I have been on this site a while and I am still puzzled by some of the messages I get. Often I don't have time to properly respond, or I'm not particularly interested. I have received very ugly, hateful, and borderline threatening messages from guys for not responding to their messages. I have received the same level of rudeness from guys that I have tried to let down easy. What are other experiences with this? Is there a preference for being regected?

Honestly coming from this site of the fence line I try to respond to any messages I may get. Minus the majority of the messages that are generated from a computer woman. But it does happen over here to.some of my messages are ignored and some of my messages get a return that says thanks but I'm not interested. And honestly it depends on the man's maturity level. If he takes it with a grain of salt then maybe his maturity level is actually that of an adult and he may actually be what your looking for. If the guy takes it to hear and leaves you a nasty response back then maybe his maturity level is such in the comic book realm and would be no good for you anyhow. So in that case I would have to agree and say block them and be thankful you didn't engage them with any time. However with that being said...I'm free

As I guy who has used these types of sites for years I realize that the ladies get tons of mail compared to the guys. Often emails get deleted without even being read.
I try to not take offense if a message does not get replied to. I'd say about 1 in 10 get a reply. At times if I am very interested, I will send a second message, not a mean one, just a second one, about half of the time that is also ignored, the other half a simple "not interested" or "sorry, I deleted by mistake" comes along.
If you have the time, a simple "sorry, not interested" is good but then the guy's going to want to know why. So in many ways to simply ignore is probably best.
What does kind of annoy me though is when you do have a dialog going with someone and after several email exchanges it suddenly stops with no explination. I find that puzzling.

regardless of how the message is handled , I see no need to get all butt hurt about it if its not how you would've expected.... its not like she is the only one out there and you just HAVE to meet/be with her...
if she doesn't message me then I look at it that she has other interests...
if she messages me back telling me she has no interest , then I leave it at that and move on... no need to message her back with rude comments like some guys here do...

^^^^^ This!
Sometimes, if she feels the need to respond, a simply thank you, but no thank you works well.
Regardless of what you do or how you respond, there will always be those who react poorly. Simply count your blessing that they showed their true colors now instead of later.
Think of it as this...If he acts like this because you're not interested...You made a good choice in not accepting him in the first place.

Most women won't reply to my messages. The last one that did reply was really pissed off cuz I wanted to know up front if she was always a woman.
Then there is the hate mail from women cussing me out and I never even contacted them. What is wrong with you women anyway? Obviously mental problems!

I agree. I try to answer all messages unless it's a scammer or friend request and I've never talked to the guy before. I've made some nice friends by being honest. Other men have cussed me out calling me names threatened to come to Kansas to hit me. It's scary to have to tell someone you aren't interested, only because I am afraid of their response.

Rather cynical view.... That's like saying if she's not into you she must be a gold digger, or a lesbian. I've had messages unrequited, but it's just a disappointment. I don't hold any bitterness towards a person that doesn't want to talk to me. It's just their choice.

Because if a dangerously unbalanced idiot has that response over an email exchange...imagine after 5 years of co-mingled finances and material property.

It would be nice to get a polite, friendly, reply....even if it is only a rejection letter. Still, I can understand how time, fear, etc, may make that unlikely. Personally, I am such a great catch that any woman who does not have me is missing out, and is only hurting herself by not having me. It doesn't bother me if she wants to hurt herself by denying herself that bliss that is me. Since I am so amazingly wonderful, and sure to get another woman if one does not want me ( I-in fact-got one after being here less than two weeks ) I can handle the rare rejection when it does come my way. The guys who can't handle rejection-in whatever form-are those who have self esteem issues...who do not love themselves, who hate themselves, etc. They are angry, bitter, people, and do respond badly to being rejected...sending hate emails, death threats, etc, to women who reject them. I can see why women do not want to risk getting such a response, and so just ignore the guys they are not interested in. In a perfect world, such threats, etc, would not exist, and it would be considered extremely rude to not reply politely to a polite contact message. Since this is not a perfect world, and threats do exist, it is understandable-to reasonably minded males-that women choose the "no reply IS a reply" option.

isn't it bad when you leave in the middle of a massage, with your hands all oily n shit, and or maybe stones on their back...n stuff.... and then just leave, without letting them know that you're finished, or....well, a massage returned isn't that bad....n stuff...
if they know what they're doing. n stuff.
