It may just be the way we were raised as kids, but "good manners" was always being drummed into us an essential people skill that would be required in adult life!
Surely it is only curteous to reply to any message received.
Regardless of who contacts us we always reply, whether it is a polite decline or more.....
A quick e mail replying to someones interest isn't asking too much - is it? |

i know what you mean we try to answer emails too, but sometime you get bombarded by mail you've not asked for and manners work both ways, if its obvious that we've said no to someone ie age or single guys and they can't or don't read then why should we answer.
just my 2p worth

Yeah, fully understand - people that cannot read your profile or previous correspondence need to be blocked and do not deserve future contact.
where we are coming from are first time introductory emails...... |

I can't reply to every message I get. I would spend all day replying and never actually chatting to people. I'm not rude just haven't got enough hrs in the day. Half the time when you say no thanks you get one back saying why not. You can't win really  xx |

I agree that manners cost nothing but I also have seen other users inbox with |OO plus emails in a day. As has been said before, you can't really blame them if they don't reply to say no. Time is too precious to open message and then they profile. Its not about being rude to the sender - its about the reciever exercising time management. Happens a lot in business - not every firm writes a sorry you no got the job to every candidate. |

We always send a reply to any mail we get. Not everyone extends the same courtesy back, even people who are on (correction, were on) our friends list.
Had a few couples just read and delete the message which makes our finger twitch over the delete friend button.
Fully understand some single girls can't reply to all mail, but any couple who says they are getting too much mail to reply to everyone are telling whopping big porkies.
Manners cost nothing. Pity not everyone posses them!! |

We tend to reply to **most** that we get, if its a single guy mailing then its just deleted. If its a couple/fem that manages to string more than one sentance together, will get a reply.
Those that mail 'Hi, hows yous' get deleted.

I reply to all messages even if just to say no thanks, but then again I only get 10-15 messages (on a good day) so it's not too much trouble for me.
I only message people after reading profiles because it wastes my time as much as the fem/couple/guy's time if the preferences aren't right.
Tin hat time but I think anyone bleating on about not getting replies are just messaging everyone and anyone without checking the preferences. If you know you're not right for someone, why 'expect' a reply?

phoaaaar thank god this wasnt a single male asking this, the comments would have been, "cos we mail when we want to"- sory that is just the way things are...I dont like seeing my mail being deleted or read with no reply...i just dont take that as a no(that doesnt mean I mail back asking whywhywhy-i just wait till a later date)- once i receive a no, i thank them and its a cheerio.Im against blocking people cos they said no thanks...as some may change their minds at a later date...or in fact theres the offer to join some of ur friends in a social environment/club/party not everyone NEEDS to shag to have a good time on the site or socially |

Utter nonsense.
We only ever message people who fall within our, and their, criteria. |

People think they are "faceless" when it comes to emails so can afford to be rude, but at the end of the day manners are free and if the sender has made an effort of more thank a couple of words, which most people on here complain about, then they should at least deserve the courtesy of a reply |

I left my good manners at the door ,right after i slammed it shut on the face of that old granny struggling with her shopping !! nah ok seriously when it comes to replies and manners , not sure if you can link the two . When women and couples are being bombarded by so many messages they just dont have the time to reply to them all i can see their point . which is a bit of a shame because when you taken the effort to write a decent message and read the profile and put a bit of thought into it and it gets deleted , no reply , its a bit frustrating and its more than likely all thanks to the "fancy a fuck brigade ". Or the fact im an ugly bastard lol  |

There is no, "deserve a reply" there is no "surely they gotta be impressed by that one i sent em", i'll keep keep saying it, if you dont have the easy come easy go attitude with all your doing, hoping for that "deserved reply"? Will only bother you, and thats serious downtime on here!! |

Cant help thinking that if the OP was a guy people would be ripping into them for daring to get ticked off about not getting a reply.
Maybe the OP should take the advice given to guys - its the other person's loss, move on, simples. |

I try to reply to as many mails as possible.. Although as I was a single male originally I know all too well the feeling of disappointment when a mail is deleted without being read... As I see it though surely on a site like this the person/s choice to reply is at their own discretion? I mean quirky used to be bombarded with mail when she was single and I don't mean friendly hellos either lol. Way I see it is on here most are like minded and based on the fact we would only mail people we have chatted to or met at a social or at least had a matching interest on their profile, their is only one explanation for a lack of reply and although some may construe it as rude not to acknowledge it I simply take it on the chin and move on as apparently we do not have shared views on etiquette and therefor I would lose interest anyway
P.s - W&W am still waiting for a reply muahahahaah

"Thats interesting.... you did not bother reply to us when we contacted you guys about a year ago.. A polite no -thanks would have been nice xxxx"
Yep, simple no thanks to us also would have been nice, when we messaged you a while ago. The irony of this post did make us chuckle |

Should we start a seperate thread for you to name and shame all the people who haven't replied to your emails?... Or would we need a seperate server for that? 'noreply@fugyuk.co.uk'? |

Reply if you want to, delete if you don't.
We as a couple sometimes have differing ideas on this. Not in the way you think;-)
But at the end of the day, Dyslexia seems to be a common trait on here, happens more often around pub closing time for some reason
