When a guy contacts me and asks me to tell him more about myself because he wants to 'get to know me', it makes me groan. My journal is jam packed with stuff about me and I really dont feel like repeating myself for some lone random stranger. He can join in with the other random strangers and read it in my journal if he wants to.
Well... this is a different twist. If you get disgusted with a man for asking you to tell him more about you because he would like to get to know you, then what is it he could say that you would respond to?
Most I see on here are looking for exactly what seems to annoy you. Someone who expresses an interest up front about getting to know them better instead of just demanding "submission".
So please tell me.... what would an initial email to you have to consist of to be considered polite and worth responding to?
I understand what you are saying, MD, but it sounds like you are missing the essence of heartcream's comment.
When I was available, those oft received emails that said simply, "tell me more about yourself" were indeed unwelcome. They appeared to me that the writer couldn't take the time to read the information I had already supplied or, at the least, they couldn't make the effort to engage in a mutual conversation. They seemed to be "give me" emails... demands to entertain them.
Imagine those frustrating talks with someone where you were making a sincere effort to describe something important to you. After an involved and detailed description that you finally feel conveys exactly what you want, your conversation companion simply looks at you and says, "what else?"
What would be worth responding to is an email that reciprocates the information you have already made the effort to supply, comments on that information, expresses similar opinions and ideas, asks for further clarification to specific concepts, and generally offers some idea as to why the writer has found your profile to be of interest.
Edited because there's no such word as "frustrustrating". [;)]
