bac Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Men, could you tell me what it means? On personals, I am writing emails to guys who are younger than me. And I have noticed that they often do not write my name and their own names. I actually sense it as a turn off. And, it is so easy to avoid it. As for me, I always say their names in emails because I think it is normal and respectful thing to do. Of course, our relationship can not be serious, but they really want to meet me and have fun. I want the same. Is it normal that they do not mention my name when they email me? Is it a sign of disrespect like they have no idea what my name is and they can not care less of what my name is? How can I say them politely that it is a good idea to mention person's name when you email them especially when you are looking for something sexual. Is it a good idea to tell them about it? Or just let them be who they really are. I think that the young guys are extremelly sexually mature, but unfortunatelly they are immature socially and emotionally. Edited October 16, 2009 by bac

Is it normal that they do not mention my name when they email me? Is it a sign of disrespect like they have no idea what my name is and they can not care less of what my name is? Yes, it's normal. I don't see anything disrespectful about not addressing the other person by name or not signing off with one's own name when communicating with people on dating sites. We are not talking about formal correspondence here.

No, it's not a good idea, unless you want to come across as a weirdo. And quite frankly, if you think that something this minor is a sign of sexual and emotional immaturity, you've got some serious issues of your own...
boogieboy Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Youre trying to change the guys before you even meet them? Dont burden them with your pet peeves, since youre writing to them, you dont have the upper hand. No doubt youre writing guys who are in high demand, and theyre guys. They dont want to spend more time than they need to with returning emails. They probably also dont want to show too much interest by putting your name in there to keep you wondering. They know how to play the game.

I am actually from foreign culture and I am just more sensitive emotionally because I am a female.

xpaperxcutx Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 After the formal introductions, much of the correspondence carry on with out mentioning the others' name. It is normal, since after introductions, everything more casual and written colloquially. I actually have corresponded with a guy without having exchanged names. I find it added a mysterious aura to our interactions, one which I have no complaints about. I much rather enjoyed the idea of having our identities a secret.
