it was to get you to post some of your  interesting and perplexing  profile encounters................. Maybe I should have been more clear about that in the Op.

perhaps you're over thinking this all and her response was for reasons you've never considered. maybe she didn't like what she read. or didn't find herself attracted to you. or she was just in a shitty mood and didn't feel like writing. it could be a million things and you can spin until you're dizzy but the truth is you can't know.

you'd be better off being yourself. attempting to present yourself differently usually turns into a clusterfuck later on because you can't maintain it long term. i concur with being polite when you greet, but if you're quirky then add that in. it is the element of "you" that most are wanting.

like most i'm unimpressed with profiles that are not completed, but i recognize some elect not to and choose to speak directly or simply are averse to writing as a whole. i don't consider my encounters perplexing. this is the internet, it shouldn't be adding stress to my life. if it is i need to log off.
