Title: my results so far. Post by: Gman on September 20, 2002, 04:00:00 AM Just thought I'd share some numbers from my experience, so far. I ran an ad with Elena Petrova. Initailly the ad did not run correctly, when i contacted them indicating that I received no responses, they re-ran the ad and i started receiving responses the next week.
I received a total of 33 responses by e-mail, 1 response met some of my criteria but had some traits i did not desire, 6 responses read my ad enough to use my name in their response, 4 agencies responded with a generic e-mail, 16 responded with boiler plate responses (and did not even meet my specified critieria), 5 were scammers, and 1 clicked. So overall 2 were in the ballpark the rest were a waste of time and at best were using the shot-gun approach on their part since they did not meet the qualities i was specifically looking for. But I really clicked with one, we've e-mailed each other daily for 3 weeks,and have started instant messaging for the last week. FWIW, Title: 33 to 1?

Hmmm... that sounds about right :-) My first experience was 200 to 1. My second was about 14 to 1. This last time was about 6 to 3. But one of those turned out to be a scammer. If the one you found is THE ONE... then the odds are just right :-) Title: Re: my results so far.

Gman, You can crunch the numbers any way you want, but the truth of the matter is that all you need is ONE. The RIGHT one. You may hit the jackpot early, or late or never. Remember that there are no rules when it comes to affairs of the heart (inspite of what others may tell you what you MUST do) Best of luck to you. KenC |
