Generally, I reply to all, with the occasional exception.
As this subject pops up frequently, I've had a think about it.
In most messages, it's clear our profile has been ignored, and they're messaging simply on their interest in our pictures with no consideration for what we express in our profile.
We've even taken to uploading a picture with a caption to suggest reading before messaging, as a result.
From my perspective, when someone has put effort into their profile, with pictures, a descriptive bio, an age range and tick list of interests.
To ignore all of that effort, then message anyway, and often with a question they can find the answer upon our profile, the problem isn't if we don't reply, but the ignorance and disrespect shown by the one contacting.
We are descriptive in our profile, for two reasons, for others to consider whether we are for them, and if they may be what we are looking for.
On top of that, way too often, the one contacting us have a blank or near blank profile, and ignore our choices.
In this case, we owe them nothing.
Think of a profile as a job advertisement, just for the sake of this explanation.
It's advised when applying for a job, to read what they are looking for and to highlight where you fit in.
If applying for a job, and you send an application saying .... Hey, want to employ me.
Guess what, you'll not get the job and likely receive No reply.
I'm aware not all behave this way, though it's a high percentage.

, completely agree! As great as it is to get a reply, no one should expect anything from anyone! No one owes anyone anything and people should respect that no reply means not interested. It’s apples and oranges at the end of the day, we all like different things and rather than been a tool about those that aren’t interested in them, they should focus on moving on a finding people that do want to meet them. What do they think having a go at people not interested in them is going to achieve? xxx
It is not rude to not reply it is just good time management lol.
