Yes ladies, why dont you respond?...granted you move on, but what does it take to say thanks but no thanks...1 minute? On another site I even drafted a rejection email and sent to a person that never responded saying "Hey next time you're not interested you can use this"....she responded then, let me have it with both barrels. oh well I got a reaction I guess


and now there are three. careful lilith thinks we are petty.

OP, I'm never mistaken for friendly. laugh

I'm honest. Or sarcastic.... or empathetic, or whatever.

But friendly? Nope. Not me. I'm a yankee and we yanks are not friendly folk.

I'm sorry, I understand you feel the need to insult me. With grammer criticisms, or whatever. But I'm not going to be insulted, no matter what you say. You are putting more effort into trying to get a rise out of me than in all your contact mails, it woud seem. Why? The the heck am I to you? I'm a NOBODY.

i love a good old verbal sparring but arent we just pushing the boat out a bit to far, are we milking this cow for all its worth

my apologies my jokes aren't my best attributes.

but come on lets leave it here, i think we have established whats the right and wrong thing to do, when youve been ignored by someone via the email world, so lets not contradict our self on here.


I think you're right. I just wrote that post to vent about another website... they don't have forums.

look all I'm saying is I should beable to write and a 1-2 line inital contact email and not be skipped over simply based on that. that's not me, my personality, my character. if she reads the profile and says to herself "just not for me" or "he looks like jim carey"(not that there is anything wrong with that). fine. what ever. but if I write 1-2 lines of hey check me out and get unread deleted simply based on lack of content with out even a cursory glance at my profile that's just messed up.

Actually I did read several of the posts, The initial complaint is sending emails and being ignored. The basic response is "It happens, stop whinning and get over it". Sorry but the fact that it happens often doesnt make it good behavior. Like I said it takes 1 minute to reply. The question is, why not slap a sentence together saying thanks but no thanks?...too much effort?...dont know what to say?? enjoy treating the email/sender as insignificant??

You can't force someone to respond. Simple as that. I respond to almost every email I get, but I know others aren't like that. You can't assume everyone will be the same.

Let's see your masterpiece Email that you sent out... I bet it is boring and does not stand out from her other emails that she is getting from the other 100 or 1000 guys.

BTW,
The Worst sites for dating is the "FREE" Dating sites. (Tons of cheap guys not willing to pay for "Pay" Dating Sites.)

The so-so sites for dating is the "Pay" Dating sites. (People looking for results willing to pay for it... because "Time" is an issue)

The Best sites for dating is "MySpace" or "FaceBook" type sites. (It is base on the sheer number of people on those sites.)


The strategy is like in real life.
What makes you stand out from the rest. Unlike real life, you can fake and lie about it online.

And if you are using the "I am a Nice Guy and I am interested in you" routine... wait in line... you're number 1001 in line.

I am not trying to force anyone to do anything. I fully accept the fact that people are not going to respond, thats fine. It doesnt change the fact that its bad behavior. I get cut-off in traffic...bad behavior yes, am I going to stop it from happening, of course not. However, I thought one of the purposes of forums is to exchange thoughts and ideas, thats all I am doing. Maybe I can learn something from the responses.

No... it is not bad behavior.
(I am just making general statements... not personal... and not meant to insult your feelings, either).

It is the new Medium and the nuances that goes along with it.


It is like a total stranger calling you on the phone.
It is like a Telemarketer calling you on the phone.

Just because you called doesn't mean I have to answer or that you are a nice person.

Flyace, is upset due to the lack of response to his "well-crafted" email... but little does he know, she is getting tons of email saying the same thing on the same subject from her bio's.

No offense taken...you could be absolutely right. I dont know about anybody else here, but what I look for is different perspectives. I appreciate your point of view.

Maybe I'm weird, but I never used myspace or facebook to meet new people. Only to keep in touch with those I already knew. I never add random people I don't know.

sometimes what is sent in that initial contact e-mail raises a red flag..that says warning...avoid this one.....

with some people sending a sorry but no thanks..gets read as "yes you caught my attention..blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" and they continue to message you anyway

so if you never respond at all...they are more likely to just leave you alone....
