So I sorted out my POF profile and now I am getting a fair amount of women messaging me on a daily basis.
It is becoming evident to me that often women cant think of much to say and I get one specific message quite often.

"I like your hair"
"I love your dreads"
"Your dreads are awesome"

The obvious answer to this would be something like "Ah thnx" but often the kind of people who send it wont respond to that without a 2nd message.

Any ideas?

Women are shit at starting conversations. The best thing is, once you get them started you can't shut them up so really all you have to do is get them something to work with.

In other words You have to do 90% of the work to start with then that will chance to about 30% later on.

If you were her what would you reply to "Ah thnx". It's a dead end doesn't engage her and she basically has to put all her effort into thinking of something to reply to. Lead her do the hard work so all she ahs to do is respond.

"Thanks I grew them myself, have you ever been with a guy with dreads before? Have you ever wanted dreads"

Kinda basic but that's just what I've come up with on the spot. at least It's an invitation for her to talk

I call them out on it especially if she said in her profile that she wants someone that puts effort into her messages lol
