Although, I have to agree with Goodtimes: That if we receive an email from someone, we at least look at the profile. Then if we're interested, we're interested, and it doesn't matter what was in the email as long as it doesn't read like an abreviated text message. Sometimes though if we see too many negatives, such as "no this, no that, and absolutely none of this, and no etc... " listed in the profile, it sort of translates to unnecessary drama that we don't want to deal with. Not just for you, but everyone should be sure to keep a balance of positive and negative when developing an online profile and including dis-interests. If I had to guess, a response to an initial contact is probably 80% determined by the profile, not the email (assuming it is a polite freindly coherent email by someone who can write halfway decent grammar).
However, in initially contacting a couple we tend to read the profile sometimes and figure out if we might have something in common. But most often, it start's something like: "We saw your profile, and thought it looked interesting." If they're interested, they write back. If they're not, they usually don't or they give the "no thanks."
