Yeah, I do not get the “friend request” feature. Or, at least, I don’t get how people are using it.
I know the only time I would ever entertaining accepting a friend request if it’s from someone we got to know in the real world for some time. And, by then, our communication is off-site anyhow, so it’s almost pointless.
Totally agree, no response is a response. I think we’ve all had that happen.
What’s new to me though-I send message, they decline to reply…but send a friend request?
Denied lol
We used to respond with no, thank you and people would become indignant. Nobody owes explanations for not being interested.
No response IS a response.
Nobody is entitled to communication on a dating app. Incoming messages that show absolutely no thought was put in deserve exactly the same or lower level of effort. Most messages are obvious copy/paste that neither require nor inspire response.
On any of these sites, you have to accept that no answer is an answer.
Granted, if someone sends a long, thought-out message you should definitely at least thank them and say why they'd be incompatible if there's no interest. But I get why some messages do not get any response. Lazy "what's up" messages, unsolicited dick pics or a blatant disregard of their profile. And then sometimes people are tending to other matters. Maybe you messaged someone who gets a dozen messages a day.
We've sent out messages that have gone unanswered several times. And we've had conversations just up and die. That's just the way it is.
We say it's very rude not to respond with a simple NO or YES. Afterall, if your message is friendly or complimentary, that deserves a reply. We respond to any message we get. It's the right thing to do.
Posting the same question over and over again for 1/3 of the forum topics shows a lack of commitment. You should shoot for 3/4 at minimum.
Some do, some don't. That happens.
I can't stand it either.
No pics or can't tell what you look like = no reply
Read the profile and can tell you didn't read our = no reply
Copy and paste message = no reply
Message that we can tell you didn't read our profile = no reply
For us we learned a long time ago.. look all in the eyes as you pass and say Hello or something.. takes them off guard especially those who want to do harm to you.. they know you are not afraid!
Something many have no clue how to do or what to say..for us we talk with almost everyone who are NOT idiots!
Both of us are A personalities and leaders in our fields.. thats how we got here never, ever sitting on sidelines , learning from our wins and failures!
More than likely for the same reason, people don’t make eye contact and smile or say good morning walking down the street to a stranger. I try to answer all mail. Hello thank you for the message however, Or holy crap. When can we fuck? it’s literally free to be kind and the cost of being rude is quite high.
Are you asking a question in your initial mail or just saying hi or similar?
Anyway, if you're getting a response 10% of the time, congratulations, because you're in the top 2% of members.
Nobody owes you a response, you're unlikely to get a response, so deal or go out and meet people in person.
that has been asked and answered multiple times. are you opening your pictures to people you contact, since you have no pic showing? are you sending mail only to people interested in in single males?
Why can’t people answer mail with either yes or a no or not interested
