Icebreakers - How's It Going Ladies?
|
Yeah? Can you send me the handle for that guy? Thanks!

nothing I put in an icebreaker got accepted, even after repeated tries. I got pissed and quit trying. Legally, it's questionable. Morally, disgusting. Personally... I like it. Your body may be a temple, but mine is a playground. Think weird things happen to you? I beg to differ: If a bear shits in the zoo A small something to add [post 3181492]

So far so good here. Though one guy was a bit farther then what I thought my cupid setting was set for. But oh well, it is easy enough to email and let them know they are really too far for anything to happen. Seemed like a nice enough guy though. I am loving the silver. I can email without having to worry about the 10 email limit now, if I get going with a good conversation through email with someone.

I think this is discriminatory and sexist!!! Even though I'm looking primarily for females, going by the number of guys that visit my profile I still am an asset to your "bottom line" of attracting PAYING guys!!! If it's fun, exciting or pleasurable...it's either illegal, bad for you or fattening!!!

I agree.. to me this is no more discriminatory than 'ladies nite' at the bar. Even the Hedonist weekends do NOT allow single men on the trips as they know they would have 500 horny men and about 10 women running for their lives. The odds are already so many men to women (probably over 100 - 1 if you count the out of state guys asking women), that this may... MAY... bring more women in, and some of the IB messages are VERY helpful and it may bring a better time to everyone. Just my opinion.

Yes, anytime. Go to : My Account - Preferences - Icebreaker preferences. There you can disable, edit, and modify the flirt/hotlist/friend invite settings. Ryan, I'm afraid your statement is entirely misleading. For the past two or so days I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to change the text. I'm not exactly sure what is the cause for not working (bug, some other insects or even flying monsters) but the fact that this option is UNAVAILABLE for use at present time is totally annoying. ~~I may be no better, but at least I am different.~~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau ~~Stop by my adventure land ~♑~Reambiguating the world~♑~

When the offer initially popped up, I responded "Not Now" but will I have a chance to accept at a later time? It's never popped up again so I figured it was a one time deal. Will there be another opportunity to accept?

I would love it but my message was not approved. I'v changed it three times and still not approved. So I guess its just more crap!

The offer is still open, to join the scheme go to: My Profile - Preferences - Icebreaker Preferences. From there at anytime you can you can opt in/opt out/edit Icebreaker/update flirt, hotlist, friend invite settings. it was actually: My Profile Cupid Preferences Icebreakers but i did get there. now it's been 3 times to get my Ice Breaker message approved! there is nothing objectionable or personal in the message. i am frustrated. first it was the message rejected, then the pics didn't upload but the message was ok, then the pics DID upload and they did not approve the previously approved message.

I took a similar approach to Homebird with a message that conveys the email is a starting point and I haven't seen their profile yet. So far, I've not noticed a negative difference. I've had a couple of responses to the icebreaker (it was shown in their reply) and they were much nicer emails that the run-of-the-mill ones I normally get out of the blue. I have noticed, though,that the people weren't matches on some key points so I'm going to review my cupid settings in case it was my doing and see what happens then. One pleasant thing I haven't noticed is I'm getting more views to my profile than before - I hadn't registered that Silver members come higher in searches than Standard? That puzzled me for a few days until I worked out how it was happening. I would say overall I like it so far. Please don't just pull it if there's a bit of negative feedback. There are so many tweaks that could be done to make it work and still do what was intended. I hope that's the route that will be taken. NG PS Happy to read that it IS still Lifetime Membership for as long as our icebreaker is active. I too was puzzled by the renewal date. "What's wrong with comfort and efficiency?" "Nothing but no-one wants to f**k it."

YW Wilder. Sorry had I noticed I would have mentioned this... your problem is that you have to have a profile photo in order to qualify for the scheme (no stipulation as to the nature of the photo) If you decide to upload a photo you need to wait for it to be approved before re-submitting your Icebreaker.

Even though it looks like the women could get bombarded with more unwanted and misdirected emails by using icebreakers, I think when written with some thought, an icebreaker email can still help you spend less time separating the genuine replies from the disingenuous ones. Simply writing a more personal icebreaker email and including something in your profile like "please put (blank) in subject line of emails to show you've read my profile" should allow you to find your important emails and delete the guys who obviously don't listen more quickly while encouraging a few more genuine replies.

Thank you for the upgrade. I have gotten lots of new emails. Some live in my state and some don't. I'm just glad to welcome all new comers to a wonderful chat site for adults to find friends. Thanks for the Silver Ball....

Not sure if the Icebreaker is a great idea or not. I have mixed feelings about it. I like the idea of sending email to members that are new. However, I really hate that everyone that is sent an icebreaker is now HOTLISTED by LesbianPersonals for me. No matter what I do to change the setting it still hotlists them. ANNOYING these poor people think I am really interested in them and now emailing me ALOT and getting upset when I don't respond since LesbianPersonals hotlisted them to my profile. It is misleading. Trying to explain I didn't hotlist them is just too much work for me. I am about to turn off Icebreakers.

nice now lets see if any ladies will send me an icebreaker . This is going to be a big part of the problem Ryan.... guys seriously think we 'send' them to them as you have noted and do not get that it is randomly sent to them based on YOUR decision of if they match our Cupid Settings or not, and many do NOT match at all.

I'm equivocal. While for my purposes I like having the Silver upgrade and I don't mind replying to the extra emails, I wonder if it doesn't set up guys for a disappointment. I have to imagine they are going to think the women aren't "real" if they don't write back, which if they are deluged they may not.

OMFG! This is absolutely one of THE MOST retarded things LesbianPersonals has ever come up with!! So much of this concept relies on (both men & women's) profiles being filled out correctly. (For example, if I get a flirt, I normally don't pay much attention to it, UNLESS it comes from a Gold or Silver member. Those profiles are the most likely to be legit, since those are paid membership levels. Additionally, if a woman wants to be given a complimentary upgrade, (which should be bronze so it is not confused with a PAID SILVER membership,) shouldn't SHE be the one who initiates contact with the other member?? ...whether that is via hotlist, email, or flirt?? If I receive some type of recognition from someone, naturally, I assume SHE sent it and SHE may be interested. I know I'm not the only guy on here who thinks and will think this way. Back in the FRAUD THREAD within this blog, you heard several earfuls from the participants here (many practically begging) that super flirt be done away with, new members denied the opportunity to flirt & hotlist, and downright outrage concerning the number of FAKE-ass profiles on here. Now, after a period of time & certain activity, an automatic silver upgrade will be bestowed upon random women. YOU PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN SPOT a FAKE PROFILE with a description of a black woman with a white woman's picture on it!!??!! WTF?? How in the world do you reasonably think you folks can set up some kind of automated algorithm to determine what a legitimate user is... when the FACTS are that your human elements in the process can't even get it right?? And, what criteria will be used to determine when a complimentary silver membership is no longer applicable? What gets that taken away? When does it expire? Or is it granted in perpetuity? Further, you have instantly DILUTED the value of the Silver Membership; congratulations. Why don't you people take some of these off the wall ideas & run them by the crowd on here before you implement them? You're going to get better feedback on what will & won't work from the amount of people who are here, actually using the site, instead of whatever is dreamed up within the think tank bubble as the latest & greatest idea of the week. Also, I realize that the site is trying to draw women, which in turn draws men. But, isn't this also a little slap in the face to our long time couples members who are silver members? Doesn't it say to those couples who WON'T be getting an auto-silver upgrade, "thanks for being here, but we do NOT value your participation here enough to recognize you with a complimentary upgrade." (I won't even get started on the fact that y'all also pissed on & discriminated against all the "silver men" on here, since it's well known there is a long standing double standard for men & women. Really now, would it be so complicated to put this new scheme in to the context of a BRONZE membership, instead of diluting the value of the silver membership?? At least then, we could tell who was auto-upgraded (and possibly still a fake) vs. the legitimate member who forked over the cash to be a paid silver member. And too, it would make it more discernable to "us men" when the women actually initiate with us instead of the automated thing!!?? The idiocy of this site never ceases to amaze me in how easy it is to f#ck up a good thing, something that works, and turn it in to a pile of sh!t instantly.
