1. Shirtless bathroom selfie.
2. No photo.

(That actually covers about 70% of you)

3. You're under 28 years old.
4. You want kids.
5. You can't put together a coherent sentence.
6. You ask to call/skype me on your first email.
7. You ask to live with me/marry me on the first email.
8. You try to start a conversation with the words "hey sexy." (Bonus: you use the word "beautiful", but misspell it).
9. You send four identical messages in the span of 5 hours.

FINALLY,
10. You email, we chat, and I stop responding because all the douchebags guilty of 1-9 pushed you most recent email back 3 pages.

Also, I'm busy and forgetful... so that's a factor.

Add your own- why would you not respond?

You"hey gojus/hey babe" me as an opening line!!!

Eish
And with no ref to my profile!!!! Soon I'll upload pics,then,all attention will shift to pics!!

Oh,btw,seems,bathroom selfie is a must have,shirts off!!!!

"Welcome to online dating."

I always respond, even if I'm not interested, just as a courtesy.

That's really super nice of you. I don't have the time for that... and if all they say is "hey sexy," or proposition me, quite frankly, they don't deserve the courtesy.

any who were vulgar or rude

first messages that request pers info like an email or phone OR those who provide that stuff unsolicited

I often do not respond to kids...18 19 20...unless we are friends from the boards

In fact, I often only respond to friends from the boards..and occasionally a few others

Damn, note to self...

I really have to give the real ladies in here a thumbs up... I have an idea what "them guys" think is fun ( no life ).from what I see in the forum....... No respect from them... When I see that I won't stand for their disrespect so I get my fun from them....

If you're not local and too young and I don't know you from the forums, I will ignore, unless you seem like a scammer, then I will trick you into telling on yourself and report and block.

I only respond to friends because..........I'm not looking and I already donate to my favorite charities....

I respond to most if not all. Course I don't get very many messages....guess the scammers can even tell that I'm too broke to try and scam....

Even I,all the way in Ug,gets scammers..... So,don't count your chickens yet . Soon,they'll show up....te he heee

Women generally are not rude and do form actual sentences when they make first contact, which is why they get a response.

Me, too. I only respond to friends. Sometimes I feel bad for not returning messages....but then I get over it.

Feeling bad is the chit that gets us into trouble...

I ignore emails if they are not from males who fit the specs. I put in my profile (and that is every one received from last month going on today).

In my case not responding is simply keeping in line with the guidelines in my profile. If I did respond it would only be to reiterate what they should have already seen: our profiles have nothing in common. I think that would sound very mean if a man received it as a response to their first message (although it's only intended as a simple statement of fact), so ignoring the message avoids the potential hurt feelings altogether. I know I never want to know why I'm being rejected, why should they?

There is NO time for regrets....hehe

let's just cut through the 1-9 stuff and just hook up

I check the profile and logout..

i can't understand them???!!..

Under 40 I immediately report!

Gives me a phone # or e-mail address I immediately report!

I have tried to answer all who asked questions about Alaska, as I know there are not many from there on here, and I have been playing there over 10 years now.

Answer anyone who asks about one of my photos as for some crazy reason we are not allowed to put captions on them....WTF At least mine are date stamped!


PS: I would answer a real question question from someone under 40, just know that the scammers are mainly there that work on us "old" guys!
