They say you only have one chance to make a first impression. Never is it more true than in a world where words and photos are the first thing a potential datee sees. Your manly smell, flirtatious gestures, and great personality don't get a chance to shine in an email, Kimosabe. So you might as well use that spell checker, type a full sentence and drop all the charm on the ladies. Don't hold back, really.
My list of top things men do wrong in first emails:
1) Say nothing but "hi" - Come on guys. Really? Hi? Wow, you know, that kind of email just makes me want to respond begging for a date. Especially when my profile says that I don't date boring men. So yeah, step right up Mr. Hi-How-Are-You-I've-Got-Nothing-Else-To-Say! I'll take two, please.
2) Talk about your penis - This one speaks for itself. Your penis, however, does not (and should not).
3) Talk about your sexual prowess - Again. Why? This is not adult friend finder.
4) Spell something wrong, several times - nothing more appealing than a guy that can't spell while telling you he's intelligant and edumacated. Bad grammar follows in this same vane/vein/penis.
5) Tell me 'u r hot' - I am. I know this. You're redundant!
6) Use "lol" - There is a reason I don't use IM in the dating world.
7) Tell me how you make a lot of money - Great, now offer to be my sugar daddy. We'll get along just fine...blech.
8) Send me your life story - because inquiring minds want to know.
9) Send me your phone number - because when you look like the last time you washed your hair was circa 1996 with a bottle of TRESsemme shampoo...I promise I'll be calling you asap.
10) Ask me what kind of luck I've had on the dating site. You are stupid. Obviously my luck hasn't been great, or I wouldn't be on here. -500 points for blinding stupidity.
