Okay, well, most of the posts at this post have devolved into a few common points:
- "We don't owe you a response."
- "When we do respond and politely decline, we receive an impolite reply."
- "We get too much attention to respond."
I think we've discussed each of these, already. The answer to all of them remains, pretty clearly, is "stop advertising for attention, if you don't want attention...but advertising for attention, then subsequently ignoring that attention, is rude."
You put up the profile. You can hide it, if the attention is too burdensome. If you don't, you're advertising, and rejecting customers without stated reason. That's rude. My opinion. And I'll bet if I put out an ad for "free manicure," and gave the address of my salon, and you showed up, and my stylists ignored you (I mean-- they didn't tell you, "That deal is expired," or "the coupon has been rescinded," but just pretended you weren't even in the shop), you would get pissed. And if my excuses included "my previous customers were all assholes," or "too many people responded to that ad," or "when we told the other ladies that the offer expired, they crapped on our floor," you'd find that pretty sparse reasoning.
An odd aside:
- People here seem to get very angry when a dissenting idea is offered. Like, to the point of cursing and ad hominem attacks. This is particularly interesting among a population that is complaining about all the rude communication they receive. On top of that, hearing only one view, repeatedly, leads to a giant echo chamber (seemingly shaped like a uterus, evidently). A monolithic hivemind is nothing to be proud of.
- Several posters have mentioned that they don't care about my opinion. More than once. Think about that for a second. If you don't get it, read it again.
This, in particular, is extremely distasteful:

Im NOT looking - Its just fun to see what guys out there are thinking that are looking for something - and their approach on how they think theyre going to accomplish that.
We used to call that "being a tease," and it was frowned upon. If you don't understand why, go examine the notion of "bumfights," where destitute people are encouraged to brawl, on film, for food, or watch churlish Western expats throwing coins in the streets of third-world shitholes, so they can laugh at the urchins scrambling for it, or briefly observe cruel children taunting a tethered, hungry animal.
If you still don't understand why that's unseemly, you and I don't share the same species. If none of you can fathom why that's dehumanizing, you no longer have my scorn: you have my pity.
Honestly, it is you who seems to be asking for attention. Your analogy of retail establishments with being on a dating site (where again, not everyone is looking, but they just like the message boards, etc.) is just too ridiculous. I like attention but only from men I would be interested in. But I assume that is too hard for you to understand. Liking attention does not mean you need to indulge idiots.
I think you know you are wrong but are simply trying to rile people up.
I am not riled, but think you are amusing in your statements.
