I'm interested in hearing opinions on this subject ... Generally speaking I've initaited contact with a vast majority of the people I've met on here. There are four people who contacted me first. Whether it be a wink or a message, I find that men initiate more first contacts than women do. Maybe I'm wrong about this ... but do women often make the first contacts with men, more often than I give credit for?

Well..... I guess if you look at it from the way the website's set up it really shouldn't matter. I know that when I lived in New Orleans I did make most of the first contacts, although it was about 70%-30%. Now since my move up here in the N. Georgia mountains, I'd give the highest percentage rate of first contacts to the women, beings that I've sent 4 winks and recieved over 45 from woman up here and it's also been about the same with with emails except the numbers are a little closer as well as smaller  I think from taking a look at my mail box since I read this post that I've made about 25% of the first contacts with a total of 50 contacts being made since I've opened and changed geographical my information here

I'm wondering from your response _missing_ if it maybe has to do with one's profile ... I project the "nice guy" image, from the standpoint (truthfully) of what I want and expect, that I go to church, and that I'm honest and open. Do people like the "bad boy" image and go for it, or does it really have to do with location?

Very Interesting replies! Missing-I love your description about your date, sounds very familiar. And your pic is awesome.Good luck in your search! Ricky, good for you-about Sunday!Also good luck with your search. DB- speaking for myself, a bad boy will run me off, been there done that and not at all interested, be yourself(your true self) and the right one will come along, just have faith. But I do feel what you put in your profile impacts others, but I also feel you should project yourself as who you are, not what you think everyone wants.About location, I guess it could make a difference between a lasting relationship and one that was not meant to last, all depending on relocating if you meet the right one. Hope my thought help!

I have received more than I have sent. But that is because I do not want to seem too pushy. I am always trying to look hard for the right ones to wink at because I would not want to send the wrong message to the wrong type of guy. Maybe the women are just more causious.

I've always assummed the men initiate the most contacts since we outnumber the women about 30 to 1 on these sites. But, that's only an assumption, I know I've personally intitiated the vast majority of my contacts.

No disrespect to those that attend Church and truely live their lives as a Christian..... but beware there are wolves hiding in sheep clothing , that hide behind a cloak of the church to pretend to be someone they are not.
Now back to the original question... I tend to be old fashioned in my thinking when it comes to dating , so I tend to not make the initial contact. However when I see someone in the forums that seems to march to the same drummer as me, I may write to comment on their post or their blog.

I'm a female and don't have any problem winking or sending an initial email. I think if you find someone that you find interesting, taking the "wait and see if they notice or contact me first" attitude could cost you meeting that special someone. I have seen though on here that there is not a whole lot of action with emails and winks. I think a lot of it has to do with the not posting pictures. I'd hate to say that its probably a root cause, but I feel sure that I'm right. I know, I sound like the pot calling the kettle black because I don't have one posted either, but I do have pictures and I don't mind sending one to anyone thats one when asked. But I do like others to read about me before deciding just on looks alone. Anyway, I'll step off my soapbox now so that the next poster can hop on, but I wish you all (including myself), the best of luck in finding that special someone.

This is what I know men from the old fashion point of you are the ones that are supposed to initiate contact with a female. However that was back in the day where man was the primary bread winner and all that stuff. Now a days woman have thought so hard and long to have equal rights with man and they are getting close. However for some reason they will not take the responsibility of being equal when it comes to dating for some reason they still want a knight in shinning armor. Well most women do. So who should I think who ever sees the other person first.
