Don't let the ar**holes over shadow the good people, there are plenty that are genuine and amazing, you just have to ignore the negative ones. X

Depends what you feel is ignorant

Not answering messages isn't ignorant.

No reply whether opened or not is probably a no... Delete your sent box and forget about stuff instead of torturing yaself over what it means if it's read, not read, deleted blah blah blah...

"Why is it not?"

If you mean not replying, because it's accepted as a Fab norm. It's in the FAQ you should have read when you joined.

I find it really ignorant when I have my profile on show, with the entire profile text saying that my inbox is only open because of the forums and that I won't reply to any other messages because I won't be interested in them, yet I still get messages that have nothing to do with the forums.

Likewise, I find it even more ignorant when people can't read the FAQ and find out that no reply = not interested.

"Why is it not?"

If that was for me, it isn't ignorant because some women get so many, they couldn't reply to all.

Plus most don't read a profile, so why should people reply to those.

I've just deleted 2 messages without replying, not ignorant at all, neither were within my stated criteria so why would i bother engaging?

Yes. Not reading profiles, or scattergun messages, is pretty ignorant too.

(Before anyone comes at me about filters, my filters are currently set to "no". And it doesn't excuse rudeness by those messaging)

I do believe even the most ignorants they will know straight forwards a msg not replied or not delected but ignored would mean NO simple as that , there's not such thing here as ignorant , what yes exist is some people can't just accept the fact of receiving a NO

My current profile - when it's on show - is seven words long. Still get messages saying how great my profile and pictures are though

The wrong impression?!

Ok

If you walk up to me in a bar, talk to me and I ignore you and walk away, you know I’m not interested

If you walk up to me in a bar, talk to me and I ignore you, YOU STILL KNOW IM NOT INTERESTED

Jesus

This winds me up more than it should. I’ve been accused of ‘leading men on’ because I read their message and didn’t delete it straight away

Like ????? How am I leading you on

If someone is interested, they will reply to you

THIS!!! I get bombarded by people outside of what I’m looking for. Fortunately the majority try the one message then leave me alone when I just delete it. There are a few however who won’t f*ck off and I end up having to block them.

Yes is yes.

Anything else, assume no unless/ until told yes.

Like others, we are genuinely curious.

What do you class as ignorant??

Mine is longer but I wrote it for other people's benefit and if you can't do yourself the favour then go away.

Yep,it's quite annoying! If i do get a decent message though even if i'm not interested i will reply but even then can get a nasty reply! Was told i was ugly recently because i sent a polite thanks but no thanks message! You can't win!

I think it is probably well worth bearing in mind that whatever is written on a profile 99% of people on here at any time are just browsing with no intention whatsoever of meeting anyone . No reply is pretty much a standard response.

To me ignorant means that someone doesn't know or is ignorant of certain facts.

Ok so the intention of the post was initially people not reading profiles and just messaging people regardless of what they are looking for etc but in a way i do find it a bit ignorant when you get a no response as its not hard to say no thankyou is it....but some of you get 100s of messages a day so its understandable!

When you get junk mail in the post, do you write a letter back to them as a thanks?
