Try looking on the Are you a Newbie Looking for Hhelp thread which has been given a sticky at the top of the cafe page.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction much appreciated.
Have you clicked on "advice" in the menu on the left of your screen? Lots of helpful advice about writing and answering ads there.
Good luck,
Mike.
There is no sure fire way of getting a response and you just have to resign yourself to the fact that the majority of the e-mails you send will disappear without trace and no replies will be forthcoming. This is true for us - a couple with a stunning bi-fem - as it is for single males, though I imagine that the success rate for them might be even lower.
Young74etc., judging by the question you posted you seem to be articulate, able to spell and be gramatically accurate so you are more than half way there! Beyond that jutst try and put together a couple of paragraphs introducing yourself and explaining what you are looking for. If you appear to have made a bit of effort in the e-mail you send you might then get people willing to respond, even if it is just to say 'no thanks'. Make up a generic e-mail if you like and cut and paste it many times but make sure you tailor it to the people you are writing to. Nothing worse than getting a bog-standard, 'Dear sir/madam, fancy a fuck....?'; All that tells the recipient is that you are simply interested in getting your end away wherever and with whomever you can and not interested in them specifically.
Oh, and read their ad carefully and write your message accordingly. As is being discussed on another thread just now there is nothing guaranteed to get an e-mal sent to the b1n faster than one that makes it obvious the person hasn't read our ad carefully!
Best of luck!
