Strike "grassroots" and substitute "gregarious".

Yeah, yeah. All you fuckers are gonna rib me with the one-word greetings. Bastards.

We assumed this lifestyle would be filled with grassroots, outgoing people. We’re astonished at how difficult it has been to find others who can carry their end of a conversation.

So, I'll often respond with one word, just to see if they'll have another single word reply. I'm curious to see how far it will go. The furthest was about five responses from each of us, but then I got bored and ended it. What was the point of mocking the fool if they were too dumb to realize I was making fun of them?

We received an e-mail yesterday: "Nice profile" nothing else.

Not as bad as the IM that reads "GM".
It got my standard "Ford" in return.

Seriously, "how are you?" would be an improvement.
Lately I've taken to answering that I don't know how to respond to one word emails. I get a follow up response maybe half the time.

We can't tell you how many mails or IMs just like that we have gotten since we joined this site. In fact we got 2 IMs today with that exact same line in them. One single male the other a couple. We simply deleted them and moved on. Of course we try to answer all e-mails so in response to those we put "Fine, and you?" So far we have yet to get a reply back LOL.

Just a piece of advice. For the love of all that is holy, if you're contacting someone for the first time via email, say something more than just "How are you?". I can't speak for others, but I find it annoying as hell to get mono-syllabic no-effort emails. Doesn't have to be a novel either. At the very least, tell me WHY you wanted to reach out. "You're funny/cute/sexy and we'd love to get acquainted." etc. It AIN'T that difficult.
Yeah, I just got one like that today. Maybe I'm just an insensitive prick....
