It's not rude, but for me it doesn't exactly inspire confidence that a convo would be forthcoming...when I send an initial message I make sure there's a question (other than how are you) included that might incentivise the person to respond...i don't respond to Hi as a first message (or anything else) unless there's a joke too |

Well you say hello 1st and if they reply then you ask a question or you will feel like a mug when they don't reply. It's common sense to say hello 1st and manners |

"I got told off for saying hello to people in London and blocked i'm like what did I do "
Whilst I don't bother telling anyone off for saying hi, I do make it clear on my profile that I will not respond and block unless there's a joke included...everyone deals differently with their profiles |

"What's rude about that? "
Nothing, I was taking the piss, the normal rules about manners don't apply on here, it's a long story but in future try being rude with your initial message, if nothing else you will get a reply  |

Let me get this right, you expect a joke or you block them, seriously?? |

Yep, it's a great filter and gives me a laugh (or a groan) It's just another way of making sure someone's read at least the first bit of my profile  |

I don't expect an essay but just 'hello' and then I reply 'hello' and then they say 'how are you' and I say 'fine' by which point I expect both parties are already bored!!
Try hello and even one sentence to try and start an actual conversation tends to work better.  |

Nobody makes anyone jump through hoops on here. If people don't like it don't message the person.
When I see those profile insisting you put a certain word as a subject header in the message I never do it, if they choose not to message me back as a result that's up to them. |

"Chalking 'Hi' on a brick and punting it through your neighbours window is frowned upon in some circles.  "
I go for 'yo' on a breeze block......much more original and tends to work better. |

My profile, my rules...I do well enough out of it and find that it's not often that I don't get on well with the folk that get past my numpty filter. As for jumping through hoops, that's not one of my kinks |

It's no different to people who ask for a certain phrase or word in the subject line really....plus she gets a fee joke |

Fair enough, I suppose these 'rules' make life easier for me as well, as soon as I read anything like that, I block them |

Don't think I said personal preference did I??? I said nobody HAS to do anything that is on a profile. |
