Manners and the Internet (No replies and vaginas with egos)
Maybe it is because I was raised by my grandparents. Maybe
it's because I live in the south, where people are generally
more friendly than anywhere else in the country.
Whatever the reaon, I know that I am in a quandry as to why
so many people on Adult FriendFinder have the manners of a gawker at a train
wreck or a golf snob on a Sunday outing at public course (unless
of course you are a bi-fem).
Situation 1 - no replies
I get my cupid email. I See a few women I would be interested
in meeting and send them an email. If they are standard members
I attach photos and a profile. I am doing what was requested
of me by these women
I am more into quality and quantity, so (in the beginning)
I didn't send out more than 3 emails. A few hours passed
and I noticed one of the ladies that I emailed was at the top
of my viewed list, so I waited for her to contact me. This
was several months ago, and lets just say I'm still
waiting.
Whatever happened to no thanks? This saying can be abbreviated
into NT as well. Reply....2 letters...click. How hard
is that?
A recent experience of mine involved someone who kept showing
up on my viewed list after I made intial contact. No reply.
I emailed back a few days later saying I saw you at the top
of my viewed list. If you are interested or not, please reply
so I can contact you or stop bothering you. An hour later,
they were at the top of my viewed list again. No reply.
Since electronic communication is real time, I consider
this just as offensive as someone saying nothing after
I just looked them in the eyes and said hello. It's rude.
Period.
You got too many emails to answer? Turn your profile off
until you catch up. You aren't there for a few days...put
an autoreply on saying this.
Come back with whatever you want, but there is never an excuse
for rudeness.
Situation 2 - vaginas with egos
This one is funny. I read a profile the other day from a couple
that talked about how friendly and fun they are in their
profile. They also say they don't like rude, pushy
or offensive people.
They end their profile with orders to any that would dare
reply:
(be aware that they had no pictures of themselves to look
at while reading this part)
You better send a picture or you will be blocked. The picture
must contain this, this, or this or you will be blocked.
If single men reply you will be blocked (even though they
come up in sesrch criteria looking for men).
For those who dont know what rude pushy and offensive mean,
read the last part of their profile again and then decide
how friendly and fun they are.
It seems that having a vagina makes you royalty on Adult FriendFinder. Even
the guys who happend to be with the vagina get upgraded to
royalty status and carry an even bigger ego.
Let it be known...
I may not be a typical single male, but I do know this. I am
interviewing you. It's not the other way around. Your
vagina gives you no social status upgrade over me and just
because you have one, doesn't mean I want to meet you.
Also, I am not a homophobe...but if you are the male counterpart
of a couple, please do not start our conversation asking
to see "my stuff". I am straight, like my profile
says. A simple hello will suffice.
