Mellow, listen to what these women are telling you. Most do not respond if they are not interested. They have been forced to do this because: a. If they respond that they are not interested, too many men take that as an invitation to continue trying. Why aren't they interested? Why not just meet to see if we might be good for each other? etc., etc., etc. Nobody likes to be hounded. b. Too many times, when a woman responds politely they are not interested, they get a nasty reply back. Either it's the "you are not really a submissive" thang, or downright hostility and cruelty. Nobody likes to be abused. c. Most women get a lot of emails per day, some get an enormous amount of emails per day. They don't have the time to politely answer each one, even if they wanted to. Nobody should be expected to spend their entire life on this site turning guys down. All that being said, I DO understand your frustration. There was a thread a few months ago where someone made a good case that women get so many emails that they end up getting jaded. They subconsciously end up looking at each person thinking what is wrong with this one, rather than what is right. This one is okay, that one seems good, but tomorrow maybe someone even better will come along. Honestly I am always amused at the men who complain about being rejected out of hand AS WELL AS all the women who tell men to suck it up and get over it. Most men don't have a clue what it is like to be a woman on this site, and most women don't have a clue what a guy goes through either. Each side seems to see the issue only from thier own perspective. Here is an idea that would be very illuminating to everyone. Women, make up a fake profile as a guy and try to get a response. Keep contacting day after day, month after month, never getting an answer. See how long it takes you to get to the level of frustration a lot of guys on this site feel. Men, make up a fake female profile, and watch the inbox become inundated with replies. See if you can really take the time to answer them all with a polite "no thanks", and what kind of responses you get back. As well as the sheer volume of time you waste in your day. Really, if men and women walked in each other's shoes for a month, there would be a lot more understanding of what the other side is having to deal with. Namaste, Sir Dominic
