History Lessons

January 27 2011

As many of you are aware I moved to Sydney from the Gold Coast last October. What amazes me from the move is the number of profiles I have had messaging me and 'introducing' themselves to me for the first time. These people are ones that I had already had had contact with but for some reason or other the contact stopped a few months before. These profiles arent just ones from Qld but NSW as well. I think my most memorable one has to be the guy whom I had already met in person..he has a new profile now so there is no history of communication but still sent me an introduction message saying he was new to RHP and I know my handle hasnt changed. My question to you all is this - does anyone else look at the history when responding to flirts and/or messages to see if contact had been established before?? And why dont people when sending a flirt and/or message check the history of the profile they are trying to contact to see what kind of response may have been received previously?? Wouldnt this quick check save a bit of time and wasted effort?? Kisses Focus

    I always check the history before replying to an email.That way I know whether I should be naughty or nice - or just a plain old bitch. xxMeeka

    I too always check the history.. I had one guy that sent me the same message 3 times..pmsl..even after the 2nd same message I pointed this out.. but the ning nong did it again a few months later. So I got bored n blocked him. I have sent guys the first flirt and no reply.. months later they flirt me.. errmmm.. naaaaa pass dude! To all the ning nongs...please check your message history please. deeerrrrrrrrrr... huggies sweetpetite41xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I always check, as I have an informal policy of only sending two or three unanswered messages to prevent looking like a stalker. I suspect that men pay more attention to the history than women might, for just that reason. I could be wrong though...

    Yep, same thing here. . Up until last week, I was always nice. I'm done with nice. It doesn't work.

    I often look at the history... but it's a bit annoying when the messages are missing. Why does that happen? All that flirting and contact details gone. It's like losing your little black book!HugsStalky

    So I can make sure I have not replied to a message or a flirt nicely and then send a thanks but no thanks message. I think some of the guys that message or send a flirt need to read this topic and then they would not feel so rejected getting the same message again and again.

    I often check history :-) because as much as each person is special to you, until you meet them its sometimes hard to keep them straight :( I dont know how you girls do it with your trillions of suitors!! I find it hard when we swap over to hotmail too. Unless I write the details of RHP handle & names in the Email section, I lose track of who is who...specially when we havnt chatted in a while.lol Mrs H xx They obviously dont read the forums then...Anyone who is on here regularly would never forget you Focus

    I always check the history and then answer approriately, in some cases suggesting that they may in future save themselves an email if they check the history first.

    Quoting 'stalky' I often look at the history... but it's a bit annoying when the messages are missing. Why does that happen? All that flirting and contact details gone. It's like losing your little black book!HugsStalky Hey Stalky! I had the same problem, but then realised that it was because I had deleted their messages. While it shows that there has been contact, it doesn't show the content of the message if it was deleted your end. Hope that helps! < Focus hun I know EXACTLY what you mean...I too am amazed at how guys don't read their history and like some of the other girls I get the same messages over and over and when I point this out...they either disappear for 2-3 more months only to get the same message or they say that I am so hot they wanted me to reconsider (pfttt)!! < Oh well, sure that nothing will change....Life goes on! xFunlovingx

    Thanks heaps guys...njice to know I am not alone there...lol . Meeka - you a bitch??? never!! But this i do understand have done the same thing a time or two... . Sweetpetite - those profiles amuse me too...I'm all for trying again if you havent received a reply (within reason) but persistence using the same message and not figuring things out...sheesh the 'ning nongs' (love that term BTW) need to learn occassionally - blocking is sometimes the only way . Snowshoe - I hate to say this but I do think you are wrong..cosidering the majjority of my repeat offenders are male I wonder whether many people on here are actually aware that this function is available...would save them some heartache as their rejection status mounts..may also help them write better messages - especially if they are continuously sending out the same message and always getting rejections - good to see though there are some men out there aware of things . Flirty - unleash the inner bitch (sometimes its all people will respond to)and if she doesnt owrk use that lovely block function . Stalky - when you delete THEN empty your trash can the message content is permanently deleted...I still delete from my main folders so I know where I am up to but dont clear out my trash can - learnt that lesson the hard way.... . Fionabee - I use it for the same reason also...but also to see if I have rejected this person before - its a good way to keep who is who straight in my head . HrsH - aww shucks babe thanks so much (I chose to take this as a compliment lol) and I would have thought the guy who met me in person last year wouldnt have forgotten me either (was not a pleasant meeting) but he sent me a message 'introducing' himself to me recently...lol.. I too have such a hard time remembering who is who that their RHP handles are attached to their email, show up next to their name on MSN (if we get that far) and if they are even luckier to get my phone number then its attached to their name there too...it can get so confusing somedays especially when you only often have their first name (especially in the phone when I have a million and one Michaels or dirivitive there of) . Irresponsibility - thanks for the tip babe...may just have to start suggesting that to serial messages who dont get a positive response from me...shame I cant do that to serial flirters . Funloving - didnt you know that we are fickle creatures and just because you rejected me for 'x' reason a few months ago doesnt mean you will now...ok so I (the message sender) havent change din anyway - including the message I ams ending you - but hey! I am a different person now...hahahahaha - why cant they all be as enlightened as Snowshoe and Stalky?? . It amazes me that people who have been on this site for a number of months still dont know how to utilise some of the more helpful features like the history...I know flirts are free but if people paid attention to the little things they could at least use their messages for a possibly more appreciative recipient and not waste them on yet another rejection from someone you have already contacted, especially if that contact has already said thanks but no thanks .

    Look, most, and i am not saying ALL, but most guys on these sites treat these sites as the BIGGEST meat/meet market on earth. Seriously, i have friends on this and similar sites who have been taken for a ride by bloke professing their love etc etc.This is a numbers game for these guys. Who could be stuffed researching "History" when there are soooooo many women to try and woo! .

    And not unlike Snowshoe...will generally stop at 1 or maybe 2 if they go unanswered. Subtle hint I guess or more of an "oh well, who cares" attitude, albeit I have had notes back saying "I am enjoying reading your messages and hope to talk soon" which I guess is relative. Oh well... | What does really irritate me though at times...is when someone may have multiple profiles and takes great delight in sending back a note saying who their alter ego is and the message looks like the same one, so don't contact me again? Okay, so for a while I did use a template that I would modify a bit as an intro or first note to be more personal (don't do that any more) but damn...why the multiple profiles? | Oh well...who cares.

Also in my case I also have a serial couple that is quickly getting onto the block list...so its not just guys (or maybe it is and its just the husband - I choose to believe the best of a profile i.e. not a fake of some kind until proven otherwise) .

Kisses Focus I don't think most of these guys would wonder why they are getting blocked- Not an issue Meeka!It is just a numbers game, purely mathematical, the more messages you get out there- the more chances at success. We get it too, even after responding to some guys, and saying thanks but not in this lifetime- They immediately respond with- you guessed it, another intro message!. I don't think they even bother to read if it was a response to one of their own messages!Anyway, can't talk, gotta send out 2000 messages to people i messaged yesterday!

    I always check too so as to not repeat something I've already sent. As well as not wanting to appear as just another illiterate idiot. Lol .

I suspect that men pay more attention to the history than women might, for just that reason. I could be wrong though... .I'm with you on that as well Snowshoe. Having been a serial flirter in my first month or two on RHP (now since reformed and I confessed all in another thread I started), it's good to be able to see who I annoyed in those early days so that I can refrain from sending them another message. . Knowing what's been sent and responded to (and to whom) makes for better communication. Doesn't it? . . Cheers Rusty
