Quick where is my Ms. Connecting Singles Manners book when I need it.
As an extension on that same question, if your profile says you are here for the international forums (or in my case, that and any mail from those in Scotland) is it bad manners to have someone mail you from other places?

Is it good manners to want to control women's behaviour?

Respect comes to us in all forms and it's not about trying to force or control anyone else, if someone genuinely thinks with out any malice on their behalf that you would be a nice person to get to know, then what is the harm in viewing their profile.
If you have put limitations or restrictions on your profile to whom you wish to talk with, then that should be respected, it costs nothing to be nice to others.

People have their own lives and their own priorities.
I think you would agree that to spend my time viewing randomer's profiles out of politeness just because they chose to mail me, rather than attending to the needs of my granddaughter could potentially be harmful.

That is exactly what you're trying to do.
You're claiming that random strangers on the internet owe you their time to look beyond your email that didn't interest them and look in your profile because you messaged them.

It is surprising how many people (not you Joe) on this site attribute great importance, gravitas, and drama to any piddling e-mail they send or receive. Odds are about 9 or 9.9 out of ten that the receiver is a fake. The sender is almost as often a fake. The legal capacity to contract of many of the parties involved equally dubious. Look forward to a few words of courtesy and ignore or report the creeps.

Joe, what would be the purpose of someone reading your profile out of politeness? What would it provide for you and the reader?

You might be new to the top paid dating sites- in that situation look forward to a huge and exhausting about of e-mailing (all the top ladies I met said they receive a hundred plus emails a month) and only answer 1 or 2! I've also seen a lot of real beauties stay on the service for several years. Good luck.

Just because people choose to send me a mail doesn't make me obligated to read their profiles.

Man does this question get rattled around a lot. Awhile ago, I participated in a forum similar to this, so if some find it redundant, excuse my dust! Although no one is certainly obligated to respond to any mail, it would be the polite thing to do. Look at it this way: unless someone is blatantly being nasty or scamming or the like, they have taken time to try to meet, which is a reasonable expectation on a Singles Club, HELLO. At least a part of maturity is being willing to give a little of oneself, and a quick note back to the friendly one you got isn't going to be the end of the world. It really doesn't take that much time, certainly no more time than participating in the dirty joke section, or complaining about the government, or the price of rice in Hong Kong.

Joe is also referring to someone checking out someones profile if someone is sent a mail.

No. It's chronic optimism.

I do not understand.
Why should I look at a profile of a man I never asked to send me mail even I do not wish to have anything to do with?! 
It is the same like to come into a shop just to tell a shopkeeper, " thanks, I am not going to buy anything from you" ...

When you post your profile on C.S, there is enough space in it to put exactly what you are looking for and if somebody should tick all those boxes and decide to write you a mail, then good for you, somebody wishes to make a connection, on the other hand if they do not fit what you seek, yes they are wasteing your time, but by not having the correct information on your profile on what you look for, whose time is being wasted?
The only thing anyone "owes" here is to be straight forward and honest in themselves, a email is only a opening to a persons profile and you send it in the hope the other person will check it out, personally when writing a email i keep it short and simple where as i have found those that send you their life story in the first mail are never real.
As for the "shopkeeper" there is a practice called window shopping and when you have a profile on here, everyone is in that window in which they choose to be in by their own free will and all it takes is for people to abide by the rules.

You really have to be on something quite strong to say nonsense like this
It’s not at all what the OP means, not even close
