Generic e-mails

[Ed & Bunny]

What does everyone think of generic pre made emails?

We got two responses to our profile tonight and were not impressed with either as we could tell both were predone and had no personal touch. What is worse, is that the first was from a Bi fem couple and mostly stated that they were looking for FFM. Uh hello our profile states we are a same room couple and Bunny is strait. Why would you send that to us. The second was from a single male. Sorry guys, with as many of you as are out there and the problems you face in the lifestyle, dont you think personalizing an email might put you at better odds of getting a response?

Well we will respond to both because we feel that if they took the time to send us something, we at least should reply. We even say this in our profile. Its just that our repsonse may not be as good as is if they took more time to be more personal.

ever hear of flock shooting? They seem to be using your posting for their bulk-mail attempts, just engaging in a numbers game.

We treat them just as we do other spam, directly to the trash.

We have 2 stock replies we use but only in those cases that we are not interested. Its hard enough to think of a way to say no thank you once let alone coming up with a new way each and every time.

I'm thinking spam also if they are way out of your description. But for us we have a wider description for what we do. So we get mails from a bigger variety of people.

I think Mrs.fun personalizes each mail, but I see some generic in a way with.

"Hello we find your profile interesting and hope you feel the same about us. Whats a good way to share more information about each other and possibly meet in the future."

I mean to me thats the jest of it, gotta start somewhere. Like I say, she doesn't copy and paste the same thing because she reads their profile and might see something like a particular club or personal liking that might be added. I'm just sayin you have to start somewhere.

I'm not crazy about those obviously mass emails, either. Occasionally we'll get ones like you describe, there they could not possibly have ever read our profile. But I figure their plan is to just send out a bunch of emails and see what kind of response they get--like fishing with a net versus a pole.

Like you, we send them a reply, but it's a very basic one. "Thank you for writing to us. Sorry, we are not interested."

Of course, if someone sends us an email that reflects a genuine interest and that they took the time to actually read our profile, the reply they receive will be much more friendly/personalized--whether we're interested or not.

Something like this screams spam to me, and I know that from what I've seen that email can't be sent out by masses on the personal sites. However, I don't really feel like spam warrants my effort to respond. Further more if you're concerned about them going through the effort to send an email, it doesn't seem that they read your profile well that long (if at all). For that matter they probably didn't put much effort in sending your individual email, it it was something that appeared to be predone. We all know how easy it is to cut and paste.

My conclusion would be: That's 30 seconds I can't get back, and I wouldn't even bother responding. Some people just don't have common sense.

We consider generic pre-fab messages junk mail.

Regarding the other people not reading or comprehending the profile (could be either) that's very common regardless of the whether the email is pre-fab or not. Many just look at the pics.

We have developed a cut-n-paste reply, "We're not the people you seek. Good luck in your search."

I am glad we are not the only ones who feel this way about the cut and paste appoach. While yes there is a basic formula to what we write others, we still feel like taking the time to say something to let the other couple know that we actualy read their profile. Also we like to invest what we would like to get out of a potential contact.

I think we will now treat them like the rest of you do and put as much effort into our reply as they did their mail. We will hit the "not interested" button.

Oh come on, be honest, if they are hot, it really doesn't matter what their email says. The only time we really notice lame emails is when it is from someone who we definitely are not compatible with.

So, to be totally honest, I think people make a lot bigger deal about emails around here than is really warranted. To us, all that matters is do we think they are enough our type to want to meet them? If yes, we respond back as such, no matter what their first email actually said. If no, they get our standard "no thanks" reply, again, no matter what their original email said.

I have to ask this, if a couple is really hot, and on reading their profile they sound just like what you normally look for, but the email they sent you is not so great, are you really going to tell us that you would ignore them or give them a "no thanks"?

I seem to get a lot of mass mails from guys my age or even a year of three older who search an older lady to pleasure.....

I usually answer in the like of "Actually reading an profile has it's merits"

We are just sitting here talking about this and we both agree, your right.

MrsFun handles the arrangements, on sls as you know.

Mrs.fun says she doesn't really like to turn people down who approach us though. First thing obviously is that by them contacting us, they are interested.. If I understand what she is telling me here, its more about all the things that come up that causes the failures for what ever reasons. She works with meeting more than one potential playmates. Then by the time we can make it to a club, dinner , house party. Cancellations happen... Then we hope to have one couple or single, to meet on a given time we can get out.

I think somehow, thats playing the odds

Dumb e-mail or not, we rarely turn down anyone interested

Either we haven't gotten an email that was THAT dumb, or we agree with you.... I'm not sure which it is. I've gotten some emails that annoyed me and I will still go to look at their profile and see what is there. If the profile matches the email, they get trashed. If the profile gives me something to work with, I'll work with it... sadly most often the first instinct from the email is usually right.

The most recent example of this for us, was not a generic email but just someone who had no righting skillz atall so everything was in lowercase letters and there was no punctuation. At first I thought it was just they got in a hurry with the email, but their profile was the same way. Then when they finally sent a picture it was so blurry you couldn't even make out their shapes.

OK Busted. But we will take a much closer look before responding though. But if they are borderline, the email probobly will be enough to make us say no.

Yea, I think we agree, and believe me, a year ago I might have said that if someone would have sent us a lame email it would have been a no go.

But a short time ago we got one of those emails. All it said was, "Nice tits. (in the subject box) Interested? (in the body of the email)"

Now, in my opinion, that is about as lame an email as you can get from someone. And normally, we would actually just ignore such a lame email and delete it. But like we almost always do, we clicked on their profile. And judging by their pictures they were hot, and after reading their profile, sure enough, pretty much what we are looking for. So, we wrote them back.
