"ive done it myself, had a message from someone and they seem ok so i reply, then a couple of messages later they may say something that puts me off them so i change my mind about talking with a _iew to meeting so i will stop reply From my experience, and other ladies on the site have said they get the same, some people can get really abusive and nasty if you say no to them, i have had many a message telling me im fat and ugly anyway and i should be grateful of their attention from poeple i have said no thanks to or changed my mind about meeting, you only put up with this abuse for so long before you stop putting yourself in the fireing line so now if someone messages me and i dont want to meet them i will just stop messaging be that after one message or several, this may seem ignorent and rude to you but im not willing to keep talking such messages from dummy spitting people " Well we know you naughtynymphos and we know those rude comments you mention are not true. But some people are very poor at taking rejection, but you have to take the highs with the lows in this game. | |||

"One of our fav rejection backlashes was directed at Jackie's single profile. He wanted to meet up with her as she was quote "a real sexy woman". He was not to her tastes and she politely replied saying no thanks but good luck in his endeavours. His highly imaginative responce was "well wouldn't want to fuck you anyway, you look 100". Strange how attitudes and standards can change after rejection. " and that is exactly an example of what i was talking about you go from being the sexist women on the site to being a minger in two small words.....no thanks | |||

"Reading through some of the postings i see we're not the only one's with this problem. My fiance & myself joined about 5 weeks ago & we've contacted several ladies always with the utmost politeness & trying to be as honest as possible. I can handle being deleted without a reply though i find it rather rude, (even the couple of replys i've had saying thanks but no thanks, i realy appreciate) but what i have difficulty in getting my head round is when people reply to the first or second message sounding interested & then suddenly, silence & ignoreing all further messages. Is this a common problem on the site? I hope not because otherwise it might not be the site for us though i'm sure there are some very genuine people on here." Meeting couples or single fems is hard work. It really depends how much you want to do it. Personally, find it much easier to just go to parties. Mistress x | |||

"I thought that myself as appearance without meeting can be very off putting. An old friend of my partner was absolutly anti beard & was very particular about appearances but we had a couple of encounters because she actualy got to know me in person & saw beyond the hairy face. It has to be a 2 way thing though & the other half is a bit reluctant. Are these partys all about sex on the night or do a lot of people just go for the social side? Getting into the swinging scene for us is more for her to explore her bi-side than for me but she's very keen on forming proper friedships first before anything sexual happens." Parties can be purely social if that's what you are looking for. If you get an invite and tell the hosts you'd love to go, but want to socialise at your first party, I'm sure they would understand. You might find yourself just going with the flow though | |||

Mabee catch some of you at a party in the future. Thanks again to everyone who gave advise, it's really appreciated. I was supprised at how helpful people can be on this site. All the best. xxx | |||

"Hi nightowl. Just going backk to the main point of what you said! "we've contacted several ladies always with the utmost politeness & trying to be as honest as possible" I have posted a couple of times saying the same thing although I am in a different position to you. There are many good people here willing to help as you can see from your replies to you post. Some great people on here. But I have been shot down in flames when I have brought this subject up by some people on here mostly by the girls. Trying to say it,s all my fault or it,s your add, it,s your attitude, your not patient enough! Well NO, NO, NO. I am also alway,s polite and honest like you. It,s nothing to do with us my friend. It cost,s nothing to be polite. It cost nothing to say "No thank you" Nobody needs to be rude and ignorant and have there heads up there ass and make excuses as to why they cant/dont reply. I can understand if the person is not polite to you then yes, delete and ignore! They who delete and ignore us decent people have the problem, we dont! Bring it on and prove me write now by ripping me apart like last time Stay with it and you will find the genuine, friendly people on here. There are lots of them as you can see form your post. Best wishes" it doesn't take a lot to 'upset, nark or niggle' people on here. like you say, a lot of really nice folk on here - but there's always a queue for the soapbox ! should imagine that the biggest problem you face is the fact that you (quite rightly) state that you are married ? i have seen married men get ripped apart in the forums by some (but not all) women. also the fact that you want 1 off meets i would imagine takes out a number of ladies from the equation. add to that the fact that in your meets you want a subserviant lady and the field narrows yet further again. but like the advice you gave to the OP, if you know what you want then you have to stick with it you can't please everyone all of the time so you just have to stay true to yourself and ignore the muck & bullets that sometimes fly about | |||

"Thanks. But the point is people not replying to polite email." Think you are forgetting that no one is obliged to reply to unsolicited email, no matter how polite. You are also forgetting that many women on here, particularly single women get literally hundreds of mails every day from men - it's simply not possible to reply to everyone under such circumstances. If you don't like it, try your luck elsewhere. | |||

" They could use copy and paste. Quick, easy and everyone is happy!" No, it doesn't make for happy. No one likes receiving a copy and paste message and you can always spot them. I don't send them and never would. If someone clearly has ignored my profile, I just delete, and maybe block. If they *have* read my profile but I'm just not interested even if they are a match on paper, I'll write a polite thanks but no thanks. I do far more of the former, because the number of guys on here who chance it is huge. Too bad if they don't get a reply - my profile is clear enough who I'll answer. | |||

Fair enough, if they dont read your profile then I fully understand anyone no replying. 100% They are wasting your time. But I dont really think we are talking about them people. Ok, maybe the copy and paste is a bad idea, but if you get my point. If they have made a genuine effort to contact you so the least we can do is a very quick "Thank but no thanks" in response. | |||

"sorry but I think your reply is a tad unfair... why does it sound like she has a chip on her shoulder.. you asked for advice and she gave it.. and very factual advice to be honest. I offered advice as well and you chose to not take it and that is also your choice. I wrote it sensitively and will try again.. I suggested you take off the pic with you in the chair.. the background looks messy and a bottle of Archers by the chair may not sell you as well as the other pics can. You are trying to attract people and pics are important. No offence meant at all " Seems i over reacted a bit, it just came across wrong that's all & i've apoligised to Serena & i hope she accepts it. I took the advise you gave on board but I've just been so busy that it was over looked but don't think it's not appreicated & i think it was good advise. Thanks. | |||

We've decided to have a look at a couple of private members clubs where we can meet people & socialise in a relaxed atmosphere & see how it goes. | |||

"I think the site owners could do more in setting expectations from the outset - after all it's not as if they have membership fees to worry about." They do. There is a pretty comprehensive FAQ and if new members took the time to read it - particularly the one about why people may not reply - they might find their expectations a lot easier to manage. | |||
