Yep in fact yours truly argued this very point but i cannot find it so in summary. As you can see this is split right down the middle. You have the basically polite and courteous people on one side of the fence and assholes on the other. The courteous people will try to answer some one with something if its obvious that the writer is reasonably genuine, profiles have been read, not a form letter, not a 1 liner, etc etc etc. Of course there is a host of LEGITIMATE reasons NOT to respond to an email. These people have a very diffeent and often positive experience as compared to the other side of the fence with hey fuck you, "aint no law so i aint gotta do it" approach. i think the key is to understand the difference between who is a troll and who is not and of course when a thread like this pops up albeit 3 times a week, many will ASSUME that you are sending out 1 liners, or otherwise not following the requests of the profile rather than ASKING, or giving you the benefit of a doubt, that just maybe you really are sending legitimate responses to the people who are truly being unjustly discourteous to you, and they chose not to respond because of a host of reasons ranging from the color of your tie to the background setting of your pic, and believe it or not quite often NOT respond as a result of their own fault for NOT giving proper information in their profile in the first place. Welcome to the wonderful world of internet dating... Granted there are many more out here who deserve to be ignored in triplicate than are remotely genuine, i wont dispute that, but there are also many who do not deserve it and discourtesy is being dished out unjustly. BTW i send out tons of one liners, not as a pick up line or expecting a response back, but just remarking on something and i get responses back better then 50% i would guess,,, i applaud the courteous and those who make efforts to be!
