I always try to answer every email or other message but when I get something from someone with a simple "I would like to talk to you" then I check out their profile and there is basically nothing there I am at loss and just want to ignore them. But I was brought up writing thank you notes so it is in my nature to respond.
If you are of this same mindset when would you consider not responding?

Well that goes without saying but I am talking about someone who may be interested but don't really have ths skills to express themselves.

Perhaps that falls inline with the naturally stupid idea but I really hate to assume that or be rude.

Tell me something I can respond to other than asking for info and giving me nothing; then, perhaps we can have some sort of dialogue confused

I started out answering every email, message & flower sent, but must shamefully admit that I don't anymore, I'll take a quick look and if there is no potential I don't bother, except for ones that have been really nice and I don't want to hurt their feelings, so I say thank you but... you want children I don't...etc

dunno It's simple stuff, really. When I get one of "those" emails, I just suggest that they join us in the forums to meet people, and wish them luck.handshake

I don't answer all e-mails especially from young men in their 20's. I don't see why they would be e-mailing me in the first place as it is somethings like I think you look hot.

I agree. Sometimes they are so rude, unbelievable. Mostly from young guys who only want one thing and aren't ashamed to tell you either.

I just block them and don't reply, I've no time to waste communicating with boring people who have nothing to say for themselves.

They bore me yawn just thinking about them.

I'd rather write to these 2 instead --> cheers they seem fun thumbs up

I just delete most of them myself, I am not interested in 24-27 year old girls from overseas. especially when they type in english worse than I do.
But some of my emails out must seem a bit strange, even if not looking to hook up, I dont mind writing a gal just to tell them that they are beautiful, funny, smart or whatever. but I try to make it clear that it is only for the compliment, make someone feel better.
But in those short messages I do not expect an answer back.

besides,, the hot ladies are right here in the forums!applause
