Personally, I like to reply to a message regardless of a positive or negative response.

It all comes down to being courteous and it takes just a couple of minutes or less to get your point across. Not replying at all shows disrespect, afterall, that person spent the time to email you.

If I am hounded after the initial negative reply, I will not reply again, I just block them.

Agree with Fishyfriend, some do not reply at all, some start a convo and then stop without warning, it happens and probably happens on both sides of the fence so encouraging to see so many saying they would reply. Mum always said "manners takes no time" .... but then again she also said that "eating your crusts would make your hair go curly"

This had only happened to me two or three times...I have responded politely even though it may just be a prankster (sounded legit though, damn they are getting better aren't they?). Am from the old school ...one on-line-date man.....

I only received mail/messages after I committed myself already. When I was single no-one gave a flying fig.....

Of course...it is the most considerate way to show you are a compassionate human being.... but if you are blocked after some unknown reason, what can you do, but wish them the best in your heart.

Jenn...
I am clueless as to what happened.... I wish you much joy and memories on your trip. Auf Wiederzane. .......Wish I could reply, to ask.

I don't think you can really tell if there is no attraction just by looking at a photo or reading an e-mail, being a... b*#ch.. or.. a pr*#k.. doesn't come out .
I nearly always reply,there are a couple I haven't replied to but they are in the minority
What is frustrating though is that I can go out and meet someone and have no trouble getting a phone no. and I do say don't give it to me if you wouldn't like to go out and spend time together. I like to meet people face to face,you pick up a lot more that way.Still some women get pages and pages of mail so how do you sort through that.

No I don't reply to them as it gives them a sense of false hope and then you have to let them down gently which can be awkward.

I replied to one of the russian wannabe brides.... here's the response

Hello dear ###! I am very glad, that you have answered my message and have not disregarded me. Please excuse me for long answer.
I want to inform you that I never got acquainted with the man through the Internet earlier. My girlfriend Ekaterina has advised me it and I have decided to try, especially our house have connected the cable Internet.
I hope for continuation of our relations. I very much want to find out you better because I think that you are interesting person.
I shall be fair with you and I want that you were fair with me too. I want that you have considered my letter with all gravity as I have serious intentions, and I want that our relations developed to the best!
I think that we are searching for the same qualities in a partner. I want to fall in love, to be in love, and I want the man in my life to be in love with me as much as I am with him.
I want the happy family, I want the compassion, the honesty, and the undying love that we would share together.
Ok dear, I want tell you about myself. My name is Olesya. I was born and live in Russia in city Electrostal. I was born in this city and all my life proceeded here.
I am 30 years old, my birthday July, 28. I think that the difference in the age of has no value if people like each other it is 58 km from Moscow.
My religion the Christian. My growth of 170 sm and my weight of 54 kg. I do not smoke, and almost do not drink alcohol, never used drugs.
I live one in the rented apartment, my parents live in village in 70 km from me, I have a younger sister, but it to marry and has left to live with the husband in Sochi I work as the seller in shop of female clothes.
I was married, but children at me are not present, 4 years ago has divorced and very much to it is glad Together we have lived 3 years, all over again all was good, but then I have found my husband with my girlfriend in bed.
As it has then appeared it constantly to me changed even before wedding.
I suffered, as thought, that I have found happiness, but it has appeared a mistake, but now I in search of my satellite and hope now to not be mistaken I'll give this person all my love and tenderness. So I want to have a whole family, my husband I can trust in everything and he also can trust me.
A very important to have a the Person we can trust. You agree with me?
I have really many interests: music, reading, books, movies, good conversations, sports and many other things which make the life wonderful.
I am creative and curious by nature. I am very cheerful, kind, vigorous and in a measure modest.
I easily find common language with strangers and simply I like to communicate on interesting themes!
###, probably it is interesting to you, why I was solved on searches of the partner by abroad? Probably I shall answer rudely, but I do not want to live in this smelly and poor country In Russia is not any prospect, there is no normally paid work, there are no worthy men, there is not future.
Therefore I do not want to live my years in this country.
I think that now I shall finish the letter and I shall wait your answer. I sincerely hope, that you will answer this letter. I send you some my photos and I shall wait your new photos too.
I really want to continue our acquaintance. I just wish we were a lot closer to each other. Kisses for you! Your Olesya

Now you just have to wait for the next letter to arrive either wanting to chat on yahoo or asking for the money so she can buy a ticket to come to be with you and be "wedded to you forever"

A friend of mine actually replied to one to see what the outcome would be.. she was in love with him after chatting for about an hour He kept it up for a while then said he'd found someone closer to home and he would have to end it now but would like to still be friends. He's still waiting for her answer.

Don't think he'll get one....

Hehe, yeah I won't be replying - was curious more than anything.

I do have a mate who has a russian bride. He went to meet her twice! And then she came to Aus and they got married. He isn't a good looking lad but is a nice guy, and she is a stunner, 10 years younger, and they have been happily together for close to 10 years.

But no, it's not for me...

I don't think you can really tell if there is no attraction just by looking at a photo or reading an e-mail, being a... b*#ch.. or.. a pr*#k.. doesn't come out .


OH YES IT DOES! Lol, you can tell sometimes if there is NO attraction from an email. Really.... try these:
"heya sexc wana chat? " = no attraction
"reallylongrunonsentencewithsomanytyposthatitisdifficulttoreadandimnotsureatallwhatheistryingtosaybecauseicantbebothereddecipheringit" = no attraction
"yes i smoke but promise to bring toothbrush and toothpaste on our first date" = jesus you're desperate - no attraction

It's far more difficult to tell if there IS an attraction from an email.


I like to meet people face to face,you pick up a lot more that way.


True, so do I. But I need to email/chat for a while first. Safety issues. Also filtering. I find a lot of nut jobs don't reveal their true nature in the first contact or two, but after a couple of chats they relax and the true person emerges. See ya!

Oh yeah, and I do try to reply to most emails - but if they don't take the time to do more than a virtual grunt or whistle, why should I bother?

Gee canuck you get all of the good e-mails, I haven't been lucky enough to get anything as entertaining as that,only a couple from Russia where they still want to escape from (and the average lifespan of males is currently I think between 44 & 49 yrs),when I was on rsvp and a couple from China on this site,and I did not reply.

I was always taught that it's common courtesy to reply to messages. What does attraction have to do with it? If a person hasn't picked up from my profile that I don't seek out ppl for mutual sexual pleasure, then needs be I point out to them politely where they've gone wrong. Just so they can avoid future embarrassment.

Personally I think that if a person takes the time to email, then the receiver should take the time to respond. (unless it's one of those "so are you looking for fun times") types of emails.
If the person you are responding to get's agro, then they have shown you their true colours.....You won't ever meet them, so what's there to lose?
Honesty is the best policy, ignorance is rude.
