Some people get mad at a rejection email. The easiest way to avoid that is not to respond to those who they're not interested in. So, I can see why people don't respond.

that's what I thought when I started this. but all I seem to get is a bunch of people who don't understand the post saying to get over it.

I know isn't that nuts. I have a friend who has 100"s of friends and doesn't know any of them.

if there is just cause for the red flag then that is a good reason to deny some one.

what I'm talking about is women saying you didn't write enough so I'm not even going to view your profile.

I taste lead in my mouth, are we in China yet?

This thread is still going?? What the hell!?



You did NOT just say that!


That's the best giggle I've had today!

If I want to see hundreds of statues, I'll go to the art museum.

After all these pages, you're still wondering what to do about that?

9 pages about nothing. Nothing to see here folks.

it's nine pages yes but very few comments about the topic.

and really I didn't expect to get any response to the post. I was kinda expecting it to be just a statement. once it was misconstrued I felt the need to clarify.

No .. I don't do the 'thanks but no thanks' anymore, because a lot of men are babies. Just because I am nice enough to answer their mail and explain I date younger, and wish them well .. they begin name calling and worse.

No thanks is right. Right from the beginning.

There were plenty of comments. Here's another one. Expect nothing and you wont feel disappointment.

Absolutely. MY Space is a waste of MY time. I have industry people on there I keep for contact sake. That's it.

Oh ya. And play Mobsters

Oh now come on... look at all the threads that have less than THIS to look at. Puhleeze.

I think it fits in rather nicely

I guess you're right... as usual.


does any one have a gun to put this thread out of it's misery?

I can only look at a train wreck so long before the dead bodies start to stink.

Mmmmm I love pie!

Actually, there were a bunch about the topic. Maybe you missed them?

maybe you're trying too hard??

Hi Flyace,
I tried to e-mail this to you, but your criteria, blocked this from being sent, because of my age. In response to the forum, that your not getting
a reply on woman you show an interest in, I'd just like to say, when I first started web dating, I felt this compelling urge, not to be rude, to reply
and explain each and every e-mail of interest from guys, I wasted a lot of my time, trying not to hurt their feelings...But then I realized,
why should I?
They are the ones wasting my time. On my profile, I have specific things that I am looking for in a match, and I would receive e-mails from 20-something year old boys, Hello!, I'm almost 52. I have kids older, or maybe e-mails from those that don't smoke. I do, and that in itself
doesn't make for a good match. Or I get e-mails from guys, that live across the universe, what's the point in getting involved in a long distance
relationship. I've even received e-mails from women. YUK!
My point is a lot of people just look at a persons photo and don't bother to really take the time to read a persons profile, to see they have
nothing in common. So now I feel, if they didn't have the courtesy to read what I was looking for, then they don't deserve a response.
I believe, things happen for a reason.
Don't settle for anything less than you are really looking for. Keep looking! And someday, that almost perfect person will come along,
and that will be the relationship your looking for, worth putting your energy into
100%.
I hope this helps. Smile; By the way, you are very handsome...
Sincerely, Miss Julie

thanks for the post. I totally agree with you. if some one obviously did not read your profile or gave a "hey" email then drop them. those are the looky loos and should be ignored. but if they did read your profile and you don't it's rude. almost all the profiles I read say "if you don't read my profile don't message me" what if I did read it and get ignored just the same as if I didn't. why should I read any of them if its just a crap shoot. if you look and say well just not for me fine but if he took the effort to read yours then he should at least get a response. which is the point I was trying to make. one liners forget em. but if some one takes the time to read and refer to and relate to your profile in a 4-5 sentence well written paragraph. the least some one can do is give them a thanks but no thanks. like the guy said you can even keep one generic on on file in word and cut and paste it. takes 10 seconds. any way I'm way over it I didn't even care that much to begin with.
