Do you find it rude?

[SensualGent69]

When you send someone a private message and they ignore you?

OR

Is that the accepted practice of responding to someone that you aren't interested in on the net?

i don't get any private messages, not many anyways.
i wouldn't ignore someone at all, even if not interested.
that's kind of shitty and childish.

 

[Lady_Sam]

I don't get many pm's but the only ones that I would ignore are the ones that I tend to, the overly nasty crude ones...especially if tis a first pm

To clarify: I'm not referring to an overly nasty crude one. That I would understand not receiving a reply or acknowledgement to!

I don't ignore PM's, even the nasty crude ones. Those I send a reply that I'm hoping might make them think twice before then send another of that manner.

And to answer your intial question SensualGent, I think it's very rude to ignore PM's. If you don't want to talk with someone, at least have the courtesy of telling them so.

I think it's rude to not answer.
If you're not intrested then the person should be adult enough to say "hey, i'm not intrested".
Regardless if it's a polite email or one of those "asl, wanna cyber ones". I don't find anything wrong with telling someone i'm not intrested.

No, I don't think it's rude. Depends on the nature of the PM. If some one has a question for me or something along those lines, then yes, I'll respond to them. If it's some one who has a post count of "1" and goes something along the lines of: "SWM, 26, Iowa, wants to get to know you better," then nope, no response. Why should I? He obviously hasn't taken the time to even look at my profile. Also, people who send a PM who act as though we are the best of friends and I've don't know who they even are.

This is cyberspace, for heaven's sake. Who's going to take this all that seriously?

And, just for the record, I don't consider it rude if some one doesn't respond to me. I figure they either got busy, had other things to do, or didn't want to be bothered. No biggie and certainly nothing to get upset over.

 

[emptyness]

do you really get the personal-ads kinda pm's? that is great, i should start sending those out, just randomly, to whoever.
and is that the kind you sent along, gent? that may be the answer right there. or maybe they were busy (some of these friggers think there's life away from their computers!)

yeh, sexy, this is all taken too seriously sometimes. but i couldn't just ignore someone, even if i just sent along a message telling them i was ignoring them. luckily i don't have to worry about that tho

 

[Eatm69]

I'll usually acknowledge a PM, unless they become bothersome. Or want more than I care to give.

Obviously not knowing what you sent is one problem. Presuming that it was a nice message, then we have to check other things.

Has the person received it yet? Did you ask for a read receipt? Not everyone knows how to do PMs.

Is it possible that the person wanted to respond when they had more time to think, but forgot about it do to crisis in life?

Why not try one more nice PM, and indicate that you will not PM them anymore if they don't want you to, but you would appreciate a response indicating that. (Ask for a read receipt of Lit) If they read the message and don't respond, then it is definately rude.

Hope this helps.

If it is a rude pm, then they get a rude pm in reply. If it is a nice pm, ( by this, I mean not acting as if we are best friends) then it gets a nice reply. But either way, I do answer all pms.

 

[1sexylady]

I try to answer all the pm's I get. You have to remember some people don't come on here everyday or they might be on vacation etc.

If I see someone who has not filled out their profile then I say **Hey fill it out because people look at that.** I do........

If I am not interested in being friends then I answer but let them know it too...

I know I send out way more PMs than I get back, and I dont' send out crude ones, any lady here who knows me would know that. I usually introduce myself, including telling them my first name, tell a bit more about me than what I want to be public in a profile and that I'd like to get to know them better.

I dont' browse profiles to see who to PM, but if I see a girl posting and think she sounds fun or interesting, I'll pm her. About 3 out of 10 times they'll answer back. I've made some great friends that way. A few were kind enough to say they're either not on very much, or just not interested than more than posting on the boards.

So, I do find it rude when someone just fails to respond. When I see people mention crude and nasty PMs, to me it would make more sense to respond to the kind, friendly ones than take the time to send a rude response back to a nasty PMer. I hope that made sense lol

It seems to me that honesty is the best policy.

But.........what do I know! "Most" people on the net aren't really honest............are they?

But, then again, that might be another topic for conversation.....

 

[Native Alien]

No, Sensual, it fits in here because of the pm and the profile. I think that most people are honest, just maybe not about all things. I also know that you get those that lie just to be telling a lie.

So the important facts to tell someone are the ones that can be vertified. Especially on a profile. I look at those too, a lot and they do tell a lot about a person.

Indeed it is the best policy. I've met alot of people on the net that aren't. But i've also met a good few that are.

I agree with Native Alien in what was said about profiles. You can get a general sense on what the person is like by reading them.
