I,ve only been a member for a week but have met some very sound people

Having just joined , Ive found that reading the profiles of the people you wish to respond to and clearly understanding the mandate that their profile lays out, is key also being polite and and understanding to their prerequisites ,is imperative. These peole have to think about there safety and security and the way you represent yourself will undoubtable have an effect on their descions as to reply to you or not.manners maketh man and a facial photo if you are serious about attempting to meet someone is a must.I,m no oil painting but understand the requirements of potential partners to see if there is at least a physical attraction,.Also the content of what you write should show respect and understanding of the requirements of the people posting their profiles outlining what they are looking for, just a thought .andy
