"I am a hard working mom with a good career and a bright future. My glass is more than half full. I’m down to earth, sensitive, caring and giving. I am looking for someone who has the same values as me, but not always the same opinions. I am petite, nice and have a friendly smile. People say I am cute but you’ll have to judge that for yourself. In addition to reading and exercising, my favorite activities include cuddling and kissing. It would be nice to find someone I could share my life and my heart with, but I plan on enjoying my life and maybe meeting some good friends along the way regardless of what my future holds."

LOL, sorry Ive lost the whole thread of the discussion.
Yes you are right. I would look at his profile too but his email will get a reply from me even if its just for a one time only reply, barring anything really bad on his profile.
I am loath to pass up a really intellectual encounter thats just me.
dont forget that the email was being judged on its merit since there was no profile anywhere in sight. moreover I was of the impression that you did not like the reply because you felt it sounded a bit contrived or something to that effect and that the fact that he went to research the fossil fuel thing just for you was a bit too much.
whilst the way I saw it was that he was knowledgeable about fossil fuel and when he came accross a person who had just finished a book on it he was enthusiastic about discussing it. with that person.
I was being honest how I felt about the email, that is just the way it struck me.

Don't delete a word! I agreed with everything you said! :)
I initially posted to tell Hal that IMHO many women would appreciate the trouble he went to in his email. Of course his profile contents are important. However, I would still have replied to let him know I appreciated the effort.
I get so tired of emails that sound cut-and-pasted, self-centered, and that could be sent to anyone. I found his email refreshing, that's all.
He should continue doing what he is doing until he finds an intelligent, low-maintenance and appreciative woman.

It isn't at all that I find his email a turnoff, or that I'm high maintenance or unappreciative.
As I said, I found his email to be refreshing and deserving of a courteous reply. Since I dig intelligence, am low maintenance and appreciative of efforts made on my behalf, I generalized that other women like me would think the same. I gave no thought to the opposite side of this coin.

Seems like you're getting a lot of posts that are not in agreement... :o)
I'll give you my thoughts, if you'd like. I do want an intelligent man who can hold a conversation and who can also just "chill." I want a guy I find attractive, not necessarily an Adonis. I think I'd prefer a Zeus or a Hermes, much more sexy to me... LOL
As for your email, the way I took it (and this does not mean that you meant it that way or that I'm right) but I took it as it was forced. I think I would have preferred a mention of what I read and then some more loose conversation about why you think we'd be a good match... The email felt more like the thesis to a paper as opposed to an introductory email.
Hal, this is only my 2 cents... Again, some women here would LOVE to get an email like that. I think it all depends on the women you want to attract.
Hope this helps. If it doesn't, then it will self-destruct. *wink*
