Do you ignore or answer your private messages?

Ignore most of them, delete them.

Some have long conversations with themselves 🤣🤣🤣

I usually reply to everyone, once I see their intentions or they can’t keep a conversation going then I stop responding 😅

Depends on the message and the one sending it. I do the same thing for text messages and FB😒

If they are from a complete stranger (someone who I have never seen posting or responding in public) I usually ignore them.

If they are from people I consider friends, of course I answer them.

If they are from people I have seen here but have not PMed in the past, it would depend on what they have to say.

I'll say this. If there is a dick, my response is faster

I'm happy to chat with most people.
There are always the exception.
For example the seemingly endless 'women' who want you on another website so they can try and scam you for money.
Or the real 'oddity' wanting to draw you into their (hopefully) fantasy world of depravity.

I reply to friends and to well written notes from newbies. Not to “hey” or “wanna see my wife naked” or that kind of thing.

I ignore the "hi, how are u" and dick-pic pms.

i amswer every message i receive

I`ll answer any that I get.

Have always answered everyone other than if they were rude or condescending, or asking of fetishes I'm not curious, if they took time to write me, I answer, but I do assume some conversations may be short.

I generally reply, don't get too many of them.

I try to reply to all my messages, but people that send me a one word message like Hi or ask for nude photo's after 2 - 3 messages goes to my trash box.

I answer all, but I dont get many to be honest.

Answer unless the message is really stupid

99% answer. What about you?

I ignore 90% of them

I always answer messages from friends :)

With others, it depends on the content of the messages ... if they are politely worded and arouse my interest, I reply and wait to see what happens... and I ignore the few messages that cross my personal boundaries.

Depends what it says.

Answer them

Answer them

I am very selective in my inbox 😊

I have some friends I will message with, but generally, I prefer to keep my comments and interactions out in the open

yes

On my phone all unlisted number calls get ignored unless I know I'm expecting a government department call. Then I look at the number id - if it's from out of Australia instantly blocked unless I know I'm expecting a call from a particular country. Then if the number matches one already in my phone contact list. Then which part of Australia is the call coming from if not, If the number isn't known, and it's from interstate it's 99.9 percent a spam call and I block the number.

On here, I might get 2 or 3 pm's a year.

Email's are like phone calls - if there's even the slightest suspicion, suspect it to be a scam.

I answer the ones I know most quickly, but as long as they arent rude or talking sexually upfront I reply eventually. I get a lot of messages so I cannot resoond fast to everyone.

Answer, most are looking for details of my fights/ wrestling matches.

I reply to most. But if we haven't had previous conversation, I look over the profile and then decide. The decision is mostly based on how I feel at that moment

I only reply to those I’ve interacted with on public posts.

If it’s some random stranger, I usually leave it unread.

I ignore them if we aren't already friends out here first.

I answered my first one and it started good. But then she got into some weird stuff and left her on read lol

On here I answer most of them. On Facebook I ignore them.

I almost always reply, even if it is to tell them not to contact me again.

It depends if it’s someone I actually feel like talking to.

Ignore most the obvious catfish. Troll a couple. Talk with the people I believe to be real.

It depends on the content. "Wassssup" or "hey there" will get ignored every time.

Depends on who it is from
If I don't know them I ignore it

Ignore/block/delete usually as I get maybe 3 a year and they're always scam/spam.

I don't receive messages, so I don't know.

Depends on who the user is and how they approach me

Ignore almost all of them.

All depends what it is, like if someone I've never seen before randomly sends me a ''hi'' message then I'm really not gonna waste my time replying but if a friend sends me a message asking me how I've been keeping once a blue moon well I'm not gonna be ignorant and ignore them but yeah I'd a say it's a 50/50.

Ignore most or leave on unread

Ignore mostly
