Why is it that some blokes keep messaging even if you dont reply? (perhaps the ladies do it too?)
Surely the fact that someone doesn't reply means they're not interested?

I get tired of these people who just dont seem to grasp it and my list of blocked members is growing rapidly, mainly for this reason Confused

I have sent messages and got no reply but I leave it at that, no point flogging a dead horse is there?

i agree..it is pretty sad that people dont get the hint..and yes women do the same, but i believe its nothing to the amount of msgs women get from men..

think some people just dont like 'no' as an answer..

Ive got to admit I sometimes forget who I message and might send messages to the same person twice if they havent replied to the first, but I guess you mean people who send messages again, and again, and again

Perhaps you'll have to forgive the forgetfull among us?

I suppose that's going to happen on these type sites, though it is odd. I've sent a few messages, I suspect to women I haven't got a chance with, and I rarely get replies so there's no use in messaging them again. Better then getting no messages I should imagine though....like me Confused

Yeh I can understand that but its the repeat offenders that are a nuisance. And they often refer to their last message so they quite obviously haven't forgotten who they messaged

twice is a mistake ... 10 times is just taking the biscuit though

Do you send a polite 'sorry not interested' ?..do you get a different response when you do that ?

I don't bother reading the repeat offenders mails. Just delete. Seems to get rid of them quicker cos they can see in hteir outbox that you've not read it.

Just dont delete or read the repeat offenders..that way they can see day in and out that your not interested..if you delete, it goes from their outbox and they might 'forget' that they sent you a msg..

I have tried that tactic but some of them just wont be told ! They see it as a small victory that you have replied even though its a 'no' !

Its your own fault for being gorgeous

Still i can appreciate the annoying aspect. Some guys just think persistence is flattering and attractive. They feel if they keep at you, you'll relent eventually and appreciate them all the more for it.
