I would never want them to try to convince me. In fact, if a recruiter tried to poach me from a job I would not talk with them again. It shows that they are only after short-term gains and don't actually care about the people or companies involved.
When I have reason to move I will post my resume, and then it won't take any convincing. If I have already worked with a recruiter and had positive dealings with them, then I might contact them first.
I completely agree. During my previous job I got contacted by a recruiter asking me if we could make an appointment to discuss my future, and that this appointment would be 'discrete'. Like I'd be cheating on my wife or something. It always felt really off and I never took them up on it.

I've become completely numb to these messages. I don't ever read past the subject line.
Thank you this is valuable feedback!
