Should I stay or should I go?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Should I stay or should I go? It's obvious if a man wants a meet he should make an effort in his message.

But why is it when a genuine single male reads a profile and IF matches the fem/couples criteria. He sends a personal message, with a face pic or two, directs the message to worthy verifications and only asks kindly for a response either way he gets ignored n message deleted.

I understand clearly that I'm not to everyone's liking, yet it's appearing to be that the profile is fake I.e the stereotypical trailer trash male.

Or it's a rude impolite lady who clearly either has her head up her own arse because she gets endless messages from desperate cocks or has not only lost her knickers but gave up on manners when she lost self respect.

This is a general moan n I will get slammed by the haters but frankly I've had enough.

Single normal n genuine men are a minority, but I wouldn't of thought a respectable genuine female/couple wouldn't be able to muster up a no thanks.

Please just tell me someone's courteous enough to respond.

Not sure what you really mean.You have 17 verifications in 5 months. Many men don't have that after a year or two on here.

I had a profile previously n had to change my profile because of a stalker. So upon the change I got a lot of verifications immediately from previous months.

I just don't no why it's to difficult to reply with a no thank you if your not interested. That's my point.

a deleted message surely communicates the message that they are not interested .. just curious... why do you feel better about knowing that they aren't interested by having a mail to open that reads .. 'no thanks ' ?

We fail to see where the rules are that say " you have to reply even with a polite no thanks "

No offence but get some thicker skin, if they dont reply accept it as a no and move on.

For every no there is a yes waiting round the corner

Very good point. And this has been hashed over so many times - if we reply, we always get more messages trying to change our minds, and it's too much to deal with.

Yes it can be construed as rude, but no one is obliged to answer anybody.

If someone has clearly put some effort into their message but I'm not interested, I'll take the time to thank them and send a thanks but no thanks type.

If not, deleted!

you mentioned that you have been here before and this time 5 months, you already know from experience that some people don't reply to messages: it is part of the scene.

it is not going to change.

Surely by deleting your message they have informed you they do not want to meet. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Do you need additional information just in case by some stroke of incompetence they have deleted you in error. Just accept a delete is as good as a mail saying no thanks.

I reply with a thanks for the response then block them. As we all know by doing this it saves accidental contact at a later date. On occasion some profile change a pic or even a profile name. By me deleting them it saves accidental messaging again.

As are the messages I get from guys who want to meet when my profile states I'm not meeting.

I refuse to spend my time answering them when they obviously haven't read profile in first place and even when I am meeting it also says that I will not answer every message.

When I read the OP I had my normal head on, ie, caring, decent, normal run of the mill head on, so obviously would always reply to a message, out of politeness and common courtesy, if someone has taken the time to write a message to me, the reply would depend on effort taken, one common message I get is fancy a shag, or do you wanna suck my knob.

I would reply with a one word answer.

However if thought, originality and time is taken, I would reply in a similar way.

However as I read the following posts, I remembered what site im on,

Some people have very low standards, they are commiting adultery, cheating, and have very high opinions of themselves.

Some are just here for a power trip, or to get some excitement in their life, when I remembered that, I can understand why they don't bother replying or block you.

So far I have never sent a message, only replied to messages.

Often when you respond with a polite no thainks you get

Ok but why not give me a chance?

But why not?

Quite so. If I get a message, with a decent face pic, and I am not interested they get 'no thank you'. Just that - three simple words. I have found that if you try to justify why not it opens the flood gates. If they then message 'why not?' then I ignore and delete. It is on my profile very clearly that I do not engage in that kind of conversation. If I get an abusive response they are blocked and I think no more of it. I was clearly right to say no if they are that kind of person.

Then why would you want a reply from someone like you describe?

Some people reply, some don't, you can either take it on the chin and not let it spoil your enjoyment of the site or let it annoy you so much that you ask strangers what decision you should make.

I get that its frustrating for the men but as a single bi fem I do get my inbox filled with a lot of trash. Pic collectors or too far away or monosyllabic messages so sometimes I do a mass delete. Should I feel guilty for doing that?

Good manners invariably require some sort of effort, bad manners rarely so.

If someone has taken the time to read my profile (in effect my advert) and has made the effort to respond with a personalised message, my core values mean that I would always respond, even if it is with a thanks but no thanks. I don't need external rules to dictate who I chose to be.

That said, if others chose not to show a certain level of courtesy, that is their choice and my core values mean I chose to respect that. In forums like this they will sometimes give you the mitigants of why, but the bottom line is usually that in their _iew it's just not worth the effort. In a way it's good manners to just respect that.

I chose to hold the door open for others who may be walking behind me, others don't, I'm sure they can always justify it to themselves. It doesn't mean that I will stop holding the door the next time I walk through it.

Don't worry, there are about 100 men to each woman here. And they have a lot of messages each day, they have the right to do what ever they want.

Don't take it to heart, go to socials and meet ppl in the flesh first. Then chat on site.

To be honest I do pride myself on trying to reply to all messages. I have a couples profile with a friend and I've noticed single ladies often delete without reply from there. And couples actually.

I just figure we weren't for them. It is hard for single guys yet I know a few that seem to do very well.. but they attend lots of socials and parties and are regulars on chat on cam. Face cams.

I figure when your not enjoying things you leave. Or hide your profile.

You may as well just go. You aren't going to get people to reply to your messages like you want so what is the point in staying. Especially as you seem quite annoyed about not receiving a no thanks which you get the same outcome as a deleted message.

How is that even vaguely the same? If you text someone to ask them out you would already know them and they you. So yes you would expect a reply.

If you randomly text a number you pluck out of thin air asking someone out then no I wouldn't expect a reply from a stranger!

Manners do cost on here though. I used to reply to every message. It opens the door for more messages. The site software deems that you are indeed communicating with each other and doesn't put up a 'stop think' message. I have had abuse along the lines of 'rude, arrogant, up your own arse' variety for saying no.

If we say no and then block to stop further communication then a thread appears asking why the rude, arrogant women block when they have responded. I reply to a few now, if they have put some effort to their message. It's mostly fine but about 20% will be rude or pushy and that isn't worth the hassle.

Your post makes me think simply ignoring is a better option.

If you delete a message without reading it means that the person will get a warning next time they try to message you.

I used to respond to everyone but that just opens flood gates. People don't accept the 'no thanks' and start asking 'but why?' or hurl abuse at you for the rejection they feel. Or they go away quietly and message you again a few days down the line.

A lot of guys put a lot of effort into messages they send me but still have not bothered to read my profile. I can see that from the first few words in the pre_iew.

I delete now to save myself grief.

I'm sure there are very nice guys who I do this to but the majority are not and they have informed my decision to use a blanket approach.

If you don't get any replay's you are doing something wrong and its often attitude to people. To expect everyone to reply? come on I bet you dont chat to every cold caller. If you don't get a reply its because you didn't get someone attention address that and you will get more its that simple.
