Some women are too cold hearted and stubborn
to remember anything important. Your assumption
was likely based on someothng in her profile. Perhaps
also something she said, and maybe she was one of yoru matches, thanks to Justsayhi.com. I've had a few that didn't really qualify. But instead of replying the hostile way she did, she should've said no, or that she doesn't. Just forget about her. There must be some girls on this site who are more worty. I'm still looking for such girls, myself.

All I can say is this...some people are bytches and some people are arrogant. Obviously you are lucky to find out that this person isn't worth wasting your time on! Just smile and move on..what more can I say?
When someone emails me, if I am not interested in them..I don't come off as a bytch. I usually just say sorry but I am not interested but it was very nice of you to email me! I think some people just don't care how others feel...do you really want them as your friend anyway?
Move on my friend flowerforyou

You know, something that I think we all know, about looking at/checking out profiles, is that it can be done with out sending a message. I think we also know, that it's not necessary to make a rejection response hostile.

Okay, someone that looked at my profile lives like 90 miles away from me...and I sent an email asking if she thought that was too far. She replies with an email telling me that I'm "arrogant" and why did I assume she wanted a relationship with me.

Okay, for one, she COULD have just said, "Yeah, it's too far." She told me that IF she was interested, then she would have written me. But it's still true that women usually expect men to make the first actual communication.

So...how is it "arrogant" to assume that someone has SOME interest in you because they took the time to actually look at or read your profile to see if there was anything there to maintain an interest?

I mean, even after reading things that send up a "red-flag" to me, I did have SOME kind of interest in the person whose profile I was looking at! I might say, "Oh, too far away, too bad." but even then there might be something about them that drew my interest ANYWAY.

I've asked a few people here what books they've read lately..even though I had NO intention of trying to hook up with them (for instance, one woman lives in Washington state, and I live in Florida--not really conducive to a personal meeting!)

So...again the question is how am I "arrogant"? Not saying that I'm NOT, by the way...but it's not like I came across like she was REEALLLY missing out on something here!


Welcome to the world of online dating. You'll meet all types out here in the Interweb.

I had one e-mail me saying how she wanted to marry me and bare my children. Keep in mind that this came from her FIRST e-mail to me, which is a tad unsettling no matter how you look at it. She also claimed that living over 800 miles away wasn't "all that far", either.

The profile I thought was a little "out there" was the one where she said she already had the church picked out?? Not here, another site, but ouch. I was interested initially but after reading THAT, I wasn't any longer!

But if she had MAILED me because I had looked at her profile, I wouldn't have mentioned that, but politely declined.

Where's "polite" and "well-mannered" in today's world?

that it is a 'dating' site? Did she not expect to receive some unsolicited e-mail? Instead of being annoyed or rude to someone who has taken the time to write me a note, I am pleased and maybe a little flattered...even if it is someone who I am not really interested in. After all, this is a 'dating' site isn't it?




Minor detail. Unwanted, maybe. Unsolicited, no. I would, however, consider email unsolicited if I received several from one person and never responded to one of them, and it persisted. Wait, that's stalking. laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh


I would think by then someone would of just said 'i'm not interested', or the other person would of realized that they are being a douche.


Perhaps I'm a bit more flexible that way. If a woman doesn't respond to an initial email, I assume either they're not interested or havn't been online in a while. I'd hate to be the yo-yo that plasters her inbox with noise.

I stand corrected...the very fact that she has joined this site would indicate a solicitation of sorts...a willingness to accept unwanted e-mail with the possibility of something whoe would not want to miss!

First email, Joe. Asking an opinion...not necessarily saying much more than that I was interested, potentially, if she was also interested?

Heck, the other day I sent someone mail from out of state...and she replied that she thought I was only interested in local people--from my profile.

I responded, well, for a ROMANTIC relationship, someone local works out a lot better for me, but there's nothing wrong in establishing a FRIENDSHIP based on common interests! So, not every single person I DO mail means that I'm interested in them romantically!
