How hard is it to answer messages?

May 04 2014

Maybe we are from the old school, but where has common courtesy gone. It takes seconds to hit reply and give an answer to a message even if it is a no thanks. Is it just us or is it just plain rude to not get no reply. In these days of people being on their phones texting constantly it can't be that they can't type. Enough venting, just wanted to see if anyone agrees or disagrees.

    To be honest single women get so many text and flirts each day that its a job to answer everyone. Just the way it is, I try but then sometimes I think what is the point ,if its not a match or if the person has not read my profile a reply will only further engage that person. Like Q said, no reply is an answer It seems rude but then its the nature of the internet and half the time you could be contacting a fake profile, or a player who has no intention of meeting. Those are the ones that waste your time.

    I have to say that I always return a message even if just a few words thanks but no thanks. Plus there is always the quick reply format if need be. I organised an event a few months ago and sent out invitations to some that had registered. Have to say yes there were many whom didn't even bother responding. Common courtesy yes it seems to have disappeared.

    Those who do receive messages have a choice....to reply or not. It's an individual choice....some choose to reply some don't. No one can make another to reply to messages and no one has an obligation to answer messages to anyone on here. Yes it is good manners tho to reply even if it's a "Thanks but no thanks" That's how I see it.... The thing I don't like is when one chooses not to reply and then next minute (after some days or even weeks) a message is sent asking why no reply and some verbal abuse thrown in there. That's not on in my books nor OK, that is when I make the choice to block or not to block. Foxy

    people contact you when you don't suit what you are after also. I have so many women and couples contacting me and nowhere on my profile does it state I am looking for anything but a man. I try to reply to everyone but some people contact you knowing full well that they don't lie within my criteria. That is wasting people's time in itself and it isn't very nice having to reject person after person either.

    Try not take things to heart.... Speaking from a single guys point of view. I get knock backs all the time.. But when I receive "no thanks" in return I always say "thanks a bundle for replying" it's a tough market to crack.. Just brush them off lol Spoz can only make you stronger.. ;))

    began replying too every message, even flirts, half if not more just became ping pong games and the messages and flirts came in pretty thick, so it was hard to answer every one. Realistically most of our messages are mainly directed at Tara, and that does not bother us, however we don't play up every weekend and are just cruising in what we accept with this and each other a lifestyle choice, with years in front of us. We enjoy making friends, maybe more so than the sex. We have a good healthy sex life here at home, so we decided to only answer messages when we are feeling feisty or from friends we have made through the forums and a meet and greet. If and when we open any message we always reply, though if we have not opened the message then we feel that is fair enough, as if anyone wishes us to hurry, then they are not really interested in making friends, we believe so any how. It seems too work fine as no one has sent any messages for such concerns. Mado Tara xx

    We have met with one lady who indicated that she received hundreds of messages and flirts every day when she was first on the site. That must be pretty overwhelming. Maybe a bit terrifying, in fact. We're inclined to assume that any messages we send out probably won't get a response not because people are rude but because they have so much else vying for their attention. When we do get a response, even a negative one, it is always a little surprising but lovely.

    Some of my messages are under matching and some not. I do like to go and look at someone's profile before I reply so that's going to take some time. One of my messages is like reading "War and Peace", so that'll take time to think of a suitable answer. It's all about having time and being in the right frame of mind. If I don't feel like replying today, maybe I will tomorrow. Who knows?

    Now, I've not seen your profile, your messages, or those you've messages, but three points come to mind. *are you sure the people you're messaging are real? **are your messages worth replying to? ***does your profile attract who you're messaging? If they've read your mail and not replied, that's your answer. Food for thought for everyone DG

    😎 because you know sooooo much about SOOOOO MUCH? OP it's a tough gig but someone has to do it.....I reply to all my messages, unless the writer is exceptionally beyond the scope of normality or common decency. But yes I get where you're coming from. No answer can also be a blessing in disguise 😏

That's what nice people do. One thing though, I'm not a kitten and I'm not in a jungle fever mood. But it is a jungle out there, so maybe tread lightly.

    I tend not to worry about replies to the one message I send to interested profiles. However I loathe the abrupt end to conversations after 2-3 messages to each other. - Posted from rhpmobile

    if they don't reply its a big hint to not give it another thought. Message can be as nice as it can be and I personally get 90% silence. End of the day u have two choices. Give up and move on to the next lucky person or give up and delete your profile. Can't get bitter about it is just part and parcel of the game. Don't get me wrong I get the shits if I don't get a response think its the height of rudeness but I get over it. if u are female the odds are ever in your favour, blokes just have to cop it sweet and bring something different to the table

    While I couldn't agree more with many of the comments already made about just moving on and definitely not send an abusive message (some people must have way too much time on their hands - why waste your energy & it then makes you way more rude that they were for not replying) but the one that does get a tad annoying is when they contact you. You put the time & effort into constructing a pleasant, maybe sexy & hopefully appealing reply then nothing. Sometimes it may have been after showing face pics in PG - now I know I ain't no Brad Pitt or Bradley Cooper but I also know I don't have a head like a dropped pie! Or 2 heads for that matter - and more importantly I'm always polite, respectful and considerate both in messages & when I meet people in person. However, even if I did have a head that had been severely beaten with the ugly stick is that an excuse for someone not to give the courtesy of a reply when they instigated contact. Of course I understand that shit happens in people's lives - circumstances change etc etc and as has been repeated several times above me here …. don't waste your time worrying about it getting hot under the collar - instead realise it's their loss and move on to find a better play friend! Still it would be nice to see a little more common courtesy return to everyday life across the board I think. Have fun RHPer's! There's a whole bunch of lovely people out there - focus on them I guess!

    I'm with you. A reply is a nice thing to do, even if it's to say thanks but no thanks. I've had guys express amazement that they got a reply. Why shouldn't they get a reply if they have taken the time to contact me.

    Your right.. Your profile spoke to me: "I would also like to be able to see some pics of what you look like as I don't have the time for endless mails requesting pics :-). I am what I am, and I think I'm worth the effort. Do you?? " Profiles speak on behalf of there Owners. And thats the topic of this discussion, I replied with a message & Pics (normal) those are clear signs that someone's interest.. Well mine for that matter.. But dust off the shoulder/miss interrupted... NEXT...
