Posted: 1/3/2005 2:16:05 PM | | Heck it is not so bad getting rejected by no response. Where it really goes bad is when you talk to a lady for a few hours and she is (from what you think) getting into it also and you manke plans to talk again. She never shows up and "Poof" she is gone and you never hear from her again. You think you have a good repore going and then she wont answer an IM, wont return an e-mail. Think how that makes a person feel. A simple I had a nice time talking last night, but I just dont think things will work out would be nice. | |

Posted: 1/6/2005 1:06:59 PM | When it comes to receiving mail I answer most of it....BUT...if I see a sentence that says...."WHAT UP?"....read delete...
or.......Hey Chica.......read delete
or.......No Pic...no info in profile......read delete
or .....my fav:.......looking for a WIFE from Algeria!!.....read delete!!
If you filled out your profile and have a pic....and speak English the chances are I probably will get back to you...
BUT I will say this...I have responded to some men and I say..."Thank you for sending me a message..but at present I'm interested in someone....but thanx and have fun in the pond."
I get Fu*k off Bitc*........etc.... I mean really....you can't win for losing.

Laught, block, delete, have a nice day... morons... it isn't any wonder that you can't even send someone a friendly note and have it responded to.
There was one on hear, single mom, cute kid, she was obviously having problems from her profile... I started the note off with "I know that I am outside your range for dating, but.." and went on to offer to take her and the little one to dinner or a movie sometime, just to have someone to talk to ... her profile said she was all alone and pretty miserable. In any case it touched me, and I thought I would simply put out the hand of friendship...
Surprised I got the elbow back... got past that, and she talked to me a bit... then just kind of faded out... oh well...but man was her reaction ugly...

Posted: 1/6/2005 2:39:11 PM | If the guy leaves a decent message, I will generally write back....if it gets to sexual too fast, delete/block....and as Angel said....all those too...
and as bad as this may sound, correct english helps...if I have no idea what the guy means, I won't write back .... | |

Posted: 1/6/2005 2:42:50 PM | | I would prefer a little note back that says "Hey, thanks for writing, but I'm not interested". It is the polite thing to do, but I've heard how much of a-holes guys can be when that happens so I can understand when I don't get a response. It's irritating however. | |

Posted: 1/6/2005 2:56:52 PM | Ive got a few messages out there that dont even get read.... and a few that werent
responded to. I think alot of people forget what they wrote in their profile: Love to chat/ open will chat with anyone/ looking for friends/ I am a open friendly person/ do I need to go on? When this is in your profile what does it say about you if you dont respond? | |

Posted: 1/6/2005 3:07:57 PM | | I think responding is common courtesy. I get a few e-mails from people I don't necessarily think I'd hit it off with. But, I respond and say that i'd be happy to chat with them, and at the very least I could always use a new friend. THAT usually ends all form of communication for some reason. I swear, I write a nice message back, keep it light, no sex talk of any kind, and *BOOM* the kiss of death. Oh well. I think I prefer no response, instead of: "Wow. You said the exact wrong things I ever wanted to hear." Maybe, if I actually said only the wrong things, they'd respond back. Although, I'm quite flattered by all the "super-model, Russian millionairess" messages I get. The one-line profile, with private e-mail addy so DOESN'T scream "scam." | |

I don't respond to guys that i'm interested in. I don't see a point... So let them get upset just block them and they will get the hint. That's what I do.
That's a big problem with women, guys DO NOT GET THE HINT. We need to be hit on the head, or in this case, told, "No Thanks". If we go to the trouble of writing something nice, at least give us the basic consideration of rejecting us.
If we write something crude and offensive, that makes sense to just delete witout responding.
For me, often I just do a short little note to see if there is any interest before spending a bunch of time writing a lot. In the past, I've written very nice long letters, being specific about what interested me and so on. Most of the time, I still got Nothing, no reply, Nothing. Why waste the time for nothing? | |

that is not your problem, it is the one who is getting upset that has the problem, Have you ever seen a spoiled child that doesn't get attention quickly enough? | |

Posted: 12/16/2005 9:22:51 AM | | this site is called plenty of fish. if you cast your line out and the bait is soggy, do you waste time crying about it? or do you load up your hook for another shot? | |

Posted: 12/16/2005 4:59:29 PM | I don't think it is "small stuff" to some of these guys. Put yourself in their position.. how would you feel if it were you?
********************************
I always try to think about that.Somebody took some time,even if it was a cut and pasted one liner used 100 times..One thing to remember too,is that there are folks who are new to the internet and new to internet dating.I know some people who it took a bit to convince them that dating on the internet was NOT something just for socially retarded losers who couldn't meet people in person.They still feel somehow inferior that they "stooped low enough" to put a profile on a dating site and when you ignore them,it may make them feel like a socially retarded loser.
I've had some women email me and I always tell them if I'm not interested,but I still like to leave the option open for just friendly conversation.I was on another site once and this woman emailed me,we didn't really hit it off for dating, but we ended up having fun trying to pick a suitable date for each other.I would email a guy's profile to her and she would email me back funny stories of what a loser the guy turned out to be.See what kind of fun you might miss dissing people? | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 2:24:18 PM | I reply to every mail I get
However, the low response rate to ones I start does not impress me. I would love it if every single one got a "thanks but no thanks" response, its far better than having it proved every day that for most people, manners are something they reserve for face-to-face encounters!
Girls, I'm sorry if some guys are rude/abusive/stalkerish if you reply, but please don't let that handful of scum colour your judgment of all of us. | |
