To top it off, their email then has only one to two sentences, ie “Hello, how are you doing today?”

I feel bad not responding, but I just don’t understanding this behavior.

You will say they didn’t read the profile, but it is in my profile header as well.

confused

Others repeatedly view the profile...why?

Anyway, that’s my dilemma for the hour.

I think the more relevant question would be:

Why have an active profile on a dating site if you are not looking???!!!!!!

This has been said many times before, but the answer is I enjoy the community, the blogs and the forums.

Truth is most of them dont even read your profile. They pick women out at random and send them the same generic message joping to catch someone by shotgunning.

Because we are given that option...
As well as being married.
That's why!

I can't really understand why someone would put a profile on a dating site then complain about getting messages........

I'd expect you to be more unhappy if you did not get messages......

Still, you can't please all of the people all of the time........

On the contrary...they add to the fun.applause

I am not annoyed by sincere messages..I appreciate them as anyone would....but these really are not when they ignore what I said on the profile.

Many also get angry at perceived rejection if you don’t return the feeling.

Just easier to not get involved in such conversations, esp when they start off with “Hello dear...how are you...” and that’s basically it.

dunno

I continue to get mails from men who are too young for me that is why I'm not looking.If I was I'd being searching for someone in the real world.

I recall some months back when a man in his 50's became all rude and nasty within the blogs cause I told him I wasn't interested in him.He had also made some nasty remarks to me about me in another bloggers blog topic.

Some women bloggers had made the assumption that I had the intention of becoming involved with that particular man which was far from the truth.giggle I had to enter a particular blog topic and let them all know that I didn't wish to become involved with that man.

He is right .
Although I would equate it with a machine gun in an amateur's hand. It shoots continuously at no particular target and hopes that somebody yelps when hit laugh
