I always reply at least once or twice....to be friendly, but if i am not interested in taking it further I wont. I am glad to be anyones friend in the forums...PM's are different though.

I assume most women think us men are creepy, especially when we are over 30!

I am a pig, yes, not creepy! I am not a Devil's Reject!

what are you doing answering emails, get yourself down here on the beach with meeeeeeeeeee!!!

i "usually" do, but if it's just a 'hi' from a shirtless guy grabbing at his you know whats, i don't.

I just dont get it, enlighten me. I have so many guys tell me that they are shocked that I answered their email.

Why should that be shocking.

If someone takes their time, and directs it to me by emailing me, the very least I could do, would be to email them back. I answer all my emails, I would think it rude not to.

They dont always get the answer they want to hear. I usually read their profile, (no matter if I think their picture is cute or not),and respond knowing their profile when I do. If they are too young(which happens alot to me) I simply tell them that, and I usually add in that I hope they arent hurt, mad, or disappointed. If they dont live near me its easy, because I already have a boyfriend all the way across the country. And if im just plain not interested, I just say,"sorry, but I am not interested at this time, but thank you for considering me".I think thats a nice tactful way to say it. I dont expect men to be perfect, and I certainly dont judge them, who am I, or are we, to do that??? I just think, it would be nice, if more women responded to their emails.You have to have at least once written someone, and they didnt write back...how did it make you feel??? Terrible huh? So at least be nice enough to say "no thank you". JMO.

P.S. I also write in the end of every letter that I write ..."Good luck in finding your dream girl".

I email back most of the time. Most of the time I'm just getting perved with no convo. It makes me feel like a piece of meat.

You know, when I first signed on here, I used to send some e-mails out to some local people. And I never got a reply. Not one. So I just stopped! If I wanted to be ignored, I could have stayed married!

I suspect, based on my own experience, and many others I've heard, that it is sort of unusual for a guy to actually get a response. I know I'd never send anyone a first message again!

ah, but you're not your average bear either.
i want to thank you lov2rocknroll from all
us men out there. thank you for pointing
out the lack of some ladies manners by not
at least saying no thank you to men who
message them. you are of a handfull
i know that answers out of kindness and courtesy
and understanding that life is a two way street.

I completely understand why people ignore e-mails from those they're not interested in. They can get some pretty nasty responses when they try to be nice and tell them they're not interested. Also, sometimes people get too many to respond to all. There's all kinds of reasons.

Personally, I would rather be ignored than sent an e-mail saying they were not interested. I really don't like those one liner responses that obviously show disinterest either, just ignore my message rather than waste my time with those.
