I think they should.
For one, it is common courtesy and two, you don't leave them hanging and don't waste their time....Does any one agree?

Thanks in advance

It is a common courtesy but not everyone is going to send an e-mail back. If you do not get any reply back just take it as a "not Interested". Sometimes people don't log on for a while too so that may be some of it.


I don't see how not replying to a flower or e-mail is wasting your time though. You took a chance and not all are going to respond. If they don't then they really haven't wasted your time really...you tryed.

I dont always respomd back/ It can be for a variety of reasons. --I simply don't have time and it slips my mind when I do. -- I wasm't interested at all. -- Too many things didn't macth my match basics so I feel like they didn't take time to read it so why should I take the time to say no thanks.

I don't see why people want to be told "not interested". I sure don't. I call them "thanks but you suck" letters and I don't wanta waste my time reading one.

The vast majority of women that I send an email to never respond at all.

It seems to be the standard thing that women do.

It's no wonder that some men use form letters and a shotgun approach. They figure if they send out about 100 emails they might get one or two responses.

You might look like a total jerk to 99 women, but if you hook up with one that's all you really wanted right?

The shotgun method might be the way to go. After all, it does seem like such a waste of time to write out a nice personal letter tailored to one woman whose profile you've read intently only to have her delete the damn think and ignore you.

How man woman are you going to do that for before you start to realize that they seriously don't appreciate the effort? dunno

I agree with you, it is common courtesy. Even if you are not interested, they have a right to know.

Thank you for clarification PTG....Although most demographic information is plain simple, I still think that this type of communication does not speak to "chemistry" in person that much. The global exposure one gets, of course, is a big plus....

Take care

In response to Adracadabra,

I agree totally, except I will still spend the utmost effort to make my note personal. After all, I am writing to a woman who might become my future significant other, no matter how slim the chances might be statistically.

Thank you for your opinion.

Well, if you dont want to date them thats fine, but doesnt mean you have to quit talking to them. You could get to know them and be friends with them.
