Poor guy

I'm 18 5'10" 165lbs from the suburbs. I'm very
inexperienced. Would you like to give me my first
blow or hand job? If you're interested I'll elaborate
further and send a pic

This one almost made me want to hook up with him just so he'd have to stop using this line. Almost.

Guys, think about what you're trying to do when you respond to a woman's post or personal ad. You're trying to sell yourself. What are your features? Why would you look awesome in my bed? Why should I want, no, crave, to hook up with you?

Yes, at some point, we're going to have to let each other in on our imperfections, the things that we'll have to know about each other, even if they're not necessarily what we're most proud of. But... don't start there.

This guy is probably really sweet, but there's a whiff of desperate hope to his email that is not the right first step to getting into my bed. I wouldn't want him to pretend to have loads of experience, certainly, but... he would have done better to leave off the discussion of his inexperience, or left it less explicit, and given me some personality to get my attention and then, down the line in the discussion, gotten into more detail.

Think about what you want to lead with. I recommend you highlight your strengths.
