This is very true, why many women do not answer messages. But I will answer and say Not interested we are not a match. Some sites have a auto reponse to use to say that to anyone that messages You. It would be nice to at least receive something in reply I would think. Many Men just look at photos. I had so many views a day from Men out of my age range. So I took down the main photo. Most men don't read profiles.

Oh that makes perfect sense.

Or a foot.

exactly, you cant please everyone

these sites should carry an expectation that not everyone will respond to every message, and life should have taught the lesson that a no response is often times as good as a polite no thank you

its just more difficult to politely type 'no thank you' without inviting a discussion about reasons or invoking ill will


and there is the possibility that the receiver is frustrated or offended by something you typed in your message, however innocently it was meant, or perhaps stated in their profile a certain preference or mandate that your post seems to have overlooked,

and doesnt want to further engage you ( I use 'you' generally and not in reference to anyone specific)


and there is always the possibility that someone just forgot to respond before other messages came in or that they havent been checking their mails or in the forums for a bit

we tend to be too 'cyber' connected these days, expecting constant and instantaneous feedback which just isnt a realistic standard for most people with any life to live up to,,,,

There is nothing wrong with a woman choosing not to reply to a private message sent by a complete stranger. A woman has a right to make that choice if she wants to. Whining about that choice shows disrespect for a woman's right to make that choice.
