General

This topic is as old as men not getting responses from women when they try to talk to them, period.

I sometimes get messages from men on this and other sites. I used to try to answer them, but they got too pushy and too annoying. So, I stopped replying to men

They fall under two categories: 1)Men who want me to be into men. I don't care if anyone is gay, but I am not gay, and I don't want to have to try to defend myself for being straight, and being told I should change.

2)Men who want me to discuss my wife (a BBW but not into gaining and a very private person) or someone who wants me to send them picture of women who sent me pictures in private.

I wish I was able to up-vote such witty posts, though unfortunately I can't.

It pretty much comes down to this- no one is entitled to a response.

That's it! Instead of sending messages, interact with other uses in the chatroom or shoutbox. Its funny how you can start to receive messages and make friends on here when you interact with others.

If only the sentiment were "Oh woe is me, I'm not good enough." Sadly it comes over mostly as "I'm awesome, I'm not the flawed one here - those who don't reply are rude and ungrateful." At no point do the whiners wonder whether they're not good enough. There's very little self-reflection and quite a lot of blaming others.

Otherwise, agree entirely, TheBlackWizards

The OP merely stated "nothing more disheartening" then not getting a reply to a message. Ok, an exaggeration, there are many things a lot more disheartening, nevertheless it is a little disheartening. Nothing wrong in being big enough to admit it. I'm sure he will survive to message another day.

He then goes on to ask "Is it to much to ask for a simple no or not interested." Yes, it is.

From my past experiences in moderating the site, when a girl messaged a guy back saying 'thanks but no thanks', said guy would usually explode, demanding why, calling them all sorts of nasty names and worse!

The self entitled types that want supposedly want these sorts of replies usually never take it well when they do get them, so it's in everyone's best interests just to ignore messages!

I love that these threads still pop up! amuse me every time!
