ORIGINAL: Alpha4U007 But I do have a question for the women who don't read any of their emails (deleted unread) because she believes ALL MEN who write emails are all creeps and pervs. She claims she is able to read the first two lines without opening the email. Honestly, I don't believe women seeking a suitable match on this or other sites, including vanilla dating sites, are automatically deleting messages en masse unless they are going into their Bulk mail folders. Even then, I scan over messages which have been filtered (age, location, blank profile; some filter out gender, orientation, no profile pic), in the off-chance they are just marginally undesirable. This site doesn't do this, but there are sites where once you respond to a pre-filtered message, that user now has access to your Inbox and can bypass the filtered mail. One one site in particular (on one of those very rare occasions where I send site suggestions to technical support to fix what I consider to be a glitch), responding to a message will permanently place this user on your undeletable Contacts list so you have to see every single time this user is on line the same time you are. It effectively discourages not-interested message responses. (That site also doesn't allow you to hide their thumbnails and profiles from appearing either.) quote:
But for those women who are hoping to meet someone and accepting emails..... Why, if you believe all men are creeps and pervs and delete everything you read? OP hasn't clarified his initial assertions, and it's possible that his female friends aren't telling him the whole story. They may not want to say that they're not interested in short guys, or men much older than they are, or not their preferred ethnicity, or a wannabe biker with Harley in his user name, or have to justify to OP why a man appears way too goofy-looking to consider. I'll raise another point which is germane on just about any site. Men don't realize (or women, but that's beyond the scope of your question) how choosing an off-putting user name can count against them. This can range from complete turn-off, objectionable, to striking someone as cheesy, to ambivalence, to invoking no response, to an initially pleasant impression. I had somebody recently claim that his screen name meant nothing. He had numbers attached to it which gave the impression they were his age and/or birth year. Then he admitted what those numbers meant to him, wherein he contradicted himself, because there was symbolic meaning to the screen name he had chosen. [8|] Alpha, in your case as a Dominant, I can overlook your inclusion of a term which ordinarily does not appeal to me, and not count that as a minus. But then I see your age is far below my age range, and that your location is a big minus. At this point, I would see no reason to view your profile or to engage with you. If your message appeared to have had some thoughtful effort put into it, instead of just the substandard "Hi", "How are you?", "Hi, beautiful" (because this tells me you're just cruising photos), or "Can we chat?", then I personally would reply and wish you luck in your search for an age-appropriate match nearby. But not if I were on a site which would automatically unfilter you from Bulk. To whoever might have the answer to this - not on CS, but elsewhere - what is it with these guys adding "InaBox", "-asaurus", "taco", and "O-matic" to their screen names? What's with that? This isn't an automatic turn-off, but along with an immaturish/substandard quality contact message, these guys don't stand a chance. DreamLady
