If telling them you have a man doesn't keep them from hitting on you, tell them you used to be a man.

That still won't stop All Men... After all, in the Dark **** Don't Care for most....

I rather see that men learn to respect women as opposed to we having to resort to all kinds of BS. We've had to do that for thousands of years. As far as I'm concerned it's been enough!
Thank goodness Dutch men in general are quite okay. Not all of course, but most are.

I prefer my women on the natural side.

What? I guess we are supposed to ignore them and assume they do not exist unless they tell us otherwise!

Funny that you think that's funny. I hope you realize what that says about you? ...

The funny part was, you've had to do that for thousands of years.

Humm myself a little flirting does not hurt anyone.. Kind of puts a smile on my face when I'm face to face with someone and they flirt..it's a boost to the old self esteem at times to know they have noticed..

Great attitude.

I hope you realize what that says about you...

I have a sense of humor and not a bitter, old man?

Yeah...had enuff of it...i give up..

It is not so much being 'tired' of it, who does not
appreciate an honest, affectionate hit?

But when the comments get to be the same, you are
called the same name as many others ('baby' for example)
you can tell you are not the only one on the string.

Being one of many is no woman's ideal mate.

So the solution to (online?) guys sending emails hitting on women is to respond to people and give them conversation, which might not actually deter them?

Whenever I went into Wal Mart there were always people that immediately stopped me to sell me something (offer me a free gift card! ...for something in return. Or ask about my cable provider, or my energy provider).
I hated that they'd stop me, that they'd say anything to me at all.
So I stopped stopping to talk and say no politely. I ignored them.

Then Wal Mart started letting them solicit all throughout the store. So even though I ignored the first kiosk by the door, I'd get hit on the second, third, or fifth kiosk by sporting goods, in the store.
I ignored those too.

Last time I was in Wal Mart I had people that look kinda like shoppers (small little whatever company name tag somewhere on their person) stop and ask me a general question or small talk, and then go into asking me "salesman" questions (who's your cable provider, do you want a free gift card, do you use the local power company).

I just don't go to Wal Mart anymore.
I don't think the answer to hating being approached and annoyed by salesman is to stop, engage in conversation but tell them lies or stories.
Even ignoring them doesn't always work as they just adapt around it forcing you to adapt in improving ways of ignoring them.

I don't get hit on a lot, so it doesn't bother me.

I don't get hit on much in real life because I go to work and I am quite a homebody.
The population in my town is 50,000.

On Mingle2, yep. But hey, it is a dating site. I never message men first, but I have a steady stream to block.

What tires me is the unoriginality of their first messages.
True gems are nice and I have made some nice male friends?

The population of my town is 5,000 so not much chance of getting hit on

Oh, that is not many to choose from

I know, considering females and children are included in the census so not many men to be found here
