Do you ladies read all your mail?
Jump to: Newest in thread
One for the ladies-
As guys, we are constantly being told to send an original message, no one liners etc which I compleatly agree with, however, it is frustrating when we type out a well worded unique email for it to simply be deleted with no reply as opposed to a simple reply such as "no thank you"
Whilst I appreciate you ladies can't reply to all mail you recieve but would be nice to get a simple response for a well written 1st mail!
Do you always read the mail or just go on the guys pic?
Not having a moan here, I'm just genuinely curious.

I dont waste much time on initial mails..and they can be pretty generic, if they decide to get into conversation thats where the work really lies.
I never discuss sex(or the potential sex)in any great detail ever...I dont mail everyday..
its always worked for me.. |

I'm not able to read all unfortunately so I go on the pic and the first few words you can preview on phone. The good pics generally involve clothes FYI!!
Also I'm not a fan of long messages!
It's difficult but I message guys and get no reply so it's not just one way round! |

No I don't read all my mail, when there's too much of it, it becomes a bit of a chore tbh.
For me it's a combination of:
User name
Avatar
Shadow man
Opening 1st line....
Determines if it's read it not.
Hope that helps! |

I'm sorry but I don't. I skim the message in my inbox but rarely open it to read it. I currently have 374 unread messages (I know I can turn my 'looking for' off and reduce this but occasionally there is a gem that is worth pursuing). I used to go through all my messages once a week when I had time on my own with my laptop (easier than using the mobile site for that purpose anyway) but it started to feel like an admin chore rather than fun. Now I save ones that may interest me when I am actively meeting unread and have been known to contact someone after months as a result. |

No I don't read all mail
I've given up on sending no thanks lately after quite a few abusive messages back.
Also if you reply it means they can break through any filters you may later apply on the account. |

"Maybe you ladies need a PA?!
So how do you determine who you reply to, luck of the draw?"
Profile pics
If I like them I'll open their message and reply |

I look at the profile first, then the mail. If the profile is no good I delete the message unread.
If the profile is good then the message could say pretty much anything and I'll reply to it. |

What do you class as a "good profile"?
I would be grateful for any pointers with mine? |

If they have a nice avatar, i'll check out profile. If its sparse or no pics/private pics/veris I'll not bother. If pics are attached my curiosity is often piqued.
It seems unfair but ill take someone more seriously if theyve taken time with their profile |

You have a very good profile and a few sexy pics maybe add one or two more. Possibly a bit more about preferences and what youd like from fab but not essential. |

Click on the profile first to see if we've exchanged messages before or met (as that's been known ), then read message, no face picture gets no response, miles away gets told and the follow up message of 'I can travel' gets read and not replied to as in both cases it's obvious they haven't read my profile. Those messages of 'what u up to tonight/are u free tonight' get told to read status |

On my profile it says I'm not interested in anyone who doesn't accommodate, is attached or is miles away. Plus I don't meet smokers. I click on the profile before opening mail and if they are any of the above I delete without reading. |

^ This. I'm not inundated with mail (fortunately) as my filters are set very tight and it's very easy to see very fast if someone has read my profile or not! |

I don't read all mine no. I do look at pics, or if they've sent pics, coz it is looks i go for and then i'd read the message for some sign of intelligence.
Tbf to guys they do send me pretty much non-offensive messages, mainly ones i can't reply to like compliments or hi how are u. One day i shall tell them how i really am and see if they can handle the reply. |

Another reason for me not sending any messages to Women/couples I haven't already messaged before, I haven't updated my profile text yet but hopefully being a regular on the forms wouldn't stop people who use the forums from at least reading a pm if I sent them one |

I used to always reply to everything then I found if you say no thanks or your not what I'm looking for I then get asked why? Why not? What am I looking for? It becomes a tad tedious so no I no longer read it, I scan down and if the first line looks interesting or the avatar catches my eye I look at the profile if I like the profile I'll read the message and respond, not always the politest thing but when you have 300-400 messages sat there it's just the way it is  |

I read them all but reply to very few. Those who have obviously not read my profile get deleted straight away. Those just saying "suck my cock" etc also get deleted, so do guys who are way out of my age preferences. Doesn't leave many but quality always comes first with me. |

My wife recently sent up a single profile, one line of text, no pictures, she had 30 messages in the first HOUR! they were coming in quicker than she could read them, let alone respond. With the ones she did respond to with a No of various lengths, this just generated even more messages to deal with!
A very large number came from men well over 100 miles away. We live in Cambridge but were getting messages from people in Scotland, Wales, Manchester, Liverpool etc.
From a single guy she got 3 identical copy and paste messages in the space of 2 hours.
Some of the messages just lookes like a cat had walked across the keyboard. They literally weren't even words, but a random mixture of letters and numbers.
She only had the profile for a day and had to abandon it, it was too much work. Can you imagine what it would have been like if she had actually attached pics? |

I don't read all of them. Of those I can tell are just a one liner I usually just delete without reading. Those that are obviously copy and paste jobs I delete. If the same person sends the message again I usually end up blocking them.
Those they write nice messages (even if they are crude or explicit ) I do reply even if it takes some time. I try to make my rejection letters polite and those that interest me I send a flirty reply.
If it looks like we'll definitely be meeting I pass it off to my OH to make the arrangements. He has final say on who we meet even if I'm extremely horny for them. |

Just being online on the forum now will generate messages. I read the majority of them but if I can see the opening sentence plainly shows they haven't read my profile they get deleted. If I like the profile and the person seems interesting I'll have a chat. But then being online means more messages coming in AND answering the few messages I want to respond to. I do a regular block deletes. I often have the thought I'm glad I'm not a fella on here. I'd give up! |

Hi , just our tuppence worth , but a thank you not interested AND Block in one would be a good idea we think lol ,no doubt we'll be shot down by the why should be have to brigade lol - this is said in jest , no need for any one to sharpen cudgels ,can't see any real downside , other than you will not see as many profiles as you search , on the other hand you also know where you stand , just our humble opinion x |

You engage or make eye contact that's it! You're a goner
I just ignore and carry on with what I'm doing
As for messages,I replied to one yesterday,a few hours after it was sent,the sender didn't have a clue what I was replying to as he'd forgotten he'd even messaged me,so I don't feel rude or impolite for walking by or or ignoring messages while I'm busy doing other things |

For me, when I was meeting, 1st check was age, IV never fancied a guy younger than me, this was stated on my profile, so any mail from younger guys, deleted.
Hi. How's you? Nice boobs. If I can see that's the whole message, without opening, Deleted.
Then I click on profile, anything drastically puts me off in the text, deleted. Then pics, if all dark grainy cock pics, or of that ilk, deleted. Any that are still good at that point, I read the message. If it's decent, I'll reply, if it's a detailed description of what they're going to do to me/asking for bareback, from a couples profile but just the man meeting, deleted.
I don't have time to reply to all. Nor can I be bothered, fab is for fun. Not for hours of admin to sooth egos, and to get whiney/beggy or abusive mail back from those who can't take rejection.  |

"I don't understand why those who have hundreds and hundreds of unread messages just don't delete them???  or am I missing something?! "
I used to try and keep on top of my inbox, was easy when i was on here a lot and deleting as i chatted. Got lazy, i suppose.
Deleted most of mine and then put in my profile idk when i'm meeting, got school holidays in my profile header, so not getting many messages now.
Despite having filters on sometimes you have to add extra to your profile (and status sometimes) to get messages down. It does work though, and i do feel that most guys read your profile because of this. |

I always ask for a pic to be attached then I can assume they at least read my profile.
Can't stand the long winded copy and paste just like a nice short message about yourself and if you fit what I've asked for.

Yeah I generally reply to every mail I read even if it is with a very simple 'no thanks' however I don't read them all... the joy of the first line preview lets me see all the 'hi how r u sexy' messages and I delete them without reading. I know all I need to know from that.
Sometimes I click and look at their profile, if they're way too young/too old/not even close to my cuppa/using that bullshit Sydney crap/can't string a sentence then I don't bother to look at the mail then simply delete it.
I don't consider it rude. It's reality. My profile is pretty clear. |
