"Not reading the site rules and understanding them." Exactly. It has been made quite clear in the site FAQ's that a non-reply is NOT to be considered rude and should be taken as a 'no, thank you' | |||

"Thanks for the enlightenment " Also if your messaging couples consider that both might work full time but different shifts and both will want to read your message when they get chance and probably won't respond until they have found time where they are together to discuss if they are both interested before replying?

"Which is more rude: Reading messages but not having the courtesy to reply - eve just a sorry not for me Or Knowing the recipient has been online (for a lengthy period or several times) and not bothered to read your message " Are you sending messages which are so good they really ought to be replied to? Some of the ones we get are terrible. If they or you think we should put any effort into replying to those you're just wrong. | |||

"Which is more rude: Reading messages but not having the courtesy to reply - eve just a sorry not for me Or Knowing the recipient has been online (for a lengthy period or several times) and not bothered to read your message " The answer to your question is...... drumroll............. Neither are rude. Unless of course you; a) don't read the rules b) have no comprehension of mail volume c) have a strong sense of self entitlement Fab FAQs. It's not rude not to reply. Some ladies and couples get hundreds of messages a day so it simply isn't possible for them to reply to everyone. If you don't get a response, you should assume they aren't interested. If you're getting a lot of "no-replies" then you should consider your profile and the messages you send. Are they giving the right message? Are you standing out from the thousands of other guys on here? | |||

I know they haven't read my profile so I don't bother even looking at them most of the time. 5 messages wouldn't take long, but why would I bother reading and replying when someone can't even put the effort into reading my profile header never mind the rest of it?

"OP to put this into context, I took my filters off on Saturday. I got around 120 messages. I read every one and looked at every profile. For some, it took longer for me to do that than it took for the sender to write the message. I replied to 8ish 5 to say thanks for sending a nice message but no thanks. 3 for other reasons All 8 replied, so then I had to reply again and so on and so on. This process took me about 4 hours. If I'd replied to all (including the one that read "I'm going to bury my massive cock in your arse, put my hands around your throat and treat you like the slut you are") I'd still be replying now. So maybe, as per forum rules, realise that no reply, isn't rude, it's a choice that people are able to make and shouldn't need to be justified." This! Filters make no difference. All single women get excessive amounts of messages, most from people who clearly haven’t read the profile. I don’t understand why people still think it’s reasonable to expect a no thanks from every single person they message. What’s the point? Plus it’s boring writing them! | |||

"I regularly come on here and don't look at my inbox, I come to hangout in the forums and relax. I don't log out every time I am on the site, so there are times I will appear online even when I'm not. When I do check my inbox I always look at a sender's profile BEFORE I decide whether to even open a message. If the profile isn't appealing, or clearly doesn't match what I state on mine I am looking for, I am unlikely to respond to the message. On the occasions I've replied with a "No thanks" it invariably results in further messages wanting to know why not or attempting to persuade me to give them a chance. I don't have time to do that with every single message that I get. If a message comes in, & the profile sparks my interest, & I open the message & it's well written & shows they've read & understood my profile, then I will always reply. Oh & by the way, copy & paste messages saying "I've read & like your profile..." don't count & are really easy to spot & usually get deleted Ultimately on here no reply means no interest. " ^^^ just this.. | |||
