Has anyone else had 90% of the greetings they've sent through PM ignored?

Are people obliged to talk to everyone that PM them?
@pianoplayingsteve: Okay, but some people are pushy and act like it is an obligation.

@Gingerwithasoul: There are, but literally all I say is "hey, how are you? What brings you to similar worlds?" 9 times out 10 no response, and on their profile they'd have experiences about just wanting someone friendly to talk to, and philosophies on how nice they are. I don't want anyone to feel obliged, I just felt perhaps a few more people would want to chat :)
@pianoplayingsteve: They still may be nice but not a chatty type person or may not be here to make friends, necessarily. I mostly vent. I don't pretend to want anything from anyone accept common courtesy. I guess my point is, and it is not aimed at you personally, is that no one is obligated to answer if they do not wish to, that is their right as a user of this site.
I use to be more social on EP, but got sick of the head game players and I have plenty of people in my real life I can talk to and be friends with.
I mostly let off steam here or answer questions.

If someone messages me out of the blue, and I can't relate to his posts, then I will most probably ignore. If you don't want to be ignored try commenting on their posts etc. If you think there is a vibe, then PM. Then, chances are that they will respond

But you see, they haven't seen anything in common with you. Maybe you could tell them about some particular post of theirs and say what you thought about it or share a similar experience or something. That will interest them and make your message stand out from the many similar messages they receive often

@dreamerfrombirth: Well, there are a lot of "musicians" and science fans on here, yet when I point out I have the second highest piano qualification in Europe, and that I work with an ambulance service, 9/10 they don't care or respond, and instead post about their favourite type of jam and how they wish they could have a conversation with someone with similar interests.

@pianoplayingsteve: hmmmm... that's why it's better to build a rapport in the comments section. Why don't you reply to those posts before PMing?

I have to admit I try to respond but after the initial hello, a lot move swiftly to sex. I added a comment on my profile about not here for sex chat and I haven't had ANY since. Was constant before that.
So yeah, im suspicious if someone sends me a message.

I never PM strangers, so that hasn't happened to me.
pianoplayingsteve · 31-35, M
With respect, isn't every person in your life a stranger until you talk to them?:)

Answering questions on this forum is a good way to get to know someone before PMing.

Ignored doesn't necessarily mean not replied to:)
