From time to time we all get messages of people that we are not interested or not attracted to, right?

Normally I answer "sorry you are not my type", etc. But sometimes they send another message... And then they are being completely rude!

So now I just wonder if there is any point to be nice

You could always block and then they don't have a chance to reply ? I think it's lovely when people respond even if it is a no thank you.

Sadly no, saying nothing is the least likely to provoke a bad response.

It's nice to get a no thanks type of reply and I always reply back with a no probs thanks for the reply type thing although I understand those that just delete and don't reply at all because you girls get millions of messages every day. I'd say if it's causing you issues then don't rey at all, just delete and move on x

it's part of the way it works on here for singletons.. to be honest it's the rude and pestering user's on here that unfortunately and subsequently leave us all (singletons) tard with the same brush.. personally when I get a reply that's polite and to the point..No Thank you, I in return send a "Thank you for your response and wish them well".. some don't, but manners and well being cost nothing..

It's nice to get a reply for the genuine people on here even if negative. We often have to ask if people, mainly couples have read our profile as nothing in there profiles show we would interest them, ie the lady playing alone. Occasionally we get, oh sorry, but more often or not abuse when they winked or messaged us first when our profile clearly states what we are after.

And on the other side when we get turned down, a nice thank you for replying, take care, happy swinging is always sent. I think it's all down to how serious you take this site. Abusive replies get a block straight away and move on. There ignorant, twatish attitudes shouldnt change you, and it also kinda proves you made the right decision to say no. Don't let this place change you. Keep polite replying, then delete,

block if needed. X

When we can clearly see that the person messaging us has not read our profile(they are to young for us, or send pics) then we usually just delete the message and block them, but if they send a message and have read our profile, but are not our type, we reply saying sorry you are not our type, all we get is abuse, so now we don't bother to reply. It's a shame really, as we always wanted to reply and be nice, but we don't see the point in reply if 90% of the time we just get abuse when someone can't take rejection.

I try to answer all decent messages from people who more or less fit my preferences.

The rest I reply to or delete according to available time and inclination. There are only so many "no thank you"s, "please read my profile and get back to me if you think you fit the description"s and "I don't meet smokers"s I can face writing in one day, even if I had unlimited time to do it.

It's the ones that send a follow-up a few minutes later to complain you haven't replied that get me.

You get a message, you look and think maybe but don't feel like/don't have time to write a decent response immediately. You mark it as unread so they know it's not been read and ignored, intending to come back to it. 20 minutes later you get a snotty message saying they know you've read the message and demanding to know why you haven't replied; saying how it's "only polite".

If I'm on here or chatting to someone else, for example, I might not want to stop to respond to a message immediately.

I expect the sender chose a time convenient to them to send it, but doesn't think they should extend the same opportunity to me. Apparently I'm supposed to reply in a way convenient to them too and never mind what I want to do with my time.

I get this too! One guy wrote to me, I was pressed for time to write a more appropriate reply (as I was interested), so I wrote a very quick one-liner, just so he didn't think I had read it and was now ignoring him. Then when I logged back in, I found a 'well, THAT was shorter than I expected' from him. I wrote and explained my reasoning, but the urge to take things further with him had evaporated, strangely!

Op. If that was me and done the same. I'd then just block, I avoid arguments.

I don't expect a reply if there not interested. I'm surprised if they even get read now. Lots of negative around on people's profiles and he forum would only lead more negativity from normal people. It might not !

I would always reply If friendly.

If they're not friendly, then all bets are off.

I thought its nice to have respond, but now if I notice someone haven't read our profile then we don't even answer. If they do, but just are not what we are looking for, then we answer. I haven't received any rude response for a while

Short answer? Yes. Carry on being nice polite people. If you get a rude reply? Block them. Even a polite rejection warms the heart of my cockles as I'm sure it would all the other nice people here.

I usually say no in a polite way. Most are just glad you reply either way, some want more info as to why not, and a very small handful get right arsey and call you a twat.

Swings and roundabouts - any whiff of trouble and I block.

Both in my case.

A no thanks evoked a response along the lines of you think you're better than everyone else and the delete got a harsher reply along the lines of being a cock teasing cunt where I was told to laugh it up and fuck off because I was ruining the site for others.

That'll be it - far too mouthy and opinionated for such gentle flowers as your lovely correspondent...

Some messages are so politely written that it seems cruel to just delete them when they aren't what I'm looking for. If they're from outside South Wales it's easy enough to say thanks but I'm only looking for local people, but when they're in my area and they aren't what I'm looking for I'm just saying now that I've found someone on here that I'm meeting regularly.

I have a stock reply which I just paste into the reply box if I'm not really that interested.

"Thanks for your message. If you see us at a club come and say hi".

As at a club I'm a LOT less interested in personality or looks than if meeting at a social or to see if there's a spark.

This often results in "but I don't go to clubs", but that's easily ignorable.

I can't imagine, it's just not in me to verbally abuse somebody over their free choice.

Whenever I read about past experience or a profile with lots of warnings indicating bad experiences with messages, i shake my head and feel like I need to give them a big cuddly bear hug, and assure them. Some people are nasty, some people are nice.

For me, it very much depends on the message they've sent. If it's clear that they've read my profile or taken the time to write a nice intro message, I will reply to say "no thank you but appreciate the message". If their message is a "wot u up2" or a "free now", I just go straight to delete. Life's too short!
