Mentioning specifics in an initial email


Recommended Posts

I know when men send emails to women, sometimes they may not mention specifics to the woman's profile.

 

For instance, I read a profile of a woman who said she likes to hang out at downtown location.

 

I had mentioned I was down there the other night at a concert/street festival and it was great. Also mentioned that I tend to go there frequently, even though I live 45 mins away.

 

Named off some specific venues by name even and asked her what were her favorite downtown spots and places to dine. i.e. Coffee House, Bistros, etc.

 

Does this work in your favor gentlemen? Yes? No?

Well, when I give info I don't think of favor, as it is only to show variances in what peeps like or dislike. To me, what peeps do that I don't, does not effect how much I really know about them as a person. So I assume the same with others.

 

Example... I would frequent biker bars, but I never was one to hang with them outside of that arena. Yet I also frequent the city's performing arts center. If I thought it will sway I would probably not say too much about what I enjoy in particular locations.

 

I guess I have a higher tolerance to differences than others, so what ever I share, I cannot expect that it will be as accepted.

Hard to tell. It might demonstrate that my message is specific to the recipient and not something I cut-and-pasted to 100 women, which does seem to be important to some women (based on what some of them say on here, and what some of them say in their profiles).

 

Beyond that, it's hard to conduct a meaningful experiment on whether that factor improved my chances of getting a reply/date.
