"There was a thread the other day about would you appreciate advice if you didn't ask for it, if I remember was people said they wouldn't be happy to receive it" On a public forum they will say it, 1 to 1 not so much, the thing is the decent people who dont get abusive are normally the ones you yourself pick out to reply to and converse with, the others you choose not to reply to arent worth it, as you have chosen they are not for you so dont reply, its very simple really. | |||

"Ok so here's one for you! Taking in to consideration that some guys constantly moan that they would prefer a simple "no thank you" rather than being ignored I did a little experiment. I had a message from a guy yesterday who had only been on the site for a couple of weeks. No verifications yet, not much on his profile and physically not my type from the photo he attached. It was obvious he had not read my profile or decided to ignore my preferences, either way I find that rude. Equally I have had another message today, again relatively new to the site etc etc. I send them both this message: "A word of advice as you're new. Take the time to read people's profiles, engage with that person based on what they are looking for provided that you match their requirements. You'll have a lot more luck on here if you do these really simple things and make the effort." I've not been rude, i've taken the time to give them a little advice to help them out. One guy just deleted my message WTF! I'm sure he'd be one of the guys on here moaning that us women do that to him. The other guy came back with a not so pleasant response regarding my preferences. Moral of the story is that you guys can moan all you like about not getting responses or getting knocked back etc but when we try and be polite and do reply this is the treatment we get. I am not saying all you guys are the same but you must appreciate that if this is the kind of outcome we generally get then we're not going to put ourselves in the position for it to continue. Rant over! " I'm quite tempted just to delete and block after the same thing happened to me, but was on another site. Unfortunately, the abusive few does spoil it for the decent many. P x | |||

"good for you for posting that message, however I don't think the quality of the profile or the message has as much to do with anything as the pics - very occasionally I'll get a 'thanks but no thanks', or a 'not meeting at the moment' even though they have verifications of recent meets, but fundamentally if you don't match what they want physically you could write a Shakespearian masterpiece and it'll get deleted without the recipient even looking at your profile. The problem is that the male to female ratio is so lopsided that even the least attractive women have an abundance of offers and an average to decent looking guy can count himself lucky to get a single response. There is no such thing as a level playing field in the world of internet dating/hook ups. It's just nice to know that some women actually acknowledge this rather than becoming full of their own self importance.." How do you know they haven't looked at your profile? I have looked but you would never know! Plus If men want to drop their standards by shagging what you call 'least attractive women' then they are your target market to try and educate it's quite simple, me on the other hand? I struggle, but I never drop my standards, it's poor quality of the messages and profiles in my neck of the woods, suggest men just think women on here are just gagging for it, me? I have my wand if and when required, so I would rather go without...so a hell of a lot of my messages just go deleted whenever I do a mass delete | |||

"Yes. You said "one just deleted the message WTF" Doesn't really matter that he deleted it? As you say women delete messages that aren't interested and that's ok. " Sorry maybe it wasn't clear what my point was with that. What I was trying to highlight from this thread is that so many guys complain about their messages just getting deleted and they think it's rude. I was trying to point out that by responding even politely we are sometimes opening ourselves up to unnecessary abuse. I'm not saying deleting is right but sometimes it's the only option. The bit that shocked me about the guy who deleted the message is that he'd not taken the time to read my profile and I think that's just as rude. I gave him some friendly advice as he was new and it was just brushed aside, he'll probably be one of the guys complaining on here soon that he can't get meets or doesn't get replies. It just surprised me that's all but he's just as entitled to delete my message. | |||

"I treat everyone with respect, my profile is simple and to the point, my pics are all that matters. and yes, the fact that you have more choices is exactly the point..you have not the slightest clue how it is from a male perspective. " Having more choice does not mean the grass is greener, it just means we have more shite to trawl through, you mention pics? You have none on your profile so look again! If the male thought with his big head and not with his little one, you wouldn't be bloody confused why females can't be arsed with answering shite messages! It is not rocket science, though in some cases it appears it actually is! | |||

" Sorry but I have to disagree with you. Here is an experiment for you to try... Create a unverified womans profile that says fill in later, no pics and can accommodate. See how long it takes for you to read every profile of all the horny men that wink, send fancy a fuck messages etc, then reply nicely to each one. I suspect you will be there for some time. | |||

"well I can feel the respect oozing from your keyboard! what's with all the scratchiness? let me walk you through what I mean..I don't have public pics for discretionary purposes, I SEND them along with a polite message, and more often than not they get deleted, and I know full well it isn't because of the quality of my message it's because of the quality of my pics - how do I know this? because yes, some time ago I experimented with a fake profile of a male model, and I was receiving messages from horny women before I could even finish uploading it. so having to trawl through loads and loads of offers is comparable to not having any offers at all? I rest my case. " Discretion discretion discretion is utter pish, I value my discretion and none of my public pics have my face, so there is no excuse!

As I've already said, you're a woman so therefore gets offers on a plate and your opinion on a man's experience with this site frankly means diddley squat. | |||

"Did they ask for advice? " I suspect he was after sex rather than a lecture. Perhaps the ladies he's really keen on get a well thought out message and the ones he's not so keen on get a 'hi. Nice pics'. Single guys probably get so many rejections and lectures that they just bulk delete and only read the possibly interested replies. | |||

I am not saying all you guys are the same but you must appreciate that if this is the kind of outcome we generally get then we're not going to put ourselves in the position for it to continue. Rant over! " I couldn't help but notice that although you've a 'single' profile, you keep mentioning the word 'we', - are you a poorly disguised couple? | |||

"If I have a few messages to go through, I'll read them all, save the one's I'm interested in in my saved inbox to reply to later then do a mass delete as its quicker than deleting one by one. The sender only sees I've deleted it. Once I got an abusive message because I deleted it, he obviously didn't realise what I'd done but its how I run my profile. Needless to say, he wasn't going to get a reply for a reaction like that when unbeknown to him, I was actually interested. I sometimes think it would be better if the facility to see the status of a sent message should be taken away, can't worry about it then, you'll either get a reply or you won't, simple " Ah but for some people if thy cannot see if you have read their message will lead to another message. The second message will begin with something like "Hi. I am not sure if you got my first email so I thought I would email you again". You can't win either way. | |||

"Ok so here's one for you! Taking in to consideration that some guys constantly moan that they would prefer a simple "no thank you" rather than being ignored I did a little experiment. I had a message from a guy yesterday who had only been on the site for a couple of weeks. No verifications yet, not much on his profile and physically not my type from the photo he attached. It was obvious he had not read my profile or decided to ignore my preferences, either way I find that rude. Equally I have had another message today, again relatively new to the site etc etc. I send them both this message: "A word of advice as you're new. Take the time to read people's profiles, engage with that person based on what they are looking for provided that you match their requirements. You'll have a lot more luck on here if you do these really simple things and make the effort." I've not been rude, i've taken the time to give them a little advice to help them out.

"As a cock in a frock I probably get less messages than the less attractive ladies on here. I get between 5 & 10 a day and 1 or 2 from couples. Sometimes I get one from a lady.D" Approx between 6-12 messages a day? Hmmmm, I'm off frock shopping today | |||

Only down side is they are reluctant to verify usually. But then again; I'm not after verification. Just fun | |||
