Women what does it mean when you send this type of response back to a guy online?

[PhillyDude]

He sends a compliment and then you reply back saying-"thank You"

 

Nothing else?? Does that mean no attraction? If so why bother to respond at all? Wouldn't it be easier to ignore the message?

[Don Ho]

Well you shouldn't be sending compliments. I see you're just the AFC. In this case that was a polite blow off. Move on.

That why some women appear to be on medcation. If i get a reply from a woman I have no interest in I DELETE and IGNORE.

 

Women for some reason feel the need to be polite which is borderline retardation

it means she accepted you. she is waiting for you to take initiative to say smth meanningful and ask her questions to show interest.

It means you are a creep and to leave her alone. No not really, sorry . It does not mean anything but "thank you". She is being polite. What did you expect her to say? Ask you out on a date?

[zengirl]

I'd say it was really a "No, thank you," but she couldn't bear to add the "No." But, really, seems like an odd thing to do.

We can't win if we do, can't win if we don't.

 

If I respond with a polite rejection, the dude flips out.

 

If I don't respond, the dude flips out.

 

Literally.

And the guy complimenting her would have beeeeen, what, help me out here?

 

... Yeah, good job, keep up that attitude!

We can't win if we do, can't win if we don't.

Not me, It's normal to look and if no interest keep moving. That's like sending your resme to a company and instead of the company not getting back to you they call you on the phone to say-"you are not qualified for the position"

[xpaperxcutx]

You're readining too much into it. A thank you means thank you just as yes means yes and no means no.

[meerkat stew]

What exactly do you expect? She is sifting through many Emails from men on the site who compliment her in some way. Try not complimenting her and instead challenging her politely, teasing her or making a joke you think she will like. In other words, approach her exactly as all the people in her life approach her who aren't looking to play on her vanity with compliments.

If a pretty girl sent me a message today saying-"you are handsome" I think I'm going to say more than thank you. Boy women are so annoying

Well, I like it when the company sends a basic email saying I'm not being considered or they've filled the position or some such. And more companies are doing that now.

 

And no stranger on the internet knows what you like or how to treat you. Plenty of people want "No, thank yous" and plenty of people find them needless or even annoying because they are direct rejection. I really think being so extreme and strange about it is silly -- she doesn't appear to need medication just because she doesn't suit your particular tastes in communicating or not communicating her disinterest.

That's great. But basically you didn't get the results you wanted, so you slam an entire gender? It'd be best to address that. Be careful not to let that slip out or reflect that in any way on an online profile.

 

Sometimes a "thank you" and nothing else, is a way to convey gratitude without aggravating a sensitive subject. Maybe she had spotted your sentiment...?

I said some womem not all

[curlygirl40]

I'm going to comment here and run the risk of being called retarded or annoying. (or both)

 

I had a guy e-mail me on Match. All he said was 'I think you're really cute. Just had to say that'.

 

That's all he said.

 

I don't think we would be a good match, but for some reason, because he seemed like a really nice guy (not like the creepy guy named convict that winked at me yesterday, blah!), I sent back an e-mail which said 'you're very sweet. Thanks for the compliment'.

 

And that's all I said. So I'm retarded. Or I need medication. Or possibly I like to annoy men just for the sport.

 

Since he gave me a compliment I wanted to say thanks. That's all. Simple really.

[curlygirl40]

Oh I forgot to answer your original question.

 

It meant thank you. That's all. If I was interested in him after I said 'thank you' I would have said something like 'how bout them Mets?', to keep the conversation going.

 

I know not every woman will say the same thing, but I didn't say only 'thank you' so that he would then pursue me. If I had an interest I would have also said something to keep the conversation going.

I guess that is the difference between some men and women. I just got a message 5 mins ago from a girl who was pretty saying she thinks I'm cute. I then send her a reply back saying thank you and what my name is and how her evening is going.

And that was something I never understood since I been dating. This goes all the way back to 1999 and could never understand why a woman feels she needs to be polite. It has always been the woman who were straight forward and told me it isn't going to work. I have more respect for those women. I always had less respect for POLITE WOMEN

[curlygirl40]

Well the only thing I can say is that men and women are different. We just are. We're wired differently, we think differently, we act differently, we interpret things differently.

 

The funny thing about your last post is that I am the kind of girl who will be direct if I don't think it's going to work out.

 

On my first Match date (and my first dating experience in 20 years! I'm currently separated and was married for 18 years), the morning after he sent me a text telling me he had a great time and would like to see me again. And I sent him a text back and told him I didn't feel like we 'clicked'. I was very honest and direct with him. I was still polite. But I didn't avoid him and wait for him to get the message. (A friend said to me 'silence is all this dude needs to hear, he'll get the hint) That's not my style.

 

So I guess being polite and nice does not mean that you also won't be direct when the situation warrants it. I'm thinking as I type here, so hopefully I'm making sense. If a guy e-mails me on Match to say "I think you're cute" and I reply "I don't find you attractive and I don't think we would be a good match", it's direct but it's rude. Hmmmmmm See, I can't figure out women either, and I have breasts.

What about women on POF who never responded to my message but keeps viwing my profile?-lol weird right?

[Knittress]

I don't get the dating forum. I read threads about how we women are snotty bitches because we don't respond to poor guys who were only trying to be friendly. Now I hear that we're conniving mind-screwers because we're showing friendly disinterest.
