When receiving an email from someone you aren't particularly interested in, it is impolite to not respond? I just got blasted from someone who thinks so & was quite offended. I send emails and get no response all the time, & I just go on.... What do y'all think?

Yes I think its impolite but if your not interested why bother? Most of the time you are gunna get caught up in the whys. Most ppl take the no reply as you not being interested. Someone blasted you for this? HaHa Yeah now theres a keeper. Maybe a good thing you didnt reply.

I personally respond to any e-mail...even if it's to say "thanks, but no thanks". I feel it's the polite/considerate thing to do if someone has taken the time to write. I have never been "blasted" by anyone, and have had most say they appreciate the reply even though it was not the one they had hoped for.

I reply to all emails I receive unless it is from a scammer or from someone expressing interest in me without having bothered to read my profile (probably a scammer too). Obviously I don't get as many emails as some of the ladies here, but I still tihnk it's polite to respond to a polite email.

I usually respond to all emails, sometimes if it's a really disgusting guy asking me to have cyber sex with him or something, i'll send a really crass reply.
sometimes i don't respond though, like if i know there's no chance of me ever being interested.

It's just common courtesy to respond if you think about it, at least acknowledge the person taking the time to write you. It's not going to kill you to take 2 mins to write someone back.

If I were to e-mail someone I would want the courtesy of a reply so yes I respond to e-mails at least thanking them for the time to do it.

I don't know how many emails I have sent off to people and received no reply... if someone isn't interested, there is no need to reply...
heck many people just stop writing even after contact... with no good bye, etc...
we're all strangers, we don't owe anything to anyone... I've met many nice folks, but the majority of people I have met online have no manners, and are rude as can be...

I usually only respond to those I've talked to in the forums before. I've been harassed by a guy saying I was lying on my profile that they could e-mail me anytime. I told him why would I waste my time responding if he wouldn't even take the time to put up a picture.

I guess it depends on what the email is about. Sometimes i get some from people from the chat room or things like that saying hey where you been? Oh yes, i'll drop folks like that a reply. But one i got about 3 months ago, i was a bit clueless how to answer it, it was from a Chinese girl, that went on and said she shaved her head and got tatooes and her tongue pierced, and wanted someone that would shave their head, even though the email started out nice, i figured, hmmmm, if i answer it, i will get more emails that make no sense, anyway i wish the girl luck. But most emails i respond to. Earl

This subject has been brought up in these forums sooo many times. The fact of the matter is, people treat the internet the way they treat people in their everyday lives. That should give you a huge indication about what kind of person they are. If I'm offended by an email, that's when I will definitely answer it I may check the profile first to see what kind of jerk they are first, that's my nature. If someone just says "wow you're hot, call me" with a phone number....it gets deleted without even reading the profile. If someone emails me and wants to discuss something about my blogs, I always reply, because they have taken the time to read my blogs, which is cool, and then taken more time to write me about it, so I can take a few minutes to write them, whether I like what they say or not. i don't even read those profiles, I just read the emails. I always take the time to answer emails from people on my Friends list, that goes without saying. In my opinion, people who answer emails strictly based on what the sender's profile says, would be the same person that would only talk to the people he or she found to be good looking at a party and would probably end up sitting by themselves most of the nite. I think sometimes it's more important to read what is said than who says it.

If I can't understand their e-mail due to poor grammar and spelling, then I don't respond. If it's an e-mail telling me how great another site is. I don't respond. If it's a chain e-mail. I don't respond. If they took the time to actually write something articulate with an honest opinion, I will most certainly respond. Sorry, but responding to people who simply can't get their point across isn't worth my time. If they can't form an intelligent sentence then they are not likely to understand anything I send them back anyway. And if I get "lambasted" for NOT RESPONDING??? Oh well!! It was their time wasted. Not mine!!

Who are these people who blast at folks for not responding? lol, its a hint folks, if they don't respond, they don't want to hear from you... so write them off as a loss...
Why waste the energy? there are too many positive outlets....

I usually try to reply within a few days or so...but, there are always the odd few that are impatient and email me again, asking why I didn't have the common courtesy to reply right away, so I tell them the truth.... I don't always have the time to reply right away. If they're upset over the small delay, well then...so be it. I'm really not interested, if they're the impatient kind. Too many years of watching my mom running (yes, she actually RAN sometimes!!) from store to store, in order to get what she needed for the house, and at the same time...worry that my dad will be mad if she "takes too long".   and I have to admit...some I didn't reply to...for whatever reason...all valid, IMO.

I totally agree, blasting someone and getting nasty if they don't write back is uncalled for. Obviously if they haven't received an answer it's for a reason and it should be left at that. With some people it's an ego thing, they are bothered by the fact that someone could turn them down because they think so much of themselves. Some others, they might really want to talk to the person they are emailing. Hard to say, but be thankful for the block button!

Geez! Anyone that flys off the handle over a simple non response really shouldn't be in here. At least they shouldn't be in here looking for a relationship, as they obviously aren't mature enough to handle one.

i agree with baseballmom...it may be impolite but still necessary. i've recieved e-mails from men old enough to be my grandpa, inviting me to go eat hamburgers at their house or recieving money for sex...or from random guys asking if you like to be spanked hard or asking how big your boobs are...and someone like that isn't going to have the best intentions. and if you reply saying "thanks but no thanks", it seems they'll usually take it more offensively than not replying at all.
why waste your time when its not worth it?

Hi
i think its just polite and well mannered to reply as long as the e-mail received is also polite & well mannered ... if its a begging mail for naked photos then you cant blame anyone for not replying ... treat others as you wish to be treated if you send and expect a reply then reply to ones you have received ..
& by the way ive not had any asking for naked photos it was just an example
