IM Protocol

I've been on and off this site for a number of . The one thing I've never figured out is the protocol. I guess, I expect to respond, at least say "hi" or "not interested" or something instead of just ignoring. Maybe I don't get it or maybe there are just a lot of bots on here. I guess curious what others experience. Maybe going about it all wrong. Or maybe I need to be a woman! HA. Interested to what other find. blogshock4321

 I can't seem to get a response to more than 2 or 3 in a hundred, I'd say. I don't know if Senior Sizzle doesn't let them through just to use up the attempts we are allowed, or if due to limited attempts that the ladies are saving them for their preferred texters. But, I agree it would be nice to receive acknowledgement of reception.

 So let's look at the facts first. Oh . . . we weren't given any here. For instance . . .
we don't know if you read their profiles,
we don't know if you fit what they were looking for (age, location, etc, etc),
we don't know if or how they wanted to be approached,
we don't know what you said to them,

Add to that . . . no one is required to respond to anyone else. Especially if you don't fit their interests.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

 Redfockrascal - I don't disagree with any of that. Plus when you do connect with a lady and you realize that most woman are getting blasted by IMs from men that some of them are very guarded. That being said, I know as a straight guy, I'll get IMs from bi or bicurious males, I just respond, not interested or not Bi. Simple and to the point. That's all. I know that no one is required to do anything but if I chat with someone and we find we aren't compatible I do make note and make sure not to bother them again. Just some thought.

Shock, looks like Redford has it down pat, One of my pet peeves is not that some one will come on CAM or IM and not even say "hello/Hi" they make some sort of smart-ass comment about what is going on , before you can answer they are gone with out even a "good -by"

Another thing is the massive ratio of guy and gals... and one that looks outstanding to one , most likely will look that way to the horny masses, then her in box is flooded..
Another input you have ,is to put comments under her photo or add a comment to her "status' they do look but they do remember Mr.Crude and Mr. Rude , Be nice, find a place to slide in a complementary comment , it can't hurt and then she may see your IM.. have a good day, and I hope success for you.

 Profile is clear I don't use the im but it's ignored. I could put it on busy but it's still ignored. If I did use it I would not answer most of the ims I get. Paying members either don't read my profile or think they are special so I will make a exception for them. Non paying members can't read profiles but not my problem they will not spend the money. Almost every man is to young or crude or has a damn dick picture. Not interested in them. Again not my problem they will not pay. They waste their points. Don't give a damn.
Humans are the most dangerous animals on earth.

If only animals had the ability to know when to keep away from us humans they would be better off.
