"Iv sent many a message with quality content lol always put something in about the person/persons profile and a bit about myself. When the receiver deletes without reading or reads and no reply it can be very disheartening... Very rarely these days do I send messages" I totally get how that is a pain. From the other perspective, some has put some thought and effort into their profile. It is disheartening is anvery similar way to receive messages with something you clearly address in your profile. Take our profile for example, we say that we never meet spontaneously and yet we receive probably 10 messages every day with 'free now' | |||

"I understand what you mean, although I probably have less experience in dealing with messages. Was recently talking to a woman, who initiated contact with me first (this is important). We sent a few messages as introductions and then I was hit with “so what are you willing to do to have sex with me” and then told me what another guy was willing to do. Seriously. Sometimes I wonder what the point is " That's a shame. Unfortunately there are many people here just to have their egos stroked, both men and women. I truly hope you didn't give her the satisfaction of a reply. | |||

"I replied that I hoped she enjoyed what was on offer elsewhere and left it at that.. Well, you're a gent. More than she deserved xx" Maybe I am! Call me crazy, but I go by a rule that says if you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face then you shouldn’t put it in a message. And I imagine my reaction in person would have been the same, while truly struggling to understand what makes people think they can say that to someone | |||

"The mindset of so many men on here seriously baffles me. Some of the messages our couple profile gets beggars belief, so I can only imagine how much worse it is for single women on here. I honestly don't know what it is men expect us or C to think or do when they send us cock pics especially when the first thing our profile states is DO NOT SEND COCK PICS. "Oh wow, yours looks so much different and better than all the rest. C seriously must have this one and right now". Lol They wouldn't just walk up to a woman at a meet and greet and wave their cock in her face so why should it be different here. Sometimes we send a cock pic back and when they ask why we tell em "Well you sent us one so we thought we would send one back". You should try it sometime. Lol. It usually works wonders and gets the point across. It's funny if nothing else. "I'm free now if you fancy a bit". "Oh yes, hold on, no problem, C will just drop everything she is doing and drop her life and routine to come running to you so she can drop her knickers for you simply because you are free and it's what you want". And then there are the ones who won't take a hint or no for an answer when you try to be polite. We had the same guy message us on five or six different occasions and each time we told him that we had already politely explained to him that we weren't interested. We eventually ended up blocking him. Then there are ones whom, just because you have exchanged a few messages, turn round and say "So when are you free?" "Ummmmm you're making the bold assumption we are interested in meeting. We don't even know what you look like". Judging by a lot of messages, some of them seem to overlook that it's a couple's profile and talk to C as if she is single and I don't even exist. The ones that really annoy me though are the ones who go on and on at C about how wonderful she is and how they would so love to meet, etc etc and then when they finally get their chance they flake or go all silent then usually come up with some bullshit excuse about how they got called into work or something came up. "That's fair enough, things happen, but you can't take just 30 seconds to send a text and let her/us know instead of wasting our time. Common courtesy." I remember one guy arranged a time and place with us for a social meet. We were sat in the bar at 7pm like we'd arranged and there was no sign of him. We messaged him about 8 and the cheeky bugger then turned round and said he is having a few drinks with a friend in another part of Belfast but would be round after. He thought it would be ok to just keep us on hold and that we would just sit waiting for him. Another guy ended up coming to meet us at short notice then eventually around 11pm the first guy messaged asking where we were. Unbelievable the nerve of some people. Lol So....in short...... Some people on here really suck. Lol The decent people we have met on here make it all worthwhile. Anyhow, rant over. I feel so much better now. " Couldnt put that any better to be honest. | |||

"An interesting thread, albeit these threads are getting a little boring. First thing to point out is that it isn’t just single men who send ill thought out, stupid messages. Plenty of couples and single women do as well. Yet for all these stupid messages, the people receiving them don’t seem to adjust their own approach to reduce the impact of receiving them. Single men moan about messages from other single men yet don’t take the easy step of blocking single men ? Lots of people put up meets or sometimes graphic status updates and then wonder why their profile gets inundated with crude, badly thought out mails from time wasting men. Many couples and single women on here block single men and will get in touch via a wink or a mail with those they are interested in directly, thereby avoiding the need to have an inbox full of crude, badly written messages from the timeswasters and fantasists on here. I’m sure I stand to be corrected but it would appear this approach works for them and it certainly makes sense to me. But then perhaps secretly, lots of people, men, women and couples like the attention regardless of the content. An empty mailbox can be a lonely place for some. That’s my ten cents." Well said!! | |||

"We've been knocking around this lifestyle for a good few years and we've noticed a significant decline in quality messages. Aside from the bog standard...hey bbe want sum fuk? I'm more talking about people not bothering to read a single part of a profile and lashing out a message highlighting as such. Or the alternative is the god awful copy and paste. The perfect message for us is to have someone tell us what they like about our profile or ask us something based off our profile so that we could actually start a conversation. I am grateful that you took the time to read my rant. I feel better now." The main problem with message standards is that as a guy I can write a well thought out introduction having read the other persons profile and seeing what interests we may have in common etc etc and then you send it and quite a high percentage of the time it is bulk deleted so why would one bother? I have genuinely had more luck with a bog standard " like the profile drop me a line if you want me to send you a proper message with photo" | |||

Very rarely these days do I send messages" I'm much the same... my last 4 or 5 different meets were from those who messaged me first. I haven't sent a first message with intent of meet in many months. Only ones are from forums when lending support or those flirt forums which are just games people play to pass the time away. You only meet those who are interested so I've now let it come to me. No more watching a carefully written message read and deleted. | |||

"Might I suggest rather than moaning about the standard of mail both women and cpls receive ye might pick up ur typing finger and start mailing guys ye fancy you know take that first step. Read the profile and build a mail encompassing somethings from his profile putting a little effort into using the site as ye would like others to do rather than moan about it " Wanna fuck? | |||

"Well we thought that putting effort into a good and precise profile might lead to better quality and interesting messages. In most cases, sadly we were mistaken. On a positive note though, the odd one does surprise us every so often but thats seldom...... Live and hope eh " There's gems amongst the rough they are here | |||

There’s always been a percentage of people who’d send effortless messages - there’s just more of them around these days, maybe | |||
