NuevaVida -> RE: Why do people ignore mails (10/11/2012 7:53:08 PM)

~ Fast Reply ~
I'm late to the party here but I don't reply to emails that simply say "Hi there" or, "How are you tonight?" Since I'm in a relationship and my profile says so (and says with whom) right across the top, I have no need to engage in any sort of meaningless dialogue with men who are simply just poking at profiles to see who responds.
Then of course there are the emails that talk about doing specific sexual acts with me. Um, no thanks. No need to reply to those, either. Not now, not when I was single.
I also don't see some of the mail that comes in. The Mister might read it before I do, and often just deletes them if he thinks they're not worth anyone's time.
Some emails are from people just leaving a compliment, or someone asking a question, or someone commenting on something I wrote here. I answer those.
I didn't read all the posts here but I did see comments about ignoring homeless people. I live in a pretty metropolitan area but in the areas where I work and live, there aren't a lot of homeless folks around. There's one old man at the light of the freeway offramp that I see every day, and if the light is red I say hello and hand him a dollar. If I'm downtown, it depends on how I'm approached. Sometimes I say, "Sorry, not today" sometimes I give a hand out and sometimes I say nothing and keep walking (if they're really aggressive about it, for example). Once I was in Oakland and a dude outside a Subway asked for money. I said no but if he wanted to come in and order a sandwich, I'd pay for it, which he did, with profuse thanks. When I visited Seattle I felt like I was accosted on every corner, so I had to just keep walking and ignore. For me it's circumstantial.
Seems I wrote more about homeless than Cmails though lol.
