"Not sure how an inbox full of “no thanks” messages would help you OP? Sounds time consuming and tedious. " I’d imagine it would be more demoralising than the no replies. At least with a no reply there’s a chance they forgot to reply or missed the message. | |||

"amazing how many people are here to chat or whatever. send message nothing rude or bad and it gets deleted or you get blocked. what's a guy to do other than try when girls say we not got a type just like fun and nothing back " Best advice op is to delete every message as soon as you send it. Then you don't have the option of seeing if it has been opened or not and won't tie yourself in knots over it. Send your best message, delete and move on | |||

"This again! I have 2500 unread messages do you really think I have time to read and reply to all those?" That sorta tells the story completely. That's a hell of alot of messages to process - if you only spent a minute replying to each one from right now you'd still be sat there Friday lunchtime Those that then sit there and can't comprehend why someone else is not prepared to do that to make them feel pretty much no better about rejection than with no reply are the reason why people default to no reply - self fulfilling prophecy I'm afraid and the entire reason why when I was single I didn't even bother messaging anyone - it was pointless - if someone was going to be interested enough from my profile alone they'd get in touch - they didn't and spamming up a load of messages wouldn't have changed that. FWIW youve got more hope if you are witty and charismatic in a liver environment like the chatrooms but again it's still very cattle market like. | |||

"I block 2 or 3 a day. If someone clearly hasn't even bothered to read past the first line of our profile, then I cant be bothered to reply. I also regularly block copy and paste messages, which for some reason really annoy me! Often they will mention how hot Ginge looks in our pics when we don't have any pics on public display! Max" It's clearly my internet aura Ginge | |||

"I used to reply then you'd get "but why not etc etc....its draining." Exactly! It’s a rarity that a guy stops messaging after I have said I’m not interested. | |||

"OP I've been on here as a couple, and as people have mentioned, it's a nightmare! " I'm not sure I'd describe it as a nightmare - more that expectations need to align to the reality of the situation - even the mighty Thor would struggle to make headway in this environment so a crappy old Viking has no hope | |||

"amazing how many people are here to chat or whatever. send message nothing rude or bad and it gets deleted or you get blocked. what's a guy to do other than try when girls say we not got a type just like fun and nothing back " maybe because you have no real verifications. I know you have to start somewhere but ladies and couples have a massive choice and lots like to go by recommendations from other couples that they have met someone | |||

"amazing how many people are here to chat or whatever. send message nothing rude or bad and it gets deleted or you get blocked. what's a guy to do other than try when girls say we not got a type just like fun and nothing back " Like it has been said by others on here, with most ladies receiving hundreds of messages, its almost impossible to keep up. You'll have better luck getting to know people at social events or clubs | |||

"Used to reply to each message but it gets a bit tedious when you can tell they’ve just copied and pasted to a load of profiles " We've realised that more often than not, WE are putting in twice as much time and effort into sending "no thankyou" replies than the initial message sender put in. That's when you decide to just delete. (Bry) | |||

"Why exactly do people think others should spend their time answering messages from people who don't appeal to them .Most look at a profile and the message and if it doesn't appeal why should they reply ? They didn't ask for you to message so you shouldn't expect a reply ." | |||

"Funnily enough we have just received a TWELTH message from a guy all in the past two weeks, none of which we have replied to. Ordinarily I would block but I have become intrigued as to just how long he will carry on!" Lol I’ve had a few who’ve sent 25+ I only block abusive messages though. | |||

Once its sent its out of your control what happens next. Myself I concentrate on my inbox or searching for folk who I think we have common interests and message them. | |||

" Yeah I do the exact same just makes it easier for both parties and think its nice that they’ve talked to be they should be free of my bs. Will also avoid hitting on women who message me first.I don’t message people I interact with ok the forums most of the time full stop | |||

"amazing how many people are here to chat or whatever. send message nothing rude or bad and it gets deleted or you get blocked. what's a guy to do other than try when girls say we not got a type just like fun and nothing back " PS I read your profile while pretending to be a girl... It did not make my imaginary girly garden tingle. I am sure a military lad like you has some great crack and top bants hiding away in there somewhere, let it out and let it shine brudda! Lets see what ya look like out in the sunshine doing what you love rather than pulling daft faces in a broom cupboard or whatever you were doing in your profile pic. Dont be a grey man! Sparkle and shine like a stallion unicorn. Or at least a rhino rolled in glitter... | |||

"I used to be mildly offended when blocked for seemingly no reason, but there doesn't need to be a reason. I'm awful with remembering names at the best of times, it is handy way to not accidentally click on that person's profile again, or just because you're bored of seeing them. I regularly block people as a filtering tool. Either they said no thanks, or they are very clear in their profile that I would not be welcome, or forum interactions indicate they arent someone I want to meet. Its nowt personal, just stops me having to remember and prevents me pestering them. Yeah I do the exact same just makes it easier for both parties and think its nice that they’ve talked to be they should be free of my bs.

" Unread message numbers have been used by lots of women as a humble brag both here in the forums and in private messages. The private messages are usually accompanied by screenshots to prove their point. There is no other reason to tell anyone how many unread messages anyone has. Many women complain about the quality and content of messages they receive but refuse to acknowledge any advice that involves applying filters which would reduce those messages. For every woman on the forums who complains about the number of messages they receive is another who uses those numbers to their advantage and yet another who doesn't receive nasty or poorly written messages at all because they take control of who can contact them and doesn't suffer from fomo. " Reading this, with no acknowledgement of the appalling crap messages from men and the part they play, it doesn't sound like you like many women. I've had filters high for months. I still get dross. I still get dick pics. I like for men to message because I have no confidence to message them much of the time. I like to join in forum challenges. If a woman shares how many unread messages - they're often defending themselves against men having a go about no replies. | |||

I am surrounded by women. Some of my favourite people are women. Some of the strongest people I know are women. I worked for a woman for more than 2 decades and she was a great boss. My issue with a lot of the comments on here is that there are far too many people, both men and women who see their own reflection in things that are said on here and are immediately triggered amd have to defend their corner. You are entitled to think what you like about me but strangely almost every conversation I have on this site is initiated by women who understand exactly what I am saying and are in complete agreement. I'd love someone to actually explain to me the point in having hundreds or thousands of unread messages. It's a lazy excuse thrown into threads every day about how women couldn't possibly reply to every message because they are inundated but yet some of the most successful women on these forums don't have that issue at all. Why is that I wonder? Men who start negative threads about why they can't get meets or replies to messages are castigated and told their negativity will get them nowhere and yet some women don't practice what they preach and spend their time refusing to use the tools offered by the site and wonder why their experience hasn't improved. The point is that if you have 20 unread messages you will at some stage open those and possibly reply or maybe not. If you have 1000 unread messages you are never going to make a dent in them so just bulk delete rather than use them as the female version of dick measuring. | |||

" Just to add, why would I acknowledge appalling crap messages? That's totally unrelated to my original point. The clue was in the very first word.. Unread! Content is irrelevant because the messages have never been opened. | |||

" I have in the past complimented you on several threads for your insightful comments, Reality. Challenging you on a couple of threads is just that - I disagree with some of your opinions. As you may disagree with mine. I don't "misread", I just read with my perspective. As you do. Personally I choose not to open up my inbox to all and sundry. Yes there will be some who enjoy being popular and gain something from that. Validation, whatever. But I will defend the right of anyone to run their profile as they wish. For whatever reasons they have. I won't defend those who send the dick pics, the graphic messages, the abusive ones, the repetitive ones etc. I still get them with my filters set tight. I am not the problem - the people who send the damn messages and don't read my profile are the problem. I am defensive of other women here because I know how overwhelming it can be. | |||

It can only that way if that was there intention and reason for pressing block, ridiculous to think for obvious reasons...you saying its rude is how you took it. You clearly assume it should be mandatory and polite to get a response and explanation for not wanting to talk, and by this that they have to respond to every message they get, not just yours. They get hundreds of messages....if i did id probably block and delete its good admin. Your messaging people that are looking for single guys, they will be chatting and arranging whatever with single guys unless you assume they block everyone. So if they have met single guys, those single guys didn't get blocked upto that point. So couples and single women are having fun, the single guys that they have fun with are also having fun. Your not having fun, the why is irrelevant because you need to change something, if youve tried everything though theres only one thing to do after that. It reads patronising and it is a little if honest but if you seriously are puzzled why your not getting any action, even after all this thread the kindest thing to do would be to delete your profile before the thread was closed. | |||

"Personally I respond to every message, thankfully though I don't have the same issue of being inundated by messages so it's infinitely easier to reply even if it's a "no thanks". There is no magic trick to get responses and as has been said many times above, no reply simply means "no thanks", as frustrating as it can be just leave it at that and move on. " From one donny boy to another last paragraph here is bang on flower and nicely wraps it all up. Its what i kind of meant, and would have liked to have written instead of the sarcastic waffle of a rant i did write. | |||
