Honesty!! Honesty!! Honesty.......... It is by far the best policy.
You know that it is heading no where, why not? I would be willing to bet they would not give you that same courtesy...........

A usually(even if its just a HI sorry but not really interested), sometimes B if the first comment to me is too creepy, or strange.

If it's an e-mail, I'll pretty much talk to anybody, assuming it's not an obvious scammer/spammer. Those I just report. Once in awhile, I'll send a note back to a scammer/spammer, explaining why it was a bad idea to write to me, and asking them to use a little more discretion in the future, seeing as how their current account is about to be erased.

If it's a nudge from a stranger, I generally won't respond. Nudges from people I know, that's different. Those are OK. But if it's a stranger, she really needs to have something to say, something worth reading, and a nudge isn't gonna do it.

For me, it isn't really a matter of whether it's the type of person I would date, since none of those seem to use any dating sites!

I always respond and in a non-offensive way I try to place words on the screen that explain why we are not a good match. Just say something like based on our profiles I don't think we would get a long that well. Or you can always say, I am just here to meet friends right now, not ready for dating. . .

Of course if they are in INDIA I dont even bother replying. Nothing against indians if they were local maybe. But not interested in LDR

I tend not to ignore emails unless they're so poorly written that it's hard to tell what they're saying, or they're rude.

suppose you get a message from a guy/girl and
they really are not the type of guy/girl that
you date

A) should you answer them anyways, and explain
to them "hi but you are really not my type
of guy."
B) ignore their message.
C) answer and message them back and forth.
D) pretend that they really are your type
of person and plan a meeting with them even
though you know its not going to go anywhere.

When I first joined in the threads, a big theme was,
the chica's never answered the chico's mail.
So I determined to answer them all.
So, I had a standard, 'thank you very much, my plate
is full just now, best of luck', mingle mail for replies.

Angry rataliatory replies came back to me.
(Mon, if you ever want to know someone's true disposition,
see how they handle rejection.)

So then, still trying to be honest and forthright, I would
send out a standard, thank you very much, but I like to
meet people after I have engaged with them in the forums,
here is how you get to them, blah blah.

Anger again, 'Are you too good for me?'
'I don't need to 'ho myself in the forums.'

Now, I mostly ignore them.
Maybe you can see the evolution of why.
You can't make everyone happy. Please yourself.

As a side note..I still have some great pals that
replied back again, were polite, understanding, and we
still laugh in the forums. I admire them. They would
be the pool from which a prospect might be culled.
There is a lesson here :-)

It all depends on the email.
They may not be my type but could make an excellent friend.
The vulger emails I get occasionally I simply ignore.
Not everyone has to be my dating type.
I am here to make friends of both genders.
Or sometimes I simply just say thank you but I am not interested.

it depends upon the message, if its a simple hi,than I would probably say hi back

if there is something else, like 'when can we hook up' or some other question that implies they have a social interest,,,

I ignore it,,
