This is an issue that I'd like to get some more opinions of, especially from you guys who have gamed online quite extensively.
I've been getting back into online game (match, eharmony, okc). I write a 3-6 sentence creative intro message and sign my name. I sometimes get these very brief, one sentence responses and they don't tell me their name. I asked one person about this, they said these girls are curious about you, they're just waiting for you to take initative (as if opening them with an email wasn't enough initiative already?). Even a few girls on the paid site match.com are doing this. A few of the women on eharmony will give me their email address and ask me to contact them there "if you so desire". Should I bother responding to these brief responses, or just consider them attention whores and 'next' them?
