It can take a while for ladies to reply so dont sweat it because its happening to quite a few of us. Once you get more popoular on the boards and dont act like a fool in front of the ladies (because just like we have the men's lounge, they have the powder room and yes they talk) you should be ok.
As far as talking to the ladies, just be upfront but cordial; for example,
Beamj: hey sweety, just ran across your profile and wow you are a hottie with a body!!! If youre free this saturday, i would love to see you. Lmk
Hottie with a body: yes hun, i am available. How,long you looking for?
Beamj: im looking for an hr. Also i was looking through your reviews and wasnt sure if you were fetish friendly but if so, I would really like to dip your feet in pepto bismol and paint watch you dance. If its too weird, no worries....I'll ask my gf to do it!!! Lol
Hottie with a body: wow you are so funny!!! But yes, i can do that for you. Just be sure to supply your own pepto.....
Wham bam thankya ma'am its all said and done but of course being playful and cordial sure does go a long way.
Happy hunting and I hope you get the replies you are looking for.
