I've had the same rant. Which is worse? Those who read, or those who read and totally disregard?

In the UK there is a thing called the telephone preference service where you can opt out of receiving unsolicited marketing calls (which I have). So, when someone calls despite this, there is the question as to how to react. The one you've chosen, ie politely explaining the position, is by far the most courteous. I am ashamed to admit that I would rarely be in such a good mood that I'd do that. My usual is to say "yes, I am vey interested, just hang on a minute" and then wander off and leave the phone for a few minutes until they give up. So at least I am wasting their time like they wasted mine. Sometimes I am ruder. I think the point I am making is that if someone approaches you in a way that you've made clear they shouldn't, then any response (including the one I'd normally use, ignoring them) is absolutely fine.

"Thanks, you, don't match my interests." is the best answer to discourage further attempts. Indifference is the key A post and such a long answer may instead be interpreted as a click. Somehow he "shook" you.

Best summed up by the northern English expression: there'e nowt so queer as folks. It was said that if you propositioned enough total strangers with the question: wanna fuck? you'd eventually get a taker. I have no interest in a 24/7 slave relationship, but I seem to get more than a few people offering. In most cases, people (who don't pay) can't read profiles, so I imagine this explains why many people offer totally unattractive proposals. Oh well...

I think you were kind to him.......not that he deserved it ! I get many telling me how they could "change" my mind.......I don't think so. I will always answer a polite, well written e-mail but one like you got would have raised the hair on the back of my neck.
