Seldom to never... at least for dating. Now, if I run across an outstanding wit of a man... or woman, I will gladly let them know I appreciate the effort they put into their profile.
And this really IS the whole point, isn't it? We expect manners & respect... so as long as we give that a try, the final push might be a bit brutal but it is meant to be final.
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.
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.
It happens to most of us... we post what we want & those who want something outside the parameters of what we state simple want to see if they can push us into changing our minds. Seems to be a common idea... push until someone yields. Personally, I find the whole pushy behavior most unappealing.
