A (hopefully different) question about rhp replies

February 22 2018

Hi everyone. So I've seen a few topics posted about not getting replies or abusive replies but my query is different in that I'm talking about the shortness or content of replies. For example I might ask how someone is and ask about something I've noticed in their profile e.g. a photo of them dressed up/instrument they play/movie genre they've mentioned etc. I might say something complimentary about a photo/s and ask a question and the response might be "I'm good" or "friends birthday party/ I like comedies" and nothing else. No "and how about you?" or anything that might say they want to engage me in conversation. I might send a second and third thinking they might expand on their answers as we nessage more (thinking they might feel more comfortable or confident as we message more) but still get the same "robotic" (for lack of a better word) type of replies. What do you guys think? Are they not interested and just being nice hoping I'd go away? Are they maybe just not great message writers and perhaps better face to face? Is it some other reason, perhaps fake profiles somehow? Am I just reading too much into it? I don't abuse them and I don't get cut up by it when this happens but it does put me in two minds as I think if they respond they might be interested in at least chatting but the responses I do get make me think maybe not. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers 😊 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Favour. Because in person they may further not be able to articulate themselves or be social. Lack of response is great cause you know where you stand so you move on .

    If it looks too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true. Maybe, the sparks that you fire, are of the likes, reading another mans likes, the pretty picture is where your troubles will repeat them selves again and again. Women we have found have yes absolutely love it, i first saw the sjsjdncvpdivnjdpvasdivn;nmmmmmmamasshddhdhhoooodflol, sooooo did you think that was dhhfhfviviviviiffvnnvnvnvvnnvnvvvv, i did'nt iether, omg eewww, so why didn't you like that when for that, do tell ? Completely outside of your comfort zone, is where you may strike a conversation with a woman.

    I think if they were interested they would possibly engage more and put some effort in? Also if there are no sparks flying in messages then I doubt they would be there in RL?But I wouldn't read too much into it. There are so many reasons why people might not be more interactive at that particular time. None of them might be anything to do with you. Robotic sex doesn't sound that much fun anyway

    They are generally swamped with messages, and because they lead busy lives, they don’t have the time nor the energy , to reply in depth ? Or perhaps they are not interested and are just trying to be polite by sending you a short reply ? - Posted from rhpmobile

    There's a good chance if it's women you're messaging they're just swamped with messages from dozens of other guys. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Who were very short in their messages but gone onto meet them and they were completely different in real life! Very chatty, very social and very down to earth. This is why I always encourage to meet people in RL rather than send endless messages because you can't judge someone until you meet them

    If people are slack virtually, there's a good chance that they will be slack physically. Don't waste your time trying to chat to people who can't be bothered to chat properly. It shouldn't be a task. It will feel natural when it's right. Keep trying. - Posted from rhpmobile

    It’s such a chore responding to these things. Say, im sitting on my couch at the end of the day just relishing the privacy... a bit of my time.. and perving on a couple of profiles, sometimes, really, the last thing I want to do is be sociable, but the messages keep coming. All mundane stuff like single line ā€œhow are you?ā€.... genuine questions for sure, and lovely folk, all in all. First it was phone calls to land line. - ā€œhe’s out of the officeā€ was a perfect excuse. Then facsimile machines came along. Followed by the inevitable call ā€œdid you get my fax?ā€ Then mobile phones - by then the rot had set in but you could still say ā€œI’ll look at it when I get back to the office. Then emails replaced fax. ā€œDid you get my emailā€ - I’ll look at it when I get back to the office. Then mobiles got email technology. All hell is breaking loose as we juggle fifty projects simultaneously. Now of course, we have iPads, what’s app, mobile phones, Twitter, emails, social media... and instant messaging. Checking and responding to messages is now a full time job. I’m so over it. Can’t we just say hi, then meet at a pub or somewhere, leaving the data off the hook for a while? Yes, you’re the most important person in my life, mate. I’d love a chat, over a scotch. Hugs Gaz

    Guys are the worst at messaging. After their first message of "Hi how are you" then l answer with a thoughtful response and ask how they are. All I usually get back is "good thanks" No lead in with another question. So that's usually it for me. I move on.

    I cannot handle men that send shitty messages, one liners and expect you to do most of the talking. Ive practically written back with a 10 page essay lol for them to write me a one liner. I will not engage in conversation if they dont know how to talk and I have already made my mind up that I wont meet a man I find so boring. I like to form a friendship with who I speak to/reply to and find them interesting, funny and they know how to chat. If I allow a man to cum here I never ever jump in the sack first. I still am getting to know them and I like to chat alot first. Alot of men that I have spoken to think with their cocks and think its all about the fucking. Sorry boys, Im not just a fuck and anyone can just "fuck" fucking alone is boring. I like interesting fun men and it makes the sex so much better/exciting.

    You know how people say to "go with your gut feeling, because it's usually the right one..?" I think you're dead right that they're not interested and are being the minimal of nice....hoping you'll move on without them having to feel the guilt associated with outright ignoring a question or doing the silent treatment. I think most people have a( guilty ) conscience about something or other. Most of us are probably taught from a young age to be nice to others...don't ignore people when they're talking to you, and try not to hurt feelings. They're trying to find a compromise between not hurting you AND themselves, I believe. Because the opposite would be obvious. If they were interested in you, they'd be engaging you in conversation to the best of their( limited or not ) ability. Trust those instincts.

    Quoting 'Koolgrey' I think you're dead right that they're not interested and are being the minimal of nice....hoping you'll move on without them having to feel the guilt associated with outright ignoring a question or doing the silent treatment. Women in particular are conditioned to be nice and try not to hurt people's feelings. Some of us have learned over the years to be more assertive, but there are still many women who won't just straight out tell you that they're not interested. Even if someone doesn't have best message writing skills, or doesn't have a lot of time, you can still almost always tell whether they are genuinely interested or not. I would be going with your gut and if they aren't showing any signs of interest back towards you then I'd just cut your losses and move on.

    Some may not realise the message system. They may write a simple response but not realise they cannot add to it later, until you again reply. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I think it’s because many people want to be persued rather than be the persuer. A very typical position of the lazy online dater. They want to have something that’s fits their perfect ideal and don’t lend themselves to any effort if discovery. Quick judgments, impatience, uncertain in any real sense about what they want and/or how they think they can manage to get it. It’s a drainer more often than not. - Posted from rhpmobile

    If someone makes the effort to message me and comments on my profile/picture that to me shows they actually bothered to read what I have to say and is hopefully genuine and is interested in finding out more about myself!! It’s frustrating I agree with three word answers lol I do however like long messages I am on here to find new friends and perhaps more so definitely put in the effort - Posted from rhpmobile

    Obviously everyone has different reasons for why they do things and how and why they respond to messages. But that's how I would respond if I was not really interested but didn't want to be rude by not answering. When someone sends a message that asks "how are you?" I don't really feel I can answer that with "you're not what I'm looking for!" If I'm interested in someone I will let them know and ask them about themselves.
