WHY BOTHER REPLYING?

September 23 2010

I have no doubt this question will invoke plenty of responses and I truly welcome the advice and commentary from guys and girls.....My question is this. I sent a flirt to a girl who sent back a flirt saying "I am a guest, can you message me" ....so of course I send a message and actually spend some time responding to her profile.....and guess what...nothing! Not even a "thanks but no thanks".......so my question is why bother replying to the flirt if you had no intention of replying and secondly, are people genuinely looking for "something" or is it more a game for many people? Over to you world.......

    she's obviously busy in her other job as a 'back street pickup', I mean that, coupled with her full time gig, dioesn't leave much time for gas bagging with you.......move on to the next broad......

    Far too often we receive flirts from guy who point blank refuse to read ALL our requirements.. Yet' they still send their flirts regardless.... So' we have now taken to useing the ' Im a guest please contact me' option . We know most of these guys are guests and cant contact us'... so now its their turn to become frustrated.. If they do message us' it also gives us a chance to give a polite ' sorry' but you did not read ALL our profile... Waste of time you say ? Yes' but it sure does give back some satisfaction.....

    I used to be a paid member on this site but let my membership lapse because it wasn't wotth it as I could never meet anyone. I would only send messages to women who I thought would meet me as I was in their preferred age group and there was nothing in their profile to suggest that they wouldn't meet me. I was never rude or suggestive. A large number of my messages would remain unread or they would be read and I would receive no reply. I received a few polite "thanks but no thanks replies". I am a middle aged and overweight and as such I am sexually unattractive to women. Despite what women write in their profiles, the only thing that matters to them is appearance, I am totally convinced of that. That is why they don't reply or tease you a flirt or a response to your first message only. I am not expecting to meet anyone this time around either.

    Maybe out of the 50 odd msgs she received each day she got a better offer! Yes it is rude of her to not reply back to every male that got past the first pass on the 'delete or keep' list but maybe the guy she chose rocked her socks off. Just put it down to one of the pitfalls of being a single male on RHP, we are the lowest of the low, at the wrong end of the queue always. Mooka

    If it was a case of me not being within the "parameters" of their desire or not having read what they were looking for, I would agree with you......however I do take the time to read the profile and make sure I think they will be interested.....But that said, I accept that not everyone has decent manners and it is totally THEIR loss.....LOL.....they may never know whether they missed out on something wonderful......LOLQuoting 'justjuice' Far too often we receive flirts from guy who point blank refuse to read ALL our requirements..

    Darlings, I apologise on behalf of those women who don't reply - occasionally I am one of those women too. I am sorry. As soon as you put 'single' and 'seeking men' you do receive a lot of messages and sometimes wading through them takes time - I know it is rude to sometimes not reply but it does happen and I'm sure it was an oversight. Long, well constructed messages do take time and effort. If this lady doesn't answer, you'll be even better at woo-ing the next one. Please persist, consider adding "I'd really appreciate hearing back either way" or some such to the end of your message, and be strong. We can be moody creatures. Keep trying. She'll either be won over or she'll grow some balls and tell you 'Thanks but no thanks'.

    The comment above sums up the topic quite well. As it takes time and effort to type out a good message, which I am sure you invested, and it is common courtesy to reply to a message even if its a simple no thanks. Flirts i dont bother with though, to me it just shows the person is either lazy or cant be bothered paying for a membership.

    Reading and not responding, I can sort of understand. If you're not interested, (and rude) then not replying makes sense. What I don't understand is not reading the messages in the first place. Sure you get a lot, you are busy, that makes sense. But when months go by and the messages I send don't get read... I don't get it. I know these people have been online since I sent the message...What filter are the using? Are my subject lines that bad? They're not looking at my profile first. But for some reason I don't even rate 30 seconds to read a short message? Why is this?

    ...it's the INTERNET!!!! In real life, you would have made eye contact at the bar, she would have perhaps smiled and ordered her drinks, you would have started chatting, she would have paid for her drinks....and when she said, cya, the smile (or absence of it) would have said eveything. Bottom line, you can't "flirt" on the internet - "flirts" are simply attention grabbers. Jx

    You have probably spent more time stressing out over this than you should have. I can only imagine the angst will carry forward into the next attempt to contact someone...ad infinitum. | So...who cares? Move on. You have probably wasted enough time here to have sent out another half dozen or so other invitations to get to know someone. | Which reminds me...I am outta here!

    A fat wallet works. They can look right through you computer and spot one, or lack of one.
