I have now had 2 people respond to a message I sent them, saying nice to meet you, and 1 asked how old I am... telling me clearly she did not bother to glance at the profile at all...
Really, why bother wasting time responding to someone if you have no intentions of actually chatting with the person?

Yeah , seems no one reads profiles , just look at pic's which is crazy. Welcome to mingle good luck in your search here...

I have to say, sadly, you are correct. As it is in society, more often than not, people are more concerned with how someone looks and dresses, as if those 2 things have ANYTHING at all to do with WHO a person is...
That is quite funny, because the people who find "love" based on shallow perceptions, often say they have a hard time finding the right person...
Maybe I am the dummy here/ lol

Well, if they can simply ignore a person's profile, you can simply ignore such stupidity. There are still members here who will respond more than just hi, hello, nice to meet you...etc.
Welcome to the forum.
Goodluck

They actually were making an attempt to chat with you ... they just didn't check your profile and based on that you decided they didn't want to chat with you.

hahaha I just direct em back to my profile if that info is listed
tell em to read it and get back to me
and I will quiz them on it

Humm you sent the first e-mail they were responding to you. At least they responded, guess if they don't respond they would be shallow as well???

No win situation there .......

Just set your e-mail filters so no one ever mails you. It is 100 percent guaranteed to eliminate any bothersome contact.

It's because some people are just...

Most profiles today state "Tell ya later" or "Just ask" or "I never know what to say in these things anyways". So if she looks hot and looks as if she has a brain then I am turned on.

Dude!

2 people emailed you back?!!!??

Yeah, that's what I was thinking and saying too, but apparently everybody, bar you and me, is walking around with a blindfold on and earplugs in or something

How can you moan about people not wanting to chat, when they've actually REPLIED to your message???

Actually, TxsGal ^^^ was all over it :-)

Wait! Is this a rant about getting replies?


Inconceivable!

I do wonder why people who are clearly not even close to my criteria still trying to hustle a relationship. I can see a Hi or Hello as friendly even thank people if they send a compliment but it has gotten where you give any response you are perceived to be madly in love. Then if you try to cut it of you get the name calling or "Well I am a real man you need and the whole lecture about how age does not matter." True maybe they are actually past puberty but with less experience than some of the clothes I wear sorry you are not the man for me.

I have done that as well
I don't think I heard back ...

Yeah, next thing ya know there'll be a "bad guy" ranting about not being able to find love.

I have long thought there is a lid for every pot.

But I just don't get why people beat themselves up chasing people who clearly have nothing in common, don't want to enjoy their lifestyle, or who would have zero interest in raising their kids in a marital situation or supporting them as a "house boy" not even taking into account if there is any mutual attraction.

Why would anyone agree to starting that kind of no win relationship? It is like they want to be a victim.

Is it cool to say someone has scammed you?

I would be embarrassed to admit most of the scammers I see on line got one over on me they are so obvious.

Well regardless of some of the cleverly sarcastic comments above I do understand what you're saying.
But I think some people do respond just to be nice and then decide to check out profiles later. Personally I'm like you, I would never respond to a message without checking a profile first.
