I think a better question would be, "Why don't people read whole profiles before they respond?" When I get e-mails from people who don't meet the criteria that I said, specifically that I was looking for, sometimes I respond and sometimes I don't! People totally ignore things like "non-smoker', "single", etc. It's unrealistic to expect a response from everyone you e-mail! I can't understand why people are hurt by that! Why give other people that power over you? Grow up!

I agree, but I don't think these posts are about power. I think people are just lamenting the lack of courtesy around here, which I certainly think is lamentable at times.

Nittanylion;
I know the other posts are not about power. However, when one is hurt because people are not responding to them, they are therefore giving that person the power to hurt them. Someone they don't even know! It's not about being rude or not being courteous. It's about facing the reality of on-line dating, and being capable of dealing with it.

I understand that YOU are saying that everyone should "face the reality of on-line dating." I understand that you are not speaking about courtesy. But others' posts ARE about courtesy. So I don't get your point.

Sorry! Didn't realize that my post had to be the same as everyone else's! Are we operating on the "hive mind" basis here? I'm posting my views on the question. Why would you feel that you have to chastise me for my views? You have the right to yours and I have the right to mine. If you don't get my point, just move on to the next post. No big deal.

I certainly didn't mean to chastise you. I'm sorry if it came across that way. As far as directing me to "just move on," I must say that I generally respond to posts addressed to me. If you don't want to clarify for me, just say so. Sheesh!

Nobody has to write you back if they don't want to. There is no rule of etiquette requiring it. And there is no reason to be offended by someone deleting your message. Its not an objective evaluation of your intellect or character, so don't take it as one. Most of the women on this site are not looking for articulate men, they are looking for rich hunks.

The fact that you think someone is obligated to respond it all, kind of would lead someone to think you have control issues, even if you don't. You need to have a higher opinion of yourself and realize that it is thier loss.

If you're typing 2+ page icebreakers, you're doing something wrong.

Just write shorter icebreakers. You have other things to do in your life. :P


That's a relevant point, but I also feel that an icebreaker that is too short generally deserves no response.

I often get messages saying "Hi, feel free to read my profile and message me back."

Um, you're the one that took an interest in me so why don't you actually write something to introduce yourself instead of putting the onus on me? I generally just delete those messages without responding. Maybe that's rude, but when I message someone for the first time I actually put the effort in. If you're not going to put any effort into an icebreaker, don't expect someone to put in the effort of responding.

Uh, are you ok? I don't know you...I think you're a little... overinvolved... here...relax. Why so angry? Breathe.


{Then there are those times when all a woman has to do is read this thread to know when to PRAY that "he" doesn't write back. Yikes.}

ya wavrydr... i think men like bully boy forget that women can afford to be picky about the men they respond to for a number of reasons... one would be because it's so much easier for a woman to get laid than it will ever be for a man. ;) whinin', cryin', girly men get no play from this kitten, that's for sure... if i'm gonna take the time to date someone, they better know how to be a man... i'm far too comfortable being a woman to dominate a relationship.

it's just so freakin' funny to get a "wanna fvck" message, reply back with "thanks but no thanks" and then get another message saying "you're fat anyway!" HA! i couldn't laugh harder at men like that if you sat here and tickled me til i peed myself!!! oh ya, men "wanna fvck" you all night long until you tell them you're not interested and then all of a sudden i'm fat? ya, that's the kind of guy i wanna date!

One should ALWAYS write back at some point....if you take the time to present yourself online, and open yourself to accept the message.....give the courtesy to give one back....even if not what the other anticipates and/or desires....sometimes you meet the greatest friends that way....just a POV...

YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T TAKE IT PERSONAL. YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT NO ONE OWES ANYONE ANYTHING. WE GET SO MUCH EMAIL IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. I HATE HAVING TO RESPOND TO EVERYONE OUT OF "COURTESY". MANY OF US DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE BACK TO EVERYONE WHO CONTACTS US. IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING A RESPONCE, THAT SHOULD BE ANSWER ENOUGH. ON ANY GOOD DAY, IT'S BETTER THAN A "F...OFF". HAPPY HUNTING.

COURTESY? IT'S A NICE WAY OF STATING "FEELING OBLIGATED TO RESPOND". SOME OF US HAVE A LIFE AND DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO "SPARE". (NICE WAY OF SAYING "WASTE") IF I LOVED TO TYPE THAT MUCH, I'D WRITE A BOOK! ;)
