How do you " hide " your profile without deactivating? Excuse me. I stand corrected. I guess I'm use to POF and others. They allow you to hide your profile without deactivation of it. I've hidden my profile several times on POF & OKC. I just took it for granted you could here to.

No problem  I was just wondering if it was a feature on here that I missed. As far as I know you can't hide your profile ,but I may be wrong.

I dont answer because I dont wish to,,basically.
either because there is no question for me to answer, or because the original email is not something that attracts my interest in responding,,,, most often because the sender has so obviously not read my profile or my interests,,,,, |

I will not answer messages from someone who clearly puts no effort. Emails that only say "hi" or "how are you". I will not answer a email that says "your beautiful, I just had to tell you" ..so as you see, it is a goofy trend that I will not waste my time on.
I will not answer emails that I do not understand either. I will not answer a bunch of nudges either. |

Oh dear. Hope it didn't look like i was bragging. I just meant that it can get a bit tedious for me. This is why i'd never make a good receptionist. 
You were telling you get emails in the thousands from men, yet you don't want us to think you're bragging? 
Well not in their thousands. It's not like i'm a major celebrity. . About ten a day, more like.
I LIKE THAT !! Honesty goes a long way with me ... Buonissimo |

I get TONS of emails from men in their thousands. You try answering them and trying to keep up with a guy you're trying to have an email conversation with. Sooner or later, one of em will have to go looking elsewhere. I can't have three conversations at once. If i grab you're attention that you want me that badly, then please have patience. Otherwise it's bye bye from me. 
Seriously though, How many do you get that are really worth your time? Do you get more "pervert" messages than you do good messages? |

If someone takes the time to message me then I will take the time to reply...... But you will get back what you put into it, I find it very easy to figure out how genuine a person is by their response . That's pretty much how I work as well. If I get a "hi" they will get a "hi" in return. If I get a well thought out message, I'll take the time to respond. Well, I've noticed that those who just send emails that say "hi" and that's it tend not to have much in their profile. So sending them a long message isn't going to work well when there is nothing to go on. I'm not quite sure how responding would be pessimistic, though. I'm giving them a chance to start a conversation. Not responding could be considered pessimistic, I guess. |

OK, Don't take this the wong way. I'm not picking on you. This is people in general. If you are talking to someone and you like that person, Why not hide your profile while you're dealing with this person? I mean, It just seems like common sense to me. That way you will not be getting tons of messages you can't answer or don't want to answer. That way guys in general will leave you alone. If it turns out that X guy is a prick,Un-hide your profile and keep going. It's what I do. That way for me, No woman ever feels ignored by me. I'm not having to make up excuses either. Which I know some people do. You have to keep in mind that many people here use the forums whether they're dating someone or not. If someone was just talking to/emailing me and told me to hide my profile, that would come off as a bit controlling. Especially if we have not met and are just at the getting to know each other phase. |

I don't answer ones from men out of my age range, and those are all I get. I really don't understand why a young guy in his 20's would e-mail me when I'm clearly old enough to be his grandmother, and especially when they're on a different continent. Even if they "just want to be friends." I mean, get real. I get a lot out of my age range as well. Those are also the people who have told me they liked my profile. When I asked if they read the part about the age, they tell me "baby, age is just a number!" 
simple fix your age category that you want your response from and then you won't get them, out of your age bracket lolll but age is just a number that is true :)when i was 23 i dated a 43year old lady that looked like 25 :) when i was 19 i dated a 31 year old lady that worked for Victoria Secret :) to me it depends on the 2 involved age hardly means that much as long as they are legal to think age matters so much thats negative thinking :)cheers
No, I'm not going to set filters, as I chat with all kinds of people from the forums. Many don't fit the specific age range I prefer for dating. |

Well, I do read profiles of those who contact me. |

I've already said earlier that I answer most emails. The age range, as you can see from my profile, is a dating preference. |

I've been lucky that most women answer my emails. I try to make them interesting and not ask about what the profile already says.
I answer all my emails, even if it is to tell them I am not interested. Because if you read my profile it states I am not. (Also states I am heterosexual only and I still get emails from males...go figure). Like sings, I set no filters so anyone who wants to can contact me. |

Whats a......Message?????????????
Perhaps i'll send one in a bottle to you, i'm sure i can come up with something prophetic after i've drunk it's contents
Back on topic....I would think a polite way of saying "no thank you" seems to be an easy enough reply to an email...wouldn't you? So i can't understand why they need to continue.

Americans often have a very hard time saying "no thank you" to a fault. Americans think it is a slam of some type to say it or recieve it. |
