So, I am definitely no stranger to online dating websites; however, I do have a question for the ladies. Whenever I send mail to women that I'm interested in, I usually keep it short, to the point, and very casual. I don't send really long messages because I'll let my profile do the talking...if you don't like my profile, a long message isn't going to do any good! I try not to use generic title lines or anything like that...I want to show that I actually read their profile.



I will see that someone has read my message, but doesn't even bother to respond to me. What are the possible reasons that you all have had when you do this kind of thing? Is it that you don't want to lead a guy on by merely responding at all? Sometimes, I'll ask a question just because I'm curious, and I may not even be romantically interested in that person. Or perhaps you don't talk to people a long distance away from you?



I'm not mad or anything like that....just very curious. I always try to respond to everyone who sends me mail, so that courtesy will be given back to me.

Sometimes I get messages I don't respond to because they sound canned/copy pasted.



like "hi my name is Michael be my friend please" or a really long rubbish letter about beauty or scripture that sounds just ambiguous enough to work.



Personally though, short or long if it sounds like somebody typed it with 6th grade or higher grammar/sentence structure to me I will respond to it no matter what the person or their profile looks like.

Excellent question Jaybirdz. This is a Christian site, but there is a lot of judging done here. Most of the women on here seem to decide your not worth a response just from a picture and a paragraph. There may be a few weirdos out there, but it seems like all guys are being punished How much of hassle would it be to just click the button explaining that you do not think we would be a good match? Ladies, what about the guy who wants to live out the meaning of Ephesians 5:25? Are you prepared to possibly pass him by?
