dude, im not a maestro (like Zokora haha) neither am I a model. Im 5ft 7 and id say im 6.5/7 out of 10 (im really trying not to sound bigheaded here, but if i said 8 which I actually think I am then id look like a cnut) and I send out loads of messages but id say success rate is say 10%. 10 messages out of 100? Na actually a bit more than, maybe 30. You just have to have good photos of yourself up there, and fudge it if they arent good, make them look good. ONly choose photos you like, not ones which you have to choose becuase you dont have many.
Someone said on here check the profile out and make the message unique to theirs. It will stand out and thats what I do now, I rarely use the same message. Try and find their name, if they say they love horses say you love horses in your opening chat up. 9 times out of 10 women will look at the photo but they definitely read your profile. Try and sound gay in your profile saying you want a relationship etc and not into one night stands blah blah blah. Try and sell yourself and dont sound arrogant as before mine was pretty arrogant (some bird I started chatting up and is now a mate told me this so she gaveme some tips).
let me know how you get on, or PM me for any tips. I do get a lot of messages but only because I start them but equally I do get a lot of ignored messages. I do get some robbie fowlers messaging me but I just ignore them...
