Hey all - I recently plopped myself back into the world of online dating, I haven't met anyone and am only just starting to correspond to emails and winks. My question is, I don't want to pay for a subscription every month so I thought of sticking my email address (discreetly of course) in my profile so that guys could write if they weren't subscribed, I get winks and then no reply so I think some of it has to do with them not being subscribed. It isn't my main email so I'm not worried about that, just a Yahoo address that also has my username that I created. My question is, I've seen guys do this but do you think it would look sort of semi-desperate on a woman's profile?

I actually met a guy a few months ago because he had his email address on his profile and I was just browsing and not subscribed, it was fun and we still keep in touch as friends.

Take this with a grain of salt, because knowing I am not desperate I don't care if anyone thinks I am.

I have my email in my profile. Might be too cleverly done as no one has figured it out yet (that's my story).

I did it because I got sick and tired of putting money into the match machine.

Oh I see email addresses embedded in profiles or under the pictures on my site all the time both male and female. If you can do it and get away with it why not.
