how ignorant do people find it when there emails are not replied to (94)
I agree..a brief thank-you is sufficient....it doesn't take much time. I am always impressed when someone replies to me....it's normal courtesy..
sultryash: 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

I don´t intentionally ignore emails received, its just that they end up down the list as more come in and I forget about them. I find if I don´t answer straight away I forget.

STOP CHANGING YOUR PROFILE PIC, SULTRY, Its confusing me!!
I agree with the above point, and also just wanted to say you are a very welcome addition to these forums. Its nice to see yet another woman with beauty AND brains here...
sultryash: you got that right kris........too young for moi !!
Sommerauer71: 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..
So could you and I never be friends since we don't know each other or would it take time in the forums?And in that 18 months, I snagged myself a few friends and a man.

Normal courtesy?
Yes, in a day to day to situation, like if you have a dinner invitation, I find it courteous to respond with a note back stating whether I can make it or not.
But to a guy that I don't know? That I m not likely to meet and who I don't ever have any interest in whatsoever?
I have seen what people can do from just a simple 'thanks but no thanks'
Nope, I am happy with pressing delete.
If someone takes the time to write I will reply it is the polite thing to do, even the scammers get a reply, it may not be a nice reply but I reply all the same

im sorry
and thank you very much...........i guess im not a "Newbie" anymore
krisdoja: So could you and I never be friends since we don't know each other or would it take time in the forums?
I have been here 18 months, I don't have many friends, I am simply here for banter in the forums, those I am close to, around half a dozen, who three I have met.
I don't want more friends, I have enough.
Cold Ice Princess me.
After seeing you around the forums, and you mailed me, then I would respond.

Agreed....and that likely, more than half the time, has not even bothered to read my profile!!

Hey Sommer..... I was just commenting on something that happened to me, that´s all, it does´nt bother me at all...
I just figure I am Polite....some people complain about stuff they even do themselves....
You know i believe in you, plus you are totally sweet!!!!!!!!
krisdoja: Um... this is connecting singles right? Did you already know people on here before you came? How would you get to know anyone?
well said opposites attract do they not or does that just work for paula abdual loldunny2: Agreed....and that likely, more than half the time, has not even bothered to read my profile!!
Yes, mine clearly states I am here for the forums.
I spend less time emailing than probably most others do, because I am not here for s relationship, I do my emailing privately not here. Usually with someone from the forums about a comment I have written or if one of my friends have something to tell me.

Hi Ashes
Hello my lovely.
Oh don't get me wrong, whatever other people do is up to them and certainly I support them, I just choose not to respond to people I do not know on a private basis, here I will for the purpose of a discussion
Unlike yourself of course, and thank you, as you are...

Thank you sultryash, I think so too.

well goodnight everyone .......do have an enjoyable weekend and keep smiling... .it was nice being here 
.it was nice being here 
after a year of being on dating sites I have learnt to get over it if I dont get any replys to emails from my own country but I do get them from the rest of the earth
So to every one else get over it and move on ,live another day
and wait till tomoro there might be one in your inbox
keep living in the land of hope that one day the earth might fix itself and we can all get together as one

doesn't bother me at all - i tend to like to read the posts and the forums and enjoy all the interaction!
It's FUN!

I try to thank people for kind gestures like flowers or compliments. I say things like:
"thank you, very kind. Enjoy CS"
or
"Appreciated. Best of luck finding "her" "
Never fails, I get the leachy weirdo who just keeps sending me poetic pros or creepy messages, even after I point out my profile clearly states I am only interested in friends.
"I've found a soft lady in you, haven't I? HAVEN'T I?"
"I'd say go punch yourself but that would be rude and passive aggressive."
...*ummm ewwww... BLOCK!
The newbies can give their replies & learn for themselves but I've been around long enough to learn, not everyone get a response.
If there is some basic level reason why I do not wish to respond...
I WONT.
Period.

I'm sorry..
Lagoona22: No, seriously...give a thought to this...I think most men here have no clue what it's like as a woman, to get an avalanche of mail because you're cute/hot/new/showing flesh/whatever..to see all those mails in that Inbox must be like a chore after a while...after the first day of it, I'd probably just delete the whole lot!!!...
Well, I wouldn't go that far...
but simply being female & single does seem to send out some kind of "bat signal" to the oddest of people
&
trying to be polite is a bit like tossing petrol on a matchstick.
I guess I'm just tired of being a source of wood fire.
Yeppers....sometimes mail here is like getting mail in RL....when you look in the postbox, you are relieved to find it empty, because you mostly just get bills anyway!!...
