Sorry I think I just need a bit of a rant here. I'm a pretty down to earth kind of guy, always speak in complete sentences and am polite. Why is it then that some women on here, say that's what they are looking for, yet reject/delete my messages without even the courtesy of a "no thank you" or claim to be interested then when a caveman with a six pack comes along they seem to misplace the principles they claim to uphold. Why profess to want to meet someone with a particular attitude and outlook yet can never be bothered to reciprocate. Manners cost nothing!

Because they are inundated with messages every single day and don't have time to reply to them all?

Maybe your profile confuses the hell out of them? It did for me....a straight guy wearing a frock in some of his pics, with as many verifications from TVs and men as there are from women.

I don't judge...but maybe some of those you message do?

They were pictures taken at a social fancy dress birthday party and it says that on my profile. Most of the verifications are from people I've met at the socials as well.

All because you match the mental side of what someone is looking for does not mean you match the pysical side

O I know that, but it's not like I'm mailing everyone expecting a hit, if you get what I mean. I read the profiles (though alot of people don't it seems) and I take on board what they say etc etc. If there's no common ground from the get go there isn't any point obviously and I know a fair few swingers on this site who agree with me. Sometimes it seems people expect you to be a mind reader and that's half the problem. People aren't willing to even engage in the first place.

How many times a day do people say "because they get bombarded and don't have time to reply to everyone" as if that's always the reason, or good enough at all.

The point is, as poster said, manners cost nothing and if a person actually takes time to read a profile and write a proper message I personally think to just ignore it completely is the cowardly way.

No one is forced to reply to or acknowledge anyone - doesn't make them any less rude. If someone said good morning to you walking down the road you at least half smile back right?? If you don't then you're probably what is becoming wrong with society....

Oh I didn't mean just you, it's just such a boring argument in general.

For every single guy moaning about being ignored, there's always multiple people to immediately blame the way the site is, the guys level of effort or the fact that the ladies in question are just too popular.

Whilst all of those things can be and are true usually, some people are also just generally rude and as the post is about, hypocritical in saying they want someone to make an effort, but yet cannot reciprocate even by politely saying no Thankyou.

If you read the Site Rules..FAQ's

It does set out the do's and donts of Messaging, Why people think that not replying is rude is beyond me, do you reply to every Email you receive in your Hotmail/Google account, Do you reply to every request for a new Credit card/Double Glazing quote that falls through your letter box.

My female friend showed me her account a while back.

She'd had 32 messages, 28 of which she had no intention of following up. That was a pretty average day.

Would you copy and paste "sorry, but not interested" 28 times and click send?

Thought not

Entitlement has nothing to do with it. When people claim they want an effort to be made on their behalf to capture there interest, even if it is a no-thank you any sort of acknowledgement that an effort was made is only polite. Those people would be annoyed if it happened to them and I know it does because the statuses of such people that pop up on the browser just proves my point.

The truth hurts but honesty is always the best policy. Yes ok people might not want to hurt the feelings of others but it occurs anyway and they come off seeming either snotty, or like the post was originally about - hypocritical, which is never a good thing to be or even appear to be.

just accept the fact that you're not everyone's cup of tea, some folk won't reply however nice you or your messages are, don't rely on a swinging site to help your self esteem or provide you with a social life, and concentrate on things you can change to improve your own experience and don't stress about those you can't and you won't go far wrong

I don't think it's hypocritical.

My preferences on my profile are fairly loose - be tall, male and not a total idiot. I haven't replied to all 366 unread messages I've got because I let them build up for a while. I looked at all of their profiles, and yes while some are intelligent and tall, I just didn't fancy them. There will be just as many men where I 'fit' their criteria who don't fancy me and therefore don't message me.

I just don't understand when people say they would rather have a barrage of 'sorry don't fancy you' messages than a barrage of deletions. Maybe it means the responder is more of a nice person than the deleter....but neither of them want to meet you so the end result is the same.

P.s. you've really undone all your 'effort' and reasoned arguments on here with your ranty status, that's a huge turn off, especially to anyone who hasn't read this thread.

"Sorry I think I just need a bit of a rant here. I'm a pretty down to earth kind of guy, always speak in complete sentences and am polite. Why is it then that some women on here, say that's what they are looking for, yet reject/delete my messages without even the courtesy of a "no thank you" or claim to be interested then when a caveman with a six pack comes along they seem to misplace the principles they claim to uphold. Why profess to want to meet someone with a particular attitude and outlook yet can never be bothered to reciprocate. Manners cost nothing!"

Us women are so fickle

Chucking insults at people in the forums because they don't agree?

"How many times a day do people say "because they get bombarded and don't have time to reply to everyone" as if that's always the reason, or good enough at all.

The point is, as poster said, manners cost nothing and if a person actually takes time to read a profile and write a proper message I personally think to just ignore it completely is the cowardly way.

No one is forced to reply to or acknowledge anyone - doesn't make them any less rude. If someone said good morning to you walking down the road you at least half smile back right?? If you don't then you're probably what is becoming wrong with society....

Think FAQs will disagree with you.

Junk mail through your door, might be well thought out letter or advertising campaign, do you reply back to those?

When all is said and done, no one is owed a reply on this site whether it's a thought out message or not "

But I didn't put a sign up on my door inviting people to send me junk mail, specifically telling them that I demand more thought out personal advertising whilst having no intention to read it.....

Think that is the point everyone is missing.

It is not just that people are ignoring the OP.

It is these people that demand effort from others, but cannot reciprocate when it is handed to them...

You're just not what they are looking for. If non-response is so annoying then don't mail people, sit there and wait for the people who do have an interest to contact you.

The complaints of non-response to unsolicited mail are so old now, it is a sense of entitlement to tell people how you want them to spend their time on site i.e. respond to your email. You choose to put an effort in,you hope to reap a benefit from it, those you mail have no say in your decision to do this just like you have no say in their decision not to respond.

It's so tiresome to have others dictate what is 'common courtesy' and blanket declare all non-respondents to be the failing of society. Yes we have profiles set up to attract interest and yes we are advertising ourselves as such. But we are under no obligation to molly coddle total strangers. Yes if we emailed a profile saying we were interested then, as a result of communiaction either emails or photos, decided we weren't interested, at that point because we instigated contact you are entitled to the courtesy of a 'sorry you're not for me'.

"If someone said good morning to you walking down the road you at least half smile back right?? If you don't then you're probably what is becoming wrong with society.... "

What if EVERY person on the street said good morning to you? Every single person. How would you feel then?

How about you're walking down the street with your friend (metaphor for talking to a friend or fuck interest on fab) and every stranger interrupts you as they walk past?

If you're walking somewhere rural (metaphor for not being constantly inundated with messages) then you aren't going to get many interruptions. If you're walking in a major city (metaphor for being inundated with messages constantly) then you're more likely to get fed up and ignore people, and maybe even not go out at all (metaphor for turning filters on).

It doesn't take much thought to think about it from the other person's point of view. I wish more people would - the world might be a kinder place.
