Okay, so what happens to all those security guards that were hired to frisk people before they entered the bar to ensure they weren't carrying a weapon? (I know this happens because I experienced it in Texas) So this new law that allows people to bring their gun into a bar will actually create more unemployment, of course, the shootings will also create less people, so maybe it's a wash.
Why don't they take the $1 billion and buy an island somewhere that has built-in security barrier (water) and have the summit there every year? The U.N. could provide the much smaller security force including airspace coverage and we wouldn't have to put cities under siege for these types of meetings any longer.
I think if someone chooses to send a message to someone that clearly has indicated they are in a relationship, are here just for the forums, or who clearly does not meet the characteristics outlined in the profile, then they should not expect a response.
It is clear to me now that those that read the forums are also those that typically respond to messages from those that show interest. Unfortunately, those that choose not to respond aren't much into reading the forums. Thanks everyone.
I posted this in the Canadian Forums and should have posted it here as well....
So, most of us are on here to meet someone. In order to do that one must make contact. CS has provided a couple of ways to do that, send a message or send a flower. So, tell me people, what is the polite thing to do when you see a message in your mailbox/flowerbox, but you aren't necessarily interested in that person? Should you not even open it (I have encountered this often)? Should you just delete it? Or, should you respond with something like, "thank you for your interest, unfortunately I don't feel the same way", or, "you aren't what I am looking for." Yeah, that sucks, but at least it is nice courtesy, don't you think? Imagine getting up the courage in a bar to ask a lovely woman to dance and she simply turned her head and ignored you. Isn't this similar to the deleting of the message? Hey, I get it if the guy continues to bother you, then he has to be ignored, but a first contact, is that proper ettiquette? Just wondering.

I want to thank all of you who took the time to reply. Don't think we came up with a definitive answer, nor was I expecting one. As for the comment on whether or not I would be attracted to a bald woman, the answer is likely no. But, as with many humans, we are drawn to one another through the physical attraction, but I agree, what keeps us together is the emotional, intellectual and philosophical aspects of the individual. So, although not initially attracted to the bald woman, if I were to get to know her in a social setting, there is nothing to suggest I couldn't be attracted to her.
