Emailed various folks regarding their ads, always reading the ad first so making sure that I may be what they are after and not one reply has surfaced and I always attach a pic when requested.
Ok if there not intrested but a quick mail back saying no thanks wouild be nice, anyone else get this treatment or is it just me ?
I have to say gibbles that we promise to reply to every email and we do. Even "male 21 leicester" got a reply of "no thanks"!
But it is seriously tempting to ignore the idiotic ones at times!
But that is just how we deal with it personally - cannot speak for anyone else!
Good luck!
Regards
Fred
thanx guys, as previously stated I only reply to ads that ask for someone like me and not those who specify otherwise.
Maybe my replys arent worded corectly but I certainly hope I havent offended anyone if they were.
Keep with it Gibbles,
Have luck

Hi Gibbles,
As has already been posted we also always reply to e-mails providing that they include what we have asked for and that they also meet our criteria.
You say that you make sure you only reply to ads where you meet the above and we have no reason to think otherwise so all we can say is that not everyone is rude enough not to reply to you. The decent ones will if only to say "thanks but no thanks"
We get our share of idiots and as has already been said, we ignore these.
The thing to remember is do you really want to meet someone who doesn't have the decency to reply.
Good luck and keep trying, there are lots of good and decent people on this site.
thanx guys will keep trying and see what happens
Hi Gibbles,
We have to admit we are one of those cpls who are guilty of not replying to E-Mails from those that are not for us.
We do have good reason for this and that is we firmly believe if we say no thanks we do not have to give reasons, however, we have on a few occassions then had the recipients open into further bouts of e-mailing trying to find out why.
One thing your query has bought to our attention though is we do not (or did not) state this in our add so ty we have now updated our add to read none response means you are not for us.
We all have different oppinions of what is the right or wrong protocol to use within the swinging world but one thing we are sure about is it is individual choice and although you may upset some people some times you need to do what is right for yourselves.
Good luck in your endeavures

cheers paulnolive that u put no responce means not intrested on your ad is a good idea take note peeps.
It is those who put photo gurantees reply and then dont reply when a photo is sent that anoy me.
Well I think all my initial mails out are worded in a polite, but informative way.
I reckon I get about a 5% return on them, which is not a lot. Some correspondance has got quite lengthy....and then it stops....for no apparent reason, which is quite frustrating.
Stick with it, but it is a very timeconsuming process
Hi there,
We too always reply to ads whatever we decide. Now though if it is single guys after we reply we block their e-mail cause so many have insisted on continuing to email, and some have even been quite nasty about it.
Its simply a matter or being polite. Is someone goes to the effort of sending us an email then we think it would be rude not to respond.

Thanx for the replys guys.
If I get a reply saying not intrested then I won't email that advertiser again unless they contact me re getting re aquainted.
Being a single male I can understand that I am in the biggest group of users on here with the smalest demand for us so people can pick and choose between us.
Obviously some peeps must be flodded with emails ( single women I suspect ) and those who are must at some point either delete in blocks or just not reply due to sheer scale of replys.
I've tried in the past to respond to all replies, if only with a polite "no thanks". In the main this worked OK, usually that was that, occassionally the guy would respond with "oh well, thanks for letting me know anyway", but sometimes (and this I guess would comprise about 5% of guys) that "no thanks" respose would obviously give the guy hope and he would send one or usually more emails, that were obviously designed to win me over - very annoying! So, what I did was stop replying to everyone unless I was almost positive they were a goer. Yes, this probably meant I missed out on some decent guys, but better than being hassled by dickheads. What I really don't like are guys who say" I sent you an email last week, you haven't responded, maybe you didn;t get my mail". I always reply back to those with sarcasm, whch often results in several more.
In short, guys, be polite, send one mail and if no reply, DON'T start hassling people. Believe it or not, I for one, remember email addresses, it's easy to spot the hasslers, and believe me, you've no chance.
Ah, Flirt, you're so innocent! Sending a mail a week or two after the first saying something like "I don't know whether you got the first one" is without a doubt the oldest trick in the book in an attempt to get a response. Yes, people can delete messages by mistake, but it is so much more likely that the person in question deleted your reply on purpose. For a single female who gets literally hundreds of replies, it would be full time job to reply to them all. You must respect this side of things. Save yourself some time and don't re-send!
Hey Blue ,
Not saying im inocent but I hear people get 40 emails a day , if that being the case do they look at all of them or if they ' find ' what they are looking for in the first 10 would they even look at the rest ? I've learnt a lesson your right I wont resend and I certainly didnt do it to try and be sneeky so I guess it has taught me a lesson !!
