First off, I get random nudges. Sorry, I have to say that I wont nudge a complete stranger with a kiss or a hug. Now if there was a waving nudge, then I would use that more often. Secondly, I respond to all emails. It is just polite. Even if its a sorry, no, you are too far away, young or what ever. As long as its not a -You are sexy, or do you want to hook up?- I will be respectfull with a reply. ( A -your hot- usually gets a -you need glasses- response.) I dont understand how hard it is to write a couple of words and let the other person know if you are interested or not. Common courtsy died with the dodo bird. IMO

So does that mean one should send out a quick note if a profile has been checked?

I admit to having ignored the letters of guys with young kids since they obviously didn't read my profile. But generally I'll write back even if there are no common interests.

Curiously,

when I first joined I thought it would be cute to send off a email to every person that viewed my profile.........I would say stuff like "I saw you peeking at me"........some people just can not take a joke

Personally I dont send emails to lookers and peepers. There are some that look every day but never write. So I mostly figure that they are not really interested unless they write.

Okay. That's kinda what I figured.
