.... So far, I only have one: if someone takes the time to send you an email, but you're not interested, please make the time to send a response to that person.

What's yours ?

i personally HATE being called cute, hot, "smokin" ... that's all ridiculous to me. i like being called beautiful or something of that nature.

how do you feel ladies?

and guys, can you explain the difference between all these different adjectives from the MALE point of view, and why some are never used?


cute, sexy, gorgeous, hot, smokin, pretty, beautiful... etc
... Good question. I've only known one truly beautiful woman in my life, but it was her lovely heart that made her outer appearance just that much more beautiful. Personally, beautiful isn't a word I think I'll use again, and definitely not lightly if I do use it; To me, a girl that's hot isn't necessarily even pretty, but there's definitely something super sexy about them; pretty ~ lots of pretty girls out there, but it's a shame when the personality doesn't match; sexy ~ this is not the same as hot to me; a girl can be sexy, but one that's hot appeals to me personally; georgeous ~ never seen one yet; cute ~ endearing, lots of girls are cute. Maybe I'm odd in this way, but with very attractive women I rarely compliment them on their beauty ~ they heard this stuff a thousand times from a thousand guys, so I think it holds little value. If I see something else about them that I like, I'll compliment them on that instead.

smile2 How strong are your instincts when it comes to relationships?smile2

smile2 Do you trust them?smile2

smile2 How often are they right?smile2
... my skills of intuition with people, specifically the woman I'm with, are usually pretty close to dead-on. What seems to have happenned, at least in one instance, is that my heart was so overtaken with this one girl that I threw my intuition out the window ~ that brought me nothing but heartache. I am reminded of a quote from Blaise Pascal which I've found to be quite profound: "The heart has it's reasons, which reason knows nothing of". How true ...

I feel like my life is good
I'm happy for the most part
No one can be 100% happy all the time right?

I was just confronted (and not for the first time) from another member here that told me I seem as though I'm sad.
I've heard this before when others look at my photography or read my writings.

Is it possible that I don't see my true self?
... Sure, that is possible, but I don't think that's the case here; that person who thinks that about you just doesn't 'get' you, they are seeing merely the words you've written without the meaning between the lines. You're a multi-layered person with a deeper soul than most, so for example, when those same persons look at your pics, they're simply not realizing that there's a difference between looking contemplative vs sorrowful. You're fine just as you are, so pay no mind to them ~

how many of you have dated someone just because you were "bored" ... or lonely.

i just recently found out that a guy i dated a good while back only dated me because nobody better was interested in him and he didn't want to be single. i find this cruel.

i'm just curious how many people have actually done something close to this situation?
I've never had that experience, but I would just take the incident with that fellow as evidence that 1: you deserve better and 2: he is a complete idiot.

what do u think? are you expecting that a woman would come to talk to you 1st. I don't like that idea still, I feel like I m still a little bit old fashion.
Are you referring to here on Mingle ?

as sad as it is, i guess i've become jaded by all the crap that i've read in my private email in the past.

sure, i shouldn't judge anyone new by what's been done, but it does slant your view, and it does make you wary, and it most certainly makes you selective.

however much a snob it makes me seem, i don't reply to any email that:

- consists of one or two words (e.g. 'wassup', 'hi there' 'ur sexy')

- consists of anything that doesn't remotely sound like english and takes me more than a few minutes to decipher

- consists of anything that tells me my profile has not been read (e.g. hey do you like younger guys? well if you read my profile, you'd see that i'm not here for dating, and don't want ANY guy, young or old)

- consists of anything sexual

- consists of anything that sounds like a guy completing an application for a wife

- is rude, degrading, derogatory and/or spiteful or those who assume they know me, who i am, what i think and feel.

~~~~
i used to reply to any email i received as i felt it was polite to do so. unfortunately, there was so much that turned me off, i've decided to make friends only via forum participation and that way i have an insight into the type of character they are. i won't chat up any man in private email any longer.

if the email sounds remotely sincere, i still do reply, indicating as i did above (but much nicer bigsmile )


Ahhh ... exactly what I wanted, an intelligent response from an intelligent woman. Thank you ~ you made this site make much more sense to me.

First ~ it's not a question of being impatient - I see ignoring someone's interest completely as dismissive and rude, not to mention the fact that I'm not in a hurry, I'm just trying to figure out the 'norm'. That seems to be it.


That IS it, exactly. I don't even bother sending out first e-mails anymore. Of course, I've been here 2 years and get plenty of people writing to me now, so it's not a problem. But it took awhile, and a certain amount of forum time, to build up a reputation.

And I still won't write to anybody first.


Second ~ I'm a pretty articulate guy, I use my own words to approach, I've been around, and form emails seem childish.


Not to mention formulaic. I think (I hope, anyway) most people can spot a "form" from a mile away.


Third ~ I'm not whining. The headline of the post is Mingle mysteries and peeves; as I said earlier I've never had people do that to me, so wanted to see other people's input.
** Thanks for your input, I qualified your answer because you obviously gathered the wrong impression about where I was coming from. Have a great day ...


I think you may be catching some flak because this issue has come up many many times before. The fact is, if you haven't been treated this way before, it's only natural to wonder about the reasoning behind it.

The "don't-reply-to-email" thing is endemic to this site (in my experience, and those of many others who have posted about it -- I'm not saying it's a universal truth, just that it does appear prevalent beyond what I've seen as the "norm" on other sites) -- I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done to change that.




You know what ? THANK YOU. I really appreciate the input, it helps me get a clearer idea of how this site works ...

Wondering who is whining here, the one not getting answers to his emails or the ones complaining that he is whining.

My answer to your poll YEA to everyone here (that includes me)


Yes, I am also guilty of whining. My only excuse is that I get soooooooooooo tired of these threads.

... There's a difference between inquiring about something and inquiring; who better to ASK about behavior I was unaccustomed with than the people who have been here longer than I ?
This has devolved into a pointless banter

OK, this was a wasted effort. Bump to the next topic.


Sorry you feel that way. It's just that this topic has been asked so many times, it get's kind of old.

If it bothers you that much that the people you email don't reply, then send them another one and tell them how you feel. Maybe then you will get a response and maybe even a reason as to why they didn't reply to the first one.
Good thoughts, thank you.

... My mystery here is this: Why is it that about 1% of the women I've sent emails sent to them with 'Hi There's', or 'I like what I read in your profile' even respond ? If you're not interested, ok that's fine, but how about a simple, courteous "Sorry, not interested but thanks" in reply ? In 'real life', I never get that sort of response ... is it because they get approached SO OFTEN by so many men that they just figure, 'yup, just another email from a male'. I don't know. Just seems rude.

Anything on here mystify you ?

haha, if someone wrote to me with either of those lines, i'd know that they didn't bother TO read my profile.

so why would i bother to reply?
Guess that explains why people that have read your profile don't email you.

laugh Put your seat belt on dudelaugh


First, you've been here for a week. Have a little patience.

Second, did you ask about stuff specific to her profile? Or did you just send out a "form" letter telling her you like her photos and profile? Try humor. Be creative.

Third, Don't whine about it. Most women do not find whining attractive.



1 - patience I have, understanding how people interract on this I didn't.
2 - Of course a smart response was done.
3 - Nobody's whining, I just didn't know. Thanks for the input on what women don't find attractive though, very informative.
