do you think you use this word too much (i can think of 2 or 3 forumites that will say no to this - lets see if i am right haha)
for instance, i get a message from a 19 year old. my profile has an age range on it and he is too young for me.
i reply saying 'you are to young for me, sorry.' Why am i sorry? he should be sorry for messaging me when he is out of my age range 
similarly my profile states i do not cam but i always apologise when a guy asks me to cam for him
maybe i am jus a soft touch  |

My standard reply is.
Thank you for your message but I am not interested. Hope you find your fun.
Seems to work. Not apologising but polite and to the point

Why should you apoligise!!! Really if they cant be bothered to read your profile..just ignore...BUT must admit we do send "Sorry" too...so no real answer...Nice post though..shame we are not closer would have been fun to play but now 90% of the time in spain...xx |

Softness is a lovely trait in women and although it seems old-fashioned I think a little femininity in the written word is well received.
I think sorry is fair enough as it pads the sentence out to stop it looking abrupt and also shows you have manners.
Sometimes when I look at some of the handsome young lads on here Im very sorry they're not 15 years older!!!

"Are you really apologising or just using a throw-away comment."
That's kind of my point. I think that out of politeness I can't not put sorry at the end of my messages even though they are 'in the wrong' for want of a better phrase as if they had read my profile they will know they are not what I am looking for |

I do say it in messages but not in any meaningful way. On the whole I find a more courteous reply tends to stop some of the nastier messages back...
Gawd I sound like a girl. Need to grow some balls... |

If its a message then I say the word sorry but etc etc etc. It is a throwaway comment and Im not sorry, but it doesnt do any harm, theres no need for abruptness and a ball breaking attitude. Im certainly no pushover and in debate I wont apologise for a point of view, but in general terms im happy with the kind response that I give others who message me. |

"A polite decline never goes amiss, ....lovely as some of them are they failed to miss my age limits on the profile. They may get the message one day"

I would sometime's say sorry in a mail, but only if it has been a nice mail, it is more to cushion the blow so to speak, and tryin to be poilte in rejection, however i do agree i wont apoligise for comments i made in forums unless i have picked someone up wrong,(which i have done before) or have offeneded someone with my humour, as i would never intentionally offend anyone. |

I would say sorry for refusing to do something, even if it is in my right to refuse in the first place, as I believe it is polite and courteous to do so.
