IE First timer

Hi - this is my first time joining IE and would love to hear any advice on how to start chats?
I think we are agreed as to why most people have joined but do women prefer guys to be direct and to the point and is a polite, considered message the way forward?

Another thing to bear in mind is that not every woman on IE is looking for a romantic meet.
Some are just dipping their toes in the water.
Some already have an IE partner.
Some just like naughty messages.
Some just want a free meal.
Some just buzz on the attention... Paula, is that you over there? 🤣🤣🤣

@Hottie Spicy....agree totally. You should also add about time wasted for no shows🙄.

For the OP, start genuine conversations based upon what you read in and between the profile narrative. Try and establish a rapport, if they're looking for what you're interested in.

Also try to spot obvious red flags....age range 21-99, people under 40 seeking 50-80. In my experience these profiles don't lead anywhere.

My advice for any bloke would be to manage your expectations and be prepared for a LOT of rejection. I'm coming to the end of my subscription period and these are the scores on the doors:
I read around 200 profiles and selected 97 of those to message.
81 of those messages were read but only 15 received any sort of response (there were another 3 unsolicited messages sent from real people and 5 sent from Bots)
4 of those responses were polite "no's", one was a very impolite "no".
Of the 13 online conversations, 11 went nowhere and faded away. Two resulted in dates.

Make of that what you will.

I always find it funny when other on here say be honest be yourself lol your in a cheating website are you honest with your other half… some of you have permissions to play and lots of you are single.

I would say don’t be shy be yourself and have good chat

Unleash your inner Dude

Partnered women are here because they want something different and exciting. They already have a boring man at home and don't need another. If you tell them that you are a simple man with simple tastes and like nothing more than listening to the shipping forecast over a cup of cocoa, then be prepared for zero interactions.

1 in 10..? Luxury!! Wait until they offer to exchange passwords - you'll give them yours and never hear from them again. Apparently, it's "nothing personal". 😄

@elisa boo

I get what your saying about making messages around what the profile has on it. And I widely believe in this. It just gets annoying when you can get no replies. I can easily send out 10 and maybe get 1 reply. the rest ghosted. And I don't overly think my profile is that bad.

Issue I have too, the profile itself. To much, to little. should i be the gentleman or the bad boy approach.

And then sometimes, I just think sod it and bang out 10 generic messages. And still get 1 reply. lol

Yet, I always reply when approached :)
