In computing world this dilemma was solved very long ago: if at expected time you get the signal (reply to your email in this case) - that is "1". If no signal - that is "0". Called binary math. "0" is as meaningful value as "1". So you can interpret no reply as "Thanks, not interested, passing" - simple, right?
Thank you.
We look at it this way- plenty of fish in a big pond. We send one email. After that we make a note on the profile and thats that. We dont want to be annoying. Of course it would be easier to simply receive a reply we are not interested, or we'll get back to as usually only one member of the couple is viewing mail, but that rarely happens.
If they meet you in person and have no recollection of your profile or messages they may not be interested at all and are trying to semi-politely dodge the conversation. The other option is that only one spouse or the other has seen your online profile. Also, keep in mind that many couples have a zero response policy when it comes to saying you weigh zero pounds. Whatever their reasons may be for that you need to recognize that your responses will increase if your real weight is listed.
We have no problem w/ having a thicker skin or taking a no response as a response, we’re not new to this but when you chat w/ that a couple through other sites or even in person and they say they have never received an email from you, you wonder if it’s the site and not just a no response to an email. Happens once and you chalk it up to that one time, more than once and you think it could be something else.
You send another and another and another with no reply and you do not know why you get blocked?
Seriously?
No reply is a reply.
Due to recent changes, free members have very limited communication on SLS, if any at all. So if you are contacting free.members they may have no way to respond
"So we send another and another, and nothing. Normally we end up blocked, which we don’t understand either. "
Really? You don't understand?
I think I just might find someone I'm ignoring, that keeps sending me emails, as annoying and Blockable, but maybe that's just me.
~rabbit~
This has been going on with the internet since forever it's not new. You need to grow some thicker skin and get over it. No answer is an answer.
Hello all, we are not new to the lifestyle. Curious to knw if anyone has had trouble w/ sending/receiving emails? We don’t like the feature that a person/couple can read an email but it’s not actually “opened,” so you never know if they received it or not. We have heard from those who claimed to never have received our emails either. So we send another and another, and nothing. Normally we end up blocked, which we don’t understand either. If you’re receiving the emails and aren’t interested, can’t we all be adults and state that first rather than just blocking someone? Lol
Not sure why our emails aren’t going through. And don’t get us started on IM. Now the free memeber can’t reply back, makes it harder to get in contact w/ newbies to “show them the ropes.”
