I respond to every contact, even the scammers
Perhaps you should ask yourself...
What am I writing that warrents no response.
And...
If what you're writing gets you nothing, then unless you change something... You'll keep getting the same response (nothing!!!)
Good luck guys. There's a world of people just waiting to meet you
ive sent out like 20 mails, they never reply back
there is no nice way of doing it really cos some1's feelings will always get hurt :(
May be that will work. 'cuz i hadn't replied for xxxxxxxx no of messages 'cuz nothing really seemed to be responded and i chose someone thinkin' to get to know better but 'am discouraged as the person might thing that he's pretty old or may be didn't like to be friends.... Crazy Dynamics but try the profile-relating talk. It might
Ladies, here is what I write. It has served me well:
Thank you for your interest. It appears we are not a match. I wish you all the best.
Oh..........and just a caveat........under no circumstances should you say why you are turning the guy down. You will only get some dumb butthurt response. Apparently men don't like to be told they are too short.
From the other side I think that lack of good-manneres is a characteristic of a Scammer also...........
This is a really nice and short response!!!.. well thought out girl! Thanks a mill!
If they send msg back asking why they're not a match, can u not respond to that, cos that can lead to some hurt feelings, like u said before ppl dont like to hear that they're too short or whatever?
surely there are etiquette principles to suggest a mere response that 'we are not a match' (as previously suggested above) should offer enough closure
however, contact me & i will respond & I will tell you straight the what & why. (but do not expect timely responses as I am busy)
i would only wish both men and women would be able to have strength to offer clarity and valued closure
That's not what I am complaining about. As some have already said, it boils down to plain common courtesy.
I didn't realize that a lot of women are having the same problem. So I learned something. Guys, gals, show some class. I always write something based on a person's profile, without the pickup line. It shows you are trying to get to know someone. Understand, though, if someone is arrogant enough not to reply, it means that he/she is either meat-market shopping, is on this site because they are bored and not really serious, or simply thinks they are the neatest little trick ever to come down the pike.
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Don't worry - it happens here in Oz too.
Like many of the other female posters, I reply to all my mail. Whether with interest or with a "Sory.......wish you well in your search" It's sheer common courtesy as far as I'm concerned.
Go Well, Homeboy!
I also do not respond to comments like "you're hot", "you're sexy" or "interesting profile" when you have not even looked at it. Comments like this don't warrant a response. Nor do I normally respond to guys who tell me to email or IM them on other sites the first time they write as I suspect they're scammers.
And if you contact me saying you see I'm online so we should chat, or why am I not answering the email you sent 15 minutes ago, forget it!!
