Ok, let's say you're a man and you're trolling around Craigslist casual encounters. You discover an ad by a woman who appears to be neither a robot or an escort, and so you reply. If you never get a response back, one of these reasons probably explains it:
1. Poor Reading Comprehension Skills- If the girl says that you must host, don't ask her when she wants you to come over. If the girl says she wants bondage, don't tell her you want to tenderly make love to her. In other words, read and respond to the actual ad in question.
2. Terrible Accidental Misspellings- I'm no spelling bee champion and I misuse "it's" and "its" all the time, so I understand that mistakes will be made from time to time. However, the crimes against the English language I have seen in my CL responses have been truly cringe worthy and there is nothing sexy about cringing.
3. Terrible Deliberate Misspellings- It's spelled "What" not "wut". Also, if I am going to take the time to fuck you, you should take the time to spell out the word "too."
4. "Pic?"- One sentence replies are irksome enough, but when it consists of only "pic?", "u got a pic?" or "PIC PLEASE!!!", that is an instant deal breaker. This says to me "please let me judge you before I decide whether or not you are worth me writing in complete sentences."
5. "Very oral!!"- Ok, so this is purely a personal pet peeve. My fellow Craigsluts might love this, but for some reason that phrase annoys the shit out of me. First of all, I have low expectations for the oral skills of the average man, and so saying you are very oral seems to promise me only a long, sloppy, protracted session of you lapping at me while I pretend to be into it just to be polite. Not fun.
There are a multitude of other things that you can do wrong, these are but the most obvious ones. Think on them next time you are considering hitting the send button, and maybe, just maybe, you might actually get laid tonight.
