Ok Help ...I have come across this a few times on here , and with out sounding Shallow or superficial , How can you tell someone ( possible match or someone who messaged you ) that Your not attracted to shorter ....Heavy .. Just all together wrong HWP to meet your wants needs ... How do you do this with out Hurting or offending that person?
There is NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT , However I personally find that I am always attracting Men (only because I AM A WOMAN ) That are not what I am looking for . I have made sure to add that info to my seeking" I would never want to hurt any one I do however want to put this out there and am open to any tips advice on how to "not hurt the person , yet tell them that they are not someone that your attracted to ..

I want to keep this real and again I am not perfect , no one is I just know what I am attracted to and what would make me want to try to possibly get to know someone .
Has any one had this experience and if yes Please help I have some that are making me feel really horrible because I am not attracted

Hi Laura, welcome to the Tumbleweed Forums. You will get messages from every different type on here.You just have to be honest and polite if you choose to respond. And,"DON'T" let it hurt your feelings if you get a negative response from it. Just like in real life some people just can't take no for an answer.If you feel like they are bothersome after you reply, then simply just block them.wave bouquet

wave That is why we read someone's profile. It usually spells out
their preferences. If they are ignoring it, they are just rolling
the dice anyway. It's a numbers game with some of these people.

thankyou for sending a message.
i do not think we are a match.
i wish you success with your search.


you aren't required to give a reason. you aren't even required to answer. but i think it's a nice gesture and i do respond to folks who send a thoughtful message (not one that reads like bulk mail..laugh)

and like kennn said...don't be surprised if you receive rude mail as it is part and parcel of dating online. if someone continues to write just block and delete (and don't confuse the issue...it's their 'stuff', not yours if they continue to write).

again...you are not required to give someone you don't know and have never met, a reason.

good luck

"Sorry I'm not interested." is all you say. You don't have to go into why, just do it with respect. If they don't like it, block them :-)

It can be different depending on the situation. If at any time you responded to a message and have some type of rapport happening before you decide they're not the right match for you, then I would write a message and state my reasons why. I would also ask that they respect my wishes of no further contact. If they do get abusive or don't stop trying then just block them.
