Be truthful about your meeting intentions.

Since some men have chosen to voice there concerns which ultimately may make the site  experience better for all to find love, I will add my feeling. I've been on this site since August of 2022. I try to read every letter I receive. The reason is some ladies put time and thought into their letters to me. Some use my name which at least lets me know you've seen my profile picture. Others use terms of endearment. 

1. But there seems to be this incessant game of "bait and switch" to get a man to write to them. Woman will ask about setting a date to meet in the future. When you respond to their letter discussing the meeting, they change the subject and say, we should get to know each other better. I find the the girls from America will do this the most. But, European like to try this trick. THIS IS A SURE WAY NOT TO HAVE A MAN COMMUNICATE WITH YOU AGAIN. I will always go silent on you if you done this to me. It is like an empty promise. It also shows you are dishonest from start. It may seem like it's a small thing, but it's not the appropriate way to get a man's attention.

2. Ladies if a man responds to your letter, read it. Let him know you read his letter by commenting on what he wrote. He'll feel like you are listening to him and trying to make a connection. Its frustrating when I take the time to write about myself and the woman doesn't even comment on one thing. Message deleted!!

3. Bragging about how rich you is not a positive trait. I realize woman do it to show a man how purposeful and successful they are. If you're rich, the man will find out later on. You could lose your wealth while you're together, and that may be the only reason the man pursued you. 

4. Talking about sexual acts in an introduction letter or shortly thereafter can be a turn-off to some men. Believe it or not most men aren't 24 hour sexual addicts.

5. If a man requests your personal contact information and you deny it, tell him why you did. Don't try to continue writing him like it never happened. If he knows why you did it, he may not stop communicating like I've already done to two ladies. It will help him understand better why you did it and if a future is possible for the two of you. I think I can speak for most men that we aren't here for pen-pals or a virtual relationship.

I hope my suggestions will help ladies how to approach a gentleman. Of course there those that will scoff at my suggestions and that's fine.

Thank you for openly sharing your thoughts and experiences. It can be seen that sincerity and honesty in communication are important to you, and these are really fundamental qualities for any relationship. Your observations help to understand how important it is to value each other's time and attention, and not to play "bait and switch". You rightly emphasize the importance of active participation in the dialogue - when a person hears and feels that they are being heard, a real connection arises. And, of course, the approach to the topic of material or intimate issues also requires delicacy, so that relations are built on respect and trust. Your advice can become a useful guide for those who are looking for a serious relationship. They remind that communication should be honest and considerate, and any actions are dictated by the desire to build a real relationship, not an illusion or benefit.

To be honest, it's hard for me to follow the "rules" because I trust intuition more than strategy. But I understand that sometimes it's important - and not only for myself, but also for another person. Don't laugh, but I believe that even in this digital chaos you can find someone real. Someone with whom you will be calm, interesting and just good - without games and unnecessary tension. Maybe you're already halfway to meeting such a person. Or maybe - this meeting has already begun, you just don't know about it yet :) Take care of yourself.

What if I read a letter, reply to everything with a long letter in return, and then a man never writes back?
