Is it customary for people to reply to an ad placed even if they arent interested?
I only ask as ive replied to a few potentials and not have anything back, i thought it would at least be polite to email back to say sorry but no thankyou (or words to that effect). I know i would.
Least then u know whats going on, and perhaps where u are going wrong lol.

Matt,
unfortunately not everyone as you've discovered, shares the same level of decency/respect in replying even if to say thanks but no thanks. These certainly wont be the last that don't reply back, so all i can say is get used to it
However, also remember that they might have recieved hundreds of replies to an ad, and that it might not be possible to reply to everyone. The ones that do are certainly a rare breed, and make a refreshing change. Whenever i recieve a thanks but no thanks, i allways reply just to say it makes a change to be told, and wish them good luck.
Just be polite, and don't expect too much, and thank those that do reply back.
Good luck Matt

I am sorry but I don't reply to all the people who respond to my add. The reason being I am one of the elusive single females. I have had an add up for less than a week, and had over 14,000 hits and over 200 replies. There is no way I can reply to them all. Most just get a quick glance to see if the contain an add number and are local to me. Which is what I asked for in my advert. The rest are binned. If it sounds harsh I am sorry but to reply to all would take hours each day.

Martha ... there aint nowt wrong in that... but on forum something akin to freindships are made slowly gradually as we get to know one another....trust is earned... it does not depend on ad number but on value ( however that is judged ) of ones post... and here we learn about one another...
yes a diff world from the ads site ... but a far more open honest area.... phoneys don't last long... lurk and see and then dip feet in ...
hav fun at liaisons

Another forum that I feel a need to respond to 
:lol:
Please dont anyone take offence :doh:
I joined a dating site (with my husbands consent)
I gave a good description of myself and what I was looking for, I didn't really expect much response, because I'm a 45 year old woman, and every profile I read were men my age' looking for' women 18 to 40 :doh:
Are they for real?
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
I was totally overwhelmed by the response I got, mostly by men that had no interest in meeting, they were just interested in showing/receiving 'rude' pics and cyber sex :roll: (how many times can you describe a blow job before it gets boring)? :roll: :roll:
But I've slowly sifted through them (took me weeks)! And I eventually found one, we've met for a drink and hopefully, weather permitting, we're both meeting him on Friday night.
:boink:
Think I've rambled on a bit Matt_for_all
ops:
BTW how old are you?
:kiss:
The point of my boring rambling post was....I've forgotten

Isn't senility a pain in the arse? :crazy: :crazy:

I put an ad on the site within hours of registering because I thought it was the done thing to do. I took it down when I realised that it would take something amazing for mine to stand out in the thousands of single male ads. So I've made comments in the forum and I've made some really good mates. I think that's definitely the way to go.

'Male looking for female' ads have very little chance of success. I can't say nil, because, just occasionally, they work. As Martha has said, you can't spend all your time saying 'Thanks, but no thanks' to 600 different replies, it doesn't leave any time for shagging!!!
But a tip I saw previously is that the females or couples, when placing their ad, put a type of disclaimer on it saying
' As we expect to have more responses than we can cope with and couldn't possibly reply to all, please check back on this advert after xx date and we will confirm on here if we have found who we are looking for. Thank you for your responses'
That way you don't feel like you have been ignored and don't get too despondent.
Most successful advert? I really don't know, but the one I placed in the 'Lets Meet Up' forum has had a good response rate, certainly well above nil. I hope to be publishing my 'help for Newbies' soon, which hopefuly will give some guidance to ads and what works and what doesn't. Whatever, have fun on the site and treat sex as a pleasant by-product of this fun. It can work, I assure you.

Have to say that I think anyone who expects to get an email back for every one they send is being a tad too idealistic!
I struggle to reply to all my work emails, and I guess as certainly the females have pointed out, that they get too much response to handle!
I have sent lots of emails, had very few responses back, but did get one saying thanks but no thanks. I think most people have the best intentions, but not all succeed
