I am not seeing new people???!!! What is this?

June 14 2013

Hi Ladies and GentlemenJust a friendly question.I have received this sentence from almost ant match that I found on this website:"I am not seeing new people, but thanks for your message"What is this? Is there someone sitting somewhere creating different profiles and then sending the same answer? Or is it because most people here are thinking the same? Or Ladies here are all busy with other people as they say?Or something else which I don't know?Is it possible statically that all the ladies that you contact them, they all have exactly the same answer?I have seen in some profile that they have mentioned: we are not seeing anyone, so I respected their wish and did not contact them. BUTIf other are not seeing other people, why they don't write in their profile this important bit of information?Anyway, I don't have an answer, so that's why I thought it is not bad to discuss it here. Maybe you got the answer.Thanks for your time.

    This is a template reply that is an automatic response to all messages. It's an easy way to answer every message without having to read them all. If they are interested in you they'll get back to you when they have the chance.

    It is one of the standard responses you can choose when replying to your messages. It is a nice way of telling you they are not interested. Same for the I am busy at the moment replies. I will tell you something for nothing. When Brad Pitt and George Clooney call me to arrange that threesome I will definitely NOT be busy. ⊂(◉‿◉)つ

    Like Meeka said, it's probably a nice way of telling people that they're not interested in the person whom messaged them. And it can also mean that those members are only staying for the Forums, but leaving their profiles open so the Forums posters can contact them if three is a need to do so. For example me, lately I am mainly here for the Forums, so I hid my profile once. But at one time the other posters and I were talking about leggings and one of the nice ladies offered to PM me the links to buy funky leggings, but only then she found out that my profile was locked and she couldn't PM me. Therefore, I now leave my profile open, but not receiving new messages. So, it could be any reasons that people have to say that they are not meeting new people, but still keep their profiles open.- Posted from rhpmobile

    That is true Sweetgem but if a woman is here only for the forums and is truly not interested in meeting any new people that is what they write on their profile. Mind you it doesn't stop all the messages but that is what you write. Therefore if a woman doesn't say that on her profile that means she would still be interested in meeting someone that she was attracted too. Right? Or am I right? So the I am busy or I am not meeting new people generally means. Thank you but no I am not interested.

    Quoting 'Meeka100' So the I am busy or I am not meeting new people generally means. Thank you but no I am not interested. It's just one more way to (not) say "NO" for the women who suck at saying no. As I said before, any answer not containing the word "NO", will be read by a lot of men as "MAYBE". And they all know the maybe will eventually become a yes if they just keep trying.

I like this one: It's just one more way to (not) say "NO" for the women who suck at saying no.I hope if someone wants to say NO, dare to use these 2 letters "N" and "O" and not anything else.

    Meeka, you have a point there 😊 and you are not wrong about nothing can stop the messages from flooding in. Like I have strongly stated in my profile that no couples to contact me because of reasons A B C D, but I still get couples sending me flirts with the preset messages like "I have some free time, please message me if you're interested" or "I'm keen, please message me if you want to meet". Seriously, I truly think that some people purposely send me the flirts just to annoy me! lol Ms_D, I don't know about other women, but I don't literally use the word "NO" when I write back to reject a contact, but I always say it straight that I am not interested, in a polite tone of course, and had only one guy who couldn't stop writing back asking for a second chance! I mean really, he didn't even get the first chance, so where did the second chance come from?!?!?! Lol Each to their own :-)- Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'sweetgem'Ms_D, I don't know about other women, but I don't literally use the word "NO" when I write back to reject a contact, but I always say it straight that I am not interested, in a polite tone of course My messages are the same. "I'm just not interested", or "You're not who I'm looking for", still contain the word no. My point is that a lot of women (from personal experience) use excuses that they think make clear they are not interested, when they really don't. Saying: "I'm not meeting new people rigt now", means "But try again in a week, as obviously the reason I'm saying no is not you, it's just lack of time". Totally generalised: Women are great at hints, digs and ambiguous messages. Men are not. Simple.

    It gets to me, is because I'm the opposite. Maybe it's the being raised in Holland thing (we have a rep for being blunt), but I tend to speak my mind and therefore don't feel the need to complain about the men here as some ladies do. "He won't take no for an answer, what a jerk!". Eh no, it's because you haven't actually said no yet. You teach people how to treat you. If you're clear about what you want, expect, and what your boundaries are, it makes things easier for you and everyone around you. Same goes for raising kids and owning pets, doesn't it? That doesn't mean you have to be rude or bossy either. It's not just the girls though. I have a male friend who's ambiguous messages have driven me crazy sometimes.

    Of saying "I'm not seeing anyone new", because I wanted to be polite. Truth was, I wasn't interested at all. However, as some would contact me again to see if my time had freed up, I now simply say "Thanks for your message & compliment/s, however I'm not interested. Best of luck though" :)- Posted from rhpmobile

Is was agreeing with Sweetgem, saying my messages are the same as hers. You can be direct and polite at the same time, and don't even have to use the word "no" itself. But how come you added words to my quote? I would never say "atm", nor "at the moment". That would make a "no" into a "maybe" again. You're right though by saying the quote in the OP "I am not seeing new people, but thanks for your message" was decisive.
