General

Speaking for me, so many times, I try to start a conversation or messaging only because maybe I like the way the person presents herself or only talking about fat lifestyle and no answer, only 2 words when it's good.
In a lot of profiles girls says that like talking and not receveing short and trite messages,that talk only with people that have pics,etc... but it seems that being polite doesn't work.
Maybe it's because when a girl post some pics, receive a lot of messages...on this amount there is always some wrong person that is so rude that the girl after some weeks go away from this world, could be a reason.
It's a general consideration

Maybe I must explain me better.
i'm not writing here for crying for not receveing messages. I write something when I find someone interesting for talking, and not only I'm polite, but also it's natural for me saying some more than 'hello'. That's sure.
But my consideration starts observing the quantity of people that come into FF, post some pics, stay some weeks and then disappear. Could be for many reasons, for personal reasons...but I think it depends also by the quality and the quantity of messages that 'she' can receives. An incentive to go away.
I'm not writing for helping any cause, but observing some usual situations

For every nice and sincere person on this site, there are about 10 trolls sending evil messages. With the message limit and inbox limit, And with the message limit and inbox size limit, communicating via the message system can be very ineffective.

the content of your message doesnt really matter that much
some girls just dont reply to any messages
I hardly ever do lol
and when I do its very randomly, like ill just reply to a bunch, whtether theyre interesting or not

I much prefer to go in chat and pm

I agree with your considerations, Uber

I make an effort to be the best I can be. Maybe just as a matter of self pride and respect. I'm polite and respectful to others, not just on here, but in public as well. And to be honest, Karma's not on my side most of the time. I get a lot of people throw it all back in my face when I go to help them out, even if its something small.
