This thread was supposed to help Women know how to approach Men through a little more illuminating PM.


Cliff Notes: Men and women are different, and women sending men short and coy in a pm will get a response but not necessarily what you are looking for.

Guys are used to the basic etiquette of what to do when sending a woman a PM. (Well except for the clueless ones they are the ones that complain that nobody ever answers p.m.'s)

Girls On the other hand are well aware that their communications are at a bit of a premium so they tend to get minimalist....they seem to think coy is flirty...it isn't.

The little one or two word openings that you might use in a bar are acompanied by all kinds of body language and eye contact.

Although I'd generally appreciate an unsolicited p.m., and the challenge that creates to do a little cyberstalking and try to figure out how to get up to speed with where you already are in your mind with me.....

....more often than not I'm not going to follow the script in your head if all you send me is..."you intrigue me."

I tend to feed off of other people and I personally am all over the map sexually.

if I have no idea what it is that you were reading that intrigued, I could go off in a completely unsatisfactorily direction for you... so if you give me little to nothing to go on I'm going to escalate hard. Not just to be a jerk about it but I figure nothing ventured nothing gained if I have no idea where you're coming from.


So if you're thinking of sending one a quick reference to something you read of mine helps a lot. Its okay to give a little thumb-nail sketch of yourself as well as far as what facet of all of your varied interest did you think might well be compatible with one of mine?

As a guy no way in hell would I expect to get a response at all from sending a woman, " you intrigue me."

As a woman I think you could simply send a"?" Or maybe even a"."And most guys will answer you back just maybe not in the way that you want.

I had recently (ok actually for quite some time now) been in a bit of a snarky mood.... some of my rants have been tinged with a bit of misogyny. I've been a bit earped with women on and offline as of late. Nevertheless it seems lately after one of those tirades that I get a woman or two showing a little interest. The last one that sent me a note I, with a degree of forthrightness, sent basically this paragraph to her.

She sniffs back something about oh well with that response I guess maybe it was a mistake to p.m. you.

Yes dear, yes it was.

Kind of hard to follow the script that gives you the tingles you so desire when you don't send the script over for my perusal.

I'm wondering if you wanted feedback to this or are you just declaring something that you're tired of the brevity in women's responses? That they think somehow short and sassy can successfully come off well. I suppose it could if one knows each other really well, but otherwise women may think they have the upper hand by getting a man to chase. Playing head games like that are boring. If there is interest, show interest...reveal, without needing to be prodded. There is a way to do that without appearing needy, or clingy. This is spot on why an exchange should be a give and take.
 
The purpose of communication is communication; anything less is a waste of time.
 
Exactly...

I know sometimes I have been guilty of the opposite problem, too much too soon:

Something on a thread or a profile will spark my muse and with no previous connection made I 'll launch into an unsolicited tale, or reveal TMI that might not be what the recipient was looking for.


I keep expecting one of my missives to make it to one of the asshat threads.

On the other hand sometimes they have (for example in the personals section) requested pm's and outlined what they are looking for...I'll aim, apparently be on point but give it up when all I get back is "more!" or "keep writing..." or some similar sparse encouragement.
 
I agree.

I'm impatient with LIT gals who shake my tree with the short & sweet quips. What annoys the crap outta me are the women who hide behind their shield too long. Like, you swap 100 PMs and still have no idea who they are. Make up a fucking name for chrissake! I start getting the idea theyre day treatment patients.

Many years of intercourse with women taught me that if they want you they'll come after you. They aren't shy. And if theyre coy theyre fucking with you.

There's something to that...

I was trying for years to be happily married....i avoided even hardcore flirting because to be honest, I wasn't at all sure what I'd do about it if one of 'em said OK!

So I likely developed some bad habits if feedin the squirels as it were....I never particularly minded feeding a malnourished ego, especially if she seemed unjustly neglected...(I suffer mightily from that white knight malady so many betas are afflicted with.) As I think back though for the most part the more I feed the less they are likely to graze on me

Which is kind of a shame because naturally yhey'd be a lot happier with a piece of me than just simply a few morsels of compliments.

You know what's funny I thought this thread would completely dry up the offerings.

I just got one from someone who I have noticed here in there who frankly scares me just a little bit but I'm kind of a good way. I almost sent her back at three word answer: " you scare me."

But after this thread I guess I'm going to have to be a little bit more illuminating in my response... 1 girl in particular sent me pretty much that something to the effect of that I frighten her... i dunno maybe sometimes just a word or two is appropriate.
 
It's always nice to get a PM from someone from out of the blue. It's a little gift, maybe an introduction to someone or something new.

Y'know...unless she's PMing me to tell me I'm a douche. :cool:


But if she sends me a PM to say "you intrigue me" or "you have a nice this or that" I think it's neat. :) They've made me feel good and it's nice. I thank them and I leave it at that. If they want to pursue more communication I figure the ball is in their court. After all, just because I woman sends me a PM telling me that I have nice eyes doesn't mean she wants me to run after her like a rabid dog.

Maybe I attract bold, assertive females but they are the ones I get, and they aren't bashful at all about coming after me.

To my way of thinking LIT ranks right up there with bars, church, and prisons for the quality of its female fare. I don't look for love here cuz its all damaged goods. Many women here are smart and lovely and talented...and crazy as shithouse rats.

Youre a naïf. She wants a new fool to play with.

No dear, we are not crazy or damaged, we are simply responding in a snarky manner to those who choose to label and pigeon hole us by making ridiculous statements such as this one.

No. I thought about it, prayed on it, and wrote letters to THE VIEW. I'm certain I'm right on this. You women are mad as hatters.

The statement that I placed in bold intrigued me.. It reminded me of something my mother told me "K, you are never going to meet anyone in a bar worth keeping, They are all crazy and drunk and are not looking for forever, You need to go to church"

Ok. so with the same reasoning that you just stated... I can assume any man that is here... is also brilliant, handsome and skilled .... and crazy as a T-Rex trying to masturbate. I can also almost exclude anyone you meet on the internet too. They beauty of the internet is you can almost hide anything about yourself and at the end of the day, you don't really know them as well as you like.. I have met three or more people that I initially met on the internet. One was a freak, one was a geek and then one was so painfully shy that it was almost hard for him to talk to me in person. The internet is like a box of chocolates.. You never know what you are going to get. Don't go out with anyone your parents recommend either.. That was the longest, most painful chapters in my life, what a twisted, demented fuck he was.

Everyone is flawed, even if they don't want to admit it, and the point of this fabulous life is find someones flaws that you can live with and are compatible with yours and make a go with it..

I do have to say.. I have friends jumping down my throat to go to church and It amuses me what you stated about people at church being damaged goods.. Hmmmm. I know I am broken, but I also know going to church will not help me either.. You might meet me walking down the street tomorrow.. I promise you, you would never know I am broke. :)

So if we can exclude church, bars, internet, prison, walking down the street, and nobody your parents set you up with.. What do we have left?:rose:

Strange, it seens only extremists and mysoginists seem to feel this way (hey look, now its my turn to throw labels around randomly) the majority of blokes are rationable, reasonable and don't appear to hold the same viewpoint.
I will throw this out there for you to chew on, maybe it is your negativity towards women that triggers in us an equally negative reaction towards you.

But, dude, play is all I'm after

Hell?

Church is an awful place to meet decent women. I recommend laundromats.

I'm here to collect material for my stories; you never know when one of the girls will erupt with, I'M HAVING ELVIS' BABY! And more than one man here will be envious of her.

Hell called yesterday and said they wanted their mascot back, but the devil was afraid of me so they were going to have to find someone else..


:devil:

Laundromats are good too.. Gotta watch for those panty thieves though!

Carnies wear pantyhose; I suppose it keeps them warm outdoors.
 
I can't be bothered with the games nowadays, to be honest. I tend to pursue a policy that if a woman doesn't actually give me something to riff on in a PM (a question, something interesting that makes me want to know more, some modicum of interest in something that isn't herself) I quickly stop replying. It's amazing how few people actually seem to understand that conversation is a two way street.
