Can you translate for me? When someone emails Hi and nothing more, what is it they want?...

They're trying to intrigue you enough that it baits you into replying so that they can spam you as many pervy messages as possible without the site prohibiting them. :D Or maybe I'm a cynic.

Hi: someone wants sex.
Hi baby: Someone wants sex now
Bitch lasagna: you waited too long to reply to the above

If it is a guy I always assume they want one thing, and if it is a girl I assume it is a guy wanting one thing

They are fishing, sending that a hundred times and hoping someone will bite.

I find they are either shy, don;t know what to say or are looking to be entertained.
I tend to give them a chance if I have little else I care to be doing.

It means they aren't good conversationalists. Don't waste your time. It won't get any better.

I get so many of these and find them really confusing! If you're going to the effort of PMing someone, why not put a teeny-tiny bit of effort into the actual message?! I always respond with 'hi' back, nothing more, nothing less than what they gave me. It normally ends there. xD

Maybe they just were being friendly. You can always just say hi back. Or you can imagine all sorts of bad intentions. I, for one, cannot discern much from a "hi".
