Yes.

Currently sitting at 314 unread, it’s not that we can’t cope it’s that we don’t respond to anything we feel isn’t right for us.

The friends mail box is a great tool and helps make sure we don’t miss anything from them.

We do have a few conversations with new people open and respond quickly when active

I receive a healthy number per week, enough to keep me amused and enthused.

If I receive a "Hi" or a photo of a quim I don't bother replying. (The latter is a rarity, thankfully)

I have {redacted} conversation/s on the go.

As a woman I think it’s crazy different:

Over 2000 unread messages at the moment which is mental..

I get a few. I'm more likely to reply to them if they're not solely about sex. If they give me something to work with. If I'm interested in talking to someone in that moment. Or if I'm ovulating.

Oh and if they're okay with me not replying to them daily. I hate the inane small talk just to have something to say. To be in touch.

if someone shoved their naked privates in my face and spoke to me when i have made it clear** i won't be speaking to anyone shoving their privates in my face and only talk to people coming to me as you would irl aka showing your face, then yes, I'd absolutely ignore them and that's what i do here too.
