| why woman don't reply to a proper message?
Posted: 8/26/2007 8:41:05 AM | Dunno. On a tangential (sp?) note, I've noticed a few profiles lately with "If I don't reply, it's because I'm not interested", or a variation thereof.
I wonder why people think it's okay to be rude if they explain it beforehand? If I put in my profile that I would deliberately belch as loud as I could on our first (and probably last!  ) date, would that make it all right?
I guess not replying is the new "black" this season. Oh, well...

Posted: 8/26/2007 10:37:32 AM | Hi:
I've wondered the same. I suspect women are inundated with responses and/or have been frustrated. Still, a no thanks is better than a non-response. I can't speak for all the men here but I wouldn't send back a nasty response.
I know that I respond to all messeges from women.
To the women who don't respond "No thanks" because some men send back a nasty "reject" response, why not find a different site where the ratio of men to women is not 5:1 or whatever it is here. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
To those women who have answered responses politely, thank you.
Just my 2 cents.

Posted: 8/26/2007 10:55:52 AM | When I reply I always list our common interests, elaborate on parts of the interests. I almost always have to say something about the distance we are apart, as I live in a fairly rugged and remote part of Vancouver Island. I always "talk" as if my grandmother was in the same room, nothing raunchy, just Mr Niceguy.
It seems to work for me, after a few messages I was talking on the phone to 3 women yesterday, one went on til 2 am.
I don't worry about replies, I just want to know that I can still attract women, after being shot down by my soon to be ex. Allis good. | |

Posted: 9/12/2007 9:21:26 PM | Not responding in rural areas would be like being 'stuck on yourself' or unfreindly.
I understand when a man or woman walk down the street and someone is trying to approach them in a large city, most give them the cold shoulder out of the 'protection syndrome'.
However up in Montana, where many Californians are moving into, carrying on like you are in the 'city' is seen as rude up there.
Urbanites from Cali-Fornicate find by being stuck up, that soon in small towns when folks see that attitude they *Do Not* want you to infect the atmosphere, so they say "They are out of gas " when you are trying to fill your car at the service station with three cars presently filling their tank. They take their 'snooty attitude' to the grocery and they are filling out a check the clerk says "Sorry, we can't take that check" . This behaviour goes on forever till one finally realizes that the citizens have decided it's time to move out of town.
Same with those who 'Do Not' respond, you finally put it together just how shallow their personality really is!
After all they did put forth a Profile or are they courting bad Karma by being rude to potential suitors? | |

Posted: 9/13/2007 4:37:26 PM | I guess I don't understand why people get so upset about this. I have been guilty of not responding, especially if the emails consist of one line i.e. "how are you"?
I have also been on the other end, I have emailed guys and gotten no response or "read deleted" It doesn't bother me, and tells me all I need to know in that they are not interested. | |

Posted: 9/13/2007 4:59:21 PM | | Sorry that happens to you. That just shows you the kind of person they are to begin with no reply. I always reply to all my emails. I give a friendly hello and nice to meet you and tell them thanks for saying hello. Most people appreciate it and talk as well and to see if there is anything in common or to take any further getting to know each other. | |

Posted: 9/14/2007 8:34:20 PM | I personally think the problem is most people are just too rude today.
I don't care if you have 100 messages. No thanks is better than nothing.
But as someone said. Not replying show what type of person they are
Not to mention that most women are appearing to be straight out ****es.
They would be the 1st to complain when it happens to them!
Its a bit like the women saying where are all the nice guys? or I just want to meet a nice guy!
They don't actually want a nice guy but everyone else is saying it so they don't want to miss out on being on the trend and then complain when they can't meet someone.
But I am getting off track here.
Personally I think most women aim for guys way above them when it comes to looks and use sex to get the guy they want.
Yeah I know! It's just my opinion but I am sticking to it.
Experience tells me I'm some what right. | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 1:07:56 PM | | I aways make an effort to respond to any messages I recieve, but I think a lot of people I talk to on here try to nip the conversations in the bud with closed-off answers. I mean all my responses are unique, the thing I dont change is the subject line. I really dont know where/why Im failing with the "I just want to talk" part. | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 1:29:32 PM | There are a lot of answers to this one... Theres a few times I have replied and conversed, theres a few that I've said "Thank you, but I'm not interested", and then have gotten either something nasty back from them, or they won't leave me alone. The latter is why I tend not to respond much anymore.
There are also a few, that I haven't yet responded to, due to time constraints, or I can even think of one that I intend to respond to, but am just not sure what to say.
I do agree though, with a blank profile, it does make it hard to respond, or think of things to talk about. If the sender and I do not have enough in common, I don't feel its appropriate to waste my time or theirs, trying to get to know someone who I have nothing in common with.
But the kicker for me, is the pictures. If they have a picture that I don't feel is appropriate, or if it sends the wrong message. For instance Risque pictures, or pictures with no shirt, or in inappropriate attire, then I will NOT respond to them at anytime!
Now, a "proper message"? If I receive something that has more than just "Wow", "Hi Hottie", or something of a sexual nature, then I tend more to be more apt to respond to the senders with a proper message!

Posted: 9/17/2007 6:23:38 PM | | I try to ALWAYS give a polite response. The problem with that is the men don't always go away, so I have to keep responding. It's like they think I'll change my mind. Maybe that's why some women don't answer at all. | |

Posted: 9/17/2007 6:58:29 PM | | I reply to all my emails that are similar to what you describe..if they've taken the time to write a nice email, they deserve a reply unless there's nothing to reply to, i.e., just "hi" or a sentence that requires no response, I probably won't reply. Also, if they've written an obvious canned email they send to who knows how many other women and it's the SECOND (or third) time they've written me and I've already politely replied with a "thanks, not interested, etc." to their first one, then I will most likely delete without a reply. | |
