Ok, I don't get it, I get lots of responses to my ads, but when I write to someone, they NEVER write back. Do you think I am saying something wrong or maybe the guys I write to are out of my league? I usually just say something like, hey I like your profile, ask a question about something in it, (like, "what are you studying in grad school?"), then like "take a look at my profile, and write back if you'd like. hope to hear from you." I really can't see ANYTHING wrong with what I write...I don't get it.

try just saying hi I like your profile :~)
instead of asking qestions and introducing yourself. The first thing anyone would do is look at your profile where they can find all the info... I m afraid to some people asking too many questions might sound desperate or offensive (as in why are you so curious type a thing...)

Remember - it's possible they aren't members (though most would wink to let you know).

Also, keep those emails brief. A couple sentences. I've gotten a couple 6 paragraph emails and it's a bit freaky because it makes the people seem needy.

same here. I would wink or email, they would actually email back, ask a few questions, I'd respond and then BOO (ghost city). Never hear back. People are strange. Just don't take it personally.
