Answering mail

I can't stand it either.

"craft a decent profile, have a good default public photo"

I was just about to say this. We don't respond to people with no pics as I'm sure many don't.

Agree 100%.. if they cant read what we have written and just say "Hi" or send a Friend request without even chatting.. lets just say it gets old!

Its obvious they did NOT read our profile... and tell them so in our response!

We don’t waste our time responding to profiles with no pictures or a message that just says hi, what’s up, or wanna fuck.
If there’s effort put into the message we will reply even if it’s no thank you.

You aren't actually entitled to a response and the lack of an answer IS an answer.

As for why people don't, there are a lot of reasons. One is that it seems rude to say sorry not interested. Another is that they have lots of experience in saying that and having the response be "but why?" "that's not fair," or, my favorite, "you fucking bitch, I wouldn't fuck you anyway."

So, instead of whining and feeling entitled to a response - which almost guarantees that no one will respond, because see above about being whiny and entitled, which signals that you're not a great partner - craft a decent profile, have a good default public photo, and send short, but personalized introductory messages.

Not interested.

Why can't some people take a hint ?

Why can’t people answer mail. With either yes on no. Not interested
