Hi all just wondering how people react to messages from people they not interested in.
I always answer even if I suspect it's a scam but then I really like talking to people. If I'm not romantically iclined toward the person I'll say so nicely but offer to keep chatting and make a new friend. How do you react and do you like to be treated?

No I do not respond to all email, in fact very few unless I know them from the forums and just delete alot as I simply aint interested. Some say it is impolite but I am not spending hours replying yes, no thanks etc etc.

I always try to respond. I feel if they take the time to send me a note whether I'm enterested or not, just out of respect and also being a gentleman. It is usually at least a thank you for showing an interest.

I guess that shows the value of posting on the forums.

it depends on whats in the email. if i have to take them to the lab to put the sentences together, no i don,t reply back, or if they are just plain out of hand, hell no, and if you suspect it,s a scam, don,t reply, you sound to me that you have a good heart, a scammers dream...remember they like to talk also...be polite when it,s warranted, and give what ever responce you want if its not, but choose your words wisely, people disapear on this site, some with out even knowing why..good luck

Thanks for the advice. I don't mind the scammers. I don't send them money and kind of find them funny - brings a giggle to my day.
Thanks also for the compliment- "you sound like you ave a good heart". Have a great day.

I do respond most of them and try to be polite and clear.
