When I first signed up for this site, I attempted to be very diligent and answer every e-mail with a personalized response. I stopped when I realized that men just used whatever polite excuse I gave them as a in, either to try and convince me they were worthwhile, or to convince me I sucked because I didn't want them. For example, my age range when looking for a partner was extremely limited. I wanted a relationship, not someone to play with, and I can't see myself starting a relationship with someone more than a few years older than me. After politely explaining this to the myriads of older men who apparantly couldn't read my profile, I would get e-mails back that age brings wisdom, experience, etc. They assured me I could only be happy with an older man and was stupid to be looking for a younger one. They assured me that although they were 50, they behaved like 20-year-olds (is that supposed to be a turn-on?). They'd call me stupid, a faker, and not a submissive. These sort of responses seemed to come back with about 80% of the polite rejections I'd send out. That's why I stopped responding to e-mails from people I wasn't interested in.
