I think you are doing all the right things with regards to your profile. From your interactions on the forums, I can't imagine you being rude to anyone you might write to. You do have very specific things in your profile. Maybe some people see those things & stop there. Everyone is different. If they toss your email without reading it, they probably aren't worth anymore of your time & it is a great clue to cross that person off your list. I almost always read & respond to emails sent to me, but sometimes I get tired of the plain old "hi" emails. Those usually are written by someone with almost nothing on their profiles, so once in awhile, I will just delete them. Or if the person writing is rude, or demanding, into the trash, those will go, as well. I have a rather lengthy profile on purpose. It helps me weed out those that haven't bothered to read it. Things I look at when I get messages, are the profiles. Are they filled out? Do they have a pic that can show me I might have an attraction to them? Are they full of a wish list of what they want done to them? Not interested. I look at their forum posts. Is there anything there? For me, it gives me a glimpse of the personality. Are they naked? Not interested. Are they dressed in women's clothing? Not interested. If those things are in order, I love hearing from people that can carry on a normal vanilla conversation, & are polite. I want to know why they are writing, & why they are interested in me. A paragraph for first contact is usually more than enough to start. I always feel bad when I get almost a book from people, & have to tell them I am not interested. Think of it almost like a job resume. You have much to say, but only a little bit of room to say it. You want to make the person more curious. Often, you can use something you found in their profile to use in your introduction that might make them want to know more about you. That way, they not only know you read it, but they see that you might have something in common with them.
