Advice Line Question Post Your Comment

Have we lost any sense of common courtesy?

3/3/2020

Can you help me understand why people on AdultFriendFinder cannot provide
the basic courtesy of replying, even to say 'not interested'.
I don't understand why some start a conversation and
then bail out. I'm not talking about someone who is
rude, that doesn't warrant a response, but some conversations
just seem to end abruptly. <br><br>
And if given a 'not interested' response, why
can't it just be accepted without being asked to explain
or getting a rude response, because that's not what
they wanted to hear? <br><br>
Isn't it a given that not all conversations are going
to be a good fit, shouldn't we just accept that but express
it with courtesy? <br><br>
Maybe it's just a reflection of the world in which we
live? <br><br>
For those of you who need to leave a smart ass answer and tell
me I've posted in the wrong place, I'm happy to
post this to provide a means for you to do your thing!

Courtesy is a two way street. And very little is common today.

There are as many reasons not to answer as there are people who don't answer. Each reason is the opinion of the person who doesn't answer. Hell like people have stated the IM sucks.

We very rarely respond to single men when on IM. Why are we not being discourteous? We specify she doesn't want single males. So should we ignore the disrespect to her desires? She gets tired of hearing "you know you want me" or "are you afraid I'll be better than your man?". My favorite was "is your husband afraid another man will please you better?". Aren't there other men in couples? duhhh

If my phone rings and it says "possible scam" am I rude not to answer? If I do answer and they start a "sales pitch" should I listen or click end call?

No one OWES you anything. Including a response to a cold contact IM message [or email]

I often get no replies to friendly IM chats - even after being flirted. Not sure if it due to technical issues. For incoming chats sometimes I can't reply since I have no points left or won't "waste" them on someone I am not interested in to just say "not interested"

I do not like to talk on IM for one and if I do I don t talk on it very long. I get cock picture and I am tired of seeing it so I will not respond.

If someone has totally ignored my preferences and my requests in my profile then I see no reason to answer. So say for example a dick pic messaged me I will just delete.

There isn't anyone getting 100 messages a day as free blogs can't even get 50 hits a day. Blogs and everything is way down since the changes maybe they are saving $$ on bandwidth and they will fix things. Nah I see they added more advertisement places though for their live cams.

Not going to use points to respond unless it is someone I think I want to have interactions with.

We've often lost live contact when using IM and we've always assumed that it's a site-based issue. We also feel bad for folks who send mail to us, assuming that we can see their messages. However, as free members we can't access these notes so it's highly possible that members think we're snubbing them! It would be nice if the site could bounce back a note to senders saying, "recipient cannot review your mail etc"

AMAZING.. JUST AMAZING... men that don't get hardly any emails will dispute how many emails women get. LOL I URGE anyone to make a profile as a woman and put a hot photo on it and see how many messages you get!!! SERIOUSLY even with my profile stating NO LET"S CHAT.. NO LET'S MEET.. NO LET'S BE FRIENDS I AM HERE TO CAM ONLY I still am getting some 25 or more messages A DAY. A blog isn't the same as a profile with a hot woman on it that is looking. Blogs are blogs and a profile is what men are looking at not the blog when hunting for a woman for sex.

As my profile states in the status line not just the profile itself, as well as I have it written on the photo that I am not available I still am getting at least 25-30 messages a day. This screen capture is of how many people have viewed me in the last 30 days. Now imagine what that number would be if I was available.. then do the math. YES women can and do get in excess of 100 messages a day, maybe not every day, but I know I was getting that many and more EVERY day when my profile was active.

Here is how many people have viewed me in the last 90 days...note that is +7K meaning over 7000. Again, if I was available how many of them would be messaging me. I know how many are messaging me as it is. I would get 100 messages a day and I am sure as I am busy on here and use many things including groups and such that makes me far more high profile seen than others that don't join groups and things. That adds to it.

I am going to answer this one with a question. WHY do men, ignore, or flat out not read, a ladies profile??? When a woman, or a man for that matter says "I DO NOT WANT THIS" and lay it out clearly, do they STILL get the exactly what they have listed as they DO NOT WANT.

Example, I am a Senior, oh yeah, I am 80 years old. I did not lie about my age. Yet, I get EVERY DAY, men or I should say BOYS like the one today 23 years old. What did he email me. " I am looking for stress free sex". " I want to make you feel good". UM Hello READ MY PROFILE, it clearly says NO ONE LESS THAN 65. Did I stutter???? My auto reply also states the SAME THING. This idiot sent me 3 messages, each one with the auto reply. Now my question is WHY should I even waste a second on answering that email??? Did he respect MY profile? NO. Was he polite? NO. Oh yeah his profile in his intro is really L O N G. Here is what it says, " ASK". ONE WORD. And you think he is due a proper polite reply????

OH YES MANY women get 100 or MORE a day. out of those maybe 1 out of that number will come even close to her profile requirements.

As for the conversations ending, trust me, it is not just males that happens to, I lost count a long time ago of men who contacted me, shared well maybe 3 emails and then poof, gone. I certainly could have cared less if they gave me a fond fare thee well. I didn't KNOW them, and they did not KNOW me, and obviously, they chose not to know any more.

NO ONE on this site or any other site is OWED anything. You join, throw your hat in the ring, and take your chances. However, if you READ and RESPECT the profile requirements, your chances of a reply increases.

I for one have been approached with somewhere in the area of 10 men so far that thought I was so dumb, that they chatted, were oh so sweet, then came up with the most idiotic stories to get MONEY, from me. I may be old, but I am not so old, I cannot spot the liars, and fakes a mile away. So, nope not a one got a penny. All they got was a score or some of the ridiculous ideas they came up with and were expected to be believed.

Just sayin.

It says site ambassador and obviously you are messaging lots of people daily even if it is a canned auto-message. People tend to click hey who sent me this mail. Even super hot 19 year olds like cupcake get very few photo/video comments daily maybe 2 dozen on a good day certainly not even 100. I would estimate paid gold membership at less than 5K worldwide I doubt a sizable number of them are going to hit the same woman with messages given they might not even be in their area.

Views isn't proof of messages per day. You make those claims the assumption is you must get that much. Maybe at one time you did but this site is a pale shade of what it once was apparently. It has only been sparsely populated since I have been a member with a notable decline recently.

Since there seem to be more gay men looking for men than single women looking for men, why the doubt a man could have 100 messages a day if a woman could.

I AM NOT A SITE AMBASSADOR!!! THAT IS ON MANY PROFILES AND IS AN OPTION TO USE, BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING "i" PERSONALLY USE!!! I DO NOT EMAIL ANYONE!! I have NEVER used it, but it is there on my page. Before you make an accusation you better find out what is what.

I also DID NOT SAY that views equated to messages. There is something majorly wrong with you that you read into and add into things that are not there to make yourself look right. Because YOU don't get those emails, and you are a MAN not a woman, doesn't mean WOMEN don't get them. Women have always been bombarded here on this site by the men because the odds are some 500 men to 1 woman contrary to what many believe. You are also a standard member!!! Women don't go looking for men when we have an inbox full of messages daily.

Even gay men, there is not as many gay men on here looking for gay men as there are straight men looking for women. So no, I would doubt highly a man would get 100 messages a day.

I find it also vastly interesting that others have said the same thing yet you go after only me or only women to dispute things. Here is Koffla saying the same thing...."If a woman receives hundreds of emails a day, do you think she has time to reply to everyone?"

Again and I can't stress this enough I HAVE NEVER USED THE AMBASSADOR OPTION EVEN THOUGH IT IS THERE. I DARE ONE PERSON TO POST I HAVE WRITTEN TO THEM ASKING FOR ANYTHING!!

Site ambassador - I just looked and I have that button as well. I didn't even know it was there. I am a standard member and I can't email people so don't think that having the button means something. I never even knew it was there. I can at least say thank you for pointing out something else on this site I would never use!!

When told about this thread we looked. Screen capture is attached. Trust me, 100 messages in a day is very able to happen. Also, I do not have an ambassador button on this profile.

It's not you and it's not just the people on this site, it's people in general. Sure there are many men and women that are still courteous, have manners and morals, but that population is shrinking in percentage to the whole. I contacted a member a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised that she responded with her face photo and her first name, a rarity.
You are correct, basic consideration has seemed to go the way of proper english!

That could be 10 years of messages just never deleted. To be proof of 100 messages in a day there needs to be a 100 by the active. It also can mean that person sent out a lot of messages. That shows no proof of 100 messages incoming in a day.

Better proof would be the incoming message icon on the tool bar having over 100 on it. Can easily be photo shopped though.

We heard about you. No one ever tells the truth or knows anything but you. roflmao Everyone is lying in your book, everyone but you. There is one think that can't be faked or photo shopped..... your shitty attitude!!! You attack anyone that doesn't agree with you or see things the way you see them. That male nurse that put your balls through the ringer was the best. You didn't fight with him because he was a man. Well guess what, this is the man here speaking!! There was no faking or photo shopping. Because you can't get that kind of response from people on here doesn't mean others can't. It is your attitude and approach that turns people off and I am sure you get 100 ignores a day rather than 100 messages a day. I for sure am not going to take a screen capture of my inbox and give up the privacy of others that contacted us to prove fucking Jack shit to you. You are a sad person and I know why you are lonely. I am sure you will not profess to have tons of pussy and are not lonely and my response would be then why the fuck are you here?? You are so damned awesome you don't need this place or anywhere else. I suggest you go to your own wonderful world where no one does anything but what you say and only agrees with you because that sure as hell isn't here or in the real world. Good riddance from us. We have no reason to lie or fake anything, but obviously you have problems and need to constantly tell people how great and smart you are when in fact you are not. Go ahead, now proceed to bash us and make us laugh. How pathetic.

I would like to point out to everyone that once you OPEN a message the number next to 'active' goes down!! So yes, we actually DID open all the messages, we just didn't answer all of them nor will we even attempt to. We did read them all though. Onlyt a freaking douche bag to think the number stays even after you open it.

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!!!! Everyone knows nothing compared to HIM!! He reminds me of that biblical story of Doubting Thomas. When Jesus came back from the dead and stood before the apostles Thomas didn't believe it was him so Jesus told him to come forward and Thomas put his finger into the hole made by a Roman Soldier's spear while on the cross. I may not have that story exact, but you get the picture. This is this guy. He doubts anyone and everyone and only HE knows the truth and unless he can stick his finger in the dead guys wounds he won't believe he was even wounded probably. ROFLMAO I am not sure just who died and left HIM in charge that HE thinks everyone owes HIM explanations and proof, but it sure is hilarious. I would bet he would think the wound was just special effects from a movie studio on top of it all anyway.

A better question would be: why your messages aren't standing out from the scads of form messages women get?

The first line or two has to contain something which proves you read their profile. Otherwise, you're just another guy sending out dozens of messages each day trying to make this a numbers game.
