I actually have the opposite problem I can't really get myself to send messages to people, so therefore i don't realy get many back.

I just can't send a message without feeling wick.

"I love marry OFF, I hate FAKE PEOPLE"

Why is there not a button that says this i demand a button that says this.harsh but true

I'm not desperate just need some affection..........not a lot to ask is it?

OMG, RG! I mean, seriously... Really... Hello? You are supposed to say: I have changed my mind and will stay online some more, but I don't want to talk to you... And, mum, I know I said I'd make tea, but I didn't, so you can create a 30 minute conversation on that subject.

Thanks Bliss, I knew I was wrong but couldnt see how to do things right.

This is a bit of an odd one. Quick scan through the thread for the first time, the opening poster should be able to answer her own questions as she has said she has done it

But they do come in both genders. I've had a few not very nice comments when I tell some women that I'm not really interested in traveling far. Also when I politely say thanks but no thanks, after a message.

Some men are probably worse. Its probably harder for some men to get used to equal rights and women changing so much. They have probably been in relationship for years before their break up, and deep down want the sort of relationship as used to be, with the little old lady behind the kitchen sink. Most women want something different though.
Also easily chatting then rejected, by someone that is probably unattainable for them can be disappointing for some men.
I rarely message anyone, so not sure if I've ever come over like that

But there are desperate women and men.
