All I ask is that when you send me a message, it doesn’t read like you typed it with your eyes closed, high on cough syrup. It doesn’t need to be your life story, and it probably shouldn’t include a descriptive scenario of how you’re going to practice your bondage and/or domination techniques on me before I’ve even decided whether or not I’m interested in you. Additionally, it’s safe to assume that I’m fine, so you don’t need to ask “how are you?”
How can one be creative while texting on SLS? See your point of view ? Guess I take it the wrong way ‘ how can one be artist or articulate while trying to talk and meeting possible if any? Does that mean Quick pro Quo hence forth make a outline of what your saying
I know, right? What am I talking about? ;-)
I start out bored and usually quickly jump to the end of my finite patience, especially now that it's pretty clear it will just peter out (there's a pun in there somewhere, but I'm not going to hunt for it) anyway. So, yeah, blocking people who can't carry on a conversation that is at least semi-interesting (I give leeway for shyness) makes sense.
Hi. Hi. How are you? Fine. You?
I sometimes play the same game. Usually three or four volleys before I get bored.
I’ve mentioned this before, but I will occasionally go the other way and respond with a three or four paragraph wandering missive. That normally stops them in their tracks.
Articulate?

I kind of hesitate to say this in a thread populated solely by articulate men, but my experience is that a fairly large subset of men communicate poorly and use words as if they're paying by the word and are on a tight budget. I generally just ignore one word overtures, but sometimes play along. Hi. Hi. How are you? Fine. You? It never goes anywhere, no matter how long I give it to spool out. Preemptively blocking people is probably efficient, based on what I've discovered.
MrTrainer,
Yup, we see that a lot. It makes us wonder what a face-to-face conversation will be like. It’s as if they expect the other party to put in the effort that they are unwilling to give themselves. We don’t necessarily block them, but we will answer in kind with a short one or two word answer, putting the burden of continuing back on them.
Not to parrot what 888 said, but sometimes people are replying just for the sake of being polite, but if there’s no interest generated on their part, they aren’t likely to invest a lot of time providing contact information, going into their backstory, and discussing their entire list of unfulfilled fantasies.
Maybe the details you’re giving are to in depth, lengthy or unappealing to the point you lose their interest.

One sentence repliers are odd characters. I think that anyone you're exchanging messages with should reciprocate an equal level of openness.
I've had inquiries from various profiles and they will ask specifics of me but when I go to ask specific questions to them [like their preferred times for communication, where they like to meet, what kinks they're into], their replies are non-replies. They answer "when I'm on," to "a bar" and "just have fun." These half ass replies fall way short, especially after they've gotten more detailed answers from me. It's like they aren't really serious, are poorly educated in the art of quid-pro-quo or (most likely) they aren't what they claim to be and are just jerking you around.
To deal with it, I've just started blocking said people and moving on. They are a waste of your time.
