To respond or not respond...that is the question


This is something I have thought about often, when someone requests that I respond to their emails even if I am not interested in them.

I have received many missives from individuals, that state that the "cool", "decent", "adult"(you get My point)thing to do, would be to respond to them whether or not I am interested in getting to know them.

The unmitigated gall! Who do they think they are? I did not join this site to be lectured on about My online etiquette or manners. Who made this rule? Why do I have to adhere to it?

If we are all adults, then why can some "adults" not accept that the mere act of Not responding, is in fact a response. It means, ~I Am Not Interested~, get it? Is that so hard to understand?

In many other areas of our lives, no response is often accepted, i.e. letters, phone calls, emails, ect..., why here, do people feel they have the right to demand a response by browbeating the the person they are trying to impress?

I receive many emails (damn that sounded conceited haha) and if there is no spark, I am Not going to waste My limited # of resopnses, on saying "No thank you".

So, to those of you that may want to ad this to your correspondence to Me, know that not only does this make me laugh, but also, you will most likely Not hear back from Me!

I read over your profile and blog, if you dont have any interest then you shouldn't be forced to return contact to someone out of obligation... I did find you interesting and would like to hear more, I cant write email but only reply to it... os if you like my profile as well, I would enjoy hearing from you.... -R-

Kat, 'Attraction' .. its such an illusive emotion. I never understand how/why some feel 'everyone' will be attracted to them. Arrogance or just stupidity .. either way, the exact reason we find them UNattractive. This never engenders a reply.

Ok, I will jump on your bandwagon.... I hate being the last one on though! LOL

As a standard member it is difficult to communicate with everyone and a strategy is warranted. I look at it that if they really want to contact you they will be persistant and will not waver from their goal. If they do not put forth the effort in an email, how will tey put forth the effort with you? Don't worry, they will get over it.... LOL

We can use this forum to communicate and neither one of us has to use an email!

Take care and Merry X-Mas.

In 5 minutes of reading you have questioned authority, resisted convention, refused to be pigeonholed, railed at stereotyping, shown an independence of spirit and opinion and displayed a formidable thought process. I am almostembarrassed to admit I was led here by an alluring pic.

Very understandable since there are about 20 men for every "real" woman on this site. Of course, that's another story. Bottom line, the men will will come to you. It's there problem if they can't figure out why you did not respond as a standard member. Should be a no-brainer.

I completely agree, now I don't really have that issue. But everyone should understand how this site works and that many of us have a limited number of responses. It's by no means poor manners on your part.

I wouldn't reply if I was you. Why should you. No reply IS your reply. I send out many emails and hardly ever get a response. It's part of the game. We play, we try.

I'm burning with desire.
