Message replies.

November 03 2013

Just wondering if many people get no replies at all from private messages? We are finding it frustrating that we send messages to people, send our pg's, but get no replies at all. We can understand that some people must get heaps of messages and that we simply won't be everybody's "cup of tea". We are honest with those we take the time to send messages to, but if we aren't what people are looking for, is it too much to ask to just send a "thanks, but no thanks" reply? We reply to all our private messages even if it is just to say no thanks. Thoughts?

    It comes with the territory. But yes, I agree and always reply to messages as well.

    If verified we will reply to all messages and flirts. Otherwise we believe it's another fake profile among the thousands that already exist.

    Maybe when your profile says seeking a man but then in the text says no single men?? Anyway, message me and I always reply one way or the other. :-}- Posted from rhpmobile

    We've given up sending messages to couples we feel fit our desires. As the majority of the time we don't hear a word from them...Must be sooo hard to reply with a, "No thanks guys, but enjoy your journey."

    Agreed. It's at the point where when I'm fortunate enough to get a 'thanks but no thanks' I send a reply back thanking them for the reply!- Posted from rhpmobile

    Greetings Freakycuple.If it happens a lot (like 80%) of the time then maybe it's not just rude people you are contacting.Your profile seems a bit confused and angry in places about your need and wants.If you don't want singles guys (who are needed for MMF?)then you should not have them in your seeking part of your profile.A single guy is no good but a pair of guys is fine?I'm not sure how the search feature works but that may steer (guys) them your way.We have had a few couples that don't reply but not many to be honest,most are quite polite but we try to make sure we only reach out to profiles that don't look fake.These are pretty easy to spot usually and possibly where some of your non replies are coming from?And as they say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.Good luck.

    is when someone messages us that are clearly WAY outside of our profile request. We feel its rude to message ppl that you don't fit, why would we respond when we are so busy trying to respond to those who do fit already?   But generally, we respond to everyone :)

    this topic keeps reappearing..and here are our thoughts.... In our onion this shows lack of understanding how modern world works. Our exp is matured age member are also sometimes more sensitive to no answer. You need to understand that you may be a nice person...you know that..but others don't. if you don't know somebody then give him benefit of doubt and assume he is nice, rule doesn't apply online to many. Many here don't reply they have their own goods reasons it is not just that people have suddenly gone rude.. Many simply here want to limit their exposure with unknown person. It is best to respect their choice. Many here have different rules for courtesy with unknown onlines and how to behave with real ppl in real meet. if you think it just take a minute to say no..well it also takes a minute to move on...the best approach after sending a message is to not wait for reply and move on to next profile... Re-check your profile...we simply don't respond if we find many inconsistency in a profile...(I haven't read your profile)

    We try and make sure we reply to everyone at least the first time. I really don't like being on the receiving end of silence so we try not to do that to others. Plus, I guess I sometimes contact people outside of our and their profile specs because I think they are interesting in some other ways. I feel like there is more to this community than just hookups. It's ok to be friendly with people you can't or wouldn't bonk! - Posted from rhpmobile

    Sorry OP, the problem as far as I can tell is that your profile is confusing as all hell. You want to try MMF, have "Men" as one of your "looking for" options and then fly into an ALL CAPS RAGE!!!!! at the thought of single males contacting you? WTF do you want? All I think when seeing that is "watch out guys, they may be bat-shit crazy". Have a look around at other profiles, see what they have and copy off them if you can't think of a better way to say what you want. Also, give a clear idea of what you are looking for.

    Maybe little off topic here but :) I've read couple responses stating taht if a males profile is not validated then it must be fake ?? What bout the honest guys here that post in the forums (as much as anyone) but haven't yet met anyone able (guest can't validate) to verify them??? Yes there are heaps of fakes here but not all the males r ??

    one of the cool things I saw on another site was a 'rating' and depending on your reply rate depended on your rating. which meant if you replied you were more at the front in searches.As a completionist I was always sure to reply to everything on there just to keep that perfect 100% :)

    Quoting 'Gr8whiteUnicorn' Sorry OP, the problem as far as I can tell is that your profile is confusing as all hell. You want to try MMF, have "Men" as one of your "looking for" options and then fly into an ALL CAPS RAGE!!!!! at the thought of single males contacting you? WTF do you want?

Have a look around at other profiles, see what they have and copy off them if you can't think of a better way to say what you want. Also, give a clear idea of what you are looking for.Thanks for the advice. You may just be right. Our profile was made a while ago & while our interests are definitely MMF, we do not need to find single males on here. Maybe that is where some of the confusion lies. As for the caps lock rage, that part of the profile was put up simply because we were getting swamped with single guys constantly messaging us & it just got frustrating. We will look at changing the profile detail & hopefully we can seem a bit clearer & not "bat-shit crazy!"

    Being validated and being verified are different things. You get verified by RHP to prove you're real, you don't need to have met anyone for this. To quote RHP: In order to verify your profile via photo, you must be prepared to submit a facial photo of yourself. This shows other members that you are genuine. Once we have verified your profile an icon will appear on your profile summary in search listings and on your profile page. Generally verification will not take longer than 24 hours. To do this, visit Home > Edit Profile/Settings > Account Verification > Profile Verification.

    That face pic will not appear in any of your galleries, unless you choose to upload it yourself.

    I know with us as a couple a lot of the time one of us has viewed msg but won't reply until the other half has seen it and we've spoken about our interest etc. So even though it says msg read with no reply doesn't always mean your being ignored. Unfortunately though sometimes a msg does get buried in that downtime...

    manner are free as cremecaramel said and it is funny how some do consider themselves to have manners but clearly don't...I personally always try to give the option for a thanks but no thanks if not interested by simply saying "reply is always appreciated either way" .... but in saying that sometimes you slip through the filter only to send another message to get a reply from that one with initial mutual interest back ... go figure hey !! I spos' as 'mesmerised' said , it comes with the territory hey!!

    Apologies.....sometimes, the private messages one gets are so many and in the end its hard to reply to all of them, or even get the chance to read most of them. However, some guys that were keen enough sent a follow up message and I replied. Due to the 'high volume' of messages I received, the ones I read and clearly were not matching to what's listed on my profile, I have ignored. so sometimes, its not that the person has no manners or is rude, sometimes its just so hard to reply everyone. perhaps if there was an option of sorting messages in terms of read/unread that might help things (?)

    Well I have a different approach. I reply to most messages, but if the first message someone sends me is just plain crude or rude I don't think they have earned a reply. I don't expect them to set the world on fire with their first message though. 2 real examples - I replied to " hello :) " That was the total message. But I didn't reply to " I would do anything to suck your cock ". And that was the total message too ... lol

    You won't believe this. This morning a member looked at my profile a couple of times, so I said hello. And while I was typing my previous post about crude first messages, this is their first message to me ..... lol "hey i want ur cock... : ) call me in 10 min 0414......"

    How hard is it to make a template saying"thanks for your message we are working thru the replies" at the very least you are acknowledged and know its not a fake

    Hey all... We have experienced this all too often. There are so many "fake people" on here it's not funny.This is our second time as paid members, and we think the rudest thing is when you contact a guest and they cant even MSG back, even just a "THANKS, BUT NO THANKS" We have 10 days left on our membership and will not be wasting the money or our time on paying up again. Might just become one on the "GUESTS" LOL The saddest part is their are real people on here that would be missing out on some really good friendships, and some really fun times. Try and have fun people....

    We have forgotten a couple of times but try most of the time probably 95% of the time with a reply even if it's a no thanks. W do find a lot of fake profiles of people pretending to be someone that they are not!.. But it's everywhere not just hear!.. I have even thought about designing my own site where unless your verified there is no profile that way people can actually get somewhere but I am u sure on a couple of the web parts on how to create them (the log on part) it's a work in progress!

    This is mainly directed toward couples seeking singles. I quite often get messages (probably the majority of messages from couples) who want me to go for a play meet that day/night. I hardly ever reply to these messages. The reason is that I don't feel the need to put myself in a situation where I would feel pressured to engage in play with people I don't know yet. I like to get to know people a bit first and I clearly state on my profile that I'm not into random one-nighters. When I check my messages on RHP, I am usually already in my PJ's with sore feet, a glass of wine and a bowl of dinner and far far far removed from any sexual inclinations. If I do reply with a polite "thanks but no thanks", they don't take no for an answer and try (in vain) to convince me to come over. For future reference: Thanks but no thanks means one of the following "No, I'm already in my PJ's and fluffy slippers. No, I'm not going to move from my well-earned post-work resting place to put on uncomfortable lingerie, makeup and slap myself awake enough to drive to your place on the south side of Brisbane. No, I am not willing to drive that bloody far to your home for a first meeting. In fact, no, I will NOT meet at your home for a first meeting. " In other words: Just because you're horny right now doesn't mean I will drop everything and be at your door. That doesn't make me a rude bitch, it makes me a real person!
