How come I hear tell that people get abusive responses and such, who is doing this men or women? Of course, you always have the stuck up people who are better than you or I, but I also think that some people over react, like when you are at a club and ask a woman to dance and she says no thank you and you scream Lesbo at her? What gives with this, we all have our own insecurities and bashing people does not help.

PS- of course I have never had an abusive response given to me, I wonder why? Will some one abuse me please?
I have not had a abusive reponse for say...It is just that I send a message and you check the progress and it says they read it. And so I send another one and still no response but again they read it..(I guess this is progress so I send another nice invite...Thank you for your input...

HI waving

I used to reply to all emails -- if I wasn’t interested -- but after all of the abusive replies back to me, I decided it wasn’t worth saying a polite ‘thanks but no thanks’. sad2

It’s funny how defensive people get when they are rejected. I receive these polite, glowing emails; then, I reply ‘no thank you’ and all of a sudden I’m an ugly b**tch who is not good enough for them. Hmm, I was good enough before I said “no”. slaphead

I have gotten PLENTY of 'no thank you' emails but it never crossed my mind to send them back a nasty reply. I just wish them well and I move on.

Anyway, life is happier if I don’t reply because I can’t tell who is going to fly off the handle. I didn’t come here to get assaulted by email.

The gracious thing is to reply; however, a few bad apples spoil the process. :angel:

Hi Joy! flowerforyou

It's really sad that it happens. I know male members are not the only ones who do this to female members. Some of my guy friends have told me horror stories of female members who just go psycho on them! It's a people issue and not a gender issue.

Unstable people scare me! Hold me! scared :laughing:

((((Mel))) tighter? Yes I agree it is defintely not a gender issue.. It does make one hesitant to respond when you know you might get hate mail...

Goof will not email you unless he deems you worthy. If you do not respond, you will be dealt with accordingly. :tongue: laugh


Goof...how are you, my friend? Susan and I are in Florida this week...though heading to Atlanta for the Florida-'Bama game on Saturday...then back for a week. What say we get together in Daytona that week? Then we'll head to Overland Park, KS for until New Year's. And just so I'm not off topic...I reply to friends-only emails...women and men...people who seem to have their heads on straight!

Now this is an interesting area of exploration esp. in terms of communication. (well to me anyway) For example, Neil Strauss (8 years voted top pick-up artist) developed many routines that work but he is also a gifted writer and there is debate whether his routines worked because of this and his clear passion and skill at language? His work has become know as the indirect method, however many people are trying to master a more direct or natural method, and let their passions and energies come thru in there communications. Opinion?

Why is it that when you write a lady a message with honest intention she does not even respond?? From eveything I can see on my end it appears that they read the message and then decide to do nothing. Is it that they want you to persue them?? Or is it that they are so scared cause they are not sure who is on the other end?? And of course yes there are some that are nice enough to answer back...but very few...I am interested to hear other guys experiences with this site and others and well as a womens point of view...Have fun with this one all...:smile:
With MOST,,,,,honestly,,,,,its what you look like in your pics,,,,or your age to theirs, or habits, or locations, or They
don't give a damn about who writes them ever,,,,they might not even read your email for aweek or two,,,or never,,,
But lets face-it,,,,,whats the FIRST thing YOU DO,,,if you get an email from a lady?
You read it,,,,right,,,,then,,,other you respond then look at her pic and age,,,,or you do THAT before you respond to it...

SO DO THEY!

So,,,,your pic's can make a big difference to many here as they
think hurried and shallow,,,like most of the guys do here,,,lol,lol,l0l

But there are MANY reasons,,,,,,drinker Good luck...




Ahhh bingo! really thats true, we all do the same thing.I don't reply to all, and it's not based on pic, more on content of their profile.

Its because there are a million of you guys out there with the same line (or maybe sincere) but its nothing new and fresh....Ya have to come up with something clever to stand out....DONT ASK FOR MORE PICS OR CAM right away,be funny, and clever!

Sometimes I'm too busy to get back at them that moment, most of the time I don't want to open any lines of possible future communication with someone I have absolutely no interest in...did that, then I was "married" or something or another...dunno, just started deleting the emails...
