How many messages do you send before you get the hint no reply is an answer? I have a guy in my inbox that has sent 20+ with no reply and now I’m the ugliest person on earth in his eyes🤣🤣

If you aren't interested

You deleted

If they continue then block

Why on earth let it get to 20+messages!?!

1 usually, when I first came on the site I’d send 2, sometimes more on occasion in an effort to stand out in the overcrowded inboxes but after getting used to the site I refrain now. I think if it’s meant to go somewhere then fate will take it course!

One - but "no reply" is not always an answer - sometimes messages sat unread and unnoticed for weeks.

That's the nature of this website though - for every woman there's a dozen simping men, all climbing over each other for a crumb of attention.

This site mostly serves women and men who are in the club/social scene - my advice for everyone else, is to spend your money on other platforms.

One message. If unread I will send a follow up message explaining I’m not a creep or pest, that I understand women get more messages than able to reply so I’m messaging again as a show of interest.

To all of the guys that say one, try again a few months later. Many people bulk delete, or aren't in the zone when you send that one message. I've had good connections from such second/third chancers. Not a chance if it's a cut and paste message though.

Personally I would say posting 1 forum message and interacting with others and their experiences is a lot less tedious than blocking hundreds of people daily who seem to believe they have a right to a reply from a stranger . It was more about the insults after many messages were ignored that had me wondering.

I’ve no idea what drives men to send insults or abuse on here, I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s ever going to work in their favour either. It strikes me as very narcissistic.

I sometimes wonder if it’s a tactic..

Everything else is ignored but you’re more likely to respond to insults, even negative attention is attention..

But then I realise I’ve probably over analysed and they likely don’t have the brain cells to think of such tactics😅

nobody should get abuse, unfortunately some guys can't take rejection. By simply using your block button you stop the abuse. Should you have to? No but it makes for an easier life

Yeah maybe, maybe to them just some sort of acknowledgement they exist gets their ‘meet now’ boner wet😂

Oh they won’t see it as a tactic, in their mind it’s pure ego driven I think!

When I was single, I'd send one message. Most of the time I'd get a reply. When the message was either deleted or read but unreplied, I'd let it be.

Lack of response was an answer in itself.

1 message that's it.. might send again in 4/5 months time but as a single male you know that you are low on the pecking so will be ignored more often than not, but also that too many messages will get you deleted

Blocking those you're not interested in would reduce the number of messages, stop repeat contact, lower the amount of time it would take to go through your inbox and hopefully reduce the likelihood of becoming overwhelmed.

The tools are there to help people manage their inboxes better.

All that's required is to use them. 🤷‍♂️

I find quite a lot of messages get lost in my inbox because I get a constant influx of messages when I'm online and I don't check them when I'm just using the forums, so there's people I might be interested in who get lost in the deluge. I don't think there's any harm in double messaging sometimes as they can kick you back up the inbox, especially if I replied once when then stopped as that usually means your reply just got lost and I'm not just ignorant 🫣

Its when it's gets to 5+ unread messages just take a hint!

If they don't reply or they delete then I use that as the sign to move on.

Some people I don't even message because I feel like they get so many messages they could start a forum thread about the frequency of repeat offenders. In this scenario I like to wait until such a thread occurs then surreptitiously comment on it hoping my interest in said person is subtlety portrayed.

If that doesn't work then I go have a cry wank and eat my sorrows.

Send the one message… I’ll leave it in my sent box for a week at most. If the message is opened & ignored I’ll delete immediately. If it’s been left unopened yet I’ve seen the profile has been online within the days of my message being sent, I’ll delete it after a week at the most.

No need to be sending multiple messages as following the above protocol is works for me and I can take a hint when someone’s not interested.
