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?

That was the worst idea I've ever heard, you sound like someone who has never met or had an affair on here, I have.
Sometimes things as in all aspects of life just don't work out, feelings change, people have second thoughts.
NO ticks for you.

Just to be clear, apart from maybe stringing someone along to get a free dinner there isn't anything wrong with using IE for different purposes than meeting people. I flagged it up as an explanation rather than an accusation. It's easy to take it personally when you're being ignored, but there are many, many reasons why it might have nothing to do with you as a person.

Now there is an idea.....maybe there should be a serious user badge...
An IE equivalent to the 'twitter' blue tick.

I'm not suggesting an Uber ot Trip advisor star rating system🤣🤣🤣🤣

You'd earn the badge based on opinions of 'partners' or similar.

It could be abused, like any system, but might stop dome if the less 'nice' practices on both sides.

It wouldn't guarantee 'getting laid', but might promote better behaviour?

I can have good ideas sometimes😊

I've always, always said *both* sexes are guilty of bad behaviour!

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of men are here for the right reasons. They're SOL if they want naughty messages or a free lunch 🤣

It's funny how DEFENSIVE some women get when you point out the obvious though.

I'm sure that's true but the OP is a man looking for a woman so reversing the roles would look very strange indeed! 🤔 🤪 😄

How would it read if roles were reversed?

Another thing to bear in mind is that not every man 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 are still hung up on a previous IE and can’t move on.
Some haven’t yet discovered how to be a bigger man. 🤷‍♂️

It is important to be a better person and not become a ‘hater’

Sorry but you have ticked the wrong one …😂😂

If you are messaging and not getting responses, could it be that they are looking at your profile and discounting based on the data there? Age, location and height being the first categories before any text that might put someone off? If you are out of age/location/height/education criteria maybe better off not starting a discussion?

Of course there are members who just want chat for validation, or they dont really know what they are doing, having a mid-life crisis from their sofa, or whatever. But to those of us who are serious about 'this' there's no point starting a chat when someone doesn't meet the basic boundaries of say age and location.
aren't met.
