What happened to common courtesy???? Being on a dating site has its share of emotions.....you sit and wait to see if someone will message you. Then if someone does message you you start to think ok is this guy just gonna want sex and talk dirty like the other one did. Now I understand that not all guys out there are like that. But here is my thing.....why dont people take the time and simply reply to emails the receive. If your not interested in the person at least send them a kind reply to let them know. I know I reply to the emails I get (which are very very few which is why I have time to reply LOL)
Does anyone else feel like this????

Courtesy went right out the door with respect! Now that I am done laughing at a message I just received complaining about my profile, telling me I will NEVER land on man on here because I put men down on my profile. I guess its all a matter of how you take my profile! I think I would rather not get any messages as to some of the ones I do get. Oh well this site is always a good laugh if nothing else.
Dont "sit and wait for a message in return", your only setting yourself up for disappointment.

Well, I consider a match to be someone that fully reads a profile and understands as much of it as possible before emailing and wanting to get to know each other. If a guy does not read my profile and at least make a comment about something in my profile he liked and if he is not suitable according to my profile, often I will not bother to answer.
Why? Because I have had some men get real crappy and trashy when I refuse them or tell them we are not a match or at times I even would say, so what about my profile did you like? (the email usually says they read my profile and liked it...blah, blah, blah)And they replied avoiding answering... BUSTED! I will not tolerate liars or people that cheat. So, he just showed me his type by his emails. Easier to just ignore the people that OBVIOUSLY do not match.
Less pain all the way around if you ask me.

I am beginning to wonder if courtesy and respect exist at all anymore. I have sent out a few emails, some answer and some don't. I don't sweat it. If they can't acknowledge they received the email to heck with them. As is all things you have your good and bad. This is suppose to be a site to meet and make friends. I will keep trying there are some really nice folks out there. Hope to meet again.

I had a lady email me earlier tonight, wondering why I didn't want to date her. I reply back and told her that, I had read her profile more than a couple of times, and I didn't match anything she was looking for in a man. She was a very attractive young lady for being just 62 years old. WOW!
She was't being rude, she just wondered why, and I made time to clarify my response to her.
I reply to all my email quickly and let them know politely if I'm not interested in them. That's just common courtesy.

If someone is emailing and being conversational, I will email them. But not the ones that talk dirty to me or the ones that have empty comments that obviously have not read the profile. Anyone that acts like they have a brain, I reply to. I have no idea if anyone else knows what I am talking about. There are many really ridiculous obvious cut and paste emails or just plain people that saw my picture and didn't bother to read who I am. To me, that is not common courtesy to not get to know who I am and what I am looking for before they email.
MM, I don't think women get as mean as men do when they get turned down.
