I have a profile on the other side but it's not to talk to total strangers or hook up or anything else. I'm owned so I'm not seeking anything at all. I keep it up to have conversations with those I do know or those who are seeking information on Baltimore. I seem to get a lot of emails from people who are in the area on business or vacation and want to know what to do in Bmore, where to eat, best places for shopping, best hotels, etc....and I like to be of help like that. I like helping people who want to visit with us so they can see what our city has to offer.
That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. This is a kink site. If you want to offer travel advice, I'm sure those sites exist, too.

I like to talk to people, and I have several semi-regular 'pen pals' with whom I chat. I make it clear in my profile that I'm here for general chit chat, not to provide wank fodder to strangers. Those people I chat with will talk about the many, many interesting things that are going on in their world, my world and our world, but they have class enough to avoid chat of a sexual nature.
And if we were on a website dedicated to model trains, would you expect someone to hold discussions with you about all topics other than model trains?
The dissonance here is staggering.

Do you reply to the junk mail you get at home?
You know, the pizza places, the insurance companies, etc etc?
You see no difference between mail automatically generated and that sent by a person? If you receive a handwritten note from someone, you read it and don't respond?
When I was in the military, and stationed overseas, schoolchildren would write to us often. The letters would be addressed "any soldier." The penmanship was terrible. The grammar atrocious. We never asked for that sort of attention. I hate kids.
Every single one of those letters was treasured. Everyone in the unit read each one...and while usually only one reply was sent to each, almost everyone signed each one, too.

If men have a problem with women that won't answer emails because of how your fellow males have behaved....I suggest you take it up with them rather than blaming us for not wanting the abuse that comes with telling someone "No, thank you".
Oh. My neigbor thinks all Mexicans are lazy and shiftless, because he once knew this Mexican one time who fit the bill.
Do you see how both you and my neighbor fail to use reasoning?
quote:
Does every woman at the night club that you ask to dance with you say "yes"? Does every woman that you offer to buy a drink accept your offer? Does every woman that you ask for her phone number give it to you?
Not. At. All. But a woman who politely declines, even just smiles and shakes her head, is a far, far superior person than a woman who looks past you, or turns away without even acknowledging the question was asked.
When a filthy bum on a street corner asks you for a handout, do you blindly stare straight ahead and ignore his existence, or do you say, "No, thank" or even look and shake your head?
Clicking a button is the 'net equivalenet of acknowledging receipt of the message and thereby the sender's existence. It's simply polite.
