Characteristics and content
What kind of content in a personal ad gets your attention?
What kind of messages do you get that you just HAVE to reply to?
And What really annoys you or turns you off ?
(Please be detailed! You could be a huge help to some, and damn entertaining to the rest of us!)

Re: Characteristics and content
"What kind of content in a personal ad gets your attention?"
By priority:
1)Another married person because I know generaly what motivates them to post a profile.
2)A thoughtful propile that shows it's more than just a passing whim.
3)Most of the important stats are filled out if they don't have a picture.
"What kind of messages do you get that you just HAVE to reply to?"
The ones that say they need email/chat attention. Ease of communication is one of my most attractive attributes since I have no picture and the medium commands it.
"And What really annoys you or turns you off ?"
Getting an outside email address as a contact or not getting the courtesy of a "no thanks".
Giving an outside email address is the same as telling me that you aren't going to reply anyway. Even nonVIP members can reply to unlimited emails and use the chat. I use this site because IM is not secure,can pop up at anytime and archives all my sessions.
THAT annoys the hell out of me.

Re: Characteristics and content
For us it's all about how honest the person is. You can usually tell when someone is full of it ,or themselves. Like to know what they are looking for, there likes and dislikes ,expecting etc. Would have to reply to someone with the same interests espcially if they were in the same area, (which is very rare). Also a good sence of humor helps a lot. Someone that will talk with ya even if it's not sexual !!! Major turn-offs are self-centered people, ones that never answer there PMs, one way or the other, and people that are superficial. We try and answer everyone one way or the other just to let them know whats up !!!

Re: Characteristics and content
I just realized you were talking about replying to "messages" and not "profiles".
I made the mistake because messages are rather rare and unsolicited messages are nonexistant.
I reply to all messages. I reply thoughtfuly. I reply promptly.
The worst thing you can do here is to not reply with something. Even if they obviously didn't read your profile very well or can't put two syllables together everyone,moron or not, deserves a reply.
Cut and paste a standard paragraph out of Word or something if you are tired of your 100 emails a day.
Hell, send them to me and I'll act as your secretary. At least I'll get to read some fucking emails.
I am *this* close to posting a dick picture...........I swear to God.

Re: Characteristics and content
I was talking about profiles, ads, and messages!
As for the outside email address, I very rarely give one out, when I do,it's not a brush off, it's my primary email and I only give it (and my IM ID) to someone I've gotten to know very well.
...and now about that dick picture....we're waiting! We need it, need it bad...
