Why do you ignore men's messages?

They are not interested / don't like you!

️️️ I am not interested in them either, I just want friends

There can be multiple reasons. Here are some:

They haven’t been back online to read your message.You’ve only been here a day so be patient.

They perhaps have email filters which prevent you from messaging them.

They may not have been online for over a month in which case they may never read your message much less reply.

They may not be interested in you. No reply IS a reply.

No one is obligated to reply to a message.

Generic “Hi” messages usually get ignored.

If you haven’t completed your profile, they won’t know if you would be compatible with them so won’t waste their time replying.

They receive too many messages and can’t reply to all (males outnumber females).

Etc, etc.

The list is endless.

Perhaps you are expecting too much in such a short timeframe.

I consider myself a shy girl and I do reply back to men who message me as long as they ask me questions I’m comfortable answering.

That is much better than

Because... if they send me a message they haven't even read my profile which says: I am here for the forums only.
If they disrespect my wishes why should I bother sending them a reply?

^^^^this

You might have to wait more than a whole day ! They may only log on once a week or so , People will think you are impatient and seek instant replies

️️️️

️️️ you too?

Oh yeah, you are right

Must be a "you" thing.

I never get ignored.

Very true Ma'am
I get tired of boring messages and when I'm been bulked with messages
I just view and not read nor reply 🤦‍♀️

I usually answer messages!

But I have filters on mail received.
