i hear ya lily...like i said, i have too much on my plate right now ya know?


Oh I know it, in my profile it states in the last line or so, any emails with a "hey baby" feel to it will either be ignored or I will make you cry.

ONe guy sent me one that said "Your pictures are hot"

My reply was "Oh how I needed those words today, I am so under appreciated when it comes to my looks, all guys want from me is to get to know me, and know my inner person, thank you so much for coming out into the open for me to truly understand the workings of a good man, and know that my personality, my intelligence, my compassion and passion in life isn't all that I have to offer"

he replied "what's your problem b*tch?"


and this is why i love you lily! guys..she's mine lmao

Why do you keep putting this guy down? If it was multiple replies, I could see where there might be a problem. It was just one reply afterwards. At least he wasn't so passive as to give up right away.
Isn't that what some of you want, Someone that doesn't duck their head and run at the first sign of distress?
I was just one harmless reply, nothing to get worked up about!

So you've got a lot on your plate right now, don't need anyone to distract you...and you're spending your morning on a personals web site.

Do you understand that he was telling her how she should act? How he expected from her behavior that suited his wants and needs, and clearly dismissed anything she said to him?

i like a lot of people am selective. i will always respond to emails no matter how hard it is. it is hard sometimes to just say flake-off in a nice way. ( i have got many that very same way ) on ocassion i have received the very nicest brush-off and will sometimes reply with a hearty thank you for your niceness. but no still meanss no, so get over it and move on.

this guy just emailed me, very apparant that he's interested..

i was nice, i told him thanx, but that im not interested..

some of you know already, i've got a TON on my plate right now already..i need no one to deter or distract me right now..

he emails back, and wonders if im 'just being nice' and 'age is just a number' and 'must respect the older ones'
I respond to all of mine water




WTF??? was i not clear enough??


was it necessary for him to have emailed back?



So you are the one in a thousand that returns a first contact e-mail... This proves the cliche, "no good deed goes unpunished."

WTF????

And what does that have to do with the fact that this "man" was rude to her in spite of her effort to be polite?

flowerforyou No problem beautifulflowerforyou

that particular post brings to mind another cliche that I've used here once or twice.

"Better to not say anything and have people think you a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Well, I'm not taking sides here, but how do you call that rude or disrespectful? Maybe it was just a little sense of humor coming out. If those are the exact words that he wrote, that she posted, I just don't see how it's offensive. He wasn't telling her what to do or how to act, he just made a silly comment.

It is very simple Thomas. He wrote. She was polite enough to write back and say no thanks not interested. Which part of no do you think he did not understand? The "N?" Or the "O?"

Not to speak for the OP but I will...I don't think she thought it totally offensive, but kinda like WTF, did you hear me?

I was at a bar one night by myself waiting on some people for a show, and this guy came up and offered to buy me a drink. I said "no thank you I'm on tonight and I don't drink when I play" he sat down next to me and struck up conversation I said "No offense, but I'm on tonight, and I am clearing my head" he continued to talk I said to him "Look around there are a ton of beautiful women here would would love your attention, thank you for your attention, but I'm just not in the place for this kind of conversation right now" he said to me "What's your problem"

Maybe there are not enough strong women who say what they mean in the world and we can blame all of society's woos on this, but when someone is polite but dismisses you.... Take the hint and be dismissed.

thank you lily..you understood completely right..

i didn't find the guy rude, i did however wonder why he implied i wasn't being nice, when i replied with, 'thank you, but not interested' when i could very well have not replied at all..and then we'd all have to deal with another 'why do men/women not even reply to emails' thread

not interested, actually means, not interested, in girl talk or guy talk...take it for what it IS, not interested

Ok,Ok. Perhaps he was trying to save face and felt like a fool for emailing a woman that wasn't interested. Even embarrassed perhaps. At least it was only one email and not a thousand.

In Lily's case, the guy approached her three times and three times she declined. This guy only approached you twice and only one of those times was to induce conversation.

What constitutes right or wrong here. A guy replies back to you when you didn't think he should have. Let's just say it was for the sole purpose of getting the last word in. Perhaps you do know where this guy is coming from? I mean a thread was started, to basically make yourself feel better or something. To justify how you felt about the whole thing or something. In the mean time, that guy got slammed the whole way for no real good reason.

Why does anyone need to be told no twice? Shouldn't once be sufficient?
