What I see most the time from the ones that say this is that many of the ones they are e-mailing has not even been online in over a month.. At times it is best to read profiles prior to e-mailing them, to see when the last time they have been online.. Many turn off their notifications so they have no idea anyone has e-mailed them.. And then at times they are e-mailing those that look like models or half their age.. Sometimes a little bit of research to make sure one is active prior to e-mailing them is the solution... Then it also depends what one e-mails the first time.. that will make a difference if they get a response.. 
Absolutely true. I'm a noob at this, haven't dated since the early 80's when I got married. But even I wouldn't write someone without reading their profile first. And it seems rather self defeating to write something off the wall in an introduction letter, lol. |

But...if you are at an event, say....something both of you are internested in, and you attempt to start a conversation with someone...it IS rude for them to just turn away from you and walk off without saying anything, or in any way acknowledging you. Of course..that shows their character in that they don't possess the decency to respond at least....in vwhich case fine....I wouldn;t be interested in someone that rude anyway. Here's an example. I was at a bluegrass jam up in Bowling Green KY a while back. It was a pot luck...a bi-weekly thing. I saw this new guy come in..one I had never seen before, plus he was cute.. So I went up to him to help him figure out where the plates, cups drinks, etc. were... I kid you not..the guy looked at me an ~sneered~ at me, then walked away... THAT, my friends, is the equivelent of just ignoring someone who sends you a nice, sincere message online.. If he, for whatever reason thought I was gross, ugly, disgusting (why else would he have made that face?)..then dang..he could have just mustered up the decency to say "thanks, but I think i can figure out myself..." Then I'd have left him alone. Holy smokes, that's beyond rude and into awful! |

I have 72 men writing me messages on here although my profile clearly states I am here for the forums. I am not obliged to answer them. I guess they did not read my profile. I agree, that is clearly their own mistake. |

Sorry, but believing that it is rude to not respond is silly and untrue. First, no response is a response. Second, the rude part usually comes in when the person actually does respond with a polite "not interested" and engenders the inevitable "why not?" Insults follow. "You think you're so much better than me?" Etc., etc. This scenario happens all the time and many people, especially a woman who is NOT INTERESTED, prefer avoiding it. Ask yourself this: Do you say hello to any woman you find attractive and interesting in the real world? It's no different here. Some will respond and some will ignore. Do you bother the ones who don't say hello back or do you realize they're not interested in communicating? Of course not. I don't bother them, nor get upset if I'm told no. Actually prefer some type of answer, even if not the desired one. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but it being different from mine doesn't make either of them "silly". |

Yes, I realize there is a lot of spam mail, and that some of you may get tons of messages. But when someone has obviously spent some time to write you, (as opposed to just saying hi) some kind of response would be nice. Even a simple "no thank you" would be fine, if that's the case. Call me old fashioned, but just ignoring people is a bit rude.

Do you drive a Vehicle?

I drive every day, don't have any problem doing so. Texas has very little public transportation, it would be very difficult to get by without driving.

Do you mean in the search results or in your inbox?
Search, just click search and set a distance from you. If you click mail, there's a button near the bottom of the screen to limit who can write you. That will block most unwanted messages. Hope that helps you! |

I've had a couple of experiences lately related to this topic! Just this morning, walking into the gas station I held the door for the woman behind me and promptly got cursed up one side and down the other! Fine start to the day.
About a week ago it was drizzling as I came out of the grocery store. A nicely dressed woman was standing by her car, with a flat tire. I stopped and offered to change it for her, so her clothes wouldn't be ruined. She started screaming, making wild accusations and threatening to call the cops. I just shook my head and went on my way. Yes, I too see women asking what happened to chivalry. Incidents like these are what happened to it. Personally, I'm not going to change due to it. Most ladies smile nicely and say thank you; I've had crummy days where that was all it took to turn my day around. The ones who don't appreciate it, in my personal experience are anecdotal and I refuse to allow them to drag me down to their level. |
