What are some of the factors you consider when replying to someone on here?
<------And is the number of post he or she have factor in any way? Date joined, ext. . . .

I pretty much try to rule out guys who wear clothing made of raw liver.

I reply to everyone

same here!

I answer all email that doesn't start out rude or sexual in nature.

Now i know why U never talk to me!!!!

It's me "Ancient chinese secret" man! I'll never tell.

I'd have to get mail to respond.
People just like to look at my pictures and be done with me.

Posts do not make a difference, it is how they approach me that makes a difference of how I deal with them.

It seems to me that I can pop in to a thread and saw hi and its like I have the pleag
I know people have there tight little groups on here. But I try not to be rude, hurtful, and plain old mean. I've even started what I thought could have been good topics to B/S over, only to see them go down in flames

I tend to respond to almost all messages, but appreciate letters, rather than chatty mails consisting of a sentence od two. (With potential dates, not my buddies in here)

If I get a quick message asking to chat, I say sure, I like to e-mail here, and point out I love letters.... so then I get back a stingy paragraph saying I want a novel.

So then ... um don't paragraphs make up pages, and chapters make up novels, and a letter is at least two paragraphs long? Seems like a fair description?

But responding in posts, that is another story. I am definitely just my opinionated self no matter what.

if the topic is interesting, or if someone gets controversial I like to throw in my 2 cents. I don't even open discussions about say, jello

Me too

But Jello is such a great ice breaker. Works better than discussing why they call weathermen "Meteorologists".

I know what you mean. Putting up a odd or strange photo was the only way my profile even got looked at

Ohh the headliner goes a long way. If it has Mr. or Mrs. Right or the word Prince.... I'm not reading it.

Other bad ones include some variety of nice guy looking for fun, fun guy wanting fun girl, nice girl wanted... blah blah...

Mine says "keeping an open mind" maybe I should try one of those cheesy lines to see if that works

I used to reply to everyone, but now that I have a committed interest, just keep in touch with friends and tell new mailers to join me in the forums if they are interested in befriending me.

has to have over 10,000 post,have a pic,be a scorpio,have a beach house,and a tan,oh and teeth preferable not yellow

Has to have a picture.
Can't be boring.

If all they're saying is
"Hey, what's up?"
I probably won't answer.

Also, if all they're saying is.
"Hey, do you have cam/let's exchange nudes/wanna cyber?"
I probably won't answer.
