Tumpa: When I first attempted this whole internet thing, I was indeed sensitive and so it bothered me. At this point, I care not, since it indicates immediately a non interest, which is better than any lead on or garden path encounter.
Women are generally meticulous, a beautiful quality. They look at simple things, like expression. For example....."there emails" as opposed to "their emails" or better yet "one's emails". Next, it helps to have a photo. After all, you could be any nutter......

It bothered me too to the point that I took it personally. I won't say that I don't care anymore, but I think it is insensitive when someone can't take a minute to respond. I guess this is one of those times that a lie is okay, such as, thank you but I'm involved with someone. But then they have to have a good memory and remember when they are in the threads.
I've told this before but it's worth mentioning in this thread.
I wrote to a man that is no longer on CS. He was very well liked and I sent him a short note just to give him the idea that I thought he was nice. He wrote back "I have no romantic interest in you". I could have done without that. I can't honestly say whether I would have preferred that he didn't respond or the way he responded.

Thats very true! Im always a little unsure of someone that doesnt have a photo up...
That may be wrong, and overly suspicious, but that's just the way it is..
iceman88: it really pisses me off
Well here's the thing. Since 95% of these mails are from people either seeking to get my e-mail address or trying to give me theirs. My reply is usually this. "Did you not read the rules about giving out your phone number and address to people you don't know? There are a lot of scammer on here you must be careful"? They are scammers so they never respond back, but I had one idiot who mailed me and I gave him the advice, a few letters more and he was back to trying to give me his address. I just blocked him. So the only people I've been offending are scammers and time wasters.
I use to reply with a polite thankyou, but no thankyou but some got nasty so I just quit replying...........then they get nasty when you don't reply.
Sometimes you just can't win.........

it pisses me off as in the currrent economic climate i was made redundant.i put in for jobs i have a great cv yet no answers.
steelman73: reply reply reply thats what i do theyve taken the time to write it so you should reply back
I always write a very polite note back.
if i had never talked with that person before and they don't reply, i take the hint and leave them alone.
if i have talked to them, maybe they are busy, and will get back to me.
i taught my kids to try to get along with people in school/work environment type situations.
but outside of that, you don't have to play with anyone that you don't want to.

I hear you there. Many of us the world over are in this boat, it is the same everywhere.
I dread to think that the days our Parents and G-Parents envisioned of Jobs growing into the future may be over, by the standards of their time.
We have to do something to turn it around for the future.

I never worry much about giving out my email address I usually keep about 5 of them, if one get overwhelmed with spam I just delete it. I do have 2 that I protect with my life, one for family and friends the other for my business. These are both tied to my phone so I never gives those out until I know they will be I protect these like I do my cell phone#.

Very True.
But I feel that if the person made the effort to contact me, he deserves a polite reply.
Even now, though we announced and I changed my profile to reflect it, I still get emails of interest.
I still write a polite email thanking them, complimenting them and letting them know we announced here in cs. I then suggest to them that they join the forums b/cthat is a good way to meet, get to know others their values, morals, etc. And a good way to make friends. Then Wished them luck in their search.
The last three days, I had some Im's that popped open w/o the would you like to speak to this Cs member,( I hate those, that just pop open), I did the same thing there.
I ended up helping three nice guys get started. One guy moved back and forth from the forums to the Im getting guidance. That was fun helping them get started. So hopefully if these guys stay, we will have some new blood here.
The ones that I have a problem with are the ones that you tell no to and they will nae accept it. They get nasty and call you player, etc.
They are the ones that I would never contact if I found myself single again and looking.
The ones that thanked me and wished us the best would be the first to get a chance if I were again looking.

"It doesn't bother me at all."

its tiny little people in a box far far away

oh, i didn't mean that i would be rude or anything.
the question asked how i felt about not being answered.
i was kind of saying no one has to talk to me that doesn't want to, and some people are uncomfortable saying," hey,um, yeah. this just isn't doing it for me."

Hey, here we don't have our own employees for our fan club. Doing it ourselves can be hard.
Snuggs09: I feel the same way Petal. It's not polite but this is cyberspace so I guess anything goes.
Another thing that annoys me, but I don't want to do a thread about it is, I have noticed that certain people write a thread and if you aren't one of their favorite people, they won't reply to your post. I try to get along with people that I know don't like me by being polite when I reply in their thread, but the same people all the time ignore my post and go on to reply to the next person. I think it's rude but then what do I know. I'm worried about someone hearing me pee in the ladies room

Hi Snuggs, Just read your comment, and fully agree with you!
Only, I have also written on your Posts, even commenting on your nice Pic to never get a reply from you....
As you well say, and I agree even if you are not best friends, it´s out of being Polite, that´s all!
iceman88: it really pisses me off
i think its rude not to reply.............its simple courtesy. I do reply and if im not interested then its no big deal i just don't fuss
fraustrating
sultryash: hey the world is made up of all kinds............i would think twice before telling someone "you're not my type" we dont know we are dealing with at the other side of this but kind words said in a respectful manner can get us the desired results, however Silence can also work if you realise you might be dealing with a difficult person.JMO
I've never said that but I was saying at least getting that as a reply back would be better than nothing in my opinion.krisdoja: I've never said that but I was saying at least getting that as a reply back would be better than nothing in my opinion.
oh ok .......yes i agree
Gosh people must find me terribly ignorant, I only answer to those who I know...
Sommerauer71: Gosh people must find me terribly ignorant, I only answer to those who I know...
I don't necessarily think so its your prerogative to answer to who you want to but personally i think if someone took the time to read my profile and then email a "hi" then it cant hurt to return the same courtesy. I dont have to follow up beyond that if i don't want to.
hey we cant please everyone right

Just seeing you when I get on here pleases mehey we cant please everyone right
krisdoja: Um... this is connecting singles right? Did you already know people on here before you came? How would you get to know anyone?
I did actually, I came over here on the recommendation of a friend, when a board where people do know how to debate closed down.
And in that 18 months, I snagged myself a few friends and a man.
So yes, I only answer emails to people I know, either from the forums or personal friends.
Usually I don't even open them if I don't recognise the name, sometimes I will, but rarely. I just delete them.
Discerning I am. Has nothing to do with being polite for me, it is because I am not interested at all in more friends or by a potential debate..
