Instantly delete one or two line messages? Or obvious "copy & paste" messages.

For ex. "Hi" "hows youse"

We instantly delete them because if they can't be bothered putting some effort into, we can't be arsed either.

Instantly delete. I used to reply with a thanks but not interested message, but I got a fair amount of abuse for it. So no point

Yes. I've taken the same amount of time and effort they have.

I don't make exceptions no matter how hot they are, and any immediate follow up I block them.

Oh this is more, they send a horrendously generic message, including saying how nice they are, the word nice appears all over their profile, they attach a face picture because that's what all women want, then when I delete their message... Nice people don't make threats like that

Depends on my mood a one or two word message will usually get a one or two word reply. If they continue to respond with little or no context then I quickly lose interest.

Possibly, wider context sometimes makes a difference. Maybe I like their profile (I may have alot to say) or we have met before or a response to wink for examples. Sometimes to break the ice dosent need to be war and peace. And sometimes just with one line there may be a something quite profound or intresting. So I take it on a case by case basis.

If I'm bored and I don't have many messages then sometimes I look at the profile and see if anything intrigues me but more often than not I just delete it, then which is often the case I get a message saying "guess your not interested then, shame I would have given you the best time of your life" I just block.

Yep. It’s was worse when I was a single lady on here. At least they just keep chancing their arm with our couples profile. Three strikes and they’re blocked. Before as a single lady, the abuse I received if I wouldn’t meet them for a coffee. Or a coffee and a blow job! as I’m on a sex site so it’s a given that that’s what I would do! All sorts of names thrown at me! Like that’s gonna win me round! Although I did end up marrying the man that was originally a thanks but no thanks so I’m glad I didn’t block him!

The only ones we don't reply to are the ones that very obviously haven't read our fairly brief profile.

Copy and paste doesn't bother us neither do one liners. The following messages will tell if we're compatible or not.

I think people expect too much of a first message. When you're approached by someone in a bar for example you don't expect much more than a "hello, how are you" to get the conversation going.

If there’s anything crude I delete. I have also grown to dislike messages that say ‘are you behaving?’

It’s not about the length of the message, it’s about the content. It can be a one liner but a nice one.

It's not about being up yourself it's about being inundated with messages so one or two words messages just aren't going to get a response. I most certainly don't need to be impressed but I do like to know that somebody has put a bit of effort in.

I think the other thing is I've made it very clear on my profile the kind of messages I don't want to receive so if somebody sends me a 1 or 2 word message then I just delete it and I don't understand why they're surprised by that. There is only so many "hi how are" messages I can receive in a day before I get exceptionally board. Also I'm not going to feel guilty for not being obliged to reply to a message.

"I would hate to be inundated with so many messages I couldn't read and reply to them all.

I had a lady come and stop at mine a few years ago, and I was amazed how many she actually had in her inbox, it would freak me out as well!

I think the other thing is I've made it very clear on my profile the kind of messages I don't want to receive so if somebody sends me a 1 or 2 word message then I just delete it and I don't understand why they're surprised by that. There is only so many "hi how are" messages I can receive in a day before I get exceptionally board. Also I'm not going to feel guilty for not being obliged to reply to a message. "

It was crazy, when she opened her laptop she must have had about 150 messages in there, some wishing her well for her journey to mine, she did return for a second visit, but mostly unsolicited. How the hell's anyone supposed to reply to them for crying out loud no matter how good natured and what your intentions may be. I need a secretary to open ma post on a weekly basis ffs!

This^ I try to keep on top of mine but haven't managed to get it to less than 100. Currently sat at 264 (although I'm sure I can add at least 5 to that in the time it's taken to type this) and probably half are just "hey" or "u ok?"

"Instantly delete one or two line messages? Or obvious "copy & paste" messages.

For ex. "Hi" "hows youse"

We instantly delete them because if they can't be bothered putting some effort into, we can't be arsed either.

I would reply. I'm here to have some nice chat with a normal guy for mmf. I don't need to be impressed. I'm not up myself that way x"

I'd check for pics first

If I fancied them then I'd reply

If it got to a few messages in and I was getting short answers and it was like pulling teeth, then I'd lose interest

If there were no pics or I didn't fancy them, I wouldn't answer

"Instantly delete. I used to reply with a thanks but not interested message, but I got a fair amount of abuse for it. So no point "

And me, I ignore most messages unless one catches my eye, and periodically go through them replying to some and deleting most.
