OK - Really now, what difference does it make? Some aspects of being alone, and of searching for one’s companion/lover/gf/bf/slave/Owner/Domina/Wife/husband/etc., are time consuming, frustrating, and otherwise onerous. Especially since trial and error and compatibility are factors. This thread sort of reminds me of the guy who upon arriving at the smorgasbord, with dozens and dozens of delicacy laid out before him, say's "What, no Gray Poupon?" and sulks away in disgust/defeat. Do what you do ... make yourself available if you like. On either side of the email coin. Or do not – whichever seems best. Trust - that what is supposed to happen most likely will. There is no “wrong” in such things. Each of these decisions made properly by the individual, play a small part in one’s arrival at one’s own destiny. And there will always be the one upset at the lack of a certain mustard, regardless of what else is offered or how it is displayed. Time wasting? Such is <so much of> life! So set those filters G/girl's. At the least, i shall have such an excellent opportunity to practice my writing skills - if i so choose. st50

Maybe, based on their own suggestions, there should be a whole category of whiny doms in the profiles. So us submissives don't have to waste our time dealing with them. Ooooh I like that. Then when we get a message from them there can be some kind of blinking symbol so we know... Whiny Dom Alert Whiny Dom Alert I mean come on doms...there is nothing more unappealing than a man who can't take it. So unmasculine. edited to ask...is unmasculine even a word?

Sometimes I wonder if the reason emails are tossed is because a great majority of our members do at least read the forums. 1) Get the email 2) Look up profile to determine if worth opening 3) Click on forum posts 4) Delete email Something to think about. Mod3

I'm sure some folks quite probably need to. Myself, I mention the forums in my journal in the hope that someone wanting to learn a bit more of who I am and what my opinion may be on a range of related subjects will have a start point and just maybe bring up questions of their own.[:)]

quote: LuckyAlbatross quote: ORIGINAL: GoddessDustyGold READ THE PROFILES! Now we have to deal with complaints that email filters should be made public. As already stated, I use these filters. I also check My bulk mailbox daily. I am not seeking a Dominant male. I am not seeking a femsub. I am not seeking boys from overseas. I state I do not chat. I state I do not do online. I state I do not do cam. I state what is reasonable, and with great detail in My profile when I am actively seeking. IT DOESN'T MATTER! I state I will not respond to one liners. I state I have an extreme distaste for fetish driven user names (i.e. licku4hrs, cbtslut, et al.) I state I seek TPE and even define it for the boy who might be reading. I state the boy must be relocatable. I state I seek a slave, and even share My definition of "slave". IT DOESN'T MATTER! Look at My age. I am done having children. Mine are all grown. What possible interest might I have in a 19 year old boy in India? Or a 22 year old boy in Iowa who is still a full time student? Most of the time they are just trying to wiggle their way into some cyber-domination when they are bored on a Friday night. I look at every profile unless the one liner is "u r hot" or "do u do cam? or "send more pics". I also state I do not send more pics. I can't tell you how many profiles only have one or two lines, or are completley blank. And very rarely a photo. Filters have a purpose. My time is just as valuable as their time. But this line takes the cake for Me: quote: ORIGINAL: Real0ne NO one responds to one liners so you are forced to write many sentences and that takes your time. Poor baby! I am sorry you feel forced to put any effort forth at all, dear. Thanks for the laugh.. To bad you like to knock people . As a dom I usuall, don't knock others or flame them. I use conctructive criticism and try to help them . I see you have very little understanding of what some of us are having difficulty in getting emails. Don't think your all God because your not . I posted for advice not to be ridiculed.

Advice: Don't complain about people not responding to your emails. Don't complain about how hard it is unless you're at a bar with your best bud and are at least half drunk. Do spellcheck, the better you read, the more attractive you are.

quote: ORIGINAL: TPEMASTER4YOU Forget about emails that never get read for a minute. Let's talk about emails sent that never get replied to. I do not send stupid email and only send email after browsing someone that might fit miy criteria or i may fit hers. I do not use filthy language and come on like some pushy jerk saying the dopest things like your dirt and the such. I usually send a short note that i'm interested in them ,a little about me and hope that thay relpy. Most do not. Maybe i'm missing the point,aren't most on here are looking for someone alot of us for ltr longterm?Why not reply if and see what heppened if it doent work out then just say no thanks it won't work out .No harm in that ,but to get no answer to me is kind of welll why post a profile and waste my time to email you. I think we have things in common ,maybe they don't think that but then email back and say no thanks . But that's me not everyone shares my point of view.

quote: ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross It's no one else's business what my mail settings are. If you can't deal with the reality of spending some extra time emailing and learning how to work the system to your advantage, maybe having a relationship isn't your biggest worry. It's not my job to make it easy for you. It's not your business to know what mail I like unless I choose to make it so. I agree. Privacy is privacy even if it does mean that it's a little more difficult to contact someone. I can understand the frustration for those who post a profile with the active expectation of meeting possible partners, and were it not for the bloody great duck pond between Aussie and the US, I'd be doing that for the same reason. However seeing that the odds of my finding a slave on CM is remote to say the least, I prefer my settings to remain private.. It doesn't stop some truely wonderfull people getting in contact with me as it is and some wonderfull friendships forming, albeit cyber ones for the moment.

[;)][:-] [:D] It just seems an assbackwards way of doing it to me which is why I didn't think of it being an issue. Far easier to my mind just to open the mail, see if it says anything interesting and if it doesn't then hit delete. If it does then check the profile. But then there is usualy two ways of doing anything, the easy way and the womans way! Ducks for cover.... fast[;)][:D]

ModeratorThree -> RE: Many Emails Never Get Read!!!! Here is why! (2/7/2006 4:56:15 PM)
Well you see, once the email is opened, there you (generic you) sit waiting for a reply. And many will send yet another email wanting to know why did you not reply. It is sometimes easier to go the long route and be finished. Personally if it were me and I had the luxury of blocking members, I would block before delete, this way I am sure it's over. HTH Mod3

RavenMuse -> RE: Many Emails Never Get Read!!!! Here is why! (2/7/2006 5:01:07 PM)
Note to self: Must remember they are often dealing with compleat morons! Its only in cases where they are not opened that I have wondered. Frankly if they have seen what I have to say and don't reply then it is pretty obvious that they ain't interested.

But then there is usualy two ways of doing anything, the easy way and the womans way! Ducks for cover.... fast[;)][:D] Did you duck low enough? LOL Actually, I have probably deleted less than 1/2 dozen emails (been here for 2 years, folks!) without reading them. And those are ones from members who have sent Me one liners, to which I have replied, no thanks, have then sent Me rude rejoinders to which I make no reply, and when the name shows up for the third time in My email box it is deleted without opening and then the user is blocked. I am pretty tolerant. But here is an example for you. I just opened a mail in my bulk folder. Yes, I opened mail in My bulk folder! I do it every single day. It is from a 21 year old (not a reasonable age Me, so he would be filtered). Now My profile does say "not seeking at this time". It also says I do not chat. I got one line. please Goddess may i email You? I answered: you already did. (see, I do have a sense of humor!) I just received another email from him: yes Maam may i serve You Please understand that we get this type of thing so much, after the 20th email we may begin to pound the desk in frustration. It may seem mean and unfeeling to you. But I have no interest in this boy who is only 21, not anywhere close, and can't even read a profile. In addition, he has nothing written in his profile. So I do ask that people not only read the profiles, but put something out there about yourself too! There's an awful lot of nothing out there. **Edited to add: Mod Trey is right. Sometimes I have not opened emails when I am short on time, because if I do and then I have to leave, with a plan to answer later, I have two or three more mails in My box by the time I get home asking Me why I haven't answered. It really is frustrating.

quote: ORIGINAL: RavenMuse But then there is usualy two ways of doing anything, the easy way and the womans way! I find this amusing as I have found the opposit to be true. It has become a private joke between myself and my male partners that I always seek to do things the most "efficiently" often meaning they are the ones puttering around adding useless steps. To me it is very sensible: You get an email from a random stranger. You read their posts (which for me takes maybe 4 minutes to skim their topics, posts and highlighted personality) and get a general idea of their character and perspective. Now I know whether I want to start something or not. Versus responding back to a random stranger with just their profile information. The more information a person has, the better decision they are likely to make. Maybe it's the fact that we're willing to actually put forth the energy to find good info rather than continue to make posts about how everyone should try and make it easier on us that makes us so "inefficient." But I'm ok with that.

LOL why thank you Seaturtle50, that was very nice of you. Though, as I am sure you have noticed...I have a short fuse for idiots.
