I don't mind being rejected it vs opens we r adults but what annoys me is people who read your message view your pics and don't bother to reply, we took the effort to write to your so politeness dictate make an effort, even a "thanks but not interested sorry" is polite.

Because we don't know if you're the type of guy that gets nasty with the word no.

I have gone from sexy to slap in one simple message. Why would I risk that every time I don't want to fuck someone?

Nobody dictates anything to us, you're not entitled to a reply regardless of how much you think so. We reply to people we're interested in and the occasional forum friends messages. The rest get filed B1N

No reply is a reply....

Replying opens up the floodgates for guys trying to convince me I am interested or abuse.

Why should I spend my time replying to the ones that clearly haven't read my profile? I ask for a face pic as I'm not going to meet based on a cock pic. It's written right at the start of my profile.

Here's a thought, OP - shift your perspective. You found out they were not the sort of people you would want to meet very early on due to their 'ignorance'; feel accomplished, then move on.

From a negative to a positive. Thats basically turning a frown upside down.

Here here Evie! I agree, but does the op realise that just sometimes you can get so many messages, answering them can be just impossible! It doesn't mean everyone is rude. We sometimes forget to message back as we are at that moment having a good old chinwag with friends.

Would you accept a 'thanks but no thanks' and then being blocked any better than you would a non reply ?

Brighton - even Hove!

If I notice someone nice looking at my profile, I will sometimes send a thanks for wink/looking message but don't expect a reply. No need. No reply is not rude on Fab. A no reply is a no thanks.

I'm sorry, but that is such a cop out. No one ruins it for anyone else. How can an inbox full of 'no thanks' be any better then a no reply?

I agree with your title, but why would

you want to go back to an ignorant message.

After a while you grow a tough skin and Think " next"

You are online, like thousands others, nobody owes you a favour.

Once again the Pizza analogy comes into play, the message you carefully craft and send is no more than junk mail offering a product, do you phone the local Pizza place and tell them thanks but no thanks when they put a leaflet through your door?

Do you advertise for Pizza menus? See that's where this analogy falls down. It only works if your profile says you are looking for one type and another type sends a message e.g. you are advertising for FF couples and a single or a MF couple messages you.

not replying has nothing to do with been polite, a no reply is an answer in itself it means not interested, read the site rules, do a forum search on the same subject it will tell you all you need to no, it isnt bad manners or impolite not to reply to a message you didnt ask for.

Logical fallacy - if no one messaged without first being asked, no one would message at all. Someone has to initiate the conversation!

no it doesnt fall down at all, just because you have a profile on a swingers site saying you are looking for m,f and mf doesnt mean that everyone of those is going to match what you have on your profile, half dont read it but message anyway, many others will read it and not match preferences but message anyway, others just simply arent what we are attracted to, it is the easiest and best way to concentrate on the ones we are interested in (since thats what we are here for) and not the ones we arent, then you see them crying on here about not getting a no thanks message and think, im pleased I didnt reply.

@OP

Don't be so 'sensitive'. Most single women and couples here get hit on by single males so much that they end up blocking single males. If you mail a girl or couple and they read your mail then reply just accept it and move on. At least they opened your mail, that's more than happens to lots of messages.

To me, anyone who expects a reply on an adult contact website, is the type of person I won't reply to. Needy people, in this lifestyle, are like pubic hairs on a pizza.

And, people unable to use a search function. Who continuously raise the same point on a public forum that's been done to death more times than a victor meldrew impression. It just gets worse and more unbearable every time you hear it.

And yes I have a headache !

But you are soliciting messages

Fair enough, the ones that don't meet your written criteria are unsolicited but if you ask for single men of a certain age and don't happen to like their photo that doesn't mean the message from them was like a Pizza menu.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think people have to reply, it's just the analogy that is wrong.
