| Someone messages you and you don't find them attractive...what do you do?
Posted: 2/26/2007 2:02:25 PM | I reply to all my mails, and I'm lucky enough to get some. Most of them are from people that post or lurk on the forums, with the odd other message tossed in.
And I'm here for friends, so it's really not an issue for me if people aren't my cuppa tea.
Am glad I'm not a lady here as I know how many messages people get from girlfriends of mine... If I had the volume then perhaps things would change... or more likely create a generic cut and paste response like "Hi, thanks for your mail, but I'm currently seeing someone and want to give them my full attention. Good luck etc etc"
Why? Cos I'm soft. And probably because I don't really understand how many 100 mails some of you get :P | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 2:06:45 PM | | Personally I like to answer all messages if I can. If I not fancy the guy whos mail me then I tell then that I am honest with all and that they are really not my type but happy to befriend them if nothing else... that normally does the trick lol but on a serious note you can make some good friends even if you not attracted to the person. As long as on some kinda same wave length then not really too much of a problem with the friendship side of it. | |

Do you ignore them?......................
mDepends on what they messaged me, if it was a message i found offensive or a one word message then yes i ignore them.
Tell them your not interested?...............
I have never done that, no.
Lie, and say you have met someone and your giving it a go?...............
lol Guilty!
Throw yourself under a speeding train?....................
Wouldn't be here now!
Send them a photo of your ageing aunt and tell them thats the real you?..........
 I may consider it!
Say your an escort and it cost them 300 quid to spend an hour in your company (not including the vast amounts of wine you will consume)
NO WAY!! I woulkd never consider lowering my price below £5oo, but like the shampoo advertisement "i'm worth it" 
How do you say....thanks, but no thanks?
As polietly and kindly as possible! | |

Posted: 3/28/2007 10:56:51 AM | As long as they have made the effort to send me a decent message (that doesn't include - 'Hi Hun, wanna chat - here's my msn ....), I will make the effort to reply.
I don't tend to tell them I don' t find them attractive, but if they then ask for a date, I would say that I don't think we would be suited. | |

Posted: 3/28/2007 11:41:19 AM | I think it all depends on what you are looking for... If it is friends then it doesnt matter how unattractive you find the person really. As long as you are clear that it is for friends only then so be it.
If you are looking for romance though, the initial attraction is surely important? I dont answer hardly any mails on here apart from the ones from my forum mates (well so called mates apparently according to someone )
If the person is dashingly attractive or has something quirky and appealing about them then i do reply...

Posted: 3/28/2007 12:43:42 PM | i have finally decided that my best stock reply will be "hi , thanks for youre message, pity youre so far away" wishing you well in youre search.
this will work for 2 reasons
1: everyone is far away from where i live
2: im ugly myself so they will then realise they messaged the wrong guy. | |

Posted: 3/29/2007 11:08:51 AM | | Does it really matter if they are... errr... less than attractive? As long as they can grab your attention or even make you smile, then they are worthy of being a friend at least? Even if they do have the kind of face only their mother could love... everyone has a quality of one kind, or another. If your ONLY looking for love, then reply thanking them for messaging. Do NOT make a question, so as not to open a conversation. Ignore any consecutive messages. Sorted. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 6:44:23 AM | well i reply wether im attracted or not anyways, to be fair just cos someone is attractive dont mean i would click with them other ways, i just take it as it comes and see what happens...funny old world is plenty of fish!! lol but if they we're obviously askin if i thought they was attractive for me to be interested i always tell them the truth, the same as i would expect they would do me, either way they normally end up bein my internet buddies regardless | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 7:23:31 AM | | I think for me, it depends on my mood and if I can be bothered also It depends on the content of the message and their profile. I rarely make the first move and send out a message to someone so it's always nice to receive a message unexpectedly but some are just not worth replying to. | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 8:02:19 AM | I always reply to messages because i think it is ignorant if you don`t and if they warrant a response.. by that I mean if the other person has taken some time and effort to be original and type more than Hi or Hellooooo.
Usually i will check out their profile before I reply and then if i don`t like the look or sound of them I usually just tell them straight either by saying sorry you live too far away or your not my type.. best to be straight and honest with people I find.
What gets me is when someone looks at your profile and then adds you to their favourites and then does nothing what`s all that about !! | |
