If I get any sort of message from a guy that I have no interest in, I just don't respond.

 

Yeah, same here. If a girl sends me a message and I don't like her profile, I just don't respond. Some are nice, but I don't want to deal with the crazy ones that will say I'm racist, shallow, insecure, mean or whatever reason they come up with why I didn't contact them. The real reason is, I just don't think we are compatible. Girls do it to me as well, does not hurt my feelings.

I agree.

 

Another reason I don't respond to all women I'm not interested in is they rarely respond to me if they are not interested. Fair is fair.

I think responding to an email is just the human thing to do. I have had men reply thanking me for sending them what is in essence a rejection email simply because so many women don't extend them that courtesy.

The dating world is an intensely competitive place where people usually don't respect each other. One poster posts that she leaves people haning after several interactions. These are good people who she didn't find as good as someone else. This has happned to me numerous times in a year.

 

When I get treated like this by so many, it's a bit much to want to reply back to the emails I get when I'm not interested. I doubt they would do the same for me.
