Tell Me More About Yourself

I sometimes get these requests and I don't quite know what to write.

My profile is pretty descriptive about what I like to do, what I am looking for etc.

I usually answer back "what would you like to know?" After doing this, I just got back a "I don't think we're a good fit" reply.

Could it be these people are not subscribers and decided they did not want to join on my account? I refuse to do the cheesy inserting of email address in the message.

Thoughts?

I don't like the generic 'tell me about yourself much' either - I much prefer specific questions (where are you from, do you have siblings, where did you go to school, etc.) as they show more interest.

I always hated when guys would ask me that question, along with "So what would you like to know about me?" To me it's like asking, "So....do you walk to school or carry a lunch?"

I've been getting good mileage from "So, how big are your breasts?"...

PS - Believe it or not when I was in High School my buddy and I used to call Kentucky Fried Chicken and ask whoever answered that exact question. We'd tape record it and play it back later. Not many people figured out that it was a joke. My friend was very good at asking one or two real questions then "lowering the boom"...

Lg, I almost fell off my chair laughing...I think you missed your calling. You should be a comedian.

I don't think I can reply to emails by asking "how big are your breasts", unless they have the man-breast disease.

That picture of the pope...priceless!!!

Thanks all for your input. I will keep them in mind next time I get the dreaded email.
