Unless the message is ridiculous or mean, distasteful, or some other way unreadable, i try to at least send a "sorry, i am not looking for X-type of relationship." or i mention that i want a long-term relationship and i'd like to have kids, which seems impossible/unreasonable with men of a certain age. there's a difference between respect and common courtesy; everyone deserves courtesy until they show otherwise, and i feel that a simple "we probably aren't compatible, but good luck elsewhere" message is about courtesy. that said, wanting to have courtesy in return does not automatically make you a "fake" sub/slave. it's that "omgz ur sew fake cuz u wont do whut i want an we don't know eachotherz" shit that pisses so many people off. =p usually when disgruntled Ds start topics like this, they aren't talking about courtesy, they're talking about some unrealistic expectation they're placing on the women they write to, and that expectation is being denied. you have no right to expectations with someone you don't know. A LOT of people of any orientation don't write back to you; that's just how the online world is. getting butthurt and whining about it isn't very attractive. if you're feeling rejection, or wondering why in a constructive manner -- that's different. most people feel a little twinge when rejected, and wanting to fix up your profile or get some insight is a way to grow. but griping about how CM is filled with fakes, or how ever sub/slave who doesn't respond to fit your expectations is a fake... well that's really annoying, and we get threads like that at least once a week. it's possible that a person just doesn't see your messages; a lot of women have inboxes that flood and they can't keep up sometimes. or they are used to internet protocol and see a lower-cased name, have a knee-jerk reaction, and think "sub male, why is he writing me?" (note: i'm a sub with a capitalized name -though i lower-case it in chat b/c i get too many PMs from sub males- so internet protocol doesn't mean much to everyone, but that is a possibility.) and then if you write a message that pertains to NOTHING in the profile -- you didn't care enough to read a profile and see if someone was a good match to you before you wrote it, so why should they take the time to care enough and respond to someone who didnt do the same? some people just dont feel the need to send a message back; that's their business and whining about it doesn't change it. there are any number of reasons; being "fake" isn't one of them.
