They were trying to get to know you.

@MarkPaul nobody is empathetic towards me
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@IAmNothing Empathy starts at home, young lady. You show empathy and then empathy will come back to you. I don't think I appreciate your attitude right now.

I dont blame you for not responding but it does prove that women are just the same as men when it comes to selecting who we date.. ie: we want a goodlooking person and personality isnt first like many women use to claim

@IAmNothing Thanks for your honesty..🙂
IAmNothing · 31-35, F
@Tminus6453 As much as people want to say its false its true

@IAmNothing I don’t think that trait is gender specific, unless we are blind, we base a lot, positive or negative, on those first visual impressions.

I don't see what is wrong with having a preference with physical attraction. While the person as a whole is of course important, physical attraction also plays a role in a relationship. If it isn't there then it isn't there, and you shouldn't have to apologize for having a certain type.

Either way though you lose. If you don't respond you become the bad guy, if you tell him right off the bat that you don't find him attractive, you are also the bad guy. I think it is best to not hurt his feelings, and just ignore him. In his eyes you will just be a bitch, at least you aren't a mean bitch lol. There will be someone else out there who will find him attractive, just not you.

@Bubbles you're exactly right on this. It's him who has to deal, not turn it back on the woman. Red flag if they do.
I think if you are on a dating site, you are inviting messages from interested parties. If you get one from someone who doesn't interest you, it's only simple courtesy to respond with that information.

Otherwise it's like saying 'call me' and hanging up when they call.

Maybe just prepare a short polite thanks, but no thanks' response you can copy and paste.
@IAmNothing Don't dating sites have a block feature? If they don't, they should. I haven't been on one for a long time, although I did meet my late husband on one.

And why can't you tell them why? If they ask, I'd tell them. At least that way they'll get some concrete information to work with. 'Sorry, but you don't appeal to me looks-wise. Don't message me again, it's pointless.'

@Mamapolo2016 there are block features. Sorry but I think you're ugly would be rather mean compared to silence
@IAmNothing Well, honest doesn't have to mean cruel. I like outdoorsy types or intellectual looks or I spend a lot of time jogging or swimming and I would want to share that with my partner.

My late husband and I did not exchange photos for months because I didn't want someone who was ruled by surfaces. I'd already been married to a very handsome man.

If I wasn’t attracted I wouldn’t reply. There’s no point in giving them encouragement.
IAmNothing · 31-35, F
@SW-User it's more cruel if you respond
SW-User
@IAmNothing I completely agree.
That’s the thing about dating sites. How will you know if you don’t try.
IAmNothing · 31-35, F
@Spoiledbrat I'm not wasting time on someone I know I'll never be happy with.
How do you know you won’t be happy with them if you don’t talk with them. @IAmNothing
IAmNothing · 31-35, F
@Spoiledbrat gut feelings.

@cashless I'm allowed to have preferences. I'm allowed to not be attracted to someone.
Trevo · 26-30, M
I'd feel bad, but respond to people only to say you're not interested would be no better :/
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
@Trevo the problem with these dildos is once you respond they will never. stop. messaging. you. and make you feel even more guilty for not messaging them again
Trevo · 26-30, M
@wakanda4eva that's true tho.
abe182 · 51-55, M
He shouldn't have messaged you again. I have a strict one message policy.
NodandaWink · 51-55, M
If it's a dating site and I don't want to date the person I don't see a reason to interact with them.

@IAmNothing yet you never post a picture of yourself here.
IAmNothing · 31-35, F
@MarmeeMarch I dont have to.
@IAmNothing no you dont
Xuan12 · 36-40, M
Well, 90% of the female activity on dating sites appears to be done by robots or scammers trying to dupe men.

Among the women who appear to be genuine, I've all but stopped bothering to be honest. If they are too attractive, I write it off as hopeless. If I'm not attracted to them, it also wouldn't be fair to go into it. Then there are the many who simply don't share any interests or ideas at all, and I don't know how to approach someone when we missed each other on basically every beat. And then there are those who have almost no profile data, so that's a no go. Among those left who seem approachable to me, they never answer.

Yes it's ok to ignore someone if they can't take a hint after the first message. Rejection is difficult but one has got to suck it up and move on.

@Dinner Then you'd get harassed by the why why why messages.

I only ignore the ugly ones
@FlatEarthChocolateCookie well you dont know by a picture.
DDonde · 31-35, M
It's not really an issue I have on dating sites. 😞
MessieNessie · 36-40, F
I ignore them. Even the "attractive" ones that bother me I ghost them. That's probably why I'm still single, I'm a bitch.
IAmNothing · 31-35, F
@MessieNessie I'm a bitch too
Prisoner69 · 26-30, M
It's a dating site so obvious ignore .. unless I'm going to get an easy fuck
wakanda4eva · 26-30, F
when I hear that I literally want to fucking slap their stupid little self pity faces and be like yes, you did do something wrong, you fucking kept messaging me you piece of shit 😠 it's like fucking trying to use ur sense of morality to tug on ur strings to keep on having a useless boring conversation
