You’re not wrong, in the early days it can feel much like being a kiddy in a toy shop! Then you find that most of what’s on offer is in the sale for a good reason! I prefer to have a proper mooch to find that elusive good quality toy that lasts the distance. Beware of the glossy packaging though, some are counterfeit!

I prefer to sit and wait to be approached. This is for the simple reason that women seem to get overwhelmed with messages when they first join, so yours has very little chance of being seen or replied to, however punchy, interesting, witty or well versed. After a while they've been bombarded enough, and if they still haven't found what they are looking for amongst all the dick pics (odd that), then in my experience (based on the couple of times I have been here before), they decide to take control and approach those profiles that appeal to them... If I like their profile too, then we chat and see where it goes...

Be yourself with some added sense and couth..
There are some meaningless ice breakers that doesn’t even cut it!
To all the guys that send the “What brings you to IE” message, I hope you know this is not LinkedIn !

I think if someone messages you and is the complete opposite of what's in your profile, why reply.
If you're in London and want to meet someone local, why reply to someone from Scotland who clearly hasn't bothered reading your profile

Who knows
Witty
Brief
Detailed
Acknowledging profile content (actually reading)
Non of these appear to matter.
You are lucky to get an acknowledgement.

To all the ladies who deem is appropriate to ignore introduction messages I consider myself lucky to have dodged applied ignorance

A polite response should not be too much trouble.
And If the person becomes a pest there is a block button

It’s difficult to chose something from their profile when so many use the same IE Profile builder. Then expect Jack Whitehall rapier like wit, in the first message. 😄

Something that shows that you’ve read their profile and that you have common interests or wishes is a good place to start. Rushing to the photo won’t work and nor will rushing to want you’d like to lick off their naked body. If you can’t laugh together you won’t misbehave together.

Ask them if they’ve got descent teeth, the one tooth wonders will avoid you like the plague...
