i do not like woman who post on dating sites and do not reply to men who want to get to know them even if they are not interested they should say something.

I have to agree with you on this one, I have read many of these posted threads where they say their mailbox is far from full, and if they are not interested they should just drop a note to say that! I personally think it is just bad manners and boarderline rude. We woman want someone who is honest yet there are those of us who do not recipricate the same honesty by saying we are simply just not interested. Making a new friend is always an option. Don't give up...look at this way..she just wasn't the one! Good luck.

I started the thread about whether women's mailboxes were always stuffed partly to answer this question, because so many men report being igored. I am ignored constantly, all the time. Now I am old, another reason to not be interested, but is that a reason to ignore my messages completely? I wouldn't have thought it would be so difficult to type the one word message "sorry", but I don't even get that. So when I read on another forum on another site a woman complaining that her mailbox was always completely stuffed full, I thought that might explain it. It does seem that women do get a fair bit of mail (more that I do, that's for sure), but I still think there is something wrong.

I find people do not read the profile.If they did I would not be getting old men or 18 year olds. Sometimes I get interest from someone who wants a slim girl or they are 5'4.Hellooooo!!
Personally I will not answer people who obviously did not read my profile, are married or ask me if I want a good time(wink wink).I will answer sincere responses but the rest are deleted.

Personally, I always make a little note at the beginning when I am writing to someone whose profile indicated one thing but I think they might be interested anyway, but I know some men send out messages without that, in other words they do read the profile, but decide that maybe its worth a shot anyway.

Does that make them spam, to be ignored? Maybe.
I would think a single word "sorry" wouldn't hurt you,
but if you get dozens of them, I suppose that's too much to ask.

The thing is, an owful lot of women seem to have
rather unreasonable expectations in their profiles,
and if you never suggested they expand the envelope,
there would be few to write to.

I have the thought that the reason reply's dont come is people may be stuck on the idea that this is a dating site only and that dont give any thought to possable freindships,so when they see a note and check the profile they think oh! i dont want this guy or gal.just a thought i have.Who relly knows tho.

The world doesn't serve you well, Phoenix. You know there are some lonely compatible people in Boise for friendship or whatever, but your chances of finding them are low. That doesn't seem fair, to me. Why
doesn't the world provide quick ways of hooking you up with them, even if just for coffee and conversation?
There are fake ways, of course, come ons, but nothing that really works for them and for you. Sad.

I would also like to clarify that it is NOT just woman who do not reply, I personally have rec'd a total of 5 emails from different men and have replied to each one. However, I have sent out just as many and they ALL went unanswered. So you see eagle it is not just woman who post and do not reply it is men as well. I think everyone should take a class in good manners to learn that a simple "thank you for your email",or "not interested in a relationship",or "sorry I do not think we are capatible" reply would go a long way in improving the relationships between men and woman. PS in my last post on this subject I said,"those of us" I was referring to woman in general and not me personally I always send a reply.

I agree. I think people should take a min or two and reply to emails. However, it doesn't bother me too much if i don't hear back. I don't take it personally. I've sent my fair share of emails and have gotten some back but i haven't met anyone i care to talk to offline. Doesn't mean i won't but it's ok either way. I still think it's fun and u never know who's waitin for u around the corner.

I am just astounded now to have actually gotten into
a long e-mail conversation with a woman almost my own age, who writes very intelligently, is clearly well-educated, makes a lot of sense, and sent me a lovely photograph. Of course she lives half-way across the world away in India, but that's a mere detail. This was on another site, by the way. I have subscribed to several, to increase my odds. I think thats a good
idea, and would recommend it. ...... It began as a research project for
me.

Well said & I agree with you 100%. I think people are becoming very selfish & dont care about anyone else but themselves & their interests. It doesnt take much to be polite & treating others like you would yourself.

Most women have been very respectful, and if they weren't interested, they replied with a simple paragraph or two. Where I live on an island, I realize that finding a compatible match is difficult simply due to distance constraints. And then there are women who are simply "not interested", and that's ok with me, because for every door that closes another one opens! As for women who simply do not reply, I say it's really their loss. Like everyone else on the market here, we all have something different to offer, and when someone doesn't even take the time to reply, I ask myself, "What am I really missing out on?" It is also noteworthy ladies and gentlemen, what comes around goes around...if a woman/man EMails you, it is just as important for you to reply to them as it is for them to EMail you! Just remember what it feels like when your EMails go without responses...

I have had my share of 'no reply' from men. It does not bother me in the least. I take it as a sign that a friendship was not meant to be. And, some of the people that I have answered have been rude. Gosh, I even had one that would not talk to me because I went to a different kind of church. And let me tell you looks are not everything either. I actually went and met one of the men I had made friends with, very nice looking and made all that money that some of those other women are looking for, but what a SNOB. Bless his little heart, I hope he does not drown in one of our west texas storms. LOL Hmmmmmmm....It really does take all kinds in this world and not everyone is interested in just friends. So take heart, it is their lose, not yours.
Eagle151 my suggestion is to forget them and don't sweat the small stuff. Life is just too short to waste the energy on wondering why.

I HAVE STOPPED WASTING ENERGY TRYING TO MEET SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET. I SEND A MESSAGE TO SOMEONE AND IN A WEEK I DELETE FROM MAIL BOX IF I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM. BUT ONLY IF THEY HAVE OPENED THE MAIL OR FLOWER. I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME ANYMORE I HAVE MET A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THEY LIVE FAR AWAY BUT WE WRITE FOR NOW AND I HOPE WE ARE FRIENDS. AND WHO KNOWS IN OUR TRAVELS MAYBE WE WILL MEET AND HAVE DINNER TOGETHER AS FRIENDS. AND THAT WOULD BE FINE FOR ME TO.
I HAVE MET PEOPLE ON DATING SITES THAT LIVE FAR AWAY BUT STILL GOT TOGETHER FOR DINNER AND NOW WE ARE FRIENDS.
