Ok fella's, join me on the war against "non reply"!

April 02 2017

There's little point asking why so many of us notice that we often send messages, only to receive no replies.I figure that rather than asking yet again why this might be, we all work together to try and do something about it. As of today, I'm including the following notation at the bottom of my profile and hope that many others do too.After all, the only people that benefit from non responses are the directors at RHP. After all, the larger the number of messages sent daily, the larger the revenue generated by memberships. Heres my notation: (girls and couples, if you also feel this is a problem, then go ahead and modify it accordingly) For those who have read this far, please understand that I think I speak on behalf of most guys when I say that we're big boys and can handle a polite "no thank you". The reality is that it costs us hard earned money to be paid members and message you, and by not replying, we often end up messaging more than once. Thick skin I have, a bottomless wallet I don’t. - So please just be polite and reply with a "no thanks" if I'm not what you’re looking for.

    After many years on here as a guest I finally decided to pay for membership and I sent a few messages out to a few couples and ladies.... My messages had reasonable grammar, punctuation and spelling and were respectful without swearing... Overall I've had a pretty good response with courteous replies, which have resulted sometimes no reply but I've had a few who seem to think I am desperate and as such have great leverage and can be rude and insulting.... That's people I suppose.... :/

    I send messages and I know I am not the best at the great pickup lines, so I don't expect a reply and I am not disappointed. But when I do get a reply, I tend to be a happy chappy. Not all replies end up in a meet and not all meets end in play. But wasn't that life before social media and the satisfy my wants now society - Posted from rhpmobile

    As mentioned earlier, we don't reply to guys who clearly haven't read the profile. If guys can't be bothered to find out if they are what we are looking for then why should we be bothered to reply, we have spent our hard earned $$$ too. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'luvitruf' So we get a lot of messages and the majority are a template messageIf you can't be arsed writing a proper message - we can't be arsed spending time to respond - really simple! Given I've been really consistent and communicative to you both and everyone else. I think I'm deserving of the courtesy of a response so that I'm not dicked around in return ~ Just sayin' Indy

    yesterday with a friend from here. She and I were comiserating over the types of messages we receive, and the lack of respect from some.She received 3 messages in a row that were just the guy's phone number. No "hi, how are you", just a number...like she's a free escort service or something. Looking at their profiles there was NO info what so ever...just "ask me", and not even template responses in the 'About Me' section. So what makes them think they'll get ANY response at all to that?!? My suggestion to her, was to give one guy's phone number to the other, and let them work out for themselves who they're talking to! Maybe after they've exchanged cock pics they'll realise.... lol

    While it can be frustrating, a little disheartening even. It's your / our choice to become a premium member and our choice who we use the messages on. Just like it is the recipients choice to not reply and have to explain why they are not interested.... in my experience, just getting to access some of the members restricted pics would nearly justify the fee of membership 😍 lol focus on the positives brother , good luck with your future attempts 🖒 - Posted from rhpmobile

    and any sales process is a numbers game... You develop the product over a lifetime, you evolve it to a point where you know it's strengths and weakness's, you use your creative skills to hone a story that depicts the strengths that your research tells you will appeal to your target market... the story must be honest, forthright and appealing. Sadly this is a mass market site... sure you target those who indicate interest in a product of your shape, size, age, thoughts and desires... but it is what is not shown on a profile that determines a persons interest or not! I know I am made for a specialist market, I only target females, 35-55 with an indication of intelligence, a will for deviant behavior and a lascivious mind. I deliver a concise and relatively detailed description of what I am an what I seek. Within that defined category there are those who run away screaming FREAK (and perhaps they are right), others that say they would not read anything longer than a tweet (well they are not for me as that is the only way DONALD can think), and then there are the ones who are curious (there is nothing as sexy as curiosity). Beyond that there are those who are caught up in post 50 shades of interest and would like a bit of that (fine... I have sampled a couple of those and... well it is always a one off and I don't wish to go back as it is shallow and vacuous). I have been lucky along the way to have found several wonderful women who see eye to eye with me... where our minds and bodies have clicked... and it has been fabulous for months or years. Sadly all good things come to an end and we start again... more learned, more experienced and equally as precise in what you seek. The point I make is that some people will not like you and what you represent... move on... next please. Don't be offended and do not offend... live and let live. La LA La LA...

    Not worth reporting but thank you. After that moment when you read the medsage, comes the realisation you made the right choice, dodged s bullet yes. Block, breathe a big sigh of relief you never let them into your personal space, and move on. You do wonder if they were raised to respect women though and I maintain my opinion about what they put in, the effort or lack thereof, they put into their profile, makes a big difference. Having to chase clear pictures is a red flag and i never do that anymore. Bottom line though yes, respect, what possesses them to react that way?

    Seriously, no wonder people have so many problems on here. Instead of bitching about piss poor treatment in the fora or via 'gossip', perhaps take your responsibility in your own hands and REPORT! Don't downplay what you and so many other women have been whinging about all along! I have to say it's highly ironic that abuse arrives whether you reply or not... So, I'm going to say that's a useless reason for the next time, some poor, hard done by woman claims she doesn't reply because of the abuse. Women, take your journey in your hands, you deserve better!!! Put it in your profile if you're not going to reply to every message. Establish boundaries... That is your entitlement. Then when a thread like this comes up, you can honestly say, you do your best Oh and I said it before... but that whole thread went by the by... that you can turn off the flirts under your account settings if you don't want to receive them. It makes me wonder how this thread survives but the other one disappeared. I guess it depends who you're pissing off... some poor innocent newcomer or a regular... PeachyPearL

I don't appreciate being yelled at, maybe it's just your bold print/text, but don't come in here dictating, making demands, and venting about a topic disappearing or something? I couldn't even understand what you meant. Did you not sleep well last night? Are you okay?

    Yes, you can do whatever you want. I'd be a fool to suggest otherwise... and you can take or leave what I say... I'm easy. My problem is the mixed messages I get that spin my head around sometimes. You women say you get abused and that's one of the reasons you (specifically) give for why you don't reply. Then you march in and claim you got abused for not replying. And you're not going to report because it's not worth it. But you're not going to reply to people because you get abused when you do... WTF... Just don't tell me it's someone else's fault that you don't reply. and Please don't read anything into my writing, it's the same text and size I always use. The one part I wrote in bold was to make it stick out from the rest because it's the best thing since sliced bread. No longer does anyone have to put up with unwanted flirts, they can take action to improve their own experience. I'm all for a better experience and happy to say mine is. PeachyPearL PS: Deviate... I can tell you where to stick that comma. Avagoodweekend

    Reduce the size of your bloody text. Do you realise how much extra scrolling we have to do to get past your comments? You do it just to piss people off, well it's working. Concratulations. We have eyes, we can read normal size text, if not we wear glasses. Your huge/bright text is the equivalent of shouting, and inconveniences every person visiting that topic.

    Seriously? And you think I have problems... My text hasn't changed for years and now you decide it is shouting. I'm going to say it is you with the problem and if anyone else has one. Puhlease! Here, let me show you what it looks like smaller... I've been told in the forum that it is nigh on impossible to read... Anyway, I can see how this is much more important than reporting abuse... And as I have already said more than once today, I haven't reported a post for months. You must have noticed none of your posts @ me disappeared this last couple of weeks. I had a small breakdown earlier in the year as I realised the truth of how nasty people can be and how far they will go behind the scenes but I am long over that. "Not my circus, not my monkey." I do apologise for the tone of my first post today. I wasn't trying to be nice is the thing and I do have to wonder that if there was a widespread refusal to accept it and reporting was a common thing, if it would peter out... I suppose some might say I'm victim blaming... but you're no victim and of all the people here, you are the one I would picture reporting comments you don't like. It still makes me wonder how angry this topic makes people. And how some try to minimise it with senseless comments. The idea of what I view as common decency but... I... am... an... idealist and not trying to get it on with any of the women hehehe. Anyway, I don't reply to messages and that is the first thing in my profile and funnily enough, I don't get messages, so I must be doing something right. I don't reply to flirts either but I do have this in my profile, "A huge thanks for the flirts from the 'Hot or What"' picture feature... sorry I won't reply to them to save confusion." It's due an update, so I'll make sure that I mention the not replying to any flirts. I don't need the angst, it's bad for me in so many ways. Have a great weekend everyone. PeachyPearL

I only report outing type comments and ones usually from men that scare me, that make me constricted in the chest, threatening as if they're building up to outing, there are a few serial offenders. But no, I prefer to leave it all in print. Don't try to pass the buck onto me 👎 Someone pass the popcorn 😀

    If you ever get a sense of where I'm coming from, you might understand... It's as simple as, "Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you". The never ending double standard here never fails to surprise me. The demands on men from women which expects them to have everything on the ball. Pay for it, message for it, but don't whatever you do.. expect anything in return! Pffft! And angst is not the same as anger. The same as stress is not the same as anxiety (something I openly admit to living with) I do try to choose my words carefully... Here... Hope you're having a great weekend.

    I don't care what the definition of angst is so you can pug your dictionary away. You came into this topic guns blazing, having a go at me, and others indirectly, angry. Your post was angry and dictating how we should behave re replying and treating men. Here's the thing, you are free to do whatever you wish, but do NOT dictate to me or anyone else, what we should do on here. Name calling 'hypocrites' isn't doing you any favours, it just makes you sound bitter and angry

    It seems you have forgotten the topic. It's not about how poor guys behave or how you can blame them for your not replying. And that's not what my posts are about either. So, I won't waste anymore time trying to explain to you, you obviously want to be angry and expect people to behave the way you think is right... I love irony. But in future, if you are going to repeat what I say back to me, please get it right. I can't see where I called anyone a hypocrite either. There is a difference between labeling the person vs labeling the behaviour. Here... Hypocrisy: Always criticizing others for what they are doing and you are doing the same thing as others.

    Again I'll say you are dictating to all and sundry what they should be doing, and I'll add, ridiculing in the process. Your last comment to Mr_Mrs_E you started with "Well der", so rude, and then proceeded to tell them if they did get a well thought out message from a man, they should reply? Huh??? Who are you to tell us what we should be doing. And please put your dictionary away, I know the meaning of these words, that's just trying to bignote yourself, and again talking down, aiming to humiliate. You don't have to ram your way down our throats peachy, just respect our choices, as we do yours. I don't make fun of you for replying.

    The dictionary is because you are not getting what I am saying... you keep coming back with stuff that has nothing to do with what I'm trying to put across. It's not entirely for your benefit, I want it to be clear what I mean, not what you interpret it as. I have every right to my opinion whether you like it or not and I am on topic... The topic is about replying to proper approaches, not about abusing someone (as you did further back) because they abused you for not replying. When I say der, I mean you don't owe anyone any reply Mr-Mrs-E... imo at least. Why feel bad? There is no need to. I apologise if you feel I was rude, I am quite direct at the best of times and that doesn't translate well! Sincerely... Cheers, Peachy
