I have been told that a lot of women just delete sensible messages.

Is this true?? If so that is sooo rude and ignorant.

Why?

If you check a profile out before reading the message and decide that the sender is the opposite of what you'd be interested in in a million years/the total opposite of what your text states you're looking for.........and never even open the message?

How do you know if it's sensible or not if you just head for the delete button?

Ok, correction- I reply to all messages that are sensible and when people have read my profile.

I then say sorry you're not for me (if they aren't) instead of just deleting it.

We will try to reply to all if they are respectful, not aimed at just one or the other etc.

If not we will delete and block.

But when I was on a singles profile I would often just group block as it could get stupid.. For instance if you put up a new photo or put a naughty status up.

I do reply to polite messages that suggest the person has read (at least some) of my profile.

The problem I encounter sometimes is that it often does not stay there but people write back asking what I am looking for etc and I really do not want to engage in that kind of conversation; I do not usually reply to second and third messages if my first response was a polite "no, thanks".

If I get random messages from people who have worked the system to message me by adding a foto to their profile then removed after message I will ignore. If you reply it opens up their ability to keep doing so.

It may seem rude to you but unsolicited messages are rude also.

I'm totally with you. Sometimes if I get a lot of messages and I'm really busy I cant reply to all. But when I do respond to those who don't fit my profile with a really polite no thanks I can get real abuse. Just makes me think I was right to think they weren't for me.

See I honestly, genuinely don't find it rude. When I block men and do the messaging myself, I'll have messages that go unreplied to. I actually don't know if they've been read or not as I delete my sent box. It's not worth fixating on by anyone, male or female.

If I constantly courted new messages with provocative status updates etc then I might feel the need to reply to all of them but my profile is quite clear that I'm not looking to meet new people, so I don't think it's being impolite in any way not to reply.

"I have been told that a lot of women just delete sensible messages.

I used to, but got fed up of the rude and ignorant responses to a polite 'no thank you'...strange how those 3 little words would instantly change me from being 'gorgeous' to a fat slag they had messaged to offer a sympathy shag to. I'm not saying I got that reply all the time, but I got it enough times to make me decide to stop replying to any I wasn't interested in. Plus the FAQ's highlighted that 'no reply' means 'no thanks' and I also discovered it gives people a screen when messaging again to say I didn't reply last time, so in theory they wouldn't waste their time messaging again...in practice they often ignore that screen, but at least they were warned I'm rude and ignorant the second time around!

I can't remember the last time I sent a message on the basis of trying to get a meet from it, but I wouldn't be offended if my message was deleted. If anything it's helpful to both parties in helping them get what they want quicker? As in, find people they share attraction / interest with.

Oh I must be very rude then!

If I deem the boring message, I delete it.

If they are out of my age range, I delete it.

If they've sent just a cock picture, I delete it.

If it's outwardly sexual and explicit, I delete it.

If it looks like it's been copy and pasted to all women local to them, I delete it.

If it's asking for a private meet, I delete it...

If I don't fancy the person messaging, guess what, I delete it!

Oh and also - I feel no guilt! Many a time did I get a nasty response from a 'no thank you', deletion is the way forward.

Me too. I have set so many filters that I only get around 10 to 15 messages a day so easy to reply to. Of those, at least half have not read the first line of my profile and are not what I'm looking for so easy to decline politely.

I reply to most, depending on my mood.

About 95% haven't read the first line of my profile though, so I tell them that.

My profile says that I am educated and polite, which I am, so as a matter of respect I try to always reply even it is a no thanks...as you say it is rude...

I think its ignorant to tell other people how to yin their profile. Wr are here for our fun nobody elses. You carry on replying to your messages OP and leave us to run our profiles the way we want. You can't be getting that many messages to reply to all. Probably shy you put this look at me boys aren't I wonderful thread up.

Well done to the op, it's always nice to get a message back, even if it is a thanks but no thanks. There's a very very small percentage of women who display an air of arrogance, some of which has been demonstrated on here, by giving the op grief for daring to say some are doing it wrong.

Stop lecturing. You're as bad as the O.P.

There are no set rules that state what is manners and what is not.

It is NOT the social norm to get messages on sex sites and sit replying to them.

It's NOT even the norm on here.

The people that declare it bad manners and ignorant are merely self interested and made up the rule themselves.

People don't get replies for MANY reasons. It doesn't automatically follow that it's because the person who didn't reply is in the wrong.

Bleating like a victim and using condemnation of others may go a little way to licking your own wounds but it won't get you any replies.

Put that in the arrogant bag and give it a good shake up.

But it's not okay to say the way someone else runs their profile is wrong. It's ok if you want to reply to every message whether you're interested or not, I certainly wouldn't criticise the OP for doing that, but it's also perfectly ok not to, and I don't expect to be criticised for deleting either. If this makes me arrogant by your definition so be it, but I will continue to disagree. I don't not reply because I have more messages than anyone else or think I'm better than anyone else, but because I think they are pointless.

"Most of us reply to sensible messages. Just most of us don't get many sensible messages. "

True - so very true....!

I always reply politely to nice messages - but they are totally outweighed by short and often crude ones that do the senders no favours...

My rule of thumb...

If the message is well written, send a well written reply, even if it's no thank you.

If it's short or obviously not related to my profile - send a short and appropriate reply..

As the messages get shorter - so do my replies!

If it's a one-word message (yes, I get a lot!), then my shorter reply is nothing at all, no response, just delete.

And if it's crude, just ignore it or report it and move on.

I try to treat others as they treat me...

I've got to hold my hand up and admit to writing to someone who's profile clearly stated "not meeting anyone".

It was an honest and genuine mistake and I genuinely missed it and didn't notice until much later, after the damage was done and I feel mortified.

My message was sensible and sincere but no wonder she didn't reply. I'm sure I'm in the "oh dear another twat that can't read" pile.

If you're out there reading this, humble and sincere apologies.

There is another reason why I don't reply to all messages.

I'm not always looking for single guys so I use my filters to block them out when I'm not interested but if I have replied to their message saying no thanks they can still get through the filter. So I'm still getting messages from them even although I have single guys blocked

So if anyone took offence, they must feel they made an arrogant comment. I don't care whether somebody replies or not, I just simply move on. As stated, it's nice to get a message back, but it's not cool to dig out the op, just because they think it's wrong. Or are some people just stirring shit?

Lots of people who think they have the right to judge others unfortunately. As I said all-kinds of hypocrisy

Surely the opening comment of the op is judgemental?

Rude for not replying to all messages?

Yes could be considered rude. I'm not just talking about her comments though . Some people who don't like being judged find it necessary to judge how others run their profiles. Hypocrisy of it makes me laugh

But this thread is not about people's profiles.

No it wasn't was it . However some people deemed it appropriate to comment on how others use their status updates whilst berating others ie OP for being judgemental. All the comments are still here on the thread

but you are the only one going on about provocative status updates...."

This.

The reason threads don't stay on track is because people don't take time to read, which is rather ironic considering some of the comments about not reading profiles! "

Have you ever thought that some go purposely off-track?

Yup. Some do just to vent their own issues.

I only reply to messages from people who have clearly read my profile. If it's a one-liner, or unintelligible text speak I treat it like unsolicited mail.

If I send a well constructed message to someone, having read their profile and crafted it specifically for them, it's disappointing to not receive a 'thanks but, no thanks' at least, but judging by some comments on this and other threads it's hardly surprising that people use the 'bulk delete' button on occasion. If, after having spent time writing a message to someone, they don't reply to me simply because I don't float their boat, well that's their choice. I would however share the OP's view at that point that it's discourteous not to respond. However, without a response, I don't know the person's reason for not responding, so I don't make any judgements; I just wipe away the tears, pick up the fragments of my broken fantasies and move on!

Anyway, back to the OP: I'm sure Lady now knows it's neither rude nor ignorant to not respond to messages.

Personally I don't care how I'm labelled by others on here for what I do and how I run my profile. It's water of a duck's back.

Nope,I always reply as I appreciate that it takes guts to approach somebody and manners cost nothing!! Even if it's a no, I always send a " thanks,but no thanks" message back and wish them all the best in finding the right couple for them!!

Because funnily enough I have a life away from fab and to reply to a simple hi message...it's clear that the guy has put no effort into the message with hi so why am I going to respond with a thanks but no thanks only then on occasions to get abused because I've turned him down...

No one is angry at getting messages.

No one give messagers a hard time.

It's the other way around.

I tried the reply to every message approach with a sorry, no thanks. Gets frustrating when some folk then want a reason why?

Easier to delete and move on. I don't need to say sorry to anyone if I dont want to reply to their messages.

There are a lot of claws on show on this thread!

As someone who has a single man's profile, I understand how disheartening it is to put a bit of thought and effort into a message only to see it quickly read and deleted. As someone with a couple's profile - and Jane invariably leaves messages for me to deal with - I know sometimes you can't be arsed to reply! So I can see both sides. That said, if time and effort has been put into a message to us, I force myself to reply. Haven't had any abuse for doing so - indeed quite a few guys reply back to thank me for taking time to answer them, even when just saying thanks but no thanks.

It is the"Hi. How r u?" type messages I normally leave unreplied as I don't tend to fancy the stilted "Fine. You?" "I'm fine" banal exchanges

Do you sign off with your name or with both of your names at the end of the message? Do you advise that it's the male half responding to the message?

I respond to messages I want to. If we're available to meet and someone sparks our interest I'll message. I don't demand a set criteria for messaging, if I received a 'fancy a fuck' message from a Christian Bale lookalike I would respond if we were free to meet.

Otherwise I don't reply. This site is just a hobby, I am under no obligation to acknowledge anyway and vice versa. If people want to think it's rude then it's your call

Sarcastic yes, but nasty? Are you sure you're reading the same post as me?

If it's perceived as nasty then that's down to the reader and their lookout! And I'm not the author
