"wish people dho I mge, if not interested would reply with some kind of acknowledgement

From the FAQ's on site op, just so you know!
There are too many rude people on here who don't reply to my messages!
It's not rude not to reply.
Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here?  |

I reckon it's good manners not to try to dictate what others should do based on what you choose to do.
By that I mean you choose whether or not to use your time to message someone. Do they not have the same right to decide how to use their own time? Or do you think your choice to message entitles you to something from them?
Do you take the time to reply "no thanks" to all marketing material sent to you? Why not? They've taken the time to write to you.
There are lots of reasons for people not to reply which have nothing to do with rudeness. You could try asking why and attempt to gain some understanding rather than moaning about it and declaring people rude.
People will use the site as suits them best, not according to what suits you best. |

Oh btw OP, I can totally understand why getting no responses is frustrating for you. You've clearly spent a very long time on your profile, ensuring it shows you to your very best advantage and makes it clear you're someone every woman should be gagging to meet.
I'm willing to bet an equal amount of effort goes into your messages.
I can't understand why you don't have a queue. |

Op, if they replied with a "no thanks" would you message them back to say "ok, well thanks for replying"?
If you would that would then DOUBLE the number of messages a woman or a couple gets. All it is doing is creating a rod for their own back. They'll either get abuse, or a thanks for replying massage, which is just more stuff to deal with from someone that they dont want to play with. |

It's rarely possible to reply to all messages! And often a 'thank you, but not for me message' will then prompt a 'why not' reply !

I'm quite happy to accept no reply in fact I delete messages from my sent box so I don't see when they've read or deleted! Just a nice surprise if I get a reply |

Hmmm, log onto 50 plus messages, see one from the OP, look at profile. Does it stand out from all the others and make me want to reply, no. Make an effort then people might reply. Why you'd want an inbox full of no thanks messages I don't know. You have a no thanks with no reply. |

It's also really boring sending a string of 'no thanks' messages, most if which wouldn't be necessary if the person who message had read and paid attention to our profiles.
I'd rather spend my time messaging people who do interest me than those that don't.
I can send only a limited number of messages each day before I get 'messaged out' and fed up with writing them. Being told the number of messages I am expected to write, whether I want to or not, depends on the whims of others, and whether they choose to message me, doesn't sit that well with me.
I'm willing to bet the OP doesn't message people that don't interest him, yet he moans when others do exactly the same. |

It's taken over a year to lovingly craft thirteen words, some of them almost long words, into a beautiful hand crafted custom profile, I'd have thought the buggers would have at least seen the toilet that went into that and said something eh....

OP there's a limit of 100 messages you can send in a 24 hour period now if you as a lady have logged into anymore than 100 messages a day (yes that is possible as men seriously out number us ladies) so if you want to have a good conversation with friends and people that actually interest you there is definitely no physical way you can reply to all the messages you've received that day so take a no reply as a no thank you.
Look at it another way would it not be a little soul destroying and a knock to the confidence if you sent your 100 messages to get 100 replies of no thanks not my type?
Finally as another poster did mention do your reply to every piece of junk mail you receive through the letter box as those companies have taken the time to send you a nicely crafted advertisement about your services? Or do you simply throw it in the bin? Do you stay on the phone with pushy telemarketers who have taken the time to call you and can't take no for answer? Or do you just hang up on them? |

it must be frustrating to send out messages and not know if you're going to get a response however things aren't going to change in that respect for men anytime soon. The best I can suggest is that you assume you're not going to get a response then it'll be a nice surprise when you do. |

Quite. I usually ignore them but on this occasion I decided to answer for a change. The person in question didn't fit my profile in 6 or 7 different ways, so I had plenty to work with.
It was my fault for being so fussy though, not his for ignoring my profile and then asking why. |

I do sometimes reply with a polite no thanks but not always and to be honest, sometimes it depends on the message content and the profile it was sent from. |

I just block people now after a no thanks. I can't be arsed with all the crap that comes back sometimes. They usually message a few days/weeks/months later trying to change my mind or forgetting totally they messaged me before anyway so it stops all that. |

Not a profile critique chap. But we always reply to those who have clearly made an effort profile and message wise.
However if we get a rubbish message from a couple of line profile then we don't always bother. |

To be honest OP if you had chose to message me it would be deleted without even being read as like many I read profiles first and if the don't entice me there's no point reading the message as it's just junk mail |

Not from me they don't.
I'm picky and respect the right of anyone else to be picky. I never expect replies. It's great if I get them but if not, onward!

There are circa 180,000 active "single" profiles on FB 99% of which are male. So you are part of the majority of participants in the FAB world. Just think of sending a message to a lovely lady or gorgeous couple as buying a lottery ticket........you play because of a small chance you may get lucky. If your numbers don't come you don't write to Camelot saying you are disappointed? Just keep playing one day you will win...............it may only be a tenner but you will think you are a millionaire. Alternatively man up and don't take this malarkey so seriously! |

Verbs, nouns and adjectives as well as context make it more than a "fun example".
Which is why you can read this. Then once you have read this you will have pronounced "read" in two different ways. |

It says, though, when the first and last letter are correct, so most of your examples don't apply. The rest, mainly, will be clear from the context. |

It says, though, when the first and last letter are correct, so most of your examples don't apply. The rest, mainly, will be clear from the context."
This is because when scanning a word the eyes don't move linearly across the word, but to the first and last letter before moving back to the start of the word and Then the eyes read the bits in the middle.
This study was first done by the University is St Andrews over 20 years ago, but I think the paper was published about 15 years ago.
First and last letter, the type of word (noun, adjective, verb) and context. |

"There are circa 180,000 active "single" profiles on FB 99% of which are male."
You never see more than 27K profiles online.
In your local area you will have a few hundred to a couple of thousand profiles.
There is a ratio of between 7:1 and 10:1 male to female (thank you Peach Perfect for your study!).
So if there are 280 singles online in your area there will be maybe 30 and 70 females and over 200 males. So a big difference,but not 99% male. |
