The pattern typically goes where some men will write nastygrams to get a response - any response. A thorough bitching out is better than silence, for them; it's closure. This isn't necessarily true. If you're talking about initial contacts (the first time a person writes an email to another) nasty grams are relatively low. It does happen, but it's much more likely for a person to send something negative after they have been received some form of rejection. quote:
To the op: go offline. But if you really must contact women online, here's the best way I've found. Write a nice letter, but don't spend too much time on it. Expect to be ignored. The first part that I highlighted, I agree with wholeheartedly. Your chances of meeting someone are much better in the physical world. In addition, you get to completely avoid the whole climate that has been crated which many of these comments from women are based on. The second part that I highlighted I also agree with, but for various reasons. Not just the interactions between men and women here, but there are also other factors in play. A few of those include dead profiles, fake profiles, people who found what they are looking for without updating or removing the profiles, and the list goes on. quote:
Use form email. Go ahead. Just keep each email to a single person distinct from other emails you've sent them. You missed the mark here and it's bad advice. Form letters, if reported, will flag the sender for spam and result in losing the privilege of sending mail at all. Here's what the site says: Why am I temporarily blocked from sending messages by the spam filter? Our spam filter monitors the onsite messages you send to other users and will be activated if it determines that you're sending out a large number of generic messages. To prevent the filter from activating we recommend that you take the time to read the profiles of the other users on the site and send a personalized message to those that interest you. This is also a great way to get good responses back. quote:
The women on here will probably get all over my case for increasing the email from unwanted suitors, but hey, they are not working for your best interests. They're working for theirs, and that's fair; just keep it in perspective. I'm telling you what worked for me. I'm glad you point out that it is fair that we are doing what is in our own best interest. That's not something that everyone will do. So far, nobody has been able to give Me a worthwhile argument where My benefits increase if I change the way I handle unwanted email. The position of 'it's nice' or 'it will make the person who wrote feel better' just don't translate into positives for Me. I'm not going to get on your case for your opinion. I'm not thrilled that you would recommend hounding someone through email multiple times, but the block option is available if someone doesn't want to receive another email. As I've said many times, it's 100% effective in preventing being contacted again.
