"For this simple reason.
I get sick and tired of people messaging me questions and or asking for a meet or pics etc over and over and over again when it is plain to see they don't read and take on board what you said to them the last 8 or 9 times.
Example.
I cannot accommodate and I never will.
I state that in my profile while also stating I will only meet people who can accommodate AND at what times and days I CAN meet, which is weekdays and sort of school hours.
Then I get messages from people asking to meet them at my home at 8pm!!!
So I reply back saying I'm sorry but I can only meet people who CAN accommodate themselves during weekdays and school times, only to get a message back from them asking to meet behind some bushes on a wind swept pouring down night at 11pm........
So I message back again saying I can only meet people who can accommodate and at what times of the day I am able to.
I also get messages asking me for any pictures, so I look at the persons profile to see if they even come close to fitting the bill, and most of the time their profile says they cannot accommodate and live 200 miles away.
So I message back explaining while I do have pictures which are set to private, I will only send them if a meet looks at all possible to start with, but if you can't accommodate one the days and times I can meet AND \ OR live 200 miles away then I'm sorry I don't send pictures out as there isn't any point as a meet won't be possible.
A few days may go by and the same people start the same process of messaging AGAIN asking for a meet in the woods at midnight 200 miles away from home on a Saturday night.
This may go on for 8 or 9 times over some weeks and in the end I used to message back asking do they actually read what people send to them, or do they not read peoples profiles as we have gone on this merry go round a hundred times already and you don't seem to read what I say,
I say this because they need telling, they need to understand that they have to read and take on board what people say, but that then often lead to getting abusive messages back from them for some strange reason.
So, while I wanted\needed to explain to them that they need to read what people say in messages and read profiles properly, which will probably lead to them actually getting a meet, I don't want them being able to message back once they have been told enough is enough.
Sorry for the long post but I needed to explain as it isn't a **cowardly thing to do** Jenks1969 , it's the best way forward for both myself and the people who do not read before messaging.
Thankyou Rugby Does MFM & MissDeMena you got the point straight away."
well you always get stupid men messaging, just alter your message filter accordingly so higher cailbre of member can message you, either verfified/site supporter/have photos etc, these will get rid of alot of the time wasters who dont have profiles and dont read profiles
i love the logic thought of making a post on a forum to let the people who dont read profiles know what they need to hear haha, i get the feeling they dont read forums either! |
