Here are 2 of my favorite match.com intro emails…
Donna,
Adventurous and excitng guy here to solve your dilemma. Can you handle this dangerous and naughty guy. I am ready for you now.
Bill
####@yahoo.com
XXX-XXX-XXX (the big easy)
Ciao Bella,
My name is Joe. I am 38 years young and I’m looking for that special person that I can keep SAFE in my arms and who likes to take day trips, go into New York City to walk around and make a few stops at the vending carts. I just can’t get enough of the city. For laughs I go to Champps on Wednesday nights to see people up on stage just making a complete fool of them selves trying to sing. YOU MUST LOVE MUSIC !!!
So, if you are looking for a friend send me an email to #####@verizon.net
Ciao,
Giuseppe
No, I do not have dates with either fellow.
got a couple of smoooooth operators there!
“I am ready for you now”?
Not that I’m any expert of the subject, but I’ve heard that Viagra takes about an hour to “kick in”. Maybe he’s ready for his blow-up doll, but not for you.
(These are examples of quality “matches” you get from match.com??? I’ve read better prose on the walls of men’s rooms…)
Now here’s a suave fellow that will captivate the heart
of any single female. Tall, dark, handsome, and rich.
He’s probably waiting for you right now on match.com!

I especially like the first one-“I’m ready for you now”. The second one is somewhat over the top but not nearly as bad IMO.
I’m always curious as to how well the approach embodied in the first email works. My suspicion is that it’s a matter of numbers-the guys that use these lines reason that it doesn’t matter if they turn off the first 15 or so women they try their line on as long as they score with No. 16. I’ll admit I’m shameless when it comes to flirting, but I’d never say/write something like that because I think it’s revolting. However, I’ve learned to resist the urge to make sweeping conclusions from my own personal experiences, so maybe that there are lots of women out there who eat that sort of stuff up.
I agree the second one isn’t that bad but I can’t help but laugh everytime I read the line: I am 38 years YOUNG and I’m looking for that special person that I can keep SAFE in my arms.
These guys really do consider it a numbers game because these are just two examples of the “broadcast intro email.” They send the exact same email to every girl and hope to get a response. When I first started, I didn’t realize it and thought they were writing these long, drawn out emails to me! Silly Donna.
